Customer Reviews

I can't say enough good things about the exceptional service we received from Anthony and his team! We had years of tax returns to prepare, and I was honestly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of paperwork. However, Anthony worked quickly and efficiently, expertly navigating the complexities of our returns and making the whole process seem effortless. What was even more impressive was how he managed to complete everything in a very short amount of time, without sacrificing attention to detail. His secretary,

My husband and I had a consultation with Anthony as we were looking for tax help with our new LLC. Not only did Anthony give us an extremely comprehensive, step by step explanation of what we needed to do but he did so with kindness and a sense of humor. He took his time, listened to us intently and made sure we understood everything before leaving. Anthony (and his team) are just on another level when it comes to customer service. I'm so glad we found them. If I could, I would give 10 stars.

I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience with the whole team. As a family business operating for over 21 years, finding a reliable CPA is crucial, and Anthony?s team has exceeded our expectations. Their expertise, professionalism, and personalized service have been instrumental in optimizing our financial strategies and ensuring compliance with the latest tax laws. They take the time to understand our unique needs and consistently deliver with excellence. I highly recommend them for their dedication

My wife and I visited the office for assistance in considering a conversion from a traditional IRA to a Roth version. Anthony Ricci took considerable time (over an hour) to review our situation and to provide multiple approaches to the conversion scenario. He did not tell us what to do. Instead, he described the pros and cons of the various approaches to allow us to make our own, better informed decision. His descriptions were clear and his insight was invaluable. We highly recommend him not just for the tr

Anthony is a breath of fresh air as far as modern day professionalism is concerned. I had some tax issues that RI tax division and TurboTax had misinformed me on so I scheduled a appointment with Anthony. He took a solid 35-45 minutes out of his FREE time just to explain the disconnect to me. I believe he knew when scheduling my appointment just based off my explanation of my issues that he wouldn't be able to actually provide any paid tax services for my situation (I was unaware) but he scheduled my appoi

I just started working with Anthony and he's so helpful and easy to learn from! I've still been localizing my life and small business in Rhode Island after moving from New Hampshire a year ago, and issues I've had in the past with accountants was that they were so hard to get a hold of and I had a hard time with them taking my questions seriously. Anthony has been super kind and straight to the point, which has also been important to me starting my business as an artist which has been quite daunting!

Mr. Ricci and his staff are an absolute delight to work with. Everyone is so kind, professional and service driven. This is a firm that cares about family and the local connections many of us treasure. I was so impressed with Mr. Ricci that I brought my father in for help with his taxes, and I was so touched by how kind Anthony was towards my dad, listening to his stories patiently and helping him to feel welcome and understood. I would recommend this firm to anyone. A big thank you to both Anthony and his

Saw Anthony today for an initial consultation. Anthony is extremely accommodating, competent, and welcoming. He has a beautiful office, easily accessible and a fantastic and friendly staff. What more can you ask for? #impressed 10 stars!! ?????

My wife and I have just restructured our small business from a sole proprietorship to an LLC partnership. We sat with Anthony and asked him about S-corps, paying ourselves, employees, subcontractors, and good bookkeeping practices. Anthony was approachable and patient. He demonstrated a deep understanding of the topics discussed. Anthony asked us questions that helped us to see that there are variables to consider and not just one way to proceed with our business finances. We would not hesitate to seek his

Met with Anthony today regarding tax implications for my minor children who will be receiving inheritance from a traditional IRA. After talking with multiple financial advisors and doing my own research my head was spinning. Anthony got right down to business and did several projections for me. He is extremely knowledgeable and I left his office with a clear path. I can't thank him enough for his time and expertise.

I set up an initial appointment with Anthony and despite realizing mid-conversation that I'd actually need to file my taxes in another state (and therefore he wouldn't be able to do my taxes), Anthony could not have been more helpful and thorough in ensuring I knew my exact next steps. I honestly never write reviews online but given the fact that he was so helpful for absolutely no charge, I felt compelled to share my experience simply as a "thank you." Highly highly recommend - this is professionalism at i

Anthony Ricci, CPA is well versed and even better at relying necessary information in a kind and passionate manner. He and his office are professional and provide top notch customer service I will continue to use Anthony and his office for my personal and business accounting needs.

Anthony is extremely informative and efficient. Having known very little about filing for taxes as an independent contractor, Anthony was able to break down the steps and offer solutions to better track my tax information moving forward. 10/10 recommend his services.

