Fantastic job been using AL for about 15 years or more . Always helpful and responsive to my questions. One of many things that always stood out to me is he makes you feel like you?re his only client.
We went to Mollica CPA for the first time this year. They had good reviews and are local. Preety Sahansra was our accountant and she was really great. Will definitely will be doing our taxes with her again! She was quick , reasonable, knowledgeable and funny as well. Highly recommended!
Alfonso J.Mollica is an excellent CPA. He has always paid attention to our needs. His advise is always correct. We are very lucky to have him as our accountant.
Everything was excellent. Al did a great job, did it efficiently, and we had a laugh or 2 during the process. Absolutely unequivocally recommend Alfonso Mollica for getting your taxes done right! Again, the same experience. Not much I can add, except perhaps to also say that the office staff is also sharp, welcoming, and personable. If you want a professional, go to Alfonso. You will be glad you did.
We've been clients of Al's for years. Our taxes are done quickly and efficiently and we're very happy with the service we receive.
Always a pleasure to work with Al. He is prompt, courteous and professional. His work is always thorough and reliable.
Was introduced by a relative who is in the business and have used Al's services for the past 2 years, and its a breath of fresh air from my only tax preparer
Al and his team are wonderful. Very professional with great attention to detail.
Excellent service, professional interaction and timely tax preparation and submission. A Trustworthy firm, highly recommend
Always a good experience, except for the fact that I had to pay the IRS. Preety is always very nice and informative.
It is always a pleasure to work with Mr Mollica. The staff is kind and attentive.
The staff was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating! You?re awesome Audi; from day one Audi assisted me in making sure I gathered all required documents for a timely completion. The CPA Alfonso was very helpful, thorough, knowledgeable and ensured completion! I highly recommend this office; and I?m coming back next year!
I have been doing my taxes with Preety Sahansra for a while now. She is a perfectionist, very knowledgeable, honest, and always gives me the right advice. Everyone in the office of Mr. Mollica is great. This is my place to go, I can not imagine doing my taxes anywhere else.
The best accountant I have ever worked with. His whole office team is totally client-oriented. For simple returns he gets it done ez pz and he is a whiz at resolving complicated tax problems as well. Go....Go....Go see him!
I?m surprised at all of the 5 star reviews. That?s what prompted us to try out this accountant. He did our taxes 2 years ago. First he told us we were receiving way more back than we were. Ok, can deal with that. This past season, we went to a new accountant who was phenomenal. She said she received a couple of customers from Mollica who all worked for the city and he completely destroyed their taxes as well. She fixed our taxes from the prior year thankfully and we had to resubmit. Wouldn?t recommend trust
Taken care of me for 9 years! The nicest, most thoughtful group to work with on your taxes. I have done all my work with them remote with no issues or confusion. Their secure vault document share is simple to use and they keep all previous years as well. Super Fast, Super Friendly! Highly recommend.
Al and his team are very friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. I've used his team to take care of my taxes for the past 4 years and he has been great at taking care of us. He is able to answer any questions I have (or find the answers) and remains patient when I don't have everything I need. They are professional and very fairly priced. I highly recommend him and his team.
I would give six stars if I could. I was under time pressure to get our business taxes done. It was before 5 PM on Friday the 15th, and Al persisted in helping me get our taxes filed. I had missed a couple of signatures, and he took extra time out of his day to email me back so we could get things in before the deadline. I am grateful for his help.
I was in a serious bind when I found Mr. Mollica. As a small business owner, operating in my first year, I had many questions and concerns. Mr. Mollica addressed them all, and made me feel like an important client, even on our first meeting. The process was made easy and helped me enormously. I cannot recommend his services enough.
The best experience ever! My three daughters and I have been getting our taxes done by Alfonso for years and would never change to another accountant. Everyone in the office is very friendly and professional. Heather especially makes you feel welcome by offering an amazing cup of coffee! Alfonso is very knowledgeable and keeps current with any new tax laws. Joanne Livingston
Everyone at the office is super easy to work with. They always answer my questions quickly and professionally. -Marissa Al made the transition to his accounting service very efficient and stress free. He did everything he said he was going to do and on time. I highly recommend using his accounting service for his professionalism and friendly accommodating manner. - Arthur Gingold - Only 8 Frozen Yogurt
I had a major problem with a previous preparer which ended up costing me a lot of money. I did some research and decided to use Alfonso's firm. He and Fatima straightened out my tax issues better than I expected! They took the time to deal with the IRS when I couldn't. Their costs were reasonable and the experience was great. I have since employed them to continue working on my taxes and have been extremely satisfied.
Setting up the appointment was easy and hassle free. My initial questions through their website were answered quickly and friendly without a big sales push. Speaking with Alfonso during my tax preparation showed his wealth of knowledge and experience. Definitely happy and repeat customer going forward!! Highly Recommend!
The word that first comes to mind when describing my interaction with Alfonso Mollica and his staff is professionalism. I?ve been a client since 2017; and each time it was once again time to file taxes, I?ve found he and his staff to be knowledgeable, patient, courteous and respectful. Lot?s of organizations make this claim; but in this case I?ve found it to be absolutely true, and I would recommend his service to anyone who has the need, without hesitation.
