Helen was absolutely outstanding! She was incredibly friendly and made me feel at ease right away. Most importantly, she was very efficient in resolving my issue?everything was handled quickly and professionally. I truly appreciated her help and would highly recommend her!
I rarely write reviews, but Helen at CorpNet absolutely deserves the recognition. She was friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to help me out. It wasn't the usual helpdesk experience?it actually felt like someone was genuinely invested in making things right. Helen was patient, thorough, and clearly knows her stuff. I really appreciated her support and professionalism.
CorpNet helped me with tax registration. Something that is usually very confusing for me and makes me very uncomfortable was made super easy with the help of the friendly staff. They were always readily available and willing to answer any questions I have. Shout out specifically to Helen who was incredibly helpful and friendly! She solved a problem for me that no one else could figure out!
I have been a CorpNet customer for almost a decade. All of my corporations have been professionally, rapidly, excellently, and exclusively created by the Best people and company in the business. Absolutely no need to look elsewhere for all of my corporations creations. I've referred very demanding personalities from various business backgrounds. All have been well impressed by the work of CorpNet. Definitely deserves a six out of five Stars. Thank You Immensely for Everything CorpNet!!
CorpNet?and Helen in particular?have been a tremendous help! The customer service has been absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for the outstanding support!
CorpNet is incredible if you want a company that takes pressure off of you with their knowledgeable helpful team. This company is efficient in setting up ,filing taxes, annual reports and keeping your company ,non-profit compliant. Customer service and satisfaction is A+ with the CorpNet team reaching out to you with any questions or needs. You can rest easily knowing they do things the right way.
Helen was quite helpful. I was lucky enough to reach her on the chat button and when I called in, Helen answered my call. She helped me with some of the information I needed and gave me guidance on how to find the rest of the information. Very pleasant and efficient.
Amazing business for getting all your corporate compliance done. Great customer service as well. I called and was helped by a great customer support rep Helen H. She fixed all my Delaware entity issues and was a pleasure to work with. Her and the rest of the CorpNet team are great!
"The representative was very attentive and respectful regarding my issue. She clearly explained the situation and assured me that it will be corrected. I was informed that I will receive an update in a few days, which I really appreciate."
I had the pleasure of working with Helen at Cornet, and I can't say enough good things about her. She helped me navigate the complexities of my state tax filings and took the time to walk me through how to access and manage my information. What's usually a confusing and frustrating process became smooth and stress-free, all thanks to her patience, clarity, and professionalism. Helen made it easy?truly top-notch support!
Helen H. was great! I'd been trying to get our company registration squared away for about 8 weeks. She was able to take care of it in 15 minutes...KUDOS to Helen H!
Nyia was a pleasure to work with while she was helping me with our account registration in a different state. We had issues since we already had an account set up previously and she gave me a better phone number to call, their hours of operation, and hopefully I will get this issue resolved quicker because of her input and help.
Was able to obtain my VA employer account number and tax ID for Virginia for my new VA employee. Found company via Gusto. Had some issues seeing these numbers via the website and Bethany helped get them resolved, but provided the numbers as soon as called.
Helen Huckeba is a superstar! I had to register our business through CorpNet and the process was very smooth. I received an email that there was missing information on the application. Called CS and worked with Helen to get connected our account, identify the missing information, and got it updated in just minutes. She was friendly, personable, and super helpful. I need to add another state in the next couple weeks and glad to be working with CorpNet on that state registration.
Helen was great at helping me wade through all different states we are registering for. CorpNet is great, in general, but Helen really gives them the first rate rating for being helpful, patient and getting all the answers I needed - and having a great personality to boot. Thank you, Helen, for all your help!
Helen could not have been more helpful! She walked me through getting set up and there is no way I could have done it without her! Kathy was also helpful the other day, but due to security constraints she couldn't help me. 10/10 helpful ladies! Edited to say Destani is amazing also. I always get the BEST people on the phone to help!
Helen H. was a huge help with a confusing circumstance. She resolved my issue with kindness and grace and walked me through the next steps, giving me peace of mind. Many thanks, Helen!
Great customer service, I would highly recommend CorpNet. It is extremely easy to talk to a real person and your account manager over the phone or on chat. CS is always knowledgeable and helpful too. My account manager is Sarah Kelly and she has been very kind and patient.
I've worked with CorpNet at 2 different companies now and I am always impressed by their level of service. Their support team really raises the bar on customer service and has always resolved any challenges I was facing in regards to business filings. Recently, Helen and Nancy went above and beyond by providing extra "hand holding" to get me through the hurdle I was facing. They are a true partner.
