Rolando's expertise in credit repair was evident, and he provided personalized strategies that were tailored to my specific needs. Throughout the process,

Being in Real Estate it's always really imperative to have solid and genuine connections. Everything from your title rep to a credit repair company. I came across Jose in a Real Estate Facebook group and reached out to him since he seemed like a genuine person and was very informative. From my first interaction with Jose, I was impressed that he picked up his phone or would text me back right away if he couldn't talk. Jose was always readily available and always greeted you with kindness. Jose went above an
I couldn't be more disappointed in this company. After I was told month after month that good things could happen and it's been over a year with no change. I've had to hound them to get a response and it's just some copy and pasted answer every time and when I did talk to someone it's was vague answers and that left more questions. It got to the point where Rolando told me that they would issue a refund if they didn't get any results this past month and now I can't get ahold of anyone. I have filed complain
Back in August 2024 I left a very negative review for Elite Credit Group, LLC. Particular responsiding to the service I received from the Owner Rolando Castro. Yes the review of non rendered services is true. But everyone in life has a different choice of what path they choose. Directing my anger at this person of my experience, may not quit have been fair to the Company as a whole. So I'm giving Elite Credit Group a 3 star rating noting that improvements can & should be made.Other individuals using Elites

Great company to work with! Highly recommend working with Rolando and his team. They broke it down step by step and helped me improve my credit within months.
I really enjoyed working with Jose at Elite Credit. They helped me clean up my credit so I can buy a home. This is not an overnight process so you have to have patience, but it does get done.
Rolando and his team at Elite Credit Group, Inc are simply the best hands down! I have already sent him referrals. If you are needing credit repair from a reputable company, you have arrived, look no further. They simply get you results. As a mortgage and real estate guy, I will be sending all of my credit challenged clients here as well. Thanks Rolando!

Disappointed with the Service and Lack of Transparency I had a very disappointing experience with Elite Credit Group, Inc. After reaching out to them for help with improving my credit, I was given vague promises about what they could achieve, but I needed more actual guidance. Communication was inconsistent, and it often took a long time to get a response whenever I had questions. In the end, the whole process felt more like a sales pitch than genuine credit counseling. I would caution others to ask detai
Appreciate all the work they have done and with the results so far, its all about patience and let them be the professionals they are and best @ what they do?
Elite Credit Group is the place if you need guidance to repair your credit and change your life around to achieve those impossible dreams we truly desire and don't obtain because of past mistakes or just not understanding credit fully. The staff are nice and easy going they work with you all the way to your journey. They give free estimates with no obligation of selling you a product but to give you hope. The hope they gave me restored my credit and now I'm able to purchase anything at lower interest rates.
Working with Rolando Castro was a game-changer. He made the credit repair process simple and stress-free. I saw improvements within weeks. Highly recommend Elite Credit Group to anyone needing credit repair.

Scammed out of my money and no recourse. Rolando gave me a bad vibe the moment we had our first call, unprofessional and lacking knowledge. Then he decided to accept payment and run away
Elite Credit Group really helped me fix my credit up to buy a home. I'll definitely recommend them to my family.
Less than 6 months they deleted all blemishes on my credit. I couldn't believe it.
The owner of this entity takes your personal information and then ghosts you. Business is not BBB accredited. BEWARE!
Very Helpful & Always Very Professional...Thx Elite Credit Group Inc.

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.
