This review is long overdue from early 2023. Ahmed handled my elderly mother's taxes at time when I was overwhelmed as her POA and we had just finished renovating and sold her home. He is very attentive, knowledgeable, kind, and honest. I will gladly use his services in the future. Thank you, Ahmed!
I had the opportunity to work with Ahmed on taxes, and he proved to be a highly detail-oriented professional with a strong work ethic. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was done correctly, and I greatly benefited from his expertise.
Ahmed did our business and personal taxes and did a great job. He is smart and personable and gives a concierge service. Great to work with!
Ahmed is awesome! We were a little behind with our taxes, but he got us caught up quickly! He is very patient, knowledgeable and explains everything well. He even found errors that were made on previous returns. It is such a relief to have found a trustworthy CPA who focuses on his clients. We are so happy we reached out to him and will definitely be using him from now on!
I have used Epsilon for the past two years. Epsilon came in at the last minute and alleviated an issue created by another tax preparation company. Ahmed is knowledgeable and kind. He sat with me and walked me through the tax code, explaining things I had never known or heard of. I know that if a question arises throughout the year, I can call Ahmed. He ensures he is available to his clients and always has an answer to my questions or guidance for me. I have sent multiple friends to Epsilon for their super

I am so glad I found Ahmed. He is generous with his time like no other accountant I've had. He is quick to respond to a simple question via text. He is very knowledgable and works fast. He gives updates on progress and gets work done when he says he will. I really didn't realize how badly I was being treated by previous accountants until now. Where other accountants seem to put themselves on a pedestal, Ahmed seems down to earth, trustworthy, and humble. I highly recommend him to anyone.
I have been working with Ahmed for a couple of years now. He handles my business accounting, taxes, and personal taxes and helps with tax planning. He is quick to respond and fun to work with. We have devised a plan to pay off my house in 7 years.
I?ve been using Ahmed for about 3 months now for my plumbing business and I have zero complaints.

5-star is not sufficient to describe how happy I am with Ahmed?s professional services. He is personable, detailed oriented, patient, generous with his time, and most importantly, ethical!

Ahmed even helped to explain a better tax filing status for my business and how that would impact my personal return. He responds to emails, texts, and calls very promptly. I had a few questions about my return and he reviewed the return line by line with me. He?s also a nice guy and great to work with as well. I

Ahmed really took care of me and my business when I came across him last minute and has continued to do a great job highly recommended
Ahmed Baqir, CPA provided a very timely response to begin with, within 10-15 minutes of posting on thumbtack we were speaking on the phone. I explained my somewhat more complex situation and he provided immediate assistance on the steps I needed to get the process started. He also provided extremely valuable resources and a great overview of what was required to resolve my particular project. I give Ahmed and his services my highest recommendation, professional, easy to work with and very knowledgeable.
My family had a complex case with taxes and divorce. Ahmed handled everything professionally and efficiently. I felt he stayed neutral and kept us on track and focused on tax filing and future planning. I highly recommend. Fastest turn around as well!
I was leery of hiring a CPA from online, but his quick response, professional demeanor and seemingly endless wealth of knowledge immediately set my mind at ease. With his many years of experience, he was able to set my mind in peace and trusting my taxes. Because if something is wrong you are the one responsible for the errors?I would highly recommend Ahmed for any tax needs and will be leveraging him for years to come.
I have been working with Ahmed for over 10 years. This year I needed help with an FBAR return and he was quick to explain the issue at hand and file my taxes. I highly recommend Ahmed for all their business and personal accounting and tax work!
Ahmed was always quick to respond and explained our returns and options thoroughly. He even walked us through how to complete our small business taxes with our third party partner who did not use his services.
Ahmed has been helping my Oklahoma and Texas company for a couple of years now. He has navigated my Oklahoma business from a near dissolution to a thriving enterprise!
Ahmed is a buddy first, accountant second. So kind and protective of his clients. Always a step ahead of the sharp curves! And boy! there's quite a few of them sharp curves growing a business! I highly recommend him to SMBs for cost effective and solid tax strategies with quick turnaround service.

He is so professional and personable which made it easy to ask questions to better understand my return. Thank you, Ahmed! Looking forward to another smooth tax year in 2023.
Amhed is so amazing! I was in a crisis situation after my old CPA held onto my tax paperwork and dodged my calls for a year and a half. Amhed helped me to find all the paperwork I needed and I was able to file two years worth of taxes in one day. He even called me multiple times to help. It was so easy, and although it made me nervous that he was in another state, I received my refunds yesterday, exactly the timeframe he advised I would. I am so incredibly grateful to him. I will be using him every year fro
This is the second time I have reached out to Mr. Baqir to prepare delinquent tax returns, and I will continue to use his services. My returns were completed quickly and submitted on time. I am very happy to have found Mr. Baqir because he responds quickly when I contact him, and he takes time to answer my questions. He is very easy to work with because he is so kind and calm. Thank you Mr. Baqir, you'll be hearing from me again!
Ahmed Baqir, CPA is easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable in Income Tax accounting. He is responsive to requests in a timely manner. His prices are more than fair for the experience he brings to the table. I would recommend him to anyone looking to change preparers or even file for the first time with a professional.
Best accountant in the OKC metro. We have done business with several other CPA's and none of them come close to matching the attention to detail or customer service provided by Ahmed. He actually caught a mistake that another accountant had made and saved us thousands of dollars.
Ahmed, an accountant with the most top tier knowledge of all tax needs. Super helpful with any questions related to your personal or business taxes. Not only an accountant but a reliable friend who looks out for your best interest!
Truly enjoyable experience working with Ahmed. Smooth and fast process and preparations were done in a timely manner. Very thorough explanation of return. Looking forward to working with Ahmed in the future.
Just wanted to give a quick shout out to Ahmed Baqir, CPA for his services and experience. I am going to be brutally honest. I hated CPAs as an entirety (sorry not sorry). I felt a lot of them were lazy, they didn't know what they were doing, the good ones were overworked and couldn't organize their systems, they lied, hid fees, etc. ? THE LIST GOES ON Ahmed & I connected months ago to discuss the possibilities of working together on my financials. Naturally I was very timid towards this because of my pa
Ahmed is a great accountant. He is likeable and nice to work with! Looking forward to working with him again.
I was looking for a no-nonsense CPA who could provide professional and concise advice. Ahmed definitely fits that criteria and he is clearly very knowledgeable and thorough in his approach and I am looking forward to working with him.
Very knowledgeable and great to do business with! He will maximize your deductions and make the entire tax process seamless and enjoyable- definitely recommend!!!
Ahmed offered a free consult and estimate of his services. It was great, and we will likely go with him.

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.