Helen is INCREDIBLE!!!!! She was so helpful getting our business tax rates figured out for our payroll (which I find to be a very confusing process). I am so thankful for her help this morning. It made my day!! It is refreshing to know some companies still care about customer service!!
Hi! My experience has been amazing! I was supported by Helen, who was kind, patient and supportive during our call! I'm new to this side of my private practice and really anxious; however during our call, there was no such thing as a ?stupid question? and I was instantly at ease! I recommend to anyone!
I've had the pleasure of working with Helen H. multiple times in the last several weeks. She is a pleasure to work with and always gets me and my case moving in the right direction. Helen is always very patient and knows her stuff, always helpful when I call in.
Helen is incredible! So friendly and helpful! I learned of this company through Quickbooks and I will be contacting them directly for future needs! Fantastic team!
Helen was very helpful and informative. She was able to figure out the issues and resolve it quickly. She was warm and took the time to support me. Thanks Helen!
As our company has continued to grow we've hired professionals in other states outside the state of Texas. I contacted CorpNet for assistance. Since the beginning, I've been dealing directly with Heather O'Brien! Heather has been invaluable in assisting with getting us set up in these new states. Her quick, detailed responses are fantastic and her customer service is second to none! She's very detailed in her responses which simplifies the entire process! Heather has been an absolute pleasure to work
This company is amazing their customer support exceeds my expectations. Today I had the pleasure to speak/work with Helen Huckebea I was a bit frantic about an error I caught but needless to say Helen was right on it and contacted a department head and all was resolved same day WOW. Great job Helen.......
After filing with CorpNet for a dissolution of my company, I reached out to their team to confirm that everything was complete and there was no further action needed on my end. I was assured that the dissolution was complete via email response, yet months later I received documentation from the state that proved the dissolution was not complete and there were additional fees and paperwork that needed to be filed. I paid CorpNet over $400 to do a service that wasn't even complete, and I could've just done my
As a CPA, I often have clients who wish to form a new entity or make changes to an existing one. CorpNet has been an invaluable partner and has helped many of my clients. I highly recommend!
I had to make a call I was dreading. I had signed up for my new business for tax registration. Kathy picked up the phone and stayed on the phone until I was able to access my account and provide the missing information. Her voice is very nice and it made me so happy to not feel rushed. I had to leave feedback because more customer service should have this demeanor. Thank you for making life easier Kathy. Her full name- Katherine O'mara - came out on my emails for survey =)
CorpNet was used to set up employees in various states. They did a great job taking care of all that for us and saved me lots of time and energy. And then later, when I called their customer service, not only was the phone actually answered, but I was helped by a woman named Helen, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure that I was taken care of. I highly recommend this company.
Great customer service, I would highly recommend CorpNet. It is extremely easy to talk to a real person and your account manager over the phone or on chat. Helen was great and got my squared away quickly. CorpNet you are the real MVP.
Helen was amazing! I called the company to speak with customer service about some tax information and Helen walked me through every step and was super patient. Honestly some of the best customer service out there!
CorpNet makes everything so easy! I feel reassured and secure knowing that our company is registered and in compliance with multiple states, through CorpNet, and highly recommend their services. Helen H. answered my call for Customer Support and she was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.
Helen was fantastic both with the clear concise next steps necessary to resolve my issues as well as giving me a reassurance this situation does have a resolution in the foreseeable future.
I just got off the phone with Helen H regarding some information i needed on two registrations CorpNet did for our company. she was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. She quickly and professionally answered all my questions. I use CorpNet for all our registrations as they make it real easy to do and the cost to value ratio is well worth it.
I called and was concerned about my State filings. Kathy went above and beyond to inquire on the status of my order. She immediately replied back with a confirmed resolution. I was very please with all the rapid support I was given. Kathy was very professional and handled the situation.
Kathy was incredible and answered all my questions! Corp net is an incredible partner in opening up business structures and understanding all the implications that come with it. The customer support is the best part, they always have the answer or know ther right person who does.
Kathy at CorpNet is WONDERFUL. Not only did she help me solve the problem I came to her with, she looked around the corner and helped me get out in front of additional issues before they became problems. Her proactivity, efficiency, friendliness, and knowledge of the service and platform were top-notch. 10:10
Helen was the greatest. She was able to help me navigate through the website with ease and answered all my questions with confidence.
The CorpNet Receptionists always answer the phone quickly whenever I call. Their staff is always courteous, helpful and pleasant to talk with as they address my Biz problem and answer all of my questions. I don't worry about missing deadlines because they send me timely reminders. I recommend CorpNet to anyone that needs help managing their Biz or company.
