    Review of service performed in 2014. Puneet Gangal personally consulted with my firm, delivering a…read morecurrent state report and recommendations for improvement. While our industry was not within his area of expertise, he had been recommended by an associate. The current state report was developed from employee interviews and data the company already owned. While it was nice to have a summary, there wasn't much of a value-add, unfortunately. There were known issues, primarily with a recent ERP migration, and we were looking for a way forward. The recommendations were delivered emphatically and, we thought, credibly. Turned out to be stunningly poor advice. The recommended solutions were costly and superficial, setting the organization back by at least two years, conservatively. In retrospect, the recommendations consisted of 1) conventional wisdom that could just as well have come from a quality hour with Google and 2) echoing back what the CEO already believed were the problems and solutions. For example, rather than call out the crippling lack of in-house expertise, the company was encouraged to--in effect--double down by engaging in still more complex, technical projects with even less in-house expertise. In fairness, one could say that the worst ideas may not have originated with Mr. Gangal. Then again, he did validate them. Personable guy, and maybe things would have been different if he'd been more familiar with our business or market.

    Bumped from two stars to three for these reasons:…read more 1) The company took responsibility for a mistake that triggered a $200 fine from IRS, and refunded me for it. Thanks. 2) I was able to reach my accountant on the phone easily during the peak season, and he gave me a quick answer in a few hours - during the weekend. Still, my experience was less than satisfactory. (1) The return that the team prepared had two mistakes, which I spotted and saved myself 6,000$. This is the exact opposite of H&R Block Second Look - I was the second look! (2) There was an additional mistake that triggered a review by IRS, which costed me $200 (refunded by Dimov, as mentioned). You don't want to get reviewed by IRS. (3) Even if I started uploading my documents early, big stuff in February and March 3 (with some small updates for few hundred dollars coming later), the return was ready only on April 6, and the signature docs only on April 8. Add the weekend, and we got REALLY close to the deadline. They even suggested filing for an extension... due to their own delay. (4) My accountant was incorrect about the safe harbor and about AMT cost basis. It took multiple messages to clarify the issues, and one question was eventually escalated to his manager, who initially missed the point and gave me an unrelated answer. After multiple messages, where I quoted the tax law, we were at last in agreement. (5) The free Q4 2025 tax estimate took a month (from Nov 7 to Dec 4) after being bounced from one person to another. I ended up doing it myself and it was just double-checked by their team. (6) The team used this Q4 estimate in my return, instead of the actual values from the previous year, requiring me to scan the return line by line to find incorrect data. (7) Through the process, I received messages from 13 different people. Only one of them appears on LinkedIn or any Google search. Draw your own conclusion about this. (8) They offered me a tax-estimate package where they would help me estimate my quarterly payments. This was priced as 3 hours at 360$. Does it take 3 hours to scrape a few bank statements for data (AI is really good and fast) or 3 hours to run their software on these numbers? Come on, this is 2026. Really, not what I was expecting.
