I honestly do not know what Dmitry P. did - but I'm sure no accountant can get someone put in jail for something they did not do. Kostka Taylor accountants are compilers - they do not review, nor do they audit. So they simply put in financial statement format, what their clients tell to them. For the tax returns, I feel they go above and beyond to ensure that their clients understand the tax process and not just merely drop off a return and pick up a completed with form with no idea how the numbers came together. Please revisit your review Dmitry. I doubt it is well-informed.

They can submit your taxes electronically which is always good for getting your return completed quickly. They build strong relationships their clients so you don't feel like you are getting your taxes done by a stranger. They take the time to explain the laws to you and they don't make you wait past your appointment time even during "tax season". They are definitely reasonably priced and they do everything possible to remind you what you can and cannot write off. If I was forced to find another firm,I would find it very difficult because I trust them and know they go out of their way to give accurate advice.

Smolin Lupin...Very disappointing and expensive experience…read more For many years my business used Smolin for accounting purposes and had no issues. Following a merger I had no choice but to use a different accounting firm, but I continued to use Smolin for our personal tax preparation. I had no problems for a number of years until somewhat surreptitiously, my senior accountant handed me off to a junior accountant. The young man was nice enough, but as it turned out, lacking in experience and competence. He made several cardinal errors, including forgetting to account for our dependent child as a deduction, and even more importantly, despite the fact that I am very careful about avoiding any tax liability at the end of the year by carefully paying quarterly estimates, he miscalculated estimates to the extent that I had to pay a major federal penalty with substantial interest as well. Smolin is not inexpensive, and we don't mind paying for quality, competent accounting but this was anything but. We decided that it was time to seek accounting consultation elsewhere and haven't looked back.
