What a pleasure to work with Andrea and her staff! My wife and I have recently looked around for a good tax preparer. We're not rich, but we've worked hard building our business over the years. However, our long-time friend and accountant passed away a couple of years ago. We tried a well-known local firm for a couple of years. They were charming people, but we never felt welcome. Meeting Andrea at AnderKobes was a welcome breath of fresh air. Professional staff, quick response to phone calls, and Andr
I am so grateful to have found this great company. As a new business owner, unfamiliar with business-related tax planning issues, I had trouble with other firms that seemed too busy to help me really understand how to plan my business better. AnderKobes CPA has helped me feel comfortable asking questions about areas of tax planning that I'm unknowledgeable about. Andrea's team are all excellent in their care and service of their clients and make themselves available for support. I wish I had found this com
AnderKobes CPA is very professional and helpful in providing excellent tax service. The best part of their business is their customer service! They are patient in answering questions and did not make us feel inept. They have a simple method ? all we have to do is organize our documents, download them, sign electronically and they are done! We?ve been happy with their management of our tax information. Highly recommend!
Update on this, Their comment below is just for show. When the incident happened last week, I asked Brandon to have Stacey or Andrea call me to discuss the situation and I never heard back from them. *** Worse onboarding experience ever. If it's indicative of what can be expected during the actual tax filing process, bad sign... First, Andrea reviewed my tax docs, but never actually connected with me about them again. So I followed up regularly for over 2 months, till finally their admin Brandon confirme
We have had our taxes done by AnderKobes, or those who work for the company for over 5 years. We have been well taken care of. As long as we get our "tax organizer" in to them on time, they get it to the IRS, in time. We had a problem concerning the "special Covid provisions" that caused the IRS to revisit our 2020 return, and even though it was several years back, Andrea and Stacey were wonderful in helping get everything all straightened out. We were very happy when it was resolved, and we came out ahead
Andre was welcoming, knowledgeable, understanding and easy to talk with. Explained everything so I was able to understand the next steps that were to follow. I believe she will be able to handle my situation in order to file my taxes after losing my husband.
I have found an amazing team in Andrea and her colleagues! Having reliable, efficient, and responsive professionals to handle something as important as business or personal taxes can make a world of difference. Their support brings me a lot of peace of mind!!
I highly recommend AnderKobes CPA. They are very knowledgeable and very caring. I am a CPA, but haven?t worked in Public Accounting for over 25 years, so I use a CPA firm to prepare my tax returns for all my entities. The previous firm was not responsive, at all, and I was just a number to them. AnderKobes CPA is the opposite. They are very responsive and caring. I can?t say enough positive things about them.
This was our first year with AnderKobes. We worked with Andrea and found her and her staff to be very professional and competent. She was thorough and on time with our returns which included corporate and personal. We look forward to working with Andrea and all at AnderKobes for many years to come.
AnderKobes did accounting & tax services for My husband & I as well for as his consulting company. They did a fantastic job very promptly. They were very patient with our multiple questions. We highly recommended them for any or your accounting needs!
Andrea and her team have helped us navigate complex tax issues including international tax issues. She is friendly, response, and really works to understand your situation. We?ll definitely continue to use Andrea and team for all our tax needs!
I?m giving 5 stars because my CPA firm was very lazy. My taxes are not too demanding. Taxes were done timely and efficiently. AnderKobes made the transition very pleasant.
Andrea did our 2022 taxes, and she filed an extension because she was not able to complete them timely, which we were not infomed of at the time we met with her. Unfortunately, she also filed an extension for a business that was closed previously and had no income in 2022. Now, the IRS is charging us penalties and interest on the closed business, because she filed an extension and no tax return was ever filed. The IRS was not notified that the extension was filed in error. We've spent hours on the phone wit
Andrea has been our CPA for over a decade. There is no one else I trust to work with us and our taxes and finances. Please consider hiring the best, and the best is Andrea!
AnderKobes took the business over a couple of years ago. I was pleased with the prior owner and am as please with this new group. They are always ready to answer any questions I have as well as being prompt with their replies.
The CPA group has been with my small business for the last 5+ yrs. Mrs. Kobes n staff are very professional, helpfull, supportive when changes occur in the tax world. I have recommended Mrs. Kobes to other businesses. V/ r, Elba
Andrea and her team are top notch. They helped me navigate and clear up some confusing situations and I?m so thankful I had them on my team. Will be using them next year!
Andrea is incredible I refer her to everyone I know. Her knowledge is second to none and she has a fabulous team especially for small business owners like me :)

AnderKobes,Inc is quick to provide important info as we get ready for 2024 tax filing??..also supply leadership through any & all questions.
These guys bought this business from my previous cpa, which was a great honest fair company. This place however is out for themselves and their richs, price gouging unbelievably. Of course the first thing they did after taking over was a fancy office remodel that someone had to pay for. They have optional fees they don't explain to you are an option yet slip into your bill. They are charging an astronomical rate compared to the average going rate of a cpa. Just atrocious! Never use this place
AnderKobes is a wonderful CPA. They?re always willing to answer any questions I have. I would highly recommend them
Andrea took the time to listen to our needs, answer our questions, and helped us make tax advantage decisions for our business.

We filed for an extension for our 2023 taxes but was not super impressed on how things were handled this year?.

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.
