This will be a long review, so TLDR: if you value honesty, integrity, organization, accuracy,…read more personalized tax guidance, and good customer service, DO NOT use Smeed CPA for their tax services. I unfortunately did not give much weight to the negative reviews I saw of them, and have now paid the price with my money, time, energy, and sanity. When my husband and I agreed to work with Smeed, we thought we were getting CPAs that we could trust and would help us navigate this complicated tax system as new business owners. Unfortunately, they turned out to be dishonest, not honoring promises made when we signed up, disorganized in planning our meetings and tax returns, and did not provide good tax advice for the stage we were at in our businesses, recommending we do an S-Election when we weren't even profitable yet (luckily, due to their disorganization, the documents were never actually filed). They didn't truly understand our businesses, or at the very least, greatly oversimplified them, and seemed to offer a one size fits all solution for tax planning. Not to mention, they are very unresponsive to email communications, which required us to reach out several times and in some instances having to call before we got a response. This entire experience was a nightmare that was dragged out for entirely too long. Our 2021 tax return was not completed until January 2023, and that was only after me getting fed up and letting them know I'd be doing a chargeback on my credit card if they did not complete our returns. Then they had the nerve to push the blame on us and our bookkeeping, when we were looking to their guidance all year and doing what they told us to do as our CPAs. They knew we were new business owners. They took it upon themselves to recommend entity types, all kinds of documents and meeting minutes we should keep and notarize, getting hotel event space quotes, but apparently ensuring we had proper bookkeeping was out of scope? They didn't even let us know what documents they would need from us for tax filing until it was tax filing time, leaving us scrambling, and all the other documents they had us working on all year turned out to be irrelevant and a waste of time. Fast forward to filing our 2022 tax return, we have found a CPA who actually cares enough to fully understand our tax situation and they have found multiple glaring issues with our 2021 return, requiring us to do an amendment. Smeed preaches education, which is what drew us to them as new business owners, but they are not educating you on information specific to your situation, just general tax loopholes. All in all, highly DO NOT RECOMMEND. They did not provide the support and guidance expected of a CPA, and we ultimately overpaid for an INCORRECT personal tax return.

I paid $2,000 and Ron didn't finish the job!…read more As a new small business owner (4years) my taxes were more complicated than an individual and when we ran into a problem, Ron wasn't knowledgeable enough to handle it. I had to consult with another tax specialist which brought a new solution to the table. I had already paid Ron $2,000 to prepare my taxes. I was open to hiring the new consultant to work with Ron to help him file my taxes properly but he arrogantly refused. Now I'm left with tax returns Ron prepared that cannot be filled, so the only option now is to hire another tax preparer to redo everything I had already paid Ron to do. If you're a small business owner looking to qualify for a home mortgage loan in the near future, these tax services may not be for you. I understood my situation was complicated but $2,000 were paid and I'm literally back to ground zero. Ron obviously disagreed and told me that he worked to prepare my taxes and that was his job which he accomplished. These corporate tax returns were not accepted by the IRS so I don't understand the value he provided, It literally feels like I've been robbed.
