Bryce took time to review my information, at my request before tax season. The download process was easy and efficient. The taxes were completed and filed after we reviewed the information and forms.
Please do not hire this guy! He is awful, dishonest and not trustworthy! He uses more time responding to reviews than meeting deadlines. He missed a few deadlines for me costing me money. Having to sue him now for negligence and fraud. It?s impossible to talk to him. He only allows you to speak through his secretary. I don?t want to relay my financial information through a secretary. I didn?t hire her! When I began to question why he was so behind, wasn?t responding and asking some questions 8 months later
Bryce and his team are always very prompt and courteous when assisting me with financial advice and tax preparation and execution. I highly recommend BCE Accounting and Tax.
We had an amazing experience for our first time. We will be using them every year.
Bryce has been preparing my taxes for three years or so. He and his staff are quick, efficient, communicative, thorough and affordable. The secure website to upload all my documents is super easy to use and the same with payments. I wholeheartedly recommend this business to everyone. You will not be disappointed!
I have utilized BCE Accounting & Tax for several years and they always come through with 100% service and satisfaction!
We have been using Bryce with BCE Accounting & Tax for years. He does both our business and personal taxes. Bryce has done an excellent job for us and we highly recommend him.
Bryce and team have been doing our taxes for years beyond any reasonable expectation. I'll have questions in October and he will be there ready to help. No way any other tax prep service is helping you in October. His overall process including a simple organizer that he updates regularly for law changes makes it easy to track everything throughout the year with a simple upload during tax prep time.
Bryce completely saved the day! Another accounting firm really dropped the ball for our small nonprofit. Bryce really helped us out, he provided us a quick timeline with excellent communication. We will definitely be going back and recommending him to everyone we know!
My first year working with Bryce. Quick communication! His staff is great. Looking forward to continued tax support for my business
Bryce is helpful and knowledgeable in his field. When we first began using Bryce, he took a look at our previous taxes and found an error saving us a TON of money. This is because he thoroughly investigated our situation and history. If it was for his personal care and attention, we'd have never received that refund.
Bryce and his staff at BCE Accounting are awesome to work with. Quick responses and great planning strategies.
Bryce has made doing taxes so easy and helpful! I was super nervous starting out doing taxes for the first time but Bryce is very experienced and made the process much less daunting. He is also very responsive. Never once had any issue! Thanks Bryce! You're the best!
Bryce is a great individual. Very helpful professional tax and accounting service. It is very easy to do business with Bryce. I appreciate his ability and willingness to go the extra mile to help clients. He has the resources and technology to get your taxes done with ease.
I've used Bryce's tax service for 3 years. His convenient process has allowed me to continue using BCE from out of state. He is professional, knowledgeable and responsive. The process is not only efficient, it is environmentally conscious with his adaptation to a paperless environment, allowing for secure file transfer. #SaveTheTrees Thank you for your outstanding service, Bryce.
BCE is the place to go. 100%. We outsourced all our accounting , bookkeeping and payroll this year for Summit Exteriors. Bryce and Hailey have helped us figure out legalities of our business, have run a perfect payroll each week, and sat down with us to plan ahead for the future. Friendly and knowledgeable. Biggest compliment to them is that I've never called and not had them pick up, they are on it. We look forward to continuing our work relationship for years to come.
Working with Bryce is always a pleasure, we?ve been working with him for five years and hope continue our business relationship. The online portal is very convenient, which makes it easy to upload documents on your own time and convenient.
Bryce is awesome! He really knows the complex world of Taxes and is always responsive and available. As a business owner, he does a great job working with all his clients and focusing on future growth, bottom line, along with other great techniques and write-offs.
We started working with Bryce last year. We found out this year that he relocated to another state. So I started calling around locally to see if I could use someone else. Nobody I contacted was better qualified than Bryce. Plus, they were much more costly and required multiple visits to complete our return. So we worked with Bryce through a secure portal. He made everything simple and stress free at a price I could not beat. I will not be calling anyone else again. He is stuck with us!
I would think twice about using BCE for your tax needs. I used him for several year but as soon as we had a problem with are taxes he dropped us so fast we couldn't even blink. Said we were on our own. If he tells you he backs his work you better get it in writing.
Bryce and his team are amazing to work with. The utmost professionalism and great communication for helping a growing business and family tax situation! 5/5 all the time!
When you need your taxes done correctly Bryce is your guy! He is very professional. When I moved Bruce did an audit of my previous tax returns and realized that they were filled incorrectly. Bruce took his time to help me file the corrections and made sure I got the best return possible. If you want a professional, accurate, thorough and detailed oriented CPA, BCE is the right choice!
Bryce likes to have a good time and makes taxes a breeze. He has helped me on a few businesses as well as personal taxes and is a wealth of knowledge. You don't have to be intimidated with tax season when you work with Bryce, he finds the breaks and gets you the most money back! Thanks BCE Accounting & Tax!!
