Update: Jeremy Reynolds has now placed a false review on our business page in retaliation to our…read morehonest review. I have reported it to Yelp and will now be including it in our lawsuit as it is retaliatory, misleading, damaging, false as he was never our client and defamation/slander. Further defining his horrible tactics and bullying measures and lack of accountability! We hired and paid Jeremy to file an extension, prepare, and submit our taxes by the deadline. We finalized everything on time, paid our Arizona taxes in full on 10/15 as directed, and even tipped him -- trusting the job was done. Weeks later, we got hit with over $1,000 in IRS penalties, and Arizona fined us too. After calling the IRS, we learned our return wasn't filed until well after the deadline -- with zero notice. When confronted, he deflected, blamed unrelated things, and only admitted the truth after we pushed -- still without taking responsibility. It felt like he exploited our trust and tried to spin the situation to avoid owning his failure. This wasn't just a mistake. It was a complete disregard for responsibility and professionalism. Anyone who lies by omission and shifts blame shouldn't be handling anyone's taxes. We absolutely do not recommend him. Trust is everything, and he lost ours completely.

Tax preparers have a difficult job and are often overburdened by the quantity of clients and time…read morerestraints for completing their tasks. That being said, expecting a tax preparer to perform their responsibilities in a timeframe they establish should be considered a reasonable expectation. Of course, unforeseen circumstances can arise requiring the tax preparer to extend timeframes for completing their work. However, quality tax professionals recognize the importance of communication with their clients when timeline extensions are needed and use this skill to keep their clients informed and up to date. Unfortunately, Stephanie Ware with Arete Financial And Legal Solutions falls short in this relevant skill. Although she has received multiple positive reviews, she has also received multiple reviews showing a pattern of neglect and contempt for her clients. She repeatedly states she will perform tasks and provide phone calls or email replies within a specified timeframe without doing so. In 2025, she scheduled multiple appointments with me and never had the decency (at the very least) to have someone from her office call and reschedule when she determined she could not keep the appointment. I even sat down with Ted Ashton (one of the owners of Arete Financial And Legal Solutions) and showed him a packet of emails between Stephanie and myself documenting her lack of ability in handling (in a professional manner) my tax preparation. When he stated, "you're not wrong"... and then proceeded to read the multiple reviews I shared showing her inability to satisfy multiple client's tax preparation needs, an apology was all he was able to offer. He stated our discussion would hopefully help to improve the outcome of his business by improving deficiencies that currently exist. Stephanie Ware is a "hit or miss" tax preparer. She has years of experience that comes with a chip on her shoulder. I am writing this review to help expose the public to "real time" factual experiences. I hope to help people avoid the same type of recurring problems Stephanie Ware makes while ensuring the public has reliable information to help make informed decisions about their personal tax preparation needs.

I had an appointment booked with Lydia. The building is in its own space and was easy to find. I walked in and was taken back to Lydias office. She was super friendly and got down to business. I was only in the office for about 20 minutes or so. The price for short form is $90 but if you pay with cash it's $85. I happened to have cash on me so that was nice to save the $5. I will definitely be back next year and already recommended this place to family. Thanks for a quick and painless tax experience!!

The ladies in this office are phenomenal. The week before tax day i was able to get in to discuss my return and start the process. Unlike other CPA's I have used in the past, I was kept informed of the process and related costs so there were no surprises when I picked up my return yesterday. The best part, I have been getting used to paying over $500 per year in federal taxes and this year it was only $90. Thanks again, I'll be telling my friends about this place and I'll be back again next year!
