Gerry Ray knows everything and is an impressive consultant for taxes, business structures, and mergers and acquisitions. I have leaned on him for advice during critical phases of growing my business and dealing with partnerships and changing business structures. A great company with great people.

When we had relatively easy taxes to file, they were great; offered excellent personal attention…read moreand did our taxes quickly and efficiently. But when our taxes become more complex--many more deductions and having to pay quarterly state and federal taxes as independent contractors, they were not up for the job--didn't return phone calls, and took weeks to file out taxes which needed to be redone. We ended up having to pay a more specialized tax preparer to straighten out what became an expensive mess. If you need a bookkeeping/simple tax preparation business, this is an excellent choice for you. But if your taxes are more difficult, pay the extra money for an accounting firm. The one we chose even had financial advisors who helped us choose the best way for us to keep inflation for eating up our savings, with no addition cost for the service.

I was so surprised to see the negative reviews that I had to stop and complete my own. We have…read morebeen using both the accounting side and the investment side for about 20 years now. For a number of reasons, our taxes as a married couple filing jointly are complicated, and the charges have never been more than absolutely fair. The advice Mike has given us over the years has been invaluable. We trust him down to our cores. He has become a true friend. He has supported us in times of family tragedy and celebrated with us in the happy times, both personal and financial. He is funny, caring, compassionate, and an excellent accountant! The office staff has always been responsive and courteous, down to an individual. On the investing side, we couldn't be happier. Suffice it to say that even in the 2008 and recent downturns, we have had complete confidence, which I'll add has proven to be well-founded. Scott and Brandon take excellent care of us. They are patient, but realistic about our investing needs as we get nearer to retirement age. They care about us, even though we're not high rollers, and give us time and attention as if we were. I'm sorry to read that Bob and Peter had bad experiences. All I can say is that their stories are completely foreign to anything we have ever encountered at Hayashi and Wayland.

Did my tax preparing via a couple of emails and uploading of my tax docs to a portal online.

Recommend these folks and will use again.

We are a VERY small client for these guys, and they ALWAYS treat us like a premier clients. Their customer service is absolutely top shelf, they respond quickly and really go the extra mile to make sure they have met your needs. They even take phone calls directly from our employees who have questions about coverage, qualifying events, etc, which is rare in my experience. Even during their busy season when they are super overwhelmed they respond the same day, and continue to go the extra mile. I would recommend these guys to ANYONE! Thank you Juan, Charity, and the whole Leavitt team for your hard work and great service!
