After reading Sumeet's Yelp reviews, I had such high hopes. Unfortunately, she has trouble…read moreresponding to prospective clients. My fiancé called and left a voicemail message, which she did not respond to. He called the next day, and she answered and said that she thought she had returned all of her calls. She told him that the best way to reach her was via email. So he conferred with me about scheduling an appointment with her, and then sent her an email. Here we are four days later, and nothing. So frustrating!

Sumeet was bright and very knowledgeable when we finally spoke on the phone. I was looking forward…read moreto working with her, however, she never called back or responded to my email after our initial conversation. Her prices were comparable to others but I wasted time trying to reach her by phone (it took 2 tries) and ultimately I had to find another CPA.

Ryan is extremely knowledgeable and always presents information that neither my wife nor I have thought of when it comes to our finances. I would highly recommend him and his associates for your accounting needs.

I used Blume when he was employed in Moss Adam (the arrangement was that another CPA prepares it…read moreand Blume files it, and Blume left Moss Adam before he did the filing). He sounds like a confident and skillful CPA, and is nice to talk to. But when I asked him specific tax planning questions, sometimes he gave very general or very vague answers that are not very helpful. There were wrong answers too that I found out in my own followup research. Advise those who wants to work with him do a thorough interview and ask concrete questions about your specific situation, to make sure he can handle them well. That said, my tax situation had some extra considerations that may not be the case for others.

After four years of trusting Bob with my personal taxes, it seems like making a simple inclusion to…read morehis calendar to take care of my business is too much work. He was reasonably priced, poorly communicative and did a professional job before he took the axe to my business and is forcing me to find another resource for my business and my personal taxes. Though 10 months ago when he did my taxes I would be willing to say "This guy's alright, do business here." today is a completely different story. My recommendation, before you take on this tax man, know that he is a very one-track-mind individual and though he seems to care about you, if you call him out on his credibility, or lack there-of, he won't hesitate to leave you stranded when you need it most.

If you are looking for integrity and excellent representation AVOID this Tax Service. I was…read moresolicited by this company last February 2012 in response to an internet search for help with a Tax Audit. I was assured that I would be excellently represented for the sum of $3500 (in advance of the service being completed.) I took all docs and receipts to him and explained that I travel extensively for my business and really needed someone that I could depend on. I also explained, that the retail docs were a bit disorganized, which he immediately assured me was of no concern and upon seeing, stated he had seen "much worse". We got along great initially. So great that I asked my partner to also work with him. As a result she sent STS her very organized docs. However, ultimately, he allowed the mandated Audit hard dates to pass after he assured me numerous times that he was taking care of everything. This resulted in large fines and penalties. After terminating STS, I was able to work personally with the tax auditor. Errors, resulting in wrongful tax amounts due, were reduced by over 33% ( which STS had indicated was not possible). However, the resulting fines that were leveled as a result of a missed hard date while I was traveling, were not removed. It was agreed that the tax accountant involved (STS) was not very knowledgeable and had been very "cavalier" in his care of my case. Security Tax Service did provide organizational assistance and the staff was friendly and cooperative otherwise, however, the key player, although initially friendly and affable, became condescending, sarcastic and ultimately shrugged responsibility causing financial damage and extreme stress. My files were completely dumped out of their file folders and mixed up, causing hours of re-organization. In over 30 years of experience as a successful business woman, I have never been treated in this manner.

When I called today, (Nikki) yelled at me over the phone saying that if I come in to their office they will have me removed from their office. When I asked why she was so defensive and why they are being so elusive over a normal business issue, she became irate. When I asked for someone else that can help me over the phone, she was again very defensive stating that they can't help us and can only respond to emails but don't know when someone will be able to get back to us. Whatever you do, do not use this company for your taxes. I was appalled at the level of unprofessional and condescending tone over the phone and lack of customer service.

Horrible service. My wife had our return prepared here, and they didn't give her a copy. I called…read moreand asked them to mail a copy and three weeks passed without it arriving. I then stopped by their office on a Thursday to pick up a copy and was told that I couldn't get one that day because there was only one person in the office. I asked if I could come back the next day and was told that it wasn't possible to have a copy ready (of documents that had already been prepared) in that amount of time, and that they might be able to get one ready by Monday. After paying almost $300 for the preparation of a relatively simple tax return I've been left with no copy of the return, no confirmation that the IRS received it (let alone accepted it) and no fixed time for when they will have a copy ready for us. Stay away from this place at all costs if you care about good record keeping, customer service or fiduciary responsibility.