Mr. Mollica and his staff are excellent. He presented me with a solution on a concern I had that put me at ease and solved the problem. Very timely service even though I came to him one week before the deadline. It was all done with a couple of days to spare. Courteous, knowledgeable and efficient. I would recommend him to people I know.
Al is absolutely BEST CPA. He helped me in my Tax Issue. I can say, he is Godsend in my case. Not only he solved my issue but helped to fix it efficiently. When I went to him fully confused, he quickly understood my situation and reassured me. He worked with the tax official diligently and respectfully and got me the best result possible. I should say saved me. So for me he is a pleasure to work with. Very friendly, organized and down to earth. I could not be happier with his service. Highly recommended!
Excellent service. Alfonso takes something that can be very complicated and makes it easy to understand and a painless process. First time client and will definitely be returning next tax season!
Our experience with Al Mollica has always been the best, and even beyond expectations . Not only is he up to date in his knowledge and competently applies it in his practice, but he takes the time to share it in order to prepare his clients for situations that may require special proactive treatment. He is extremely responsive and prompt, and always a pleasure to deal with .
This was my first year using them and they were great! Alfonso was always quick with answering any of my questions and I highly recommend them.
For years we dreaded tax season. Every year we went to H&R Block and like we couldn't ask questions or take too much time for our appointment. As a result we were poorly educated about the process. Mr. Mollica is wonderful and patient and a great guy to spend time with even if the focus of your conversation is taxes. We left expecting a great refund and feel more prepared for the coming year.
they answer their phone and get it done when you ask for something. their hours are very very good to communicate daily. my return is complex. they gave good service.
I have been working with Alfonso and team for years- they are the best in the business! Very reliable, responsive, and always advocating on behalf of their clients to get the most value. I plan on working with their team for the foreseeable future.
Professional and Personable. I always enjoy filing my taxes with Al. I know they will be correct, I wont miss out on any credits, and that the fee will be reasonable. I am very happy with the service here and will be a customer for many years to come.
Thank you so much to Mr. Mollica for always being part of our family for so many years. I am twenty years old and I am finally doing my taxes on my own, and because of Mr. Mollica he is beyond patient and you comprehend everything he is doing. Thank you for helping myself and the rest of my family this year, even after all the tax changes ;)
One of the best CPA?s i have dealt with in my years. They handle my company & personal returns for the past 4 years. My questions are answered fast my paperwork is sent over quickly and they are digital ! And there prices are fair !! Thanks Alfonso & staff
Amazing work, it is pleasure to do business with Mollica Tax & accounting. They reviewed my quick books, answered any questions I had and than did my taxes. Simple and painless. I highly recommend Mollica tax & accounting to friends and family.
Fatima was very courteous and understanding to what I needed with my taxes. We communicated by text and email and it was done quickly and professionally. It was a pleasure working with her.
Al and the rest of his staff are the most helpful and pleasant accountants I have dealt with. Perfect at tax time and useful throughout the year. Readily available to answer any questions. Really can't say enough about this business, highly recommend!
Mr. Mollica and his team have been and will continue to be my "go to" accountants. They are professional, experienced and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to taxes and your finances. They guided me through the maze of documents that they needed to complete the task by the tax deadline. Thank you for your services.
Always a pleasant and professional atmosphere! Very honest and reliable! He makes you feel comfortable knowing that he will do the best for you! This is written by his wife, since my husband passed this January!
Have been using Mollica Tax and Accounting for several years. Very professional and efficient. We especially enjoy working with Prettie, she is incredibly knowledgeable and spends so much time with us.
Got my taxes done with Alfonso this year, as I do every year. It was painless. He was amazing and his staff is outstanding. Heather is truly the best, such a sweetheart.
I've been with Mollica Tax & Accounting for a few years now, and I've been very, very happy wit their work throughout that time. They know what they're doing, and they do it well. Definitely worth checking them out.
Good experience filing taxes. Have been a customer for the past 15 years and always helpful in filing on time even though sometimes the paperwork is sent over at the last minute. Digital upload of documents is very convenient and hassle free.
Al and his team is always reliable to get the job done. The right way and the fast way. I give them alot of props for being available to answer any question my wife and I had even after hours they responded. Thank you!
Preety is a delight to work with. Beautiful person and soul. Al Mollica and team make tax time simple.
Amazing CPA with wonderful staff. Everyone makes you feel like family and will work day and night to get any job done. I have never had any other firm in 30 years of business go above and beyond.
I own and operate a small business. Al and Preety have always been a pleasure to work with. They?ve always kept me on the right track financially. I highly recommend them for business and personal finances.
I highly recommend Mr. Mollica and his company. My family has been clients of his for years and you will be very satisfied and confident in the results of your tax experience with him.
I dropped my tax paperwork including Mr. Mollica's worksheets in his mail slot on a Monday evening and followed up with a phone call the next Wednesday. he said they would be done by the end of the following week. Weren't completed for nearly three weeks.
I have been using this Accounting firm for a few years now and the quality of service is excellent. They are always available and answer your questions quickly.
It was easy to get an appointment. Our accountant was knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. Very straightforward process!!

Thank you Alfonso J. Mollica and staff for doing a great job every year! Outstanding customer 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.
