Not only is Tim well versed in tax laws and ethical accounting practices but his experience and genuine care for his clients is unmatched. You can hire anyone to do your taxes, bookkeeping, payroll, and HR support... but you will not find an accountant you will take the time to get to know your business, review your current needs, openly discuss potential solutions (with cons and pros), explain how things work, and teach you how to implement the process. Five stars is simply not a fair and accurate measure for Burgess and Associates because they go above and beyond. We were very lucky to find Tim when we did and we enjoy the collaborative business relationship we've established with Tim and his team.

I Only put a 1 to be able to warn you all what Jim F. The President/Owner of Anchor Tax Relief in…read moreChesapeake, VA did to me. At the time he told me he could help me and communicate to IRS on my behave about my situation so I paid him $750.00 as per his word. Well, he did not help me one bit as promised, he never talked to them, as I had to go somewhere else and pay them too to help me. He refused to give me my money back or any portion of it as I only had a very brief phone call with him maybe 3 minutes to be exact. Not worth $750.00 for 3 minutes of anyone's time. He wouldn't even give me an itemized statement of my money and where and what is what used for I gave him. He gave me no records of my file and what was done. Ya'll need to run somewhere else right now. I feel he took big time advantage of me I'm a retiree senior citizen living on a senior budget and he knew it too. Very surprising to me he could treat me or anyone like this. My opinion he doesn't deserve your business and it's all about the money, well, he'll never get mine or my family & friends and hopefully your's ever again. I'm thankful I have this platform to report the theft I encountered in my situation with Jim F. He never wanted to talk to me about this except to tell me he wasn't giving my money back. Wow so upsetting and disturbing that my retirement monthly pension had to go to him. Shame on you Jim F. You all Please go elsewhere, if he can do this to a Senior citizen with no remorse he can do it to you. Tax season will be here soon. I'd sure go somewhere else. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I try to point out the fraud I got to everyone to help them. Think about it do you really want to support someone like this? It's a big fat NO!!! To me.
