We needed a local CPA to file a family members taxes for tax year 2021. Based on good reviews and a recommendation, we decided to use Pearce CPA firm, working with Adam. Based on my experience this year with a different local firm with good reviews as well, I am finding the Pearce firm charged me $225 more for the same non-complex tax return. I questioned the charge at the time as they were $275 more than what we had been paying previously in another Texas city but was told $600 was the standard for the Dallas area.
Needless to say, I am very dissappointed as I certainly do not feel I recieved any better service to warrant such an increased fee. Based on my past and present experience, I feel Pearce could benefit from taking more time to communicate with their clients to insure they have all of the info surrounding the return to be filed. For example, clients may not always be aware of every deduction that is eligible. There was very little communication/questions from them during the entire process of which could have made a difference. read more
