Death and taxes. The only two things that are inevitable…read more While the prospect of both of them are unpleasant, I just experienced a local business that makes the tax process much more bearable. They are a small firm that can provide individual attention, something you will never get from H & R Block (and the like). My taxes are challenging, to say the least. I am an independent contractor, but "on the books" with one client, own property, have deductions, etc. Plus I went to Art School, so numbers just aren't my thing. Ha. Combined with the fact that the tax laws change yearly, who can keep up with that unless it is your business to do so? Well Fleck & Uhlich keeps up with all of that, no worries. From my initial consultation, when I sat down with Barbara and went over all my concerns, I received great customer service. All of my emails and phone calls were returned promptly, and my questions were answered. She even suggested that I open a SEP IRA, in addition to my Roth IRA, to help with deductions and to secure my retirement. I was happy to do just that, and wondered why my former tax preparer had never suggested this to me. If you need help dealing with your taxes, I suggest you give Fleck & Uhlich a try. I found their services to be professional, efficient, and friendly.

My husband and I own two dental offices. They are both in small towns in central Illinois. The…read morePesavento firm is 2 hours away, but we use them because they have been worth every penny. We started using Pesavento because of a recommendation from a friend. Our friend had worked with Mark Pesavento, but he is no longer taking on new clients as he is transitioning to retirement. We were assigned to Steve Swan as our accountant, and we couldn't be happier with his service. Not only is he always available to us professionally, but he goes above and beyond with personal service. What do I mean by that? He takes a real interest in our personal lives, even sending us a congratulatory card and gift when our daughter was born! In terms of accounting, we get valuable advice and maximize our available deductions. We started saving a lot more money once we switched to Pesavento compared to our former accountant. What more can you ask for? The excellent customer service and great accounting are why I plan to stay a client of Pesavento for the duration of my career. If you are a dentist, it makes sense to work with a firm that specializes in dental offices.

If I could, I would give this place 0 stars. Don't use them. They are horrible. First time I…read moreused them the bill was $500, second time over $750. I refused to pay it with no information about what they actually did spend time on. Just accounting codes. I can't imagine my taxes took them more than 15 mins to do. It took over 2 years to actually figure out a compromise, which was not in my favor. We are talking 2 years like...I called them to figure it out, got no return call, I called again, got no return call, I received a letter in the mail and called them to discuss, and then about 6 months after I had written them off, they called to address the issue. I hope they go out of business soon, they are a debt to society.

I have had other professional friends that have bounced around accountants for years, but as you can see, I have been with Garfield Ridge for 40+ years and that should speak for itself.
