My husband and I were seeking tax services for the first time ever. He started a small business and we wanted to ensure a maximum return. We do not make a lot of money but we are honest and hardworking people. Our appointment was with Joyce Yarid. We have never before been treated with indignity and disrespect by someone offering professional services. At first Joyce was polite but it seemed as she found out more about our financial situation, she declined us services. That alone would have been fine had she done it in a professional manner but she berated and belittled us. Granted we had had rescheduled the appointment and were cutting it close to tax day, but that didn't warrant her mistreatment of us. We walked away feeling shocked by her reaction and humiliated by the experience. The woman at reception however was kind and treated us like human beings. read more

Do NOT recommend, as of 3/24/21 my tax returns are not complete. Dropped them off in February with Joyce personally. Receptionist Melanie is rude and will not give me any information on status nor will any of my messages be regarded. No email or phone response. read more

I have never had a cpa do my taxes before. Joyce was absolutely amazing. She not only got my taxes done quickly but, also got more money then I have ever gotten in taxes back before. Joyce is a no nonsense/lay it on the table kind of person. Forget turbo tax because I have Joyce. read more

Referred to Tax Advisory Group (Joyce Yarid) by a friend who had had good experiences. Made appointment about 2 weeks in advance, but no instructions to prepare for tax preparation, nor a list of documents, was sent to me. I figured it would be interview style as experienced in past with other tax preparers. When I arrived on time, I waited ~ 8-10 minutes to meet with Joyce. There was a little small talk about the referral, but no discussion about how we were going to work. She asked for my W2s and past year's tax copies. Her tone indicated that she was rushed as she asked for additional numbers from the past year. I had to bring up a number of deductions and questions about investments that she never addressed. And, though I had a spreadsheet, and immediate access via my phone to the numbers needed, it seemed as though I wasn't prepared the way she wanted. Frustrated, she suggested that I just email the remaining numbers to her because I "was wasting time" during tax season and others were waiting. We barely met for 20 minutes. (My previous tax preparer meetings were about an hour.) Shocked. Took my documents back, found someone else. read more
