Customer Reviews

If I could give her more stars I would! Edith has been so helpful from the very beginning, it really was a desperate call for help. She came in and educated us in the things we were doing right, wrong and things that needed change for the better of our business. It hasn't been an easy road as a business owner. I can honestly say that having Edith a call away is always reassuring when it comes to making financial decisions that could affect our business. She is always so helpful, honest but mostly she is k

Edith is so kind and knowledgeable. She patiently gathered all the nuances of my business so she had a full understanding of the nature of my business before even taking me as a client. She helped me understand everything from my budget to tax categories and everything in between. She explained where I had made mistakes in my bookkeeping in the past and how I could correct it for the future. She spends time with me and makes me feel like I'm her only client when we're working on something. I completely trus

There are two types CPAs out there. There are the individuals who see you as a number to do your taxes and make a quick buck. The other type of individual is an educator and a servant leader. Edith is the latter. Edith takes the time to educate all of her clients specifically with what their needs are. In my case, she helped me and my wife with our business taxes. She was exceptionally professional and taught us things that not only helped us immediately but will save us countless time and money in the fut

I like Edith. She?s very knowledgeable and professional. As a millennials, I like the fact that she does everything online. I did come to meet her in person as this year is the first time I work with her. I had a lot of questions and she was so patient answering and explaining things to me. Her tax return report has some extra information; one of them is the charts showing how much your total income and your tax is. She always does a little bit extra to serve her customers. She told me she even filed tax fo

I highly recommend Edith as your CPA. I had another CPA/bookkeeper that was difficult to deal with and they didn't seem to understand or care about my concerns. I decided to search for another CPA and met Edith through a referral networking group. After about an hour of talking, Edith had given me answers and guidance on several issues that I had spent months trying to get answers on. The peace of mind I have that my business finances are being reviewed by such a skilled and professional CPA has made a trem

Five stars for an amazing CPA. ?????????? I used to go with an accountant for three years. Every time I needed something from her she would never help me out. One day I decided I needed a change, she was not meeting my expectations any longer. That day, I found Edith on google, she had really good reviews. Since the first day I met her, I knew she would be the CPA that I would choose (I had interviewed several). She took the time to explained sooooo many questions I had. I for once felt comfortable to ask a

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.
