Champion tax service is the best ever. Andre is by far the best tax consulting came across, I refer so many people to him and no one has complained yet everything is very fast and speedy and everyone in his office is extremely friendly and very professional and keeps it real all day long for real for real on the gang. I will never go to another tax service as long as I work in fact my daughter is about to start working and she's not going nowhere but to champion tax service thank you Andre you are the best

I have trusted Andre to do my taxes for a few years and he has always made sure everything gets done. He asks all the right questions and takes the time with his clients. He still stays connected with his clients by sending newsletters to keep us up to date. I am so happy my friend referred me to Andre who is well educated and up to date to give us the best service. Highly recommend.

My husband and I have used Champion Tax Service for the past 2 years and Andre gets it right EVERYTIME! We were referred to him from a friend after a bad experience with another agency that we didn't trust enough to move forward and file with. BEST decision ever. I appreciate being able to email or call Andre throughout the year to help with any questions. He always follows up quickly. I was grateful to pay it forward by referring my parents the following year. Thank you Andre and Champion Tax Service team

I?m so happy I was referred to Andre for assistance with my taxes. He made the process so easy. I brought him all my documents and he even took the time to point out some key items that I was missing. He is very thorough and takes his time during the appointment. I never feel rushed. He seems to always be up to date on the ever changing tax laws which is so helpful. He takes the time to send out emails throughout the year to point out any key changes so that his clients are informed. I have been a client f

I've been doing my own taxes for a few years, using a very well known online service until I could no longer finish and file a prior year return that I had sat on because of personal issues. I walked into Champion Tax Service's offices without an appointment and spoke with Andre for about 10 minutes and was so impressed with his professionalism that I made an appointment and boy am I glad I did. Thanks to Andre I can sleep better knowing my taxes are in good hands.

Andre is excellent. He works diligently to make sure that you get every tax credit possible. He is truly a magician! I highly recommend him.

I've had some bad past experiences with tax professionals not doing my taxes correctly. All that stopped when I got in touch with Jonathon at Champion Tax Service. Since the first day as his client, he's been professional and informative. Great service and expertise.

My brother referred Andre to me a while back, and I?m glad he did. Andre provided a seamless experience and I was more than happy with the results. I highly recommend Champion Tax Service and will do to my close colleagues. Thanks for the work.

I went to Champion Tax for the first tine this year for tax season 2019- it was the best experience ever! I?ll admit it had a lot of fear because I had dealt with my previous tax man for the past almost 20 years and only changed because he retired. I?ve never had someone else?s retirement affect me in such a positive way! If I?d known how efficient Andre Sugars was I?d have made the switch YEARS ago, seriously. My refund was even better this year due to his knowledge of write offs that I guess were complete

I?ve been filling Taxes with Andre for years, he has always been very helpful and knowledgeable. Explaining and guiding me through things I am unaware of. His work ethic and having his clients best interest in mind. Your services are very Much appreciated ! Thank you.

Andre Sugars has been doing our taxes for years. He always gets us a great return in an honest and legal way, but he does so much more. When we first started seeing him he helped us with our goals: saving to buy a house and maximizing our return. Through the years our goals have changed. He has advised us through it all - buying and selling houses, small business questions, and now navigating through this pandemic.

I use to get my taxes done at H&R Block until one year I just didn't agree w/what I was getting back. I snatched up my paperwork and I've been with Champion Tax Services every since, about 20 years now.

I had very good feelings about this Tax Preparer when I heard people at my job saying he was very a ?Legit? guy when it comes to doing taxes (since Andre Sugars was a former employee). So I went ahead and took the advice from many. When I came in for my appointment I was getting checked in by the lady in the front desk. I first asked how much I would be charged for the entire preparation and was told ?It?s usually a small fee, but it can be payed

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.
