Customer Reviews

I've known Frank Kapitza for over 20 years. He has handled several of my companies and I also recommended him to a few business associates, who have also used Frank. He pays great attention to details and thoroughly explains the tax situations.

Frank has been a pleasure to work with. He runs a professional firm, that is willing to go above and beyond for each one of his clients. He manages to find savings in areas that other CPAs don't pay attention to or take the time to point out and explain to the client. I recommend Frank 10 out of 10 times to any colleagues.

I've known Frank Kapitza since we went to high school together back in the seventies. Frank was always into math equations and numbers. He didn't need a calculator. He could just figure out number equations in his head extremely fast. He's my accountant and he's very competent and informative. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a great accountant for personal or business reasons. Frank is always interested in how to save you money when it comes to paying taxes.

Frank and his staff has spent considerable time assisting me in filing previous years late returns with significant issues and problems; although it has taken much work through some communication breakdowns, he and his staff has persevered and have always worked to maximize our company's returns with respect to profit and loss, tax liability, etc. We now currently have in place QB Online which has simplified our bookkeeping processes and creates a fluent workflow between myself and Frank's accountant.

I have been using Frank's service for my tax returns for the last 25 years. He has always been accommodating and gets the job done as promised.

I am very skeptical when it comes to trusting anyone with financial matters. I am a general contractor and Frank's accounting firm has been handling my business/personal taxes for about 5/6 years now and I have nothing but good things to say about Frank and his staff. I've received great results on all my tax returns so far. Frank is a great guy and a straight shooter - I highly recommend his services.

He passes zero judgment and every time I go to see him he REALLY does a phenomenal job of establishing s

This is my second year in business and last year was a headache to keep all my accounts in order. This year I started working with frank and his team and they got my accounts in order again. Frank invites me to come to their offices on the weekends to keep me updated with my accounts and they teach me a little about accounting so that not only my accounts are in order but so that I also understand what is happening. They are super helpful and I will always recommend.

I have been working with Frank for the past 2 years for Tax preparation. He is wonderful, helpful and has a wonderful staff working with him. I would highly recommend going to Frank for your tax and financial planning.

Mr. Frank Kapitza is one of the most knowledgeable and reputable individuals that I have ever had the honor of working with. His integrity and professionalism is the best! I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of a certified public accountant?

I have done financial and accounting with Frank for 15 years. I highly recommend his services and his knowledge of all things related to these things is top notch.

Frank was very nice when I went in for a consultation but it was all downhill from there. Said they were going to take care of everything but I wound up having to do most of the work. Frank passed my taxes off to a kid who didn't seem to know the ropes yet. Wound up forgetting things, messing all the numbers up and it was really difficult to get in contact with anyone. This went on for weeks. Everytime I called, Frank was "in a meeting". It wasn't until I made a surprise visit that Frank finally got involve

Frank isn?t like most cpas. Frank turns your ?expense? mindset into a ?profit center? mindset by utilizing all the available possibilities. By working with him regularly, he?ll be able to take advantage of great opportunities in the present unlike most cpas that tell you after it?s too late. Highly recommend .

If you are ever in a need for a Certified Public Accountant who go beyond the call to help with tax issues Frank W Kapitza is the person to contact. I myself had some tax issues and I was lucky to find Frank K to help deal with the IRS. Give him a call.!!!!

Frank is a down to earth guy with extensive knowledge in his area which is key to make the most of your income tax returns. If you are looking for a top gun..this is your man.

after more than 30 years of being with a large NJ Accounting firm , I'm very pleased to have the personal attention that I receive with Frank. He has been the best to work with.

Frank works in the best interest of his clients and explains things clearly. I have been doing my business accounting with him for the past 6 months, and pretty happy so far!

Beware! They lure you into their monthly subscription, mutually sign an agreement and lo and behold they send out a "mock invoice" that is 4x higher than monthly fee that was agreed on. Well, unless you like getting ripped off like that hire him. They did not even complete and reconcile the accounts for the month they charged me and no refund has been given. CPS is a better title: Certified Public Scammer

Frank and his staff have been fantastic from day one! Very transparent, willing to help and great business advice! And of course, fantastic with all things taxes related!

The utmost professional, responsive, thorough and provides excellent guidance for me personally and for my business. He is an excellent resource and trusted confidant! Thanks Frank for always being there for me!

Frank Kapitza is one of the most knowledgeable and reputable individuals that i have ever had the honor of working with. His professionalism in the best, i would recommend him to anyone who is in need of a certified public accountant...

Superb accountant, best I've ever had. You don't get quality people like this anymore. Frank took the time to sit and understand my complex situation. 5/5 Gold Standard of Service.

If I could give less than a star, I would. I asked this gentleman (Frank Kapitza CPA) for a ballpark estimate on what he charges to generate Schedule K1, (used for LLC partnerships) and he hung up the phone. What a loser.

I've never used an accountant before so I was not sure what to expect. Frank was fast, efficient and made everything easy to understand.

Frank's team is very attentive and stays on top of the details.

Excellent service, when a problem ever arises, his staff promptly calls to straighten it right out, thank you!!!

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.
