Dennis is outstanding. Not only does he know his stuff he is very caring and willing to take the time to answer questions. His customer service is second to none. Also, his staff are very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Dane Tax Solutions.

Dennis is awesome! He took extra time with me on the phone to discuss my questions & best next steps. I would highly recommend Dane Tax Services to anyone looking for assistance with taxes - personal or business.

Dennis and his team are excellent at what they do! They?re honest and proficient with their work! I?ve known Dennis for 23 years and his integrity has been solid in the beginning and is solid today. As a business owner, they saved me thousands of dollars and I recommend them 100%. They catch things that the common person would over look or not know, and it saves you thousands. Don?t pay the IRS any more than you have to. Be confident that your taxes are done with utmost professionalism and integrity with Da

I've had my taxes prepared by Dennis Dane for the last two years. Prior to using Dane Tax I had used other tax preparation companies, both small and big names. None of them have come close to the level of attention to detail that Dennis has provided. He's very thorough and his assistant Chloe is just amazing to work with! I've definitely learned a lot from Dennis on how to better manage my tax/pretax contributions throughout the year as well. All around it's amazing service and support from the Dane Ta

I highly recommend Dane Tax services. We've used them for the last 3 years. Friendly, competent and fast. Their office administrator, Pamela, is a blessing to interact with. Dennis easy to connect with.

We've trusted Dennis with our taxes for almost a decade now, and every year we're more thankful for his tax skills and integrity. He came well recommended by others we knew, and after using his services for the first couple years, we started recommending him to our own friends and family. He's consistently fast and accurate, but probably the best benefit he provides is an insane depth of knowledge. He's found helpful ways for us to keep more of the money we make because he knows taxes better than anyone we

We have been using Dane Tax Solutions since moving to New Hope in 2018. Dane and his entire tax experts have been wonderful to work with. This past year, we had a situation with the IRS where our 2021 refund was in limbo. Dane and team really went out of their way to get this issue resolved. I recommend to anyone needing an accountant to file their taxes.

We've used Dane Tax Solutions for the last few years and the experience has been excellent. Dennis not only answers our questions during tax season and has prepared our taxes without problems but he's available all year when questions come up. I have recommended him to friends and colleagues and will continue to do so.

Dennis is gifted in his income tax knowledge. I appreciate him very much. He has helped me plan ahead to minimize my income tax liability and also quickly made accurate amended returns, when I tried to do to much on my own !! I trust Dennis completely, as he has greatly helped me with longer term tax minimizing strategies AND implement appropriate approaches with income tax law changes. I highly recommend Dennis for providing prompt, accurate income tax services. I also consider him a great role model

Dennis has been doing our taxes for over 12 years. He's professional, knowledgeable, understanding and takes the time to get to know each one of his clients. He's always willing to answer the phone and answer any question we may have during the calendar year regarding our taxes. He's helped provide us with early projections regarding our taxes. I'd highly recommend Dennis.

Dane Tax Solutions has been an invaluable resource for many years. Dennis is always quick to respond to questions and he offers great input which has been a tremendous blessing. His tax expertise in both personal and business tax issues is unmatched. Dane Tax Solutions is a reliable organization and I trust them without hesitation.

Dennis and his team have always been incredibly helpful and supportive. As a new small business owner, there was so much I needed to learn about legalities, and Dennis has always been willing to answer questions, no matter how many I have! He continues to offer tons of guidance and suggestions to help streamline my workflow and tax documentation. I highly recommend them as they are welcoming, accessible and friendly.

Dennis Dane and the Dane Tax team have taken care of our business tax returns and personal tax returns for many years, six years now. My wife and I appreciate how he is so attentive to the immediate items but also the future tax issues that may come up. I highly recommend Dane Tax to business owners but also for personal tax filings. We rarely have to come to his office as most things are done online but office visits are a joy also. We look forward to next tax season because Dennis has kept an eye on o

My wife and I have worked with Dennis for the past few years (both for our personal taxes as well as my wife's small business). He is very knowledgeable and thorough, and we have been extremely happy with his firm. We would highly recommend Dennis to anyone looking for an excellent tax preparer!

I am a Business Broker with Calhoun Companies and Dennis has done my tax's for several years. He is excellent to work with, highly knowledgeable about the tax code and I have referred him to many of my small business owner clients. If you want the best CPA on your team, contact Dennis Dane today!

