I've had the privilege of working with Rachael Walke and her team in several capacities over the years. The three words that come to mind in describing Rachael are: intelligence, integrity and invested. Our first interaction was using her as a forensic accountant. The rebuilding of the records and data was flawless. Ms Walke has served as our HOA community's accountant for several years. She has always provided us with factual, timely and straightforward reports. The information made our decisions as a community so much easier. Personally, Rachael has taken on both our personal and business tax accounting. She addressed concerns left from the previous accountant and provided us with valuable insights that greatly assisted our tax planning and financial success. The charges we paid for her and her team's excellent service were reasonable and a good value. In appreciation, Bill read more

I'm a bit confused about the reviews on this site. My husband and I are heavily invested in real estate and have a very complex portfolio. We have been working with Rachael directly and have been 100% happy with all she does for us. She has always been prompt and attentive to all our questions, takes her time to explain strategies, recommends tax advice planning strategies, and so much more. She orchestrated a 1031 exchange seamlessly. Please DO NOT let the previous reviews sway your reach to have Rachael and her team assist you!! JCH Properties read more

Rachael has made numerous mistakes in the way she handled the accounting and tax preparation for my business. She was a poor communicator and I have since changed over to a different accounting firm with a MUCH better experience. I DO NOT recommend Walke and Associates. read more

Would recommend that you go somewhere else for tax prep! My first meeting with Rachael seemed rushed and felt like she really didn't want to take the time and look over everything I had brought in. When I got the call from her office that my taxes where done I arrived with the expectation that we would review everything. That was not the case. Instead I was handed a folder with my taxes and little explanation. I paid for the services and left. Upon my own review of the tax paperwork I noticed that she had used the wrong social security number. I called and spoke with Rachael and she assured me that this issue would be corrected. Several months later I received a notice from the IRS stating that I had not paid my taxes. Even though I wrote the correct social security number on my check, it still didn't end up in the right account. I spent close to an hour and a half on the phone with the IRS trying to get this corrected. In the end I contact Rachael and asked that she refund the money I paid her for the tax prep as I felt errors were made that could have been avoided. Rachael refused my request for a refund and placed the blame on the IRS. Regardless of fault, I will not use the services of Walke & Associates in the future. read more

I spoke with an accountant, whose name I I won't share. I asked him directly what their rates were and he told me $50/hr. I know this because I started a conversation with him about now much less that was than I had previously paid in Denver. I was really happy with the "rates" he quoted. However, when I sent him my returns, I was charged TRIPLE what he quoted me. They were adamant I was mistaken, but I'm 100% confident we discussed how much cheaper they were than my last accountant. A conversation that wouldn't have happened if he had quoted the SAME rate as I had been paying. Add onto that, he was condescending during the process. I'd say he was a dick, but that wouldn't be appropriate. Anyhow, nail these guys down on price, because they are slippery as shit. If you're able, find another accountant. read more
