Akash and his team are the definition of hard workers! They have been very thorough and responsive if I had any questions especially as someone with little to no experience contacting a cpa firm. Definitely worth checking out. I?ll be back for next years return. Great pricing as well!!!
Akash failed to file my returns resulting in a number of penalties and interest. And instead of simply apologizing for the oversight, he chose to be disgusting, unprofessional and act like a spoiled brat when the oversight and clear incompetence was highlighted. I will be sure to report this incompetence so he can continue to be an incompetent brat with a record.
Incredible service, great price, and peace of mind each year. Highly recommend to anyone! Akash and his team made our taxes a breeze even though we had to work through some international nuance. I never thought doing my taxes would be so stress-free. Thank you!!
I had the pleasure of working with Akash for my tax preparation, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is an absolute gem of a tax professional! Akash has a deep understanding of the tax code and was able to answer all of my questions in a clear and concise manner. He was also very patient and took the time to explain things to me in a way that I could easily understand. I never felt rushed or pressured, and he always made sure I was comfortable and confident about the decisions we were making. In
I have used many accountants for my tax returns and I can say with confidence that I had the best experience with Akash. He was very clear as to what information I need to gather and he even identified an additional deduction I can claim (no other accountants had told me this before). He was extremely fast in preparing my Federal, NJ, and VA returns and, before finalizing and filing them, he explained everything and answered all my questions in plain language. The whole process was very smooth and not conf

I would recommend him to all my colleagues.
Akash is extremely professional and knowledgeable about the tax filing process. He went to great lengths to explain the filing process end to end, and was thoroughly courteous throughout the whole exercise.

This was my first time going to a 3rd party for tax returns as in the past i did it myself online. However this year my tax situation was too complicated for me to do alone. As i reached out to multiple CPAs, Mr. Akash Sharma was the first to respond even though it was after 8 pm on a Friday... and even gave me a quote that same night (which was so much more affordable than others i reached out to). He responded to my emails in less than an hour and fit me in to his schedule the following Tuesday. When i we

Professional, Precise, and Proficient. Your search for a CPA will end at AD Sharma CPA LLC. They have complete knowledge about tax-filing. Ensure the right and highest amount of refund.

Also, do not go to desperate cheap tax filers just because they charge less. There will be errors and errors, if you do not go to a CPA practi

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.