Dennis and his team are very easy to work with. They are highly responsive and well versed in the changing tax codes. They kept me informed at every step. As they reviewed my return, they made suggestions and assisted me in limiting my tax liability. Thank you Dennis and team!

Dennis has been doing my taxes for years now and is the only one I trust to get the job done correctly! He is a wonderful guy and Chloe his receptionist is an absolute hoot! I love seeing them every year. Keep up the great work guys.

We?ve used Dennis Dane and his tax team the last couple years and have appreciated their professional demeanor, expedient service, great support with questions and overall ease of their tax services. We appreciate their overall tax support and would recommend their services to others.

What kind of business takes $1600 and then ignores you when questions arise about their shoddy work? Downsizing a business? Don?t expect any return calls. Revenue down? Don?t expect any return calls. Heaven forbid you get in a life-altering car accident or come down with cancer. Once Dennis concludes you may be less of a cash cow in the future, Dane Tax Solutions will ignore all calls (after taking your money). Save yourself a major headache and find an accountant of good character rather than a narcissis

Dennis. A big thanks to Alice and Cheryl for the outstanding job in preparing my taxes for 2020. Their instructions are so easy to understand and follow and definitely make my job simple with respect to filing. They are a great team and will continue to be my go-to people for taxes. Sincerely, Bob Wadsten Golden Valley, MN

I cannot tell you how grateful I am for Alice at Dane Tax Services. I opened a small business before the pandemic hit and as someone who has never run my own company, Alice has been there for me every time I have questions and saved me SO much in taxes this year! Just to see, I did a little experiment and ran the numbers on Turbo Tax (what I was using before) even after I pay my fee, Alice got me an extra $1,400 dollars over the online option. This might not seem like a lot, but for a brand new small busin

Greatest CPA firm I've ever been to! They listened to my concerns and took care of me. The prices are more than fair for the amount of work they do. They saved me tons of money, and I know I'm in great hands when I go to Dane Tax Solutions. The people working here are dedicated. Thank you guys!!

I don?t like leaving negative reviews, but as a professional business your communication and promptness is a must. I had a scheduled Saturday consultation for 10am. My wife, 6 month old son, and I waited in the parking lot from 9:50am to 10:10am. The doors were locked, parking lot empty. No one ever showed so we a voicemail and left to continue with our errands for the day. I then receive an email at 10:30 stating that I was expected to meet at 10am. I was there, they weren?t. We really wanted to support a

I have used H&R block every years since I started working. This year i decided to branch out and try someone local. The difference was unbelievable. It has always felt like a chore that needed to get done. But the personal care and customer service Dane provided was something I never associated with filing taxes. Would highly recommend! The staff are friendly and you feel like a customer not just a task to complete.

We made an appointment to come in. They were excited to meet us. I told them we have a simple 1040 with a schedule c. They told us to bring it in and they could then quote us a price. We went in and she strong armed us about what we currently were paying to have taxes done, which was $135. She then had to talk to her boss, Dennis, came back after a few minutes and said we would charge $700. They lied because they didn't want our business. We are african american. No one charges that much. We had a business

Dennis is the best. Very responsive and helpful. My business has been using him for 4 years now!

Dennis is great at what he does. He does more than just taxes, he advises us on all financial matters. We love the feeling of confidence we have, knowing our taxes are always done correctly.

Dane Tax Solutions is a true five star company. I have been a client for years now and they are simply fantastic to work with.

Dane Tax did our taxes this year and he did a wonderful job! Very professional, thorough, and made the process very easy. We will be back!

Nothing is more important than having peace of mind during Tax season. And that's exactly what you get by having an expert CPA like Dane Tax. Super friendly staff, very knowledgeable and always ready to answer all of your questions.

Dennis has done my taxes for several years. He is always professional, communicates with me as a client, and is always timely.

I called and explained my situation, Alice was upfront and offered me options for my situation. Knowledge that others charge for! She even offered to email me the information to direct me in the right direction. Thank you, Alice.

Best accountant. Been our tax man for years. Highly recommend to anyone that isn't satisfied with their current accountant.

Very professional yet maintain a friendly atmosphere. He is very thorough and his office has wonderful staff. I strongly recommend without reservation.

Far to expensive for personal taxes

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.
