I needed an expert on filing an estate tax return where IRS & the Register of Wills in MD had me panicking with misinformation! Foreign beneficiaries who were friends of the deceased were at issue & I was a family member & executor but still a babe in the woods slogging along. Oh what a splendid relief to consult with an expert at Sherwood Associates! I had a very pleasant experience for a very reasonable price. Ms. L explained everything, prepared the tax return for me & I was profoundly grateful! The offices are located in an old Wheaton building with its own parking lot in a convenient location. read more

We've been working with Neal for our taxes over the past few years. He has given us guidance, helped us tie up all the loose ends and been great to work with! read more

Absolutely awful. Unprofessional, filed taxes late with tons of excuses but no discount (even though THEY caused the delay), incredibly expensive, and rude. It's a family business, so there's no accountability - they just all protect each other. Avoid them at all costs! read more

They will do things behind your back without notifying you. -Unethical -borderline illegal -disrespectful to your family and children(Legacies) Let me preface this I have no problem paying $$$. Its the violation of principal I take issue with I would have just like the respect and common courtesy/decency to have been told that this is what they were planning on doing before the fact rather than after. I was lulled into a false sense of security. Story below PLEASE READ! THIS WILL SAVE YOU A LOT OF HEADACHE ! This is a warning to newcomers and to everyone who thinks there business is worthy of 4-5 stars. my parents have been doing business with them for well over 20 years. and when I was young close to 18 and starting out life as an adult I was included within my parents taxes And Sherwood was wonderful. Operative word "was". Flashforward to present day for 2019 tax season I am now 25 and my stepfather had past away. And so my mother and I went to Sherwood to have our taxes resolved. We were under the impression that I was being filed with my mom as that's what has happened every year. So my mom received a bill for $300 the second week of April for the services rendered in the beginning of April. We thought the $300 bill covered both my mom and I. However, In May(at the very end of May) I received a bill for a $100. I called Sherwood wondering why I was being billed. ended up receiving a phone call back 2 days later. Saying that "they decided to file me separately from my mom." I then asked "why wasn't I informed about this change before we used Sherwood? Why was I not notified about how much the service was going to cost me ahead of time? Why am I being billed a month later?" They couldn't justify there shortcomings rather they kept repeating the same thing over to me. The man at the phone board said " once you're an adult we bill you separately." Then he said " we could send the bill to your mom for $100 if that's better but someone has to pay."and then proceeded to say "we bill monthly and that's why you received a bill in May." and then I told him "I don't think you understand what I am telling/asking you... Its very disrespectful, unethical, and borderline illegal to file and bill someone without their knowledge, after the fact. no one gave us the common courtesy to even tell me what my upfront cost was going to be before using your services. There was no notification or acknowledgement or indication that we were being filed separately. otherwise I would have been more than happy to pay the $100. Its even more disrespectful to be told that I owe you money almost a little over 2 months have passed and then to not even be told what my upfront cost was going to be." There was no apology rather he said either you pay the money or find yourself a different accountant. Again, I have no problem paying $100 I have no problem filing separately from my parents. Its the violation of principal I take issue with I would have just liked the respect and common courtesy/decency to have been told that this is what they were planning on doing before the fact rather than after. I was lulled into a false sense of security These are the people you are dealing with: They dont care about your business They dont care about the legacy you and your family have with them They dont care about principle or ethics You are just another dollar to them...And they will bark and hound until they get what they need from you. ever since the son took over the biz its been going down the toilet. These people do not even deserve a star. These people do not desrve YOU! #SayNoToSherwoodAssociatesIncFor2020 read more

The worst first impression I've gotten from a company in a longgggggg time. I entered the old time vaudeville firm in the 60 year old building that my associate actually went back to engage with from working with previous more reputable firms. She says we are not interested. I exit left. How does a CPA operate like that taking on new clients? Help me out here. :) Baffled read more

Debbie and her staff provide reliable, reasonable prices and family atmosphere to all your tax, estate and financial planning needs.

These folks are smart and civilized in the way they conduct their business. Prices are very fair. Highly recommended. They've been doing my taxes for years. read more

We've been using Sherwood (specifically, Linda) for our annual tax preparation for many years (maybe the last 5 years?). They are super accommodating and easy to work with and I have zero complaints when it comes to their competency. Yes, their office space is 'no frills', but does anyone really need a flashy accountant? We now also use them for nanny tax coordination (using Jen Alderton) and love that they just tell me what to do. So easy. Email communication is also a big plus! They are affordable, efficient, and accommodating. What more could you ask for? read more

I have been going to them for my taxes for years and they are always prompt, courteous and efficient! I wouldn't go anywhere else.

A great group! I was referred to Woody Willey and Glenda Li from a friend that used Sherwood Associates for years. Woody and Glenda are experts and they charge a very reasonable fee. I used other accountants in the past that charged double and didn't get me half the deductions. I highly recommend Sherwood Associates. read more
