Travis is so accommodating. He got me out of a disastrous situation with Legal Zoom. He also was quick and efficient and answered all my questions. Travis handled all my personal and business taxes. I highly recommend him for all tax services.
Travis is a life saver. Professional, friendly, thorough and fair. After getting quotes to do my business taxes from multiple CPAs, no one even came close to the value Travis offers. Thanks Travis! I'm a client for life!
Travis handled my personal and small business taxes this year and I must say he has a client for life! He was very approachable and extremely knowledgeable in answering my questions and concerns. Any additional questions that arose, Travis was quick to respond either by phone or email. The best part was his personal attention he gave, which was outstanding, and will keep me coming back in the future. If you are looking for tax or accounting services, I would highly recommend this company.
Travis is as good as they come for experience, knowledge and care for his clients. He worked diligently and followed up as he worked all my personal and business taxes. He knows the tax codes and makes sure his clients achieve maximum results. Would highly recommend.
I have worked with Travis for several years now and highly recommend his services. He has handled my personal and business tax returns, which at times have been very complex due to selling and acquiring assets and how that information is communicated to the IRS. I honestly feel like I have my own personal tax expert because he is easy to reach over the phone and quickly responds to my monthly, quarterly and annual tax needs. Thanks Travis.
We hired Elmore Tax & Accounting to handle our personal income taxes this year because we had so many new things that influenced our overall situation: acquiring new rental properties, inheritance, taking distributions from IRAs, etc. Travis handled our taxes professionally and efficiently, and we are very pleased with his service. When you hire Travis you can take comfort knowing that you have an honest professional handling your personal situation. We will use his services annually and would highly re
We've been using Travis to do our taxes for the past few years. We have always had good experiences with him. Always quick service and affordable rates. We look forward to using Elmore Tax Services for many years to come.
Did you ever have your child bring you one of their crayon drawings and show it to you with such pride like they created a masterpiece? And you look down at them and smile even know you realize it kinda sucks? Travis looked at me that way when he saw my TurboTax prepared returns that I was so proud I did myself. He was almost immediately able to identify mistakes I made on my family's taxes. Travis not only handled the current year's complicated tax situation that brought us to his office, but he also d
Travis is an experienced tax & accounting professional. He is up-front & honest. He helped me with my tax issues. I highly recommend Mr Elmore to others.
Highly recommend Travis Elmore. He is professional and knowledgeable. We have used him for several years for both personal and business taxes. We appreciate his hard work and excellent communication.
Travis is very detailed and knowledgeable. I have used him since I started my business and refuse to go anywhere else. If I could give him more stars I would!
Great professional, very knowledgeable and extraordinary human being. I started going to his office a year ago, he helped me set up my corporation and helped me with the taxes. He is always open to answer any questions. Thank you Travis for your extraordinary customer service. I highly recommend Elmore Tax & Accounting services.
Having just moved to Edmond in March and needing professional tax service and guidance, we chose Travis and are so glad we did. With a new and diverse set of income streams (salary, social security, new published author etc) we just knew preparing our 2014 taxes was outside our core competency--but right in Travis' wheelhouse--he did us right!!
Travis is very professional and thorough. He is excellent at what he does! He is available, supportive and efficient! What more can you ask for? We highly recommend Travis as an excellent CPA!
Highly recommend! As a family with income from a traditional w2 and self-employment I dread tax season every year. It's overwhelming and stressful, or it was. I happened across Elmore Tax & Accounting in a bit of a panic very late in the game. Great happenstance. Service was highly efficient, capable/competent/ & experienced, and affordable. I was both satisfied and impressed and definitely will be depending on Elmore Tax & Accounting much more in future years.
I?m so impressed with Travis - he?s super knowledgeable and was able to quickly help me identify some things we could do to improve our tax situation. He?s fast, thorough, friendly and has great rates - highly recommend.
Travis was extremely helpful and answered all our questions. We will use him as our accountant going forward.
I can't say how this business performs on tax preparation since they did not respond to my phone call or inquiry through their website. I understand it's a busy time of year, but a simple "We're booked and can't help you" would have been sufficient.
Travis is the best. Great with my small business.
Travis cleared up five years of taxes for me this year after my husband passed away unexpectedly . I will continue to use him in years to come.
Travis is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and a great asset to have on your side!
charges a little much but hes good and very busy
My experience with Travis was excellent
Always very good a 5 or better
Fast service and good advice!
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.