I needed some assistance with logging in to the portal after being locked out, Katherine O'mara went above and beyond to help me and also took the time to provide me with the updates I was looking for. There was no wait time to be connected which was also refreshing! Thank you.
We hired CorpNet to provide state filing services for our company. Their process was efficient and completed in record time. Since then, I have had to contact them a few times for additional information or guidance. Each time they have been friendly and helpful, providing the information I needed. Today I contacted them for additional information so I could complete a task. I spoke with Heather who went above and beyond to not only patiently answer all my questions but also took the time to complete the ta
Huge thank you to Helen and Kelcey for helping with my CorpNet and EDD accounts! Kelcey helped set up my account when I first became an employer, and today I was having a difficult time trying to update my tax ID because of a recent business conversion and Helen walked me through the process. Thank you both for being so patient with me!
So far, it's been a fantastic experience! I've interacted with a few people, but Katherine O. really stood out with her incredible communication?whether it's her voicemails, emails, or awesome follow-ups. She's been on point! The responses have been super timely and effective, which I really appreciate. The experience has been overwhelmingly positive. Huge thanks for that!
Katherine O'mara an excellent person at the customer support department . Hope the corpNet department keep more this kind of wonderful person in the company . I would love to recommend more customer to you . Please keep it up such good job. May God continue to bless her and her family . Amiya
Helen was amazing. Quickly helped solve my issue as well as provided me with information I wasn't even aware that I needed. Thank you so much for all your help!
Spoke to Helen Huckeba. She was very patient and kind with the entire process ! 10/10 recommend her. Thank you for all your Helen if you see this ????
I recently worked with Ashley Jones at CorpNet, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional! Ashley went above and beyond to assist me with my DBA filing and promptly addressed all my questions and concerns. She ensured every detail was handled efficiently, from resolving duplicate orders to updating my account information. Her professionalism, kindness, and prompt responses made the entire process seamless and stress-free. I truly appreciate her dedication and willingness to provide clear guidance
Kathy was great! She was so helpful in answering all my questions regarding multiple state tax registrations. She provided great resources for questions she could not answer and overall was a very pleasant person to talk to. I really appreciated her assistance navigating the frustrating world of state tax set up and state gov websites! Thanks again!
Hired them through my payroll provider. Did not interact much but the little I did, they were extremely helpful and pleasant to talk to. They got everything done and accomplished with little effort on my end.
Helen Huckeba is wonderful to communicate with! She attentive and answered all my questions successfully.
Corpnet has been awesome to deal with!!!!! Especially Maxim, Helen and Nyia!!!! I so appreciate all of their help navigating the process!!!!
I purchased the package to assist with setting up payroll tax and the service has been awful. I can't get responses from the person that send me questions. I keep getting responses from different people and it's been about 15 days and I have no state tax information. They keep emailing me to ask to purchase additional services but my initial request isn't complete.
This is a ONE TIME service that files information for payroll taxes. I signed up through Quickbooks who makes it seem like you need to use this service to sign up for the proper account #s to pay your taxes. YOU DON'T. You can file them yourself through your state. Customer service was polite, but confirmed the information above. As a first time business owner who is navigating the many aspects of running a business, this was misleading both from Quickbooks and CorpNet.
CorpNet has only been helpful, responsive and patient in their assistance. Coming into a new job/industry, i've needed a lot of guidance and explanations -- all has been provided as needed with great customer service -- much appreciated!
Great Customer Service today, completing quelling my anxieties around reporting and other compliance issues for the 3 companies CorpNet has serviced over the past 3+ years. CorpNet was recommended to me by a highly trusted CPA and I'm happy to be a client.
Kathy at Corpnet provided great service, making sure my account was in compliance and patiently answering all my questions. It's reassuring to speak with the knowledgeable people at Corpnet and know that your business is a priority for them.
Helen absolutely crushed it for me. I had been struggling to get some info updated and one quick call with her got my question answered, info updated, and process rolling again. Thanks Helen!
corpnet is awesome- the team knows what they are doing and are extremely efficient. i am grateful for this service! Nice work Helen! and Marissa and team!
Helen was amazing, helped me quickly and gave me the info I need. Enjoy conversation and a vital team member.
I recently had the pleasure of interacting with Helen from customer support, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was incredibly friendly and kind from the very start, making me feel valued as a customer. What impressed me the most was her prompt response and dedication to solving my problem. She addressed my needs immediately and worked diligently until the issue was resolved. Helen truly went above and beyond, providing exceptional service. Thank you for such a positive experience!
