We continued to use this company, longer than we should have…read more There was a consultation with the owner who seemed bored with our questions, we got more arrogant attitude than valued information. There were mistakes on our tax returns, that should have been reviewed before forwarding to the IRS. It took 2 to 3 years to resolve the issue and receive compensation. Today, we called to change time of appointment.... The receptionist misheard or deliberately over exaggerated what my husband requested. We then receive a call from owner yelling that we have a choice to apologize to the receptionist or take our business elsewhere, without asking what happened. That was an easy and welcome decision. We usually don't receive such drama and explosive behavior from professionals, we already have a new accountant!

American Video transferred old family videos of my children, from 8 mm tapes to a USB stick. I…read moreuploaded the files to my Google Drive and shared the videos to my kids' Google accounts. What a hit! American Video is a small family owned company. They do not send out tapes to a third party so the chance of a tape being lost is almost zero. When you call the company, instead of getting a call center rep, you get a person involved in the operation of the company, someone who actually cares about the customer. The quality of the video/ audio on the files that I received back was excellent. American Video added labels to the files without being asked, something that the big companies charge extra for. I strongly recommend using American Video for any video transfer needs!

When I called, I left a message. Within 3 minutes, Rob called back and said he was on vacation in ME with his family. But, said he doesn't like to miss any calls. I can't say enough about his work ethic! He was extremely polite, gave me the info I needed and decided to choose them for my dvds. Can't wait until I see the finished product. I know I will be pleased. Thank you again, Rob, for being so professional. I will absolutely recommend American Video to anyone!! Marisa Coughlin

Finally, I decided to discuss my financials and early retirement plans with him and went to see Marshall in his office which is conveniently located off exit 32 (I-495) in Westford. Being a small business owner, I had plenty of questions related to my current and future finances especially if I was to offer any type of benefits to my employees. Marshall explained the differences between different programs and was able to suggest a few options which would work the best for me personally, and for my business. Thanks to Marshall, now I have some idea about IRA, Roth IRA, & 401K. He's got my business and I will highly recommended him to everyone who is looking to plan for the future.

Joe will meet with you and learn all about your business. He acts as an accountant, financial adviser and business consultant all in one! His advice has helped up clean up our back end and finally tackle sales tax and all the other things that made tax time a nightmare in years past! His rates are great, his service is fast and prompt and he is so easy to reach. We really couldn't ask for more. Thank you Joe, for all you do!!

Nakata Consulting is an essential piece of my business life!!…read more But for the rest of this review let's just be on a first name basis and talk about Joe. I would have probably given up the whole self employed business long ago if not for Joe. I found Joe through some other colleagues in the Boston photography network years ago. I'll admit I was more than clueless about how to keep my bookkeeping organized and he took me under his wing, took the chaos and made sense of it all. Now I do most of the bookkeeping on my own and he gives it a look once a month to make sure I'm on track. In a "teach a man to fish...." sort of a way. Monthly, quarterly and annual taxes are a breeze now and I can confidently make business purchases and know the overall health of the business. If you're a small business (he has a keen knowledge of the photography business - take a look at his client list!! http://www.nakataconsulting.org/links.php ), but also for restaurants, etc... He'll do your sales taxes, bookkeeping, consulting and all at reasonable rates. I've referred him to friends (non-business owners) as well and he'll definitely take care of you. So walk right past H&R Block and call Joe!

Each year during tax time I go online to turbo tax or whatever it is called and run my W-2's, 1040's, 1099's etc through only to be disappointed by some number that is conjured by some proverbial magic wand. Naturally I never believe this number the godawful program comes up with. This is where Sechrest & Bloom come in--they work their butts off to make sure I'm getting the most bang for my buck. Sure it's a little more spendy than paying your computer to do the work, but the individualized service, friendly staff, and (of course) the pretty number on my refund check makes it an investment worth making. If you are looking for an accountant who does a top notch job, follows up with you, and remembers your name--this is the accounting firm for you. Bonus points for them for finding me after I was negligent in providing a new e-mail address and phone number.

There is a new manager in charge, Jim, and he and his staff deliver on customer service. I had to set up several accounts in the wake of my father's death, one was a trust account, and with COVID making normal banking nearly impossible, the staff at the Westford branch bent over backwards to help me jump through all of the hoops necessary to get things moving. Give this branch a try!

Their staff is ill-trained, their cashiers wear tiny tank tops to work (at a bank? are you kidding me?) and like the previous review before said, they do charge you for inactive accounts. I had opened up 3 passbook accounts for my kids years ago thinking it would be fun for them to see their money grow. HA! The balance actually got lower due to all the fees from this bank. And we are taking my poor kids only has a few hundred dollars in these accounts to start with. What a fiasco! Today I went to try and close these accounts and the manager tells me (they run through managers like Kleenex over there)that because I can't find the pass books the kids have to come in and sign an affidavit to close the accounts! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? My 6 year old has to sign an affidavit?? Who runs this bank?

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with the accountant was so appalling that I feel…read moreobligated to warn others about Gerald F Paolilli. I contacted him with a few reasonable questions about my return that he prepared. I was immediately met with passive aggressive attitude, condescending comments, and a complete lack of professionalism. Rather than answering basic questions, I was told to "go elsewhere" and also to hurry up and pay the invoice. I wasn't being difficult, I just wanted to understand few things. Apparently, that's too much to ask this accountant (who is clearly a miserable person). I have never been treated with such blatant disrespect by a so-called professional. It's honestly shocking that someone like this is running a business. If you're looking for an accountant who is patient, respectful, and willing to communicate, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere. Avoid Gerald F Paolilli at all costs if you value being treated like a human being.
