This was my first year filing with Arman Chowdhury, CPA, and I had a great experience. He was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate the care and attention ? definitely coming back next year!
Arman uncle and associates are very nice and friendly to me. Arman uncle is my relative. He always takes care of me.
The wrost CPA(Arman) i have ever seen. He made mistake on my tax return. After that no cooperation and show the attitude that its not his fault. I will never visit him again for any purpose. Be careful everyone before visit him. I should say his rating should be (minus) not even zero. Fully unprofessional behavior.
Since I have been doing my taxes here I haven't been audited. He is a conservative CPA and very nice to talk to. I was stuck in traffic and came late, almost at closing time, Mr. Arman's staff and Mr. Arman himself showed absolutely no frustration and welcomed me. I was already feeling horrible being there late but the way the staff welcomed me, made me feel much better. Quality service, highly knowledgeable and low price. Recommended for anyone and everyone.
I want to start by saying that I have been a client here since 2016 - 2021. I was hoping to stay here as a client but my recent experiences have been very frustrating. I received letter from NYS IRS from year 2018 and 2020 for not filing with NYS (which were supposed to be submitted by the Arman Bhais firm) and I reached out for help with the audit letter as I was nearing the IRS deadline. I got very limited response from the team here and my issues were never resolved. I had to find another accountant to h

Arman has been my CPA for the last 5 years. I trust him and he?s always very helpful. All year round available to answer my questions or help me find a solution. He just has been the fast CPA. He is very respectful, professional, and overall a caring person. Plus he is bilingual (bengali). I would recommend this office. The office offers a lot of other services too like help in immigration, hajj packages offers, applying for citizenship, ssn issues etc.
Mr. Chowdhury came highly recommended to us from one of his client. He has not disappointed us at all. Mr. Chowdhury and his staff are very professional and always available to help. We are glad and thankful to get him as our CPA and also, recommend him highly to others.

I have been using Arman Chowdhury CPA for 3 years now. I was in deep trouble with New York State with many unfilled Corporate Tax Returns and over $10,000 in penalty and tax assessment. Mr. Chowdhury was able to take care of all of the issues and got us penalty and interest forgiveness for most of the periods. Very happy with his 5 star service. I recommended Arman Chowdhury CPA for anyone interested in highly professional service.
Arman Chowdhury looks very good. But that's not the case. there are these two people in the front, they will file your tax file and after that, he will submit it to Arman Chowdhury. Then Arman Chowdhury will show your tax file that he is looking at your tax file in a very responsible way. Not really because he would look at my tax file responsibly. The people on the front had made so many mistakes in my tax file that he could not see it. When Irs sent me a letter due to tax filing misinformation. They
I like the way he deals with every client. Very calm and professional. Knows his subject very well. If you want good service with reasonable costs, he is the CPA for you.

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.
