I did my taxes with Maya around March of 2020 for the year 2019, and I also asked them to fix an…read moreissue with the IRS because they kept sending me letters stating that I owed money for 2018. I knew there was something wrong because that year I barely made 35k and still, I got discounted Federal and State taxes like crazy on my paychecks throughout 2018. In like around 30-45 minutes, after I brought all the paperwork Maya asked for, they filed 2019 and re-filed 2018. Today, I got a letter from the IRS finally giving the money they retained back! 3K (See picture attached)! This was the best news I have received since 2021 started.

I own a small winery, and the bookkeeping began to consume an inordinate amount of ownership's time. Accountix was able to get up to speed very quickly with our finances and take the burden off so my partner and I could focus on growing the business. They have numerous services that may or may not apply to every business, and we agreed to a package that fit within our budget and gave us confidence in our bookkeeping and financial reporting. Highly recommend!

I'm another satisfied customer of Michael and Tax Rabbi…read more They've been doing my taxes for several years and always have done a wonderful job. If I have tax questions Michael answers them with knowledge. I've had to file extensions which they've handled appropriately (and yes, that hasn't always been the case with prior tax accountants). Overall I wish there was something else I could hire them for because they're exactly the kind of company I enjoy working with.

I went to Mark Pasternak for advice and assistance with accounting and taxes for a newly formed,…read moresmall business. Mark spent approximately 30 minutes with me, explaining how various expenses should be recorded in Quickbooks. Afterward, he sent me home with a list of documents he would need to file my taxes. I provided Mark with what he needed via email and he did not respond. I sent several follow-up emails asking if he could move forward with helping with our taxes. Mark NEVER responded. Once I realized that Mark would not be helpful, I requested TWICE that he return my documents I provided in our first meeting and he still NEVER RESPONDED. I see that his website is still running so I assume he is still running a business. His lack of communication with me is pathetic. I have taken my business to McGowan and Guntermann and they have been outstanding. I happily pay my accounting and tax bills to McGowan and Gunterman, not Mark Pasternak.

They seem MUCH more helpful.

Told Ken that was too excessive and would be going elsewhere next year. He said he understood, and that he was losing a lot of his customers. I've since retired and had to go to Ken for a previous business year adjustment that he was familiar with. He said the new owners realized they were losing customers and adjusted their pricing. So, I decided to go back for my retirement taxes, Ken knows his stuff. Well, they went back to their old pricing. I was charged me nearly double from the previous year. They won't see me again.
