Customer Reviews

Donal has been doing our taxes for many years now and he is wonderful to work with. He is thorough, efficient and also very entertaining and personable. I have always done my own taxes and am a bit of a control freak, but as the returns got more complicated and included foreign income we had to find someone and Donal came highly recommended. Donal knows taxes and I am completely comfortable leaving it to him!

Dan is the man when it comes to helping a business out with sorting finances and taxes. I have dealt with numerous individuals in this profession for years and none come close to the quality of work that Dan has provided. Thank you Dan for the quality and fast work, we look forward to continue doing business with you. Highly recommend using Foyle Business Services.

Donal is a lifesaver! In addition to knowing everything you need to know about the US tax code, he is well versed with the Irish Revenue. International taxes are complicated and I had no idea where to start but he took care of everything. Capable, efficient, and secure -what more can I say.

Daniel provides top notch accounting services. Responsive and eager to explain all specifics. Highly recommended. UPDATE: I did my taxes in 2024 with Dan again, he stays true to his excellent service and dedicated personal advising. Highly recommended.

Dan has been doing my taxes and advising me financially for fifteen years. He is always punctual in responding, unfailingly courteous, professional and smart. I highly recommend Foyle Business Services.

Foyle Business Services has done a splendid job preparing my taxes for the past 5 years. Dan is not only an excellent CPA, his breadth of knowledge & dry wit makes the entire experience of paying one?s taxes much more enjoyable than could be imagined. I cannot recommend FBS highly enough!

Dan, the man who runs Foyle business services, understands me - He knows I?m not perfect . He knows I?m good at running my business however he understands doing the Accounting is not my best skill at all . So he helps me . He prepares our business for the tax man, he prepares my P and L so I can actually see how my business is doing in real time, he does our monthly bookkeeping and best of all he compliments us when we do well. He doesn?t judge my lack of accounting skills or when I forget to file m

As a client who has used Foyle over the years, and specifically Dan, i cannot praise him highly enough. He has a can do approach to tax accounting and has helped me with complex accounting issues as well as more straightforward ones all, in a timely manner. Convenience is also a factor, as it has been possible to work remotely with Foyle thanks to some nifty file-sharing systems.

Dan was definitely one of the best professionals I've ever dealt with, it's very rare to find professionals who engage with clients with such a level of promptitude, no doubt I am coming back to him from now on.

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.
