Do not waste your time or money. Unfortunately, I must change my review. Initially, I thought he…read morewas great with a wonderful long initial conversation. However, I realized he made multiple mistakes that cost me thousands of dollars in my tax return. They were really dumb errors (copying the wrong number over; not including any insurance on my rental costs). The worst part is he wouldn't call or email me back when I was still really nice and asked him. I was actually going to fix the first issue myself but upon the closer look I found the other issue... Perhaps there's more). It would likely take him 10 minutes to fix but now I need to redo the entire return in TurboTax so everything is calculated correctly. The reason we go to a CPA is to do things accurately... He can't even get simple things done right. Don't trust him with your finances.

We had a great experience working with Jon. He's extremely knowledgeable, especially when it comes…read moreto rental property taxes. He took the time to explain things clearly so we actually understood our situation--not just filed it. We trusted him completely throughout the process and felt confident he was looking out for our best interests. He's professional, thorough, and super easy to work with. If you value supporting a local small business and want a real person who knows your taxes far better than any generic tax software, I can't recommend him enough!

Gentry & Associates, CPA

Disappointed with this CPA firm. I initially contacted them for help reducing my taxable income and…read morewas told they could guide me. After submitting all my documents (in two batches), I was later told there was nothing they could do--contradicting what was promised. Their process was disorganized. I received four emails asking for different versions of a file instead of reviewing everything at once and asking for clarifications after. Communication was poor--I was promised multiple callbacks that never happened. When I finally rescheduled an appointment, I expected a phone call and never got one--only to learn they thought it was in person. The front desk is unhelpful and confused, making it hard for existing clients to get support. I was charged $375--much higher than the $275 I usually pay at H&R Block, where I get faster, more professional, and more efficient service. This firm might work for others, but I won't be returning.

From the start, Joe was incredibly responsive to my initial inquiry and got everything moving quickly. My tax situation wasn't simple -- it included multi-state income, a pension, W-2 income, and investment income -- and Joe handled it seamlessly. He completed everything accurately and efficiently, and made the entire process feel straightforward. What really stood out was how clearly he explained key decisions and next steps, which gave me a lot of confidence throughout. He's organized, professional, and easy to work with.

I worked with Trip Farmer on a number of projects over nearly a decade and generally found him…read morereliable in the past. Unfortunately, a recent experience has forced me to reconsider that view. In late 2024, I requested a small task -- a file extension -- which I estimated would take 30 minutes. I asked Trip for a breakdown of the time and charges after receiving an unexpected invoice for $650+. I never received a clear response, despite following up. Months later, he sent a revised invoice for $350 -- again, without my agreement -- and eventually escalated the matter to debt collection charging me $842. To be clear: I made multiple attempts to resolve the dispute directly, including offering to pay for the 30 minutes of work I requested. My messages went unanswered for long stretches, and I was given no explanation for the charges beyond vague references to time spent. Being sent to collections over a disputed charge -- without any willingness to engage -- is not something I take lightly. I've worked with many collaborators over the years and never encountered anything like this. I share this to help others make an informed decision. Work with Trip only if you're comfortable with a lack of communication and the risk of escalation over relatively minor disputes.

I've dealt with a number of accountants over the years and they're a lot like lawyers in that they…read moreare slow to give advice/ definitive answers. Oftentimes, you leave their office wondering if their isn't a better resource and why you pay them. HHM is a breathe of fresh air. Yes, you'll pay a premium rate. But good advice/service comes with a price. If you're looking to get a simple personal tax return done, you can probably pay a small fee elsewhere. But if you are a business owner, have ownership in multiple entities, etc., you really need an expert in your corner (there are too many areas that a lot of CPAs overlook or simply know nothing about). With various partners in the firm, each brings a different area of expertise. I've only dealt with Kyle Christensen to this point. He's very professional, personable (yes, a personable CPA) and will certainly point you to another partner if his expertise doesn't match your needs. I recommend Kyle (and HHM) as often as possible. (Be sure to tell him you read Byron's Yelp review, if this was a factor in calling him).
