I retained Zoha Sohail, an associate at Frost Law, and I couldn't be more pleased with my outcome. More importantly than my outcome, Zoha was very clear in her communication. She set proper expectations, exhibited extraordinary empathy and worked expeditiously to solve my urgent challenge. Zoha met every roadblock with a relentless perseverance that yielded my wife and I a favorable result. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You deserve a raise Zoha!!

Zoha Sohail is an AMAZING tax lawyer who actually cares about her clients. She is a very good listener and non-judgmental. She helped me resolved a longstanding tax issue with the state of Maryland. I would recommend her to anyone with tax problems. Thank you for all your help and support.

Ms. Zohail and the firm proved to be an invaluable resource in handling a family member's tax issues. She was professional, patient and very forward thinking. We really appreciate her effort as she saved our family tremendously in resolving our family member's tax issues in a conclusive and complete manner. I would highly recommend Ms. Zohail and Frost Associates.

I want to take a moment to express my gratitude and pleasure working with Zoha Sohail and team. She and the Frost team exemplified professionalism, wisdom, compassion, and a high level of confidence throughout the process. When I first contacted Zoha, I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. She took her time and navigated me through a very challenging matter. Her advice was sound and on point every step of the way. A special thank you! Vernon

Attorney Nicholas Berger was a beacon of hope at a time when my tax situation appeared hopeless, and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed close on impossible. Not only was he able to represent me against an institution (IRS and the State of Maryland) that tends to have no qualms about taking away the livelihood of a citizen with limited means, his calm and empathetic approach towards me was an emotional relief. I am eternally grateful for his service, and I, at this moment, recommend Mr. Nicho

If I could provide 20 stars, I would. Especially for my attorney, Nicholas Berger at Frost and Associates. Mr. Frost, if you see this review, please know Nick is an extraordinary lawyer. I will send a more detailed explanation by personal letter explaining what I mean when I say Nick is extraordinary. If you find yourselves crosswise with "government," I cannot more highly recommend this firm and our lawyer, Nick Berger.

Professional and effective. Realistic, methodical planning and execution. After no luck with several companies that claimed huge results, I was referred to Frost and Associates, LLC by a friend that had gone though a similar situation. I have been impressed the whole way through. They are prepared with the next strategy when one doesn't go as planned. They are honest and up front about the possible scenarios and are great with communication.

Rebecca Sheppard did an outstanding job of resolving my MD tax problems. Her knowledge of how the Office of the Comptroller works, good relationships with the employees in the Office of the Comptroller and excellent communication and critical thinking skills helped to solve my tax problems. I was always amazed at how quickly Rebecca responded to emails and phone calls. The many phone conversations with Rebecca helped to reduce the stress. As a result of Rebecca's efforts, I received a substantial refund fo

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.
