I had the pleasure of meeting Tonya through a mastermind and again at a conference. Her commitment to continued education and serving her clients at the highest level is unmatched. She truly leads with purpose and passion.
First, I would like to say: Thank you for making filing easier. How nice would it be to be able to actually have a conversation first explaining what you want as a customer and then listening to what Tonya can help you with. We are all in this together, each and every one of us has a different story, I am so glad that you have been able to explain all of the unknown ways of making this such a smooth transaction, I call this definitely working as a TEAM!!! Thank you again for doing such a great job! #Tax
I contacted Tonya to help me with my Taxes and at first she was very responsive. It has been months since I sent her my Tax documents and payment and I have not gotten a response for months now. I called several times with no response, takes her several weeks to reply to email. Because of her I already missed all the Tax deadlines. Under any circumstances the least I expect from a professional is communication. I went to her physical location and I was informed she only use that address for her mails! Hope
Working with Tonya at Double A Solutions LLC was a pleasure, she is very professional and knowledgeable.

As my family's tax preparer for the past 15 years, Tonya's knowledge and expertise with new tax codes and laws are impeccable. I can honestly say, in short order, If it hadn't been for her tenacious energy to dig deep into the numbers, I really don't know what my finances, my portfolio would look like without her advice and help. She's a godsend. Professional. Thoroughly skilled. And genuinely concerned for your financial health. Her advice has made me a better steward of my finances. Thank you, TK

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.
