My husband and I have used Dyer & Associates for tax preparation for the last three tax years. We are very happy with the level of personal care and attention paid to our tax situation. In particular, the detailed explanation Jason provided to us a couple of years regarding how we would be impacted by the 2018 tax reforms was extremely helpful. Also, Jason makes it very easy to provide our documentation and later receive the returns to be filed, which is a major time saver for us. We will continue to use Dy

I have had our taxes prepared for years by Jason Dyer.

So very thankful God led me to Jason and Penny Dyer. Due to years of procrastination I found years of taxes had not been completed. The integrity, attention to details and personal support was more than a blessing, it was a huge weight off my shoulders, even though a lot is owed, I can now get back on track. Thanks to the both of you.
I used Dyer & Associates last year and decided to go with them again this year. When I reviewed the return that he prepared this year, there was an expense entry on the Schedule C he prepared for me that appeared fabricated. It has since been determined that he simply misread the information I provided. However, when I first brought the apparent fraudulent entry to Mr. Dyer?s attention and told him that I didn?t have confidence in him or the return he had prepared due to this primary issue and several othe
Jason knows his stuff and relates to the non-accountant type like me very well. I really appreciate the honest look at my situation and his rock solid advise. But most of all he is personable and a pleasure to just hang out with.
My business partner and I own 2 companies, my wife and I own 2 others and our personal business can be rather complicated at times. Jason Dyer goes above and beyond to ensure we are within all legal limits of the state and Federal laws, and makes absolutely we are prepared for any changes.

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.
