This is a long-awaited and well-deserved 5-star review. I run a business that expanded by leaps and bounds over the years. The journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster, and Greg and his team have been along for the ride in every way. My *favorite* part of Scotto-Melchiorre is the timely reports. The first week of every month, I can rely on Greg to schedule a meeting detailing how the business is performing. He gives a tremendous amount of insight with this reporting and allows me to carefully plan my next steps in developing and running the business. His accuracy is everything and these reports are the highlight of my month. Most recently, my business received not one but two rounds of PPP money to carry on. I was even approved for a PPP loan ahead of my building's landlord, making him jealous. What's interesting is that many business owners I know didn't apply for PPP loans, and even more didn't apply for the second round, but Greg and his team made sure my company applied for both and received both. Around March 2021, Greg informed me of ERC credit which another CPA knew nothing about. Greg not only knew everything about the credit, but he secured it on my company's behalf. He not only knows but also executes. I could go on and on. Greg even used his professional network to ensure I had a seamless mortgage application after I initially chose the wrong lender. He did not need to go out of his way to do that, but he did. Choosing a CPA is probably the most important business decision an entrepreneur will ever make. Greg and his firm are extremely knowledgeable. I give them 5 well-deserved stars. read more

Wesley & Greg are incredible. Working in the hospitality industry (restaurants specifically) for over 20 years I've seen so many shady accountants and accounting procedures. If you were to write an honest report of why those businesses fail I'm sure that poor accounting practices would rank at the top, whether it's managing cash flow, budgeting or the all important tax issues with paying sales tax on time and properly filing tax returns. You can't just trust that to anyone as people wake up one day owing so much money that the IRS seizes their account and that's the end. As a multiple restaurant owner I have changed accountants 2 times before finding Wesley & Greg. I can say that they have helped us significantly in a few crunch situations over the years that have honestly made all the difference in how our business operates. They're always available and are constantly pushing the bounds of technology to increase access to data and analysis to better serve us. And their team is top notch, with David being my favorite, but everyone in the office is always kind and receptive. When you have financial issues with the bank or a vendor payment that wasn't received and now they won't deliver or an issue with a gas or electric company you can't wait days or play phone tag just to catch up to your accountants. These guys are on it all the way! I can't recommend them more highly. read more

Listen, no one likes doing their taxes, but when you have someone you can trust to do the right thing by you, it makes it a whole lot easier! That's what Scotto & Melchiorre Group did for us. My husband and I had a bit of a tricky return the past few years, and Greg Scotto did a great job with no problems handling it. He, his partner Wesley Melchiorre, and all the tax professionals at SMG are 100% current in their knowledge of the latest tax laws, and will take the time to answer any questions you may have. The office is clean, the staff is super friendly, and we felt welcome the moment we walked in. They were also very efficient in their communication with us after we left. Whether through email or by phone, we never had to wait for them to respond. All in all a great experience, and we will continue to use SMG for years to come!! read more

The team at Scotto & Melchiorre is fantastic! We've had nothing but great experiences with their entire staff. It's been several years since we brought them on to be our company's accounting firm. Let me tell you, I don't know what we would do without them. They're far more to us than just the folks who do our taxes. Our primary advisor, David, is basically family at this point in the way he expresses care for us and our company. They are hands on in our business and have provided a level of expertise, knowledge, and advice that has really helped us improve our company's performance. There's no need for you to look for another firm. They're the best! read more

I have been through four previous accountants in the past six years and none have provided the service, dedication, and knowledge that Greg Scotto has. His attention to detail and expertise in the field of business management and real estate tax law is unmatched by any other professional in the industry. Greg also helped me through a rigorous audit with the IRS from 2008 which he was able to significantly reduce the tax burden. Scotto Management Services handles the payroll and filings for all six of my companies including personal family returns; I wouldn't have it any other way. Keep up the great work! - Jonathan D. read more

This firm is really savvy. Their skills are above and beyond to help you in all areas of tax. You will pay for this at a premium. I highly recommend them However there us much to be said about going over your return. I need some detailed help with planning for the following year and that is not part of their service. You just get an email with little explanations And we are alway on an extention. We are small business and I am guessing not a priority. If you need quick books done the price is extremely high. Glad to have them but really need more for my humble little business. read more

I've used Greg and team for the last 5+ years and been extremely pleased. Not only have I gotten much more back in tax refunds than ever before, but Greg is a GREAT BUSINESS COUNCILOR as well. He was instrumental in the growth of my businesses. Greg is intelligent, very savvy and also very personable- which is a rare combination for a CPA. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Greg and team for any accounting task big or small. Truly AWESOME!!! read more

I have been through several other accounting and advisement firms. I have found Gregory Scotto to be the best accountant/advisor that I have met yet. I own several businesses and properties and have a complicated financial situation that he easily understood from our first meeting. They help me to keep everything organized, properly maintained and planned for the future better than I have ever experienced with another firm. read more

I recently started working with Greg because I wanted to be better informed on tax laws and credits. I was not disappointed. He is very detail-oriented, knowledgeable and keeps abreast of all the new laws related to taxes. Email/phone call response time is very quick. Not only does he help with taxes but genuinely cares how my business does and is willing to give suggestions to make it run more efficiently and grow. read more

My bar/restaurant business used SMG twice to do Employee Retention Credit (ERC) analyses. They were terrific. Sharp, accurate, knowledgeable and, just as important, very responsive when we needed to know how the ERCs impacted other programs and how to structure our forgiveness applications. We simply didn't have the time to do everything ourselves and SMG really came through. Highly recommended! read more

We love working with Scotto and Melchiorre! After years of having less than ideal accountants we are now happy to say we have an amazing one. They are always helpful, attentive, and responsive. Furthermore they are constantly seeking out ways to help their clients and keep us informed about new programs and opportunities. We appreciate you guys! Always a pleasure to work with you. read more

I am so grateful I went to see Greg at Scotto & Melchiorre Group. It was short and sweet and I felt confident he took care of my families taxes the best way he could have.

My husband and I both run our own companies -- we have had several other accounting firms and they have all been a great disappointment.

We highly recommend them. read more