Bryce has been amazing! He and his staff are great to work with. Very detail oriented and knowledgeable. I am relieved to have their professional help every year.
Bryce at BCE Accounting was delightful to work with. He was professional and easy to contact via email. He asked questions to make sure we we?re getting the highest return possible and gave us advice to maximize our return in the future. Thank you for making e-filing our income taxes so easy.
We came to Bryce feeling very overwhelmed with back taxes. He helped us quickly and efficiently. He is always quick to respond and did a great job getting us up to date and now helping yearly with MUCH less stress.
Bryce is top notch!! Recently I was in a situation where I needed tax advice quickly before selling some investment properties and was not able to reach my normal accountant. I looked online and found 3 accounting and tax companies in my area, called and left messages for all of them, hoping someone would get back to me asap. Even though I wasn't a client yet, Bryce was the only one that called me back. I have been a client since then. He is super quick, very knowledgeable regarding rental properties,
Bryce has been doing our taxes for several years. We've always been satisfied with his service. Professional, fast and responsive. 100% my wife and I recommend him.
Bryce has been doing my taxes for years, and he is excellent to work with. He is also available throughout the year for any questions I had. He is quite knowledgeable in his area of expertise and I have referred him to several individuals throughout the years. I recommend him highly for all tour accounting needs! #twothumbsup - Sammie
Taxes are never an enjoyable experience for me. However, Bryce makes the experience easier and less painful than all the other avenues we've taken before him. Bryce does an exceptional job making it as seamless and easy as possible. Thanks Bryce!
We have been going to BCE Accounting the last 3 years and its always been a great experience. Bryce and his team are quick to get back to you with any questions or concerns you might have. They have treated us like family! We don't trust anyone else to do our taxes :)
Bryce is a pleasure to work with and a wealth of knowledge. He has been avaliable everytime we need help with our business finances. Definitely one of the best CPA's in Sandpoint!
I've been going to Bryce for about 2 years now and he's always made it easy and stress free when preparing my taxes everytime. Always professional and pleasant to work with. He is thorough and explains the process well. I would definitely recommend him. ??????
I've been going to Bryce and BCE for a few years now for financial guidance and my yearly taxes. The professionalism and attention to detail is great! Anytime I have a question, I always get a prompt and detailed response. The best part for me working with BCE is the peace of mind I get knowing that my taxes are always done right and professionally. I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND their services to others!
Update 3/13/2021: Another fantastic year with great service! Pretty cool that even though we are inTacoma, WA, he is still available to us from Idaho! From 2019 Tax year: Very happy with our continued use and support of BCE for tax preparation! Using the online tax organizer from their website is super convenient and easy to complete. Bryce is readily available for any questions and had our taxes completed by the next day. Hardest part of the whole process was scanning our tax docs...lol
I have been using Bruce's services for over 6 years now. He gives fantastic, knowledgeable help and replies quickly. I've never had a reason to be dissatisfied with his work, and it's way simpler to have him figure out everything to do with my small business then to muddle through myself! Highly recommend him!
I've worked with Bryce for the past few years and it has been a great experience. The process is easy and convenient getting paperwork to him and he is always willing to explain anything that I may have questions about.
Working with Bryce is so easy and convenient. We don't even live in the same state, but he makes the process so easy. We've only used him for 2 years now, but he is definitely the guy will use every year from here on out.
Bryce is always hepful and on top of all the newest rules and regulations concerning taxes. He is prompt in getting taxes filed once all documents are submitted. I have recommended him to friends and will continue to do so.
Bryce has helped us tremendously with not only our personal but also our business taxes this year! He is very personable and answers any questions you might need! Definitely recommend him for your CPA/accountant!
Bryce is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He takes time to answers our questions and works hard to provide high quality service. He's a great guy to do our work!
Bryce is the best at making sure that you can find every savings when addressing your small business needs like mine. I cannot give a higher recommendation regarding his company to anyone who is seeking accountant services.
Honestly, I picked them based on reviews. Small, not pretentious, nice people. All worth a point. Heres why they get a 2. This year instead of filing my fed & state on the 14th like we discussed (as I owed) they set them up to come out on the 1st and almost $11,000 disappeared from my checking account to the IRS & State of ID. (which left exactly Zero there) right when all the monthly bills hit. I now have a financial mess to try and fix with minimal fees and damage and a lot of work! Someone?s slopp
Second year having our taxes done at BCE Accounting. Great communication while we got everything together and a great meeting with Bryce. We will definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an accountant. Thanks, Bryce.
Bryce Egbert Is great! Highly recommend him to anyone with a business or just standard W2. We used him for both and we are extremely happy we did and are currently using. We will continue to go to Bryce! Thank you Bryce!~

