They had several questions and needed several meetings, every time they were pleasant on the phone in setting the meetings, many times it was getting in the SAME day.

I was referred to Lisa several years ago, after my longtime business accountant passed away…read more Providing you do not need to speak with anyone, can complete a 27-page generic questionnaire each year, and prefer one way email Liscio communication, you will love working with Lisa's firm. Communication YEAR ONE was excellent then slowly disintegrated. Each year there were 4-6 different - and new to me - people working on my taxes. Ultimately I realized some were tinkering with my taxes - i.e. pondering minor detail and billing hours rather than phoning or emailing me. I pay for high quality but draw the line at contractors digging for nickel and dime billings. My computer crashed in 2024, one year after I quit working with Lisa and her crew. It took me six weeks to obtain electronic records from them. While I appreciate Lisa's Liscio encryption system, I had to beg for my e-files while managing a family death and travel. My e-files were no longer available to me, and Lisa referred me to Liscio tech support who laughed at me and sent me back to Waterfront. ONLY after I emailed Lisa's "anonymous firm email" and cc:d the Maryland Association of CPA's with Maryland tax laws excerpts, did they cough up my e-files. Further, the tardy e-files were served up with terse email lectures of how it was my responsibility to download them - they died with my computer crash! Now I am working with tax pro's in Old Frederick who are busier than Lisa's firm, but who have customer-centric processes and built-in efficiencies - and encryption with a customer focus.

After a death in the family and a very hectic time, we hired Waterfront to do our taxes at the end…read moreof March. We signed the agreement and sent all of our documentation by the deadline Lisa gave us. After not hearing anything for a couple weeks, we tried contacting them several times. When we finally heard back, they said they would not be able to complete our taxes on time but could file an extension. That was five days before taxes were due, so now we are scrambling to do them ourselves. Very disappointing.

I'd been working with a Vanguard advisor since 2013, but they do recommend you also check with a CPA to determine how to best plan for tax efficiency year after year. I went to the appointment, was kept waiting a bit (no big deal) and once I was in the office this person (Tatyana) looked at my paperwork and started in on me with a very hard sell to get out of the market and let her manage my retirement. I said, "I just want some advice on managing my tax exposure on an annual basis". She said, "I have all of my clients out of the market" she showed me a chart of market trends since 1928 forward..."the market has risen ***% since blah blah blah. How long do you think that will go on????" You are not safe in the market, now. (Well, I've been through the 1999 crash, and fortunately was smart enough to balance my investments before the 2008 "great recession") Tatiyana's pronouncements are scare tactics to doubt what you know and your own investing knowledge and skills. She was not pleasant and was extremely arrogant. She told me to think about it, and come back in a week. I did not go back. Don't go unless you are a lamb wanting to be sheared/fleeced.