I called in to ask for some advice on performing taxes for my part time Ride-share job. I was ready to pay just to be sure I was doing everything right, but Anthony got on the phone and talked to me for about 20 minutes, setting me straight on a few key points that I had neglected when recording my income for this job! Thank you for your assistance Anthony! I will definitely be calling again for any tax needs.

I had some tax filing questions & it was a bit rushed with the tax deadline 2 days away but Anthony graciously accommodated me in his busy schedule, even though I'm just a small self employed business & not his official client. He sat with me and patiently walked through all my questions, while looking at the line by line transactions. That attention to detail & thoughtfulness is what every customer wants. I can't recommend him enough.

My husband and I have been using Anthony and his staff for the last 10 years. We've never had a poor experience with them. In fact, they are always happy to answer my questions and help me wade through the murky world of taxes. They have been an invaluable resource for us and I can't imagine using anyone else. We trust them implicitly with both our personal and business taxes because, to put it quite simply, they are the best.

This tax organization is simply top notch. Anthony and his team are very professional and knowledgeable and make the complex simple. I started a business and Anthony guided me on alternatives and approaches ensuring well informed decisions. I am in great hands!

Anthony helped me with all the complicated tax issues others couldn't. He has all the knowledge and patience to deal with most annoying and tangled tax matters. He is super efficient and reliable. I strongly appreciate his work and highly recommend him to anyone who needs an accountant.

Anthony and his staff are SIMPLY EXCELLENT!!! His honest and genuine advice and support enable us to successfully deal with an IRS audit and reduce the initial amount from $10K to 2K! We will be forever grateful for his valuable, honest, and genuine support!

As a small business owner in Charlestown, RI, I can't say enough about Anthony and his firm's knowledge and expertise! This year alone, Anthony saved me thousands of dollars in capital gains taxes. I was bracing myself for a huge hit, but he just called with the good news that I will owe a fraction of what I estimated. Bravo, and thank you!!!

Anthony and his staff are really the absolute best - they are responsive, honest and helpful in every way when it comes to accounting and business matters. The advice relating to all the issues about the programs relating to the pandemic made all the difference for us to get what we needed to keep going and still feel comfortable about taking the right steps in terms of which program to choose.

I visited AVR Certified Public Accounts with questions related to a disbursement of funds and associated taxes and, specifically, to discuss AVR preparing my 2022 tax return. Mr Ricci was VERY helpful, addressing all of my questions and then telling me that, since I had been doing my taxes on my own for years, I should continue to do so, that my tax return was quite simple. I would characterize him as honest, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. If I ever need an account I will go back to him!

Decided to book an appointment with this office after much research online about finding a CPA. I have to say very rarely my expectations are met but it wasn't the case here. When I sat down with Anthony Ricci I can immediately tell that he was genuine, knowledgeable and professional! This will be moving forward the place I'll go to do anything tax related!

As a business owner in RI, I will ONLY use Anthony Ricci (and his great team) for ALL of my business and personal tax issues and preparation. I cannot say enough about the professionalism of the firm. In addition, they are timely and trustworthy. I would give 10 stars if I could!

Anthony saved me $1,600 on an amended tax return that my previous accountant had missed. Wow! He is personable, professional, and extremely good at what he does. I cannot recommend him more highly.

So my story begins at 4:45pm on a Friday afternoon. I had been off for a couple of days and had not been in QuickBooks since Wednesday. I boot up and find QuickBooks GONE! Nowhere to be found! I call Anthony immediately hoping that I might catch him. CATCH HIM? Not only did I catch him but he answered the office phone and stayed with me until we had completely downloaded QB back into my desktop and 10 years of data back into the program ( Thank God I backup all data to a flash drive ever week.

They have been my account for 10+ years and will continue to be. Absolutely the best CPA you could possibly want or need. Anthony Ricci and his staff are amazing. They are truly there for whatever needs you may have year round. Highly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications should I look for in a CPA?

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.

How do I find a CPA in my area?

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.

What’s the difference between a CPA and an accountant?

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.

How do I know if a CPA specializes in my needs?

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.

Should I check a CPA’s reviews before hiring?

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.

How can I verify a CPA’s license?

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.

What questions should I ask during a CPA consultation?

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.

How much should I expect to pay for a CPA’s services?

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.

Can I work with a CPA remotely?

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.

How do I assess a CPA’s communication skills?

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.

What red flags should I watch for when screening a CPA?

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.

Should I choose a CPA from a large firm or a solo practitioner?

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.

How often should I meet with my CPA?

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.

Can a CPA help with both personal and business finances?

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.

What should I do if I’m not satisfied with my CPA?

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.
