Been with Accurate income tax for 30 years and they are very profesionals and anything you need or problem they?re open all year long ??????
Been dealing with EZ and OK for over 40 years great place.
I've been going here for10 years or more and I don't have anything bad to say about them. Even through their most difficult times they have still done right by me and my family. I first went to them when my company closed due to the 2007 - 2010 housing market crash. My business and personal taxes were a mess as my old school office help (Mom) fell Ill and could no longer work. No one I went to would help unless all my info was already in Quick Books. I had boxes full of paperwork and Eze said we will take
EZ and his helpers are the greatest! I have been going to him for 12 years. He is nice, fair, honest, professional, and quick. The fee is can be steep, but he makes sure you get back as much as you can within the legal limits and without the IRS hunting you down later on.
I have been using Accurate 14yrs now... i have no complaints. Time in and out, once called in, is so quick its surprising. I have recommended Accurate to several friends and a few family members and they also wer astonished. 5 stars no doubt.
I have been going here for years with my family with no problems but today, I stood in line outside waiting for 9am, then these other people trying to fight me that oh they got there first and I am behind them and started to push me and one foolish woman wanted to act like she was going to physically fight me. I explained that I was in line first and they all just got out of their cars saying they were there first. That is not how a line works. I don?t appreciate folks trying to fight me while I want to get
Hello! I am a big fan of Eze and his staff -- he's been doing my taxes for about 18 years now. The wait is a bit long on certain days but it's well worth it. Thank you
A company that does not put client and customer service first does not deserve my business. There is just too much competition out there to settle with unprofessional businesses. This may be good for regular people who have one income. For more complex issues I would take my business elsewhere.
I can't believe this place doesn't have a fax machine I asked the lady at the desk if she can help me fax a paper she said that she didn't have one I told her there's a sign that says fax she said oh the fax machine doesn't work not only that the lady was rude. This place discriminates against the handicapped especially people in the wheelchairs
Excellent I have been Going to E.Z. for over 15 Years Now Very Professional and Organized and Extremely Clean office and Staff is Nicer than the Staff at Chikfilas if thats Humanly Possible ??????
Very unprofesional tax agents(UNPROFESIONALS) THEY dont want to do any hard work but they are willing to overcharge you, they will not take their time to do your taxes the proper way. PLEASE DO NOT COME HERE, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY......THEY SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been a client for the past 6 years and my tax guy does a great job. I would recommend everyone....
He won't give you a price ahead of time, and won't take debit/credit cards. But he did get us a big return.
Been coming here since the age of 19 and I'm 28 now I love this place never had any problems?? on top of that I recommended my friends and family to go there...
Been going to Accurate income for years try them out you will not be disappointed! I promise!
I have been going to these guys since I was 19 I am now 44. They are the best in the business.
Accurate income- Bookkeeping is good and trusted in service.

Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.
Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.
A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.
Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.
Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.
Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.
Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.
Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.
Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.
During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.
Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.
Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.
For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.
Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.
Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
