It has been 3 years now that we have been working with Perfect Balance and the experience has been the best. Melissa keeps everything very well organized, she has set both our businesses up on Quickbooks so we can see everything at the same time. Everything is ALWAYS done on time and if we ever have any questions or concerns they are answered and explained right away. She literally takes care of everything for our business! Invoices, Payroll, Filing, End of Year and everything else that comes up at a very affordable rate. I have recommended her to several people even including my own parents who use her service as well and are very happy. If you are ever in search of a great bookkeeper, I highly recommend Perfect Balance Bookkeeping!

After looking into them further and reading the bad review after bad review I began to think twice- then when I experienced first hand the very same treatment that other people were unhappy with, I began calling around to other companies. I like to support other local businesses in my area, so I started looking at local payroll companies in my area with the best reviews. Luckily, I found Payroll Solutions and called. Janet Pluntze, the owner of the business, answered and I was immediately impressed with her professionalism and willingness to help get me set up. She went above and beyond with every step in the process and really made it easy for me. The pricing is better and the service is impeccable. I love being able to get ahold of someone at all times if I need to instead of having to leave a message and wait. Payroll Solutions is highly recommended and I tell everyone I know that's in business about them. A++ rating from me.

Payroll Solutions is, without a doubt, the best partner we have ever used. You will be blown away by how responsive they are, and you will think they are making a mistake on what they charge. You can use them as much or as little as you want. They are smart, educated on all of the payroll issues that come up, and you can trust them. If you are looking for service that is literally a phone call or email away with response within a half hour, this is the company you are looking for. Payroll Solutions was recommended by another business owner when I told them I was feeling like "a number" with Paychex. You will never feel like a "number" with Payroll Solutions, and you will love their team.

Before finding out about Jessica, I called up all these other tax agencies and spoke with people that didn't sound like they really knew what they were talking about and many times gave me conflicting information. When I spoke with Jessica, she was able to give me good answers to my questions that I was able to understand, and also gave me great suggestions for my business! I called her probably about 3 times during those first few weeks, and was worried she would get annoyed with my questions, but she never did and always seemeed happy to hear from me. She helped me out with my state taxes, which literally, took maybe 2 minutes to complete. Wow! Talk about fast in-and-out service. I was also really impressed with how neat and clean her office was, and how she could pull up answers to question in minutes either on her computer or in some manuals she had. That last tax professional I saw about 10 years ago, had paperwork splattered everywhere, and had clients constantly going in & out of a very tiny office, where everyone could hear your personal information. I was so horrified by that experience & the fact that person bungled up my taxes, that it took me 10 years to go see another tax professional. I feel so lucky that I finally found Jessica, who I am totally confident in her ability to do my taxes properly and that I will get the best deduction I can get with her help. She just recently helped me with my federal taxes and again, it was smooth sailing. I was in & out in about an hour (unbeatable!), her fees are very reasonable, and I would highly recommend her to any of my friends. Getting an appointment is quick and easy, and you can also reach her either by phone or email, whichever is your preferred method of communication.

I received wonderful, caring, accurate, financial help from James Fritz CPA…read more My last tax return was done at Waterfront CPA Group after being treated very rudely by a crotchety, old scheduler for H & R Block. Despite being an H&R customer for more than a decade, I was treated like a giant pain when I asked for the specific tax preparer who'd done my taxes the year before. But now I am grateful to that rude old goat because I contacted Waterfront to do them instead. I was able to get an almost immediate appointment with a professional who was friendly and helpful. The taxes were done in less than an hour, by a CPA (rather than simply a "tax preparer.") He accessed every legal deduction and gave me solid advice for next year. I can't believe I've been going to H and R Block for years, getting just adequate service, sometimes grudgingly. James Fritz, in the Silverdale office quickly did my taxes, saved me money, and then charged HALF of what H&R Block has been charging me! My taxes were the same difficulty, the same number of schedules and forms, as every previous year. But now, they were done by a CPA for half the cost! In the future, I will be certain to go to Waterfront CPA group for all of my tax and financial needs.

(to my fault I should have reviewed their work but that's why I hired them so I didn't have to) well turns out they completely left off a W2 and I owed more in taxes. the IRS hit me with a roughly 1,000 dollar penalty which they "paid" by doing my taxes this year free and refunding my 2021 tax fee. but because of their error I was responsible for a 470 dollar interest fee that they would not cover. so be prepared to review all of their work. if an error happens regardless If it was their fault, you will be responsible for the interest owed because of their error in addition to the tax you owe. I told them I would not have incurred the interest because I would have paid my full tax bill had it been prepared correctly, but they said that was policy. So unless they correct this policy I would look elsewhere for a more reputable company that takes responsibility for errors of their service. Respectfully I typically do not write reviews but because their error cost me an additional cost of almost 500 dollars and the IRS headache I was not a satisfied customer.

I had to introduce myself to my bookkeeper, weeks after I was told who it would be. Weeks would pass, and I'd look up, from my extremely busy business (there's a reason I need a bookkeeper!), and no word from anyone at this firm. I really hate having to babysit adults. That's what I was constantly doing with Clear Accounting. I laid out my discontent to them about lack of communications and output, and said I had 2 reasonable expectations - timely communications and reporting. But then the same thing happened. Since last Dec. I received one report from them - ONE - which they extracted from data they imported from my previous firm, and sputtered around with two different bookkeepers. I left them mid-May 2020, and the firm I went to communicated with me more in 2 days, then Clear Accounting did in 6 mos. That is not an exaggeration. When I asked for a few months refund back, I was told some explanation about how they had worked "X" number of hours on my account.....Yeah, right. They get the autopay setup, and that happens like clockwork. Nothing else about this firm is that way.
