His clients stick with him (I've known him since I was born, man) because he's an obsessive perfectionist with the driest sense of humor going in tax professionals. I hope Glen lives forever - or is at least training a protege to be his clone - because I never want to wonder if the person handling my taxes is lazy, dumb or dishonest. Even if I moved to Tibet I'd still trek to the nearest internet cafe to e-sign my return every year - they even set it up for direct deposit into your account, if you score a refund. Glen also specializes in business taxes and investments; I have not required these services yet but my family members are loyal clients. I've never visited the actual office, but in many phone calls, everyone has always been helpful, friendly, and above all, expedient. If you call and have a question, things happen right away. This whole business is a real gem and I value them highly. Five shiny stars and a baller bottle of whiskey to Glen Auwarter, CPA!

I knew the Gertie family, and when I heard that he was given a hard time by the Cinnaminson Zoning…read moreBoard in refitting an old bank building as his office, probably because his sister used to go to the town council meetings and harangue them over their spending, I felt sorry for him and hired him as my CPA. Things went well between us for the first two years. I called or visited him a couple of times --- I emphasize only A COUPLE --- during each of the tax seasons with questions, and he was generous with his time, not charging me extra for such questions (as he shouldn't. I was PAYING him.). However, the next year, in sitting down with him after dropping off my info, I made an offhand remark of the general state of the unfairness of the tax laws, how rich people had armies of lawyers and accountants to end up paying less than I did on my simple return. He then fixed me with a beady stare and said, "Yeah. All YOU got is ME." Hoo boy. I meant no disrespect to his abilities. I just didn't have any loopholes or deductions for him or any accountant or tax lawyer to hide my income or dividends like a rich person. It was just an observation. About a month later I got a bill from him for $150 for the two times I called/ visited him with questions. The next year, looking over the Federal forms, I saw that the Trump Treasury Department had greatly simplified the 1040, so I decided to do that form myself. The NJ form however, was unchanged in its rules. I called Mr. Gertie and asked if he would just do the NJ form. As sourly as he could, he said, "No. If you hire us, you're not going to piecemeal your tax forms. It's either both or nothing." There was no, 'I'm sorry, I really do that, because ...' or any other explanation why he wouldn't or couldn't just do the NJ form. So I did them both myself. And the next year, I went to another accounting firm --- who charged me $100 LESS than Gertie did to prepare my return. Last year I received a notice from the state saying that I owed $500 + extra taxes and $100+ interest penalty from that year he got angry with me when I mentioned the "armies of lawyers and accountants." I brought the forms Gertie had signed off on to my new accountant, who quickly noted that Gertie had entered a wrong --- too low --- income figure from my W-2. He suggested that I call Gertie and see if he'd pay the interest charge, as most firms do when they make a mistake on a client's tax form. I waited for a week after April 15 of this year to call, figuring he'd be very busy up to that day and needed a week to decompress. I was right about the latter; his minion told me old Ken had taken that week off, but that he'd be given my message. I waited 'til the next week. No call from his office. I called once again, and got another assurance that he would be told that I called, and that "Ken" was "in a meeting". I waited another week. No call. I called once more, and was told Gertie would be notified. This was a simple request to make good on a simple math mistake by Ken Gertie, CPA. This time, I waited one day, then called again. His person told me Ken would get my message. About a half hour later Gertie himself finally called. He said, "I can't do anything for you." I said, "You mean you won't pay the interest charge?" He said, "No. You had the the use of that money all this time (Strange logic, huh? But I ALSO didn't want to be charged 25% rent for that money by Gov. Murphy, thanks to Mr. Gertie's incompetence.). And you called during the busiest time of the year." I wasn't sure if he meant when I was his client or the five times I called in four weeks after this past April 15. But even though taxes under covid rules could be filed up 'til May 15 Mr. Gertie wasn't SO busy that he couldn't take off for a week "during the busiest time of year." And I'm not allowed a couple of questions each tax season, about MY taxes, and the fact that I was or had been PAYING him? He went on to say, "I should've charged you for the time for all the questions you asked (I asked about six questions --- maybe --- over three years.)" I replied, "But you did charge me!" He cut me off, saying, "Yeah, well, I didn't charge you enough! Have a nice day." I tried to say, "But YOU made the mistake!", but all I heard was "Click." I had hoped that Mr. Gertie would've made the honorable gesture, reimbursing me for his error, and I was prepared to leave an at least neutral review, but he chose a path that most other CPA's apparently will not ethically do to a customer, past or present.

Would not recommend after meeting with Tara M. For my 2023…read moretax return Rose was great to work with, where she explained things in detail. Value was comparable to other accountants. Though I had many recommendations and referrals for other accountants, I chose to work with Rose because I chose to specifically support a woman and minority owned business. One piece of advice from Erin Benzakein from Floret about hiring a bookkeeper and accountant was that if you feel dumb or awful after meeting with either, then it's time for you to hire a new accountant/bookkeeper. I was having a hard time managing my own bookkeeping and was inquiring about this service. I met with Tara and she was condescending, defensive, and was gaslighting me when I started crying on the call after she went on a diatribe about the importance of bookkeeping. I also disagreed with her statement that "Bookkeeping is the backbone of your business." Unfortunately, Rose was also on the call and there wasn't any intervention. I would recommend Rose Brown only if you were just working with her and Darin, but would stay away if you are on a call with Tara.

I thought I was doing the right thing to contact them letting them know that a letter marked confidential was delivered to my home for someone who lives in my neighborhood. I actually emailed the receptionist, who was very polite and professional my first and last name, my address and email. She asked for my phone number and I gave it. I asked her to contact their client letting them know their mail was at my home. I offered that since putting it back in the mail would delay them getting their mail. Not hearing from them, I called and this woman, Kathy O'Malley, who in any opinion is a total lunatic got on the phone and declared war telling me to shut up. WOW. I tried explaining to her, but she got psycho. Told me she doesn't trust me and that I refused to give the mail to the post office. If she does, she will face legal consequences, because that is a felony to not give someone their mail. Mind you all I did was offer to have them ask their client to get it from me so it doesn't get misdelivered or delayed. Well I returned it to sender. She actually emailed me that the client also does not "trust " me with their mail. I took a picture of the mail and sent to them so they can inform the Post Office of this misdelivered mail. So much for doing the right thing on my time. If you are considering having this lunatic trusted with your finances. I would think again. Not one of my neighbors, all professional, including my own accountant of 24 years can imagine her actions. Totally disrespected me and was rude and nasty and verbally abusive. This is not a woman you would want to hold accountable if you were not happy with her services. I am writing this as it shows the true character of this woman.