Helen Huckeba was absolutely incredible. She was kind and helpful and efficient. Everything a business owner could ask for!
I had never heard of this company until setting up a new employee in another state through our payroll partner Gusto. I've appreciated my experience so far and have engaged with a few people. Katherine O., specifically, has had incredible communication that stood out to me immediately (verbal communication by voicemail, written in email and great follow-up). I have appreciated the effectiveness and the timeliness of the responses and reach-outs. Our process isn't complete yet, but my initial experience (wit
Helen Huckeba was exceptional. She was so kind & helped me with the issues I was having. She is an absolute joy to work with. She took the time to fix what needed to be fixed for me, and discovered an error that had prevented me from receiving the correct information. Once that was corrected, everything is going as it should. Helen is a great asset to your team!
Veronica was a breath of fresh air. When you are trying to understand things and need a clear perspective with a soft, patient, and kind tone, it really helps when boggled down with getting things done. Love corpnet reps!
Y'all, Helen was great! Helped me work out my CA tax renewal paperwork I was having trouble with in, like, 5 minutes and was so kind.
The CorpNet team is always so very helpful and proactive in making sure we are doing what we need to stay compliant. Anice and Victoria have been especially helpful!
I worked with Helen H and she was amazing. She was able to answer all my questions quickly and also solve some of my problems. Thanks for such good customer assistance!
CorpNet is Fantastic! It is superfast and responsive, and helped me take care of all the legal and administrative tasks needed! I cannot recommend them enough! Staff were friendly and professional and very, very fast.
CorpNet has excellent customer service, and their reps do all they can to resolve any questions/issues on the first call. Invaluable service.
Helen was super helpful. Answered all my questions and had an awesome attitude. Wish all customer service was this good!
Very helpful! Allowed me to complete my role in obtaining the state tax ID with minimal, clearly explained directions and pertinent information.
CorpNet is thorough and has amazing customer service. I highly recommend using them for state registrations.
Hope Watkins has been very responsive and helpful with the requests from our organization. Highly recommended!
I couldn't be more impressed with the CorpNet team that helped me secure my business licenses! From the very start, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. The entire process was smooth and stress-free, thanks to their thorough guidance and attention to detail. Every question I had was answered promptly, and they went above and beyond to ensure that all the necessary paperwork was completed correctly and on time. Their expertise and dedication saved me so much time and effort. I hig
Helen Huckeba was exceptional. She was so kind & helped me with the issue I was having. It is so nice to have someone who cares & who actually took the time to fix what needed to be fixed for me. She is a great asset to your team! Thank you, Helen.
We used CorpNet to register for our remote employee in Maine, CorpNet completed the request promptly and when we contacted customer support Helen resolved our issue quickly. Great experience, can highly recommend.
Victoria may be the best customer service rep I have experienced with Corpnet. I am so happy I she was involved.
I had the pleasure of working with Katherine O'Mara at CorpNet, and I am so impressed by her exceptional customer service. She was not only professional and efficient in resolving my issue, but also incredibly polite and kind throughout the entire process. Katherine took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made sure all my questions were answered. I'm grateful for her help and highly recommend her for anyone in need of assistance!
I received excellent service from Helen at CorpNet. I am grateful for her expert help and guidance!
I rarely leave google reviews, but this is one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. After ordering express filing services several weeks before my chosen filing date, the team was disorganized in communication and unable to work within the timeline I paid an extra fee for. The team responsible for filing for me would request information, not confirm receipt of said information until days later (after several follow up phone calls and emails from me asking if they had everything they need
I recently had the immense pleasure of working with Helen H. at CorpNet to update our business' billing address across multiple states; Helen was incredibly kind, quick and articulate - she made a daunting situation MUCH easier for our business. Thank you Helen!!
I called after starting a new business to help me with finding certified and official documents. Even though I was on a phone, instead of the computer Katherine O?Mara was able to assist me and was patient with me trying to find certain document. Every interaction so far has been a great experience.
Katherine was very helpful over the phone - we have used CorpNet for several of our business filings and their online portal makes the process very simple.
Helen was great in helping me out and putting me at ease. It was a nice experience. Thank you Helen!
I just hung up with Helen. She was fantastic. I had put in an application a few weeks ago. Missed an email where they needed a little more information. I called in answered one or two questions and everything started rolling again. Super impressed.
By far the best people i have come along. Clean process. Affordable rates. Quick response. gets the job done. Cant get better.
Working through my state filling, called customer support and I was able to resolve the situation in minutes, Helen H was great and very accommodating
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.
