A few years ago I used Mike as my accountant, and never had anything but glowing words for him. Those days are now officially GONE. On April 10 of this year I took my business tax paperwork to him, and since then (4+ months ago) never heard so much as ONE SINGLE WORD from him, in spite of my repeated emails, texts, and voice messages inquiring about the status of my returns. In more than one voicemail I told him that if for some reason he just didn't want to do my taxes, would he please at least return my paperwork to me? Again... no response/not a single word from either him or his front desk girl. In the meantime, I received FIVE phone calls from the WA State Department of Revenue, wondering why I hadn't filed my taxes yet? Today I finally resolved this INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING issue by getting in my car and driving to Mike's office (45 minutes from my home), walking in unannounced, (quite happily) finding him not there, and asking his front desk girl for my file, which she (thankfully!) retrieved for me. I can't tell you how RELIEVED I am to now finally be able to take my taxes to a CPA who will actually DO them... for real this time! Never in my life have I dealt with such blatant lack of courtesy and professionalism from someone who calls himself a "professional." Silence IS NOT GOLDEN when you have a client waiting on your services and trusting that you will do what you're being paid (quite well) to do. Maybe Mike has been in business for so long that he's lost interest in it? If that's the case, I'd love to know why he let me make an appointment with him in April and "acted" like he would do my taxes for me, then purposely ignored me for the next 4+ months. You might want to think twice about using his services, lest he treat you in the same manner that he did me. In the meantime, can anyone recommend a good CPA? lol read more
