I have had a really great experience during this year's Tax Season. Ezry and his team have been responsive, patient, and always willing to help. I recommend working with them if you want them to handle your accounting and taxes on your behalf!
Found Bennett accounting & tax LLC,CPA from seeing he was recommended highly from someone off a Facebook page. It was easy to contact the business and the employees. I will continue to use them for my taxes every year. I highly reccomend this business if you?re looking for someone who cares about what they do.
I can't say enough good things about this firm. They are thorough, knowledgeable and available to answer questions. I have just moved here and had a fairly involved tax return for 2024 and they did a fantastic job tying all the strings together. Highly recommend!
It's been great working with Ezry and his colleagues for bookkeeping and tax prep services for our first partial year of operations at our bar. In particular, I appreciate Ezry's willingness to adopt new software (like Shogo) to help us post daily POS entries from Toast to Quickbooks. Looking forward to 2025.
Ezry and his team were incredibly helpful in navigating my tax options, providing clear guidance every step of the way. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable CPA.

We had Bennett accounting do an amended return since we received a K1 after we submitted our taxes. We had some issues with communication and Bennett explaining the time frame and how long it would take to get the return done, sent, and hearing back from the IRS and State. I did a review earlier that was not favorable and Ezry reached out so we could discuss. Ezry made everything right with us. One of the issues was interest that accrues daily from the IRS. We weren't informed of it, and Ezry said the IRS d
Bennett Accounting is the absolute best! Ezry handles my taxes and he is extremely professional and timely. I would recommend Bennett Accounting to anyone who wants a good experience and the job done right!
Ezry navigated me through the ever-confusing world of taxes with expert care and precision. His patience and ability to simplify and explain complex matters are simply unmatched.
I'm usually dreading and pushing off taxes because It's such a pain. Since going to Ezry, now I'm looking forward to the next tax season.
As a new, young business owner, I was very worried about the whole tax process with my business. However, they guided through the whole process, and took care of me very professionally. Highly recommend.
Excellent services. Attentive, personable, honest, and truly caring about our product. I highly recommend this team!
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.
