CONTEXT: Getting older (every day) and financial security is a priority to me, and I wanted to see where all my bread goes! Y'all know I love food! LOL. I wanted to set some budgets and goals with a trusted advisor. WHAT I GRABBED: Financial Advisory for the year, quarterly minimum with access to Jeff and team for financial planning as needed, discussing/planning short to long-term financial goals. COMMENDS: Jeff is clever af. He was able to drop gems within the first 10 minutes of our conversation based on my situation. I'll speak on one, an investment with my savings that netted me a couple of hundreds within a day. Now results will vary based on what you investing, but gains indeed! RECOMMENDS: Have a discovery call with the team to see if Jeff's team can be of assistance to you and your situation. OVERALL:/VALUE: 5/5 Great value so far. I've only had one session and starting on my plan with optimism. I did have trouble contacting the team at the beginning around holiday time and expressed my concern. Jeff Badu, the CEO, reached out to schedule a follow-up and explained the miscommunication. I'll follow up as the year progresses with updates! WHAT I'M VOUCHING FOR: Solid financial advice based on your situations and a range of other services around tax planning. Until next time Yelpers, LOVE, LIVE, and STACK!

I was referred to Badu Tax Services by another Tax accountant, the initial meeting seemed promising…read moreand some of the employees were very helpful, but when it came to actually getting taxes completed my tax preparation was rushed. Here is why I know that: the email responses I was receiving were usually a 5-7 day late during tax season, they were overwhelmed by the number of customers, my taxes were higher than what I was able to obtain though another CPA. In addition, I requested to be removed from their mailing list back in November 2024 and still receive emails about follow ups and promotions despite me being a customer. This just reminds me about the company that took $2,000 for services that didn't offer the value I paid for.

Whatever questions we have they patiently field and answer with good advice and we always appreciate their guidance. We had a personal business as well as our W-2 jobs and their help made all the filings very simple. They demonstrate lots of experience with any curveballs we have thrown their way. Their processes allow you to securely upload tax documents at your convenience and then one is able to easily handle tax return prepping usually by email or Zoom conferencing as needed. I would recommend them to anyone who needs some help with their taxes or business tax questions.

He makes my life extraordinarily easy. My tax returns in the past have been a series of challenges. I have never once had to struggle working with Jay.

I consider what we pay him as average even moderate compared to some of the tax accountants I've used. Thank you, Jay.

If I could give negative 100 I would. We hired Jay for our business taxes and my personal taxes on…read morean emergency basis last year after we were suddenly dropped by our accountant of 10 years (see review for Karen S Freeman). During our phone interview Jay sounded great and especially loved the fact he was crypto literate. It was downhill from there. Here are the negatives..... 1, He kept accusing us og not knowing hot to properly do bookkeeping and asking us to turn over our bookkeeping to him - for a fee of course. We have never had any CPA complain about our bookkeeping and we have been doing it for 19 years. 2. He failed to depreciate our buildings at our business thereby causing me to end up owing the IRS an additional 15k in taxes that I should have never paid. Our new CPA caught this and filed an amended return to correct the mess Jay created. 3. He never filed the franchise tax report with the TX Comptroller's office and never bothered to mention that he did not file it. This caused us to get a notice from the state putting us out of business until we remedy this by filing our report. Again our new CPA is handling it. 4. Jay is constantly trying to upsell services as add ons that other CPA firms include in their tax preparation service. Also when something goes wrong it is always the clients issue never his responsibility. Stay away. This was the worst accounting experience ever.

I knew I needed help with my taxes this year. I'd moved, I'd had a regular job, but also a contract…read morejob - basically, I had no idea what I was doing when it came time to file. I'd researched some places on Yelp and called several "real" accountant firms, including the one that says they'll give you a free consultation, but they couldn't help me file my return on time ...or in one case, even bother return my call. They said they'd help me file an extension, but it was MARCH, yes, kind of late in the game, but early March and I still had over a month before taxes were due. I'd held off on calling Ameritax because I'd used places like H&R Block before and they were crazy expensive and you got charged for filing federal and then for state and then for filling in the interest you paid on your student loans and I didn't want to get gouged at a chain again. Finally I called just because I knew I needed help and they did have a good review, so I was hopeful that it would work out. Kevin did return my call and in a timely manner and we scheduled an appointment. They're even open on Saturdays, so it made it easy to find time. Kevin was great and very helpful. He didn't balk at the fact that I'd had several W2s with me plus a 1099 contract form. He didn't bat an eye at filing an out of state return. He also helped me write off moving expenses with relevant questions and student loan interest without any superficial charge. In addition, he was very fast and I was extremely happy with the results. I was afraid with the contract work, that I'd end up owing money this year, but it turns out that this wasn't the case. When all was said and done, I got a good return and I owed Ameritax no more than I expected to pay, although my service ran about twice as much as the normal tax prep cost because of the 1099. I told Kevin about the other tax places being unable to help me file on time and he couldn't believe it, which is funny, because I couldn't either. I'm glad that they were, though because I'm very happy with Kevin and Ameritax and with the level of service he provided. He's got one very loyal customer in the years to come.

I've been paying them for what I can do on my own with the automated version of TurboTax. A bummer since our friend referred us, but may be they were better many years ago.
