I called in in need of my payroll taxes reduced as I knew I was paying too much per paycheck. I was booked for an appointment super quick., Madina realized I'm in Maryland and opted to do a virtual meeting. She actually gave me a great discount and the price was way below what I thought I would pay. They advised it would be $55 for 15 mins. They stuck to exactly what they promised. In addition, I had quite a few follow-up questions and some adjustments had to be made after my initial virtual meeting. They didn't inconvenience me by making me meet again, Madina got things taken care of and only called me to advise that my questions were resolved. She offered to meet again for free if I wanted to speak to the CPA again. I was not ever charged for additional work or time to re-review the questions I had. They fixed every single concern/issue. My payroll taxes are now reduced. I'm thrilled and grateful for the outcome of using this CPA company.The best part, Madina did it with the most gracious and kind attitude. Kindness is for sure her super power. I would recommend this company 10 times over! If you're thinking about using this company, reach out to Madina!!! She will get you taken care of promptly, kindly, and handle all of your needs/concerns without missing a beat.

During my first appointment with Make my Day I was met initially with an the CPA's assistant who…read moretook all my forms (which they had asked for) and talked to me for some time. This was weird because over the phone the appointment was said to be made with the CPA herself. So just be sure when you make an appointment that you know who it's with and what will occur. The assistant after looking at all my tax papers gave me a quote for $350- 375, then a quote for $450- 475, then a quote for $550- 575, then was told that I would you would need to charge by the hour to look at one thing. I'm a small business owner, and they advertise specializing in small bushiness, so I'm not really understanding that why I would need to pay her to research something like that. For each increase in price I was told that it was because she didn't notice that my taxes would require "additional work" in certain areas. She gave me the first quote after looking at all of my papers and no new information was provided the first quote to the then open ended quote of apparently I'm guessing $550 + hourly, but we don't know how many hours? Not a great way to run a business in my opinion. I liked the CPA but when it comes down to it they're going to have to run their business like a business- they can't increase the price 4 times during a meeting. They should be able to read the forms, ask some questions, give an estimate. (Edit: I don't have a ton of "issues" as the buisness owner below says, I'm just a small business owner. In fact the first increase was because "they didn't know they needed a schedule c" even I know that and I wasn't pressuring them for a quick estimate, I was happy to answer any questions). Also, the office setting is not professional. It has a really bare bones feeling. We met in the lobby (I would a private setting) and sofa was super uncomfortable, painfully so. They say that people can come in and DIY taxes with someone helping to answer questions but the little cubicles were totally empty while I was in the office- probably because this DIY area had absolutely nothing to offer- they didn't even have coffee! How can someone focus on taxes without coffee!!? (Edit: yes I brought the end of my coffee at first but did need more and didn't know they had any- I couldn't see it, I did look for it).

Over the last 15 years I've prepared my tax returns as they were fairly straight forward. This tax…read moreyear (2016) they became more complicated and I needed some assistance. Al-Khalisdar Tax and Account was one (1) of six (6) companies I looked into. During the initial phone call I found Shahinul to be very personable and knowledgeable. I explained my tax complexity and he was confident he could me through the process. Help me he did. He was patient as I did not have all of the paper work to complete the filing during our first visit. He completed the filing at the time I dropped off the last form needed. He is very efficient and effective at turning around the tax filing process in a very short time. His background and familiarity with IRS rules, Tax laws, and Accounting makes him a "go to" person for complex, and simple, tax filings. I will continue to use him in the future. The price for his services was very fair and reasonable. Frankly, the comfort knowing the filing was handled professionally and if any issues arise he is there to represent me increases the value. Thank you Shaninul.

Her pricing to do the entire tax filing was extremely reasonable, and this is coming from a guy who's pretty frugal, HA!

This was a very disappointing experience. Mike and his team were recommended by our financial…read moreconsultant and were highly regarded. But the whole experience was unprofessional and ultimately unhelpful when it came to doing our actual taxes. First, I didn't hear anything from them for a couple of weeks after our initial meeting. It required me following up to get an update. And then I had specifically asked for a heads up on whether we were likely to owe any taxes, since we were self-employed the past year and unclear whether we were paying sufficient estimated taxes. In the end, I got a response a couple of days before taxes were due to be filed with a report that we $12K in taxes. There was a potential to open an IRA to lowering our tax liability but with no guidance on how to do that and only 2 days to spare we just paid the bill. I would not recommend working with these folks. They seem like nice enough people but were either overwhelmed this tax season or understaffed. Either way, that exactly what you count on a tax account to be prepared for and they clearly failed.
