Would suggest this company for anyone needing accounting or bookkeeping help. Thank you!
My husband and I had concerns about our tax situation. We met with Mayer and he explained everything to us in a professional manner and also provided us with information that assisted us in making smart, cost effective decisions. We were very pleased and will continue to use his services.

I am so happy i found this guy. I came to him simply to help get my business set up with with legalities but he was so insightful. Intuitively, he knew more about my needs then I myself did. He helped me avoid so many potential aggravations. Now my business is realy taking off and I owe him much gratitude for the clarity and confidence he gave me, knowing that my business is set up ,streamlined and at max potential.
Mr Fligman prepared my taxes starting 2 years ago and I couldn't have been more impressed! Before 2018, I had tried multiple accountants, preparation services such as turbotax, etc... but after switching to Mr Fligman I can see the importance of having an excellent accountant! He expertly and quickly prepared my complex taxes. He was available all hours of the day when I had questions or concerns. He is genuine, trustworthy, and was a pleasure doing business with. Would HIGHLY recommend!
?? ?? ?? Fligman's Accounting Firm Since I'm a bookkeeper, I'm in contact with accounting firms here and there, but for the first time I used an accountant for my own filings. I have to say I'm going to recommend Fliegman's Accountant Firm to all my own clients. Mr Fliegman specializes in what he's doing, very loyal, and you can talk to him to discuss and understand your filings... not like other accountants... like I worked with in the past for my clients....
I had a great experience with this firm setting up my business. They were very helpful specifically with many challenges that I had with my new business. They were very patience and helpful with all my questions. Highly recommended
As a business owner in the food industry, which faces a lot of challenges and uncertainty, I needed somebody who can advise me how to break into the kosher food market and still make a lot of profit. Mr. Fliegman was very dedicated and personal to me, and he guided me on how to do it the right way. By now, I am very successful with my items; whatever I have in stock is being sold within two days, and I am successful only because of the advice guidance and patients of Mr. Fliegman, I will always be grateful
We did our taxes for the first time with Mayer for 2019 when our taxes got more complex as I opened a business and needed some help with real estate as well. Mayer helped to answer all my questions and was able to put together a great tax strategy for me and my wife. He knows his stuff and can help even if your taxes are complex.
I've been using Fliegman's Accounting Firm for my personal and business accounting needs for several years. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable and meticulous, they are very responsive.
I will admit I am very skeptical when it comes to trusting people with important things. So when I stepped into Mr. Fliegman's office one Tuesday morning, it was with quite a bit of hesitance and wariness. Mr. Fliegman welcomed me into a beautiful waiting room and I immediately felt at ease. He took the time to hear me out, offer advice and impart his knowledge, going beyond the scope of his title. I walked out with confidence, trust and essential documents under my arm. Mr. Fliegman is a guy who takes no
Referred by a friend, I always have an utmost satisfactory experience working with Mayer Fligman Known for his sterling reputation, Mayer will give you his utmost undivided attention .

I couldnt have made a better choice and if you want service that excells in everyway , look no more , because all your answers are here at Mayer Fligmans Accounting Firm!!!
We run a big Not-for Profit in the local community, they helped us with all Tax Exempt issues with the Federal and the State including recognizing our entity as a 501(c)(3). We are very thankful and appreciate their great advice.
We used fliegman's accounting firm for a few years now. Mr fliegman is very knowledgeable in his field and answers our questions with the utmost patience and kindness. He works quick and efficiently.
As a owner of several business I know that it is very hard to consolidate my tax return, after trying a few accounting firms a friend referred me to them, and, ?oh yeh baby? they are making it so easy! Explaining everything to the button! And I don?t think I have to mention the price, very reasonable!
I already worked with a lot of accounting firms, They are by far the best. Very professional and loyal, since I use them I am feeling secure that all my accounting is done in the best way possible. Strongly recommend.
I am using this accounting firm to file my taxes since 2017. I'm extremely satisfied with their service and young energy. Not like the old school accountants who aren't updated with the tax laws and fall asleep while talking to them.
I'm using Fliegmans accounting since 2016, I cannot be more happy with an accountant like I am with this firm. I have many good things to write, but the bottom line is that I would recommend them to everybody looking for an accountant.
As an owner of a bus company with over 50 buses, calculating the Depreciation expense on the tax return was always very challenging that it should be beneficial and reflect the profit in a balanced way. This firm was able to put the correct measures so we can use the mileage to calculate the depreciation, and it was a huge brainstorm for us. Thank you!
We are running a daycare center for kids. We had a lot of paperwork and legal requirements to follow to be able to get approved for grants and funding from the government, with the help of Fliegmans Accounting we were able to get the funding we needed quickly. We highly recommend using them.
I own a demolition company in NYC, and I dealt a long time with an unresponsive accountant, so I went to a different accountant, but that accountant completely messed me up with the government . Until I was referred to this accounting firm and they cleaned up the mess with the government. very thankful to this accounting firm and highly recommended!!
I am very grateful?to Mr. Fliegman. He helped me set up tax credits for my business. I wish I would have found this place a few years before, would have saved me a lot of money. He told me many times that there is no such thing as a dumb question, and I can ask any question I want, he patiently answered all my questions and concerns.
What i like about fliegman's Accounting is that they answer you straight to your question dedicated staff and when you need something they get it done for you right away. one year i needed my return very early in the year and i cant even write how helpful they were on filling it for me and getting all necessary paper work in less than 2 weeks so i had my return in time when i needed it.
I am using this firm since 2016 for real estate. And I am very happy with this firm. Very knowledgeable staff, and they handle complex transactions very smoothly. Responding to my needs quickly.

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.
