One of the worst accounts in the business. We had business with him for multiple years and he got us tied in with huge penalties and Interest. He cheats, lies and even stole some of our refund money. I am writing a report to the better business bureau, this man does not belong in any business. We called his offices multiple times to no avail- he does not answer calls or emails. He cost us thousands of dollars and we just do not have it like that- or no where to turn. He belongs selling use cars or som

This firm has ended my tax nightmares. I have been a loyal customer for years and have never an issue. I highly recommend them for all of your accounting needs.

If I could give more stars I would. I took a chance on this company 3 years ago when my accountant joined their firm. My tax return was completed within 24 hours of submitting my documents for review. The system was user friendly and easy to navigate. They were there to answer any question you had within minutes and I never had to even make a phone call. I will be using them for all future business.

Edwin is the best. He?s knowledgeable , thorough and very caring. I?m not terribly computer savvy, but he talked me through the process and made it so easy. He makes himself available at a moment?s notice. He had our returns filed in no time at all. His wife/partner is always available, too. Their combined efforts make filing taxes ?almost? pleasant.

Edwin is very knowledgeable and up to date on all the tax laws and changes. I trust his expertise on filing my taxes each year. So happy I found an excellent account to work with. Thanks Edwin.

Great experience with Edwin. We were dealing with a stressful situation coming from our previous tax preparer. Ed took the time to meet with us in person & answered all our questions. Absolutely love the system he uses to communicate & send files, great approach to using technology to facilitate this process!

Highly recommend! Service is second to none! I have not been the most organized and punctual person to work with through the years but always met with patience and understanding from Edwin and Elise. I never feel like a bother. Edwin makes the process simple, easy, accurate and fast!

Uploaded all my tax documents late but Edwin filed an extension. Never heard from him since. Reached out three times since then to see what the next steps were but he ignored my messages. This left me scrambling to find a new accountant. Extremely unprofessional.

Have been working with Eddie since 2018, him and his team are amazing! Always super helpful and informative ! Very professional and timely ! Can?t say enough positive things, they really make tax season way less stressful!

Edwin Casanova has cost our business thousands of dollars and unnecessary penalties. We were penalized by our bank which also threaten us to be on default on our mortgage loan because of this firms lack of efficiency in providing basic financial statements review after accepting the job. We have also been waiting for 6 months on a promised refund as he agrees they were at fault and he understood the distress that the situation had caused to our business, but as expected he hasn?t fulfilled that promise j

Very upset when we paid him to do company taxes and come to find out they were never filed. Reached out multiple times and never get a call back or answer. Files late and doesn?t keep you updated on anything. Very disappointing and now leaving me scrambling to fix the mess that was made.

We have been going to Eddie for tax purposes for years now and the services have always been great. He always makes sure to explain everything in detail when something is unclear to us. Eddie is very flexible and accommodating with his time and always willing to help. Very professional environment and I would highly recommend using him for all of your accounting needs.

Edwin is the best of the best! His professionalism can't be beat. He is super efficient and a pleasure to work with. I've been going to him for years. I highly recommend him for your personal or business accounting and tax return needs.

Edwin is a great accountant with a wealth of knowledge. Even when my husband and I stare at him with a glazed look of confusion over our faces, he?s able to explain what he?s doing or what needs to be done in a way that we can understand. Which is exactly what we need, because we have no idea what we?re doing when it comes to taxes. If you?re like us, and you need to adult every once in a while, call Edwin and he?ll help you out. 5 stars, recommend.

We have been working for 4 years now and he is always patient when walking us through the tax process and when gathering the proper info. Be confident that he will always keep your company?s best interest at heart.

Eddie has always gone above & beyond year after year! As a self employed person, with complex taxes, Eddie is always knowledgeable and super helpful with all the ins and outs of all things tax related! He is highly, highly recommended.

He also helped digitize my books via quickbooks which has made bookkeeping much more efficient. I highly recommend Edwin whether you need personal and/or business tax help!

I have been doing my taxes with Eddie for 3 years now. He has helped me, my husband, and our business tremendously. I know I can always contact him with any questions. He has also been extremely helpful during COVID. I trust him with all of my business taxes and wouldn?t go to anyone else. The best!

No need to go elsewhere for your tax prep needs. Edwin is fast, efficient, and really knows his stuff. He found tax savings I would have never have realized if I was preparing my taxes by myself. Highly recommended.

Professional, thorough and excellent communication throughout the process. All questions are answered quickly and completely. I have been using the services at Edwin Casanova, CPA PC for several years and the experience has been the same each year.

Eddie and Elise have been great to us. He always answers any of my questions in a timely manner. He is patient and explains everything in detail. I know we are in good hands with them, and that is why we come back every year.

Excellent service all the time very professional and very knowledgeable thanks always.

Highly recommend Eddie and his team, they are so professional, organized, and go above and beyond for their clients. I found them at a crucial time in my new business, my accountant had passed away from Covid and they helped me navigate through that time with such compassion. I?ve learned so much how to grow my business and my nonprofit from them. Highly recommend - they are the best around!

Great, convenient service. A true professional with experience east use platform.

I'm giving Eddie and Elise 4 stars because they are good people but with the new system there was a severe lack of communication this year. Every time we called the answering service said someone would call us back and no one ever did. I would much rather have an in person appointment where there is no confusion. Trying to scan things and not knowing what was needed and not getting return calls made the virtual approach just extremely stressful. Then on top of it, this year they added a "fee" that they neve

I would highly recommend Edwin. I called him the night before my deceased fathers taxes were due and he got right on it. We did everything electronically. He is very compassionate and thorough. Kept me updated the entire time. Ive never met a cpa like him and will be using him from now on. He also takes many forms of payment which is very convenient and his prices are very reasonable. Thank you Edwin for making a stressful situation go very smoothly!

Elise and Edwin were wonderful to work with. We had a unique situation in which they were able to help answer our questions fast and effectively, and really took a lot of stress off of us. I would use them 100000%!

Last year the firm did a great job Eddie was very responsive very helpful and his prices were fair. This year Not great at all. I gave them my taxes well before the deadline I believe it was March 15 I have not heard anything back. I?ve made phone calls and sent emails nothing. I have no idea if they filed an extension at this point . Every time I call the answering service says either he is not in today or let me see if he can talk. Never available. This is totally unlike them. If there?s a problem y

After 6 years of going to the same accountant I decided to change. We met with Edwin for the first time today and in the first 15 minutes we were hooked! He was kind, respectful, honest and beyond helpful. He took so much time with me and my husband and in the end I had no idea how much I was getting screwed the years before. Because of Edwin I got back almost double because he took the time and asked me questions!! This was a blessing thank you Edwin!!!

I?ve been doing my taxes here for 3 years and absolutely excellent service! I don?t like just anyone into my finances but Edwin is trustworthy and professional which has allow me to trust him and his company. I highly recommend his services.

Edwin genuinely looks out for my best interests as someone launching a new small business, and offers more than just accounting services. He is supportive and offers tips for success. Thanks Eddie!

Eddie by far is one of the best CPAs I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. So much that now he is the only accountant that handles all of my business and personal finances on a monthly basis. If it wasn?t for Eddie I would?ve paid so much money in taxes that I probably would not have been in business much longer. From the staff in his office to his own personal touch he is amazing in every way. Eddie thank you for always being there when we need. You will always get my Referal.

Mr. Casanova is such a competent, polite professional who I put my faith in with no doubts or reservations to do my 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.