My experience with BCE Accounting has always been great. Bryce is very knowledgeable and patient with all my questions. The process is easy, convenient and a timely turnaround. Highly recommend!
Our fifth year working with Bryce. No matter in person or digitally, he has always help make this an easy and less stressful process. Paying a little more for a tax professional is ok with me, knowing it will be done right the first time.

Working with BCE Accounting has be an amazing experience! I live in another state and always go back to him. His portal and ability to upload documents is user friendly and simple. He is very knowledgeable and always what I have wanted in a professional.

Bryce was recommended by a colleague. Since engaging Bryce I have recommended him to 4 people who have also retained him. Bryce is professional, responsive and has provided excellent advice.

Bryce always makes the process easy and smooth. He also always answers any and all questions we have about our taxes. Thanks for being Awesome Bryce!
To say my finances were a disaster would be an understatement. Hailey has been nothing short of AMAZING!! Helped over the phone (My computer wouldn't let me circle yes and no). She is also setting me up with bookkeeping and ensuring my prior taxes were done correctly (I had my Mom help and she doesn't do taxes). Regardless, from day 1 everything has been beyond my expectations.
We?ve had BCE Accounting doing our taxes for us for the last 5 years. He is very easy to work with, knowledgeable, and prompt. We can rest easy knowing our taxes are completed correctly each year.
BCE Accounting have made the tax reporting and submission process as painless as possible. A joy to work with Bree and Hailey as we worked through the tax issues I had, all online and easy to navigate.
While working with BCE we aren't just another form getting filled out. I know that the team at BCE is truly looking out for our best interest. Excellent service, 100%!
Bryce is knowledgeable, comprehensive, and efficient. It has been a pleasure to trust him with our tax preparation for the past 3 years.
Bryce was there at the beginning of my career change and has been there through the pandemic. He is very professional and keeps my personal taxes on track and he also keeps my small business on track. I could not have been successful without BCE accounting, in my business.
Highly recommended! BCE helps me not only with my yearly taxes but with other accounting and tax questions throughout the year. They also take good care of my personal information, which is very important to me!! Thanks again!!
Bryce is honest, knowledgeable and reliable. He alleviates the worry, stress and headach that tax season brings.

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.
