Pinpoint going there for years. They've been doing my business taxes and personal. You know, i've always done such a great job.Would recommend them to anybody

Brian and his team have always done an exceptional job taking care of my taxes! I have recommended them to my family members and friends and they all have been very satisfied. Thanks Brian and team for always making tax season so simple and easy.

Eight years ago when I started my new company, I interviewed accountants to find a good one. Brian was the only one who asked me big picture questions about my business; not just the accounting details. That's when I knew he would be not just a number-cruncher, but a partner in my business who would be watching out for the overall impact of business financial decisions. That was eight years ago, and I have stayed with him the whole time, because he and his team have delivered!

I?ve worked personally with Brian at Bayerkohler he is easily accessible and works tirelessly for all his clients even on weekends . I really appreciate the snap shot he does for our business in October to prepare us for end of year so we can make good decisions. When something comes up out of the ordinary especially with all the tax laws changing he researches and responds immediately . I highly recommend this firm it gives me peace of mind knowing there in my corner and gives me more time to focus on m

Brian and his team have prepared our business and personal returns since the early 2000?s. They are consummate professionals. They have successfully navigated us through some of the most complex situations that can arise in business. We have greatly benefitted from Brian?s guidance and expertise and we could not recommend him and his team more!

We've been using Brian and his team for the last 16+ years. Bayerkohler, ltd., redefines excellence in accounting. With expert knowledge, proactive strategies, and unwavering integrity, they provided personalized solutions that exceed our expectations. We are so thankful to have them! Efficiency, reliability, and ethical practices make them our go-to choice for navigating complex financial landscapes. I wouldn't trust anyone else!

Brian Bayerkohler "inherited" us as clients when his father retired in 2006. It's now 2024--and he's still taking care of us like extended family (which is especially good since we moved from Minnesota to Arkansas in 2013). We appreciate his prompt and exacting counseling and support. As his company is now expanding to include "real" family as colleagues, we wish them all success...and for us, many more years of expert tax advice!

We have used there accounting service for 40 plus years. we started with Brians father and have continued using there services. We are always pleased with the job they do. They are up to date on all of the tax changes, efficient and easy to work with.

Brian and his team are fantastic. They are knowledgeable and prompt. Through my legal practice I have the opportunity work with many talented CPAs and I choose to work with Bayerkohler LTD for my personal and business accounting needs.

If you're anything like me and dread the thought of the tax season, then look no more! Brian and the Bayerkohler, LTD team are 1000% the way to go! With the vast knowledge and experience that their team has on any tax situation, along with the availability of using their firm portal to upload tax documents, things couldn't get any easier. I always recommend them to friends, family, and even those having tax headaches, because I'm confident that Brian and his team will ease that pain. You can completely trus

I have probably sent 100 doctors to Brian. They love him and his team. Not one has every complained and doctors are always the first to tell me if they don't like our referrals. Can't say enough good things--We like them so much, I fired my CPA of 25 years, and happily switched all my personal accounts to Team Brian. Katherine Vessenes, JD, CFP(R), CEO MD Financial Advisors.

I've been working with this firm for 3 years for my personal and business filings. They have advised me on tax-savings strategies, communicated in a timely manner, and have a website to easily upload my tax documents. They charge a reasonable price and working with a CPA has paid dividends in tax-savings.

Working with Brian, Amy, and Aielyn has been nothing but a smooth experience - They have answers to all of my questions, are easily accessible, and work with me throughout the year to manage both my business and personal finances.

Bayerkohler Ltd have been my accounts for over 7 years with zero complaints! Complete professionalism and attention to detail are what you can expect and they deliver. Highly recommended!

Amy was absolutely wonderful and very helpful. She taught me a quick lesson on Quickbooks, that will be an asset to my job at Sirius Veterinary Care.

I have nothing but great things to say about the team at Bayerkohler. From tax prep, to accounting questions, they have always been there for me. You will not be disappointed with there service. 5 stars all the way!

I appreciate how responsive Brian is with his communications. I've spoken to a lot of tax advisors over the years and I highly value Brian's expertise.

Been working with Brian for 4 years now and have had nothing but a great experience! I refer all my family and friends to his company.

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.
