Angela and Greg have been doing our taxes for over a decade and we have been very happy with their work. No matter what our issue has been, from regular taxes to filing an amended return to dealing with an audit they have always been helpful, prompt, responsive and responsible in taking care of all our tax related issues and are always there with an explanation when I have a question. Also, their prices are quite reasonable. We recommend them wholeheartedly.
I would HIGHLY recommend working with Atlanta Business Accountants! As someone who does not have a lot of tax knowledge and gets easily overwhelmed around tax season, Angela is so wonderful to communicate with and always explains my different options and why she is doing the things she does. Not only has she made bookkeeping and filing taxes painless for me, but she helped me form my own LLC and has continued to help me make the best decisions to optimize tax savings. Angela and Greg also provide great reso
I?ve reached out to Atlanta Business Accountants when my YouTube channel started making enough money for me to worry about taxes. Working with Angie and Greg has been great! They take care of everything related to my taxes, they guide me in ways to maximize deductions and take care of my quarterly bookkeeping and estimated taxes. They are down to earth and are very good at explaining to me the income calculations and my tax return, so that I know what I?m signing. They took all the guesswork and worries out
I worked with Greg Freyman this April (2023) on my Person and Business Taxes after my mid year move from NC. I am still pretty new to freelance and contract tax requirements, so Greg fully explained the rules, laws, and decutions, and helped me to find the information I needed to complete submission keeping in mind my time and budget. The online system security and handling of my personal information was amazing. And his attention to detail is a step above all other services I have used. He is a fast talker
Freyman CPA have prepared my personal and small business returns for several years. They get to know my situation personally--I never feel like a number. They are incredibly competent, thorough, accessible, and friendly. I highly recommend Angela and Greg.
I love working with Greg. He has taught me so much about taxes and how to be smart with them. I feel safe letting him handle whatever he needs. He?s a great person that will be honest and take the best care of you. Highly recommend him.
Atlanta Business Accountants helped us thru a complicated move from a previous accountant. They were patient with us and we gathered all the necessary information and very thorough in their work. We are very happy to be on board now and feel much better about our accounting situation moving forward. Thanks!
I would like to express how much I appreciate Angie's help. Being in a real estate business is not, but filing taxes is even more complicated. With Angie, income tax filing is easy. All I had to, was to get my paperwork and receipts in order, and upload everything to the portal. Angie did the rest. She found all real estate professional deductions that I qualified under state and federal laws. I have been with Angie for many years, and she had never disappointed me. If you want to sleep well at night, and h
The team at Atlanta Business Accountants has been amazing to work with! The communication has been great, they send me detailed videos where they go over my specific situation, present me with options and recommend what they think is the best course of action. They look out for my company?s best interests and I feel good knowing that I am up to date with my tax compliance. It?s one less thing I need to worry about. Larisa Levi
Their level of experience and acuity is unparalleled! Finding accountants who understand the startup and e-commerce spaces this well, always prepared with the right strategy for our specific sectors, is a rarity. Angela & Greg are some of the most proactive professionals I?ve ever met - they think 20 steps ahead and keep innovating constantly to find new ways for their clients to succeed financially. They?re easy to work with, professional, and I cannot recommend them enough!!
Super professional and knowledgeable. I bought my first house last year and was in the dark how to properly file my taxes. Greg not only made the process easy, but he washed away my worries almost instantly. He explained everything to me, made me feel like I was his sole focus and that kind of service is unmatched.
The Team is always so kind and friendly. Hands on help with a simple email request. Website easy to navigate. I had concerns about my QuickBook and was able to schedule a 15, 30 or 60 minutes session for clarification. The team always responds, with no hesitation. I?m thankful for the partnership!
Greg and Angie from Atlantic Business Accountants have been top notch when servicing my accounting needs as well as taxes for my small business. Highly recommend their services for any small or large business. Joe Gett-Itt Core Fitness
t?s hard to find an accounting firm that truly cares about my business success. I?m so glad I found the team at Atlanta Business Accountants. They helped me strategize my real estate investments, gave me a rundown of all my options, and came up with a plan that?s helped me make the most out of my investments with careful tax planning. I?m finally in good hands.
Greg and Angie are extremely knowledgeable and professional. Working with them has always been a pleasure. They are dedicated to providing top-notch service and support. I highly recommend working with them.
Great service, highly recommend. Greg and Angie are very easy to work with, highly communicative, and always helped me understand any of my questions. As a small business owner, you can't go wrong with them!
Absolutely the best. Angie is so knowledgeable and professional, yet has the ability to explain things in terms that are understandable to people without a financial background. She'll literally eliminate your fear of taxes. Can't overstate this recommendation. She's just the best.
I booked a 15 minute discovery call that I had planned to take during my daily walk in the park. there were no instructions, no text message, no join link until I emailed in at the time of appointment since there was no further contact aside from an earlier email to reschedule. I was told because I?m not seated, I?m not taking this seriously and being disrespectful, and was hung up on. what a strange, hostile interaction.
They take the time to get to know my needs and keep me informed at all times. Most importantly, they respond quickly to any of my questions. I highly recommend them!
One of the best Accountants. Professional, thorough, and informative. I highly recommend if you are a startup, small business or entrepreneur. They will guide, plan and educate you to success!
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.
