David and his office team are amazing in every way. They are always on point and pay close attention to details. He knows how to advise you properly on business setup for proper accounting and liability reasons as well as help you maintain proper bookkeeping. Most businesses fail because they fail to have the right people in place to help keep their business going. A great IT company and Accountants are the two most important things in business. Those are the 2 areas that cripple a business quickly if

My experience dealing with this firm has been nothing short of exceptional. From beginning to end i felt like i was truly taken care of and all of my concerns addressed. This felt more personal than any other interaction I?ve ever had involving my taxes! I can not recommend them enough!
The ease of using Goldenthal & Suss Co made the tax process that much easier!

Terrible customer service. Is April 22, 2024 and i have yet received my business K1 form. They really lag on easy tasks and do not give attention to customers of small businesses like myself. Will not be going back to them in the future.
I have Been a client of Goldenthal & Suss for many years, specifically Mr David Egan he is a complete professional and knows the tax laws inside and out . Mr Egan is always there whenever I need advice day or night , I highly recommend his company and staff ,
My experience here was outstanding, they made it very easy to get what I needed done and it was very efficient. David is a very pleasant guy and the girls in the office are so sweet! I will definitely be going back for all my tax needs.

If you need an accountant, you found the right individual. He has excellent communication skills and is able to assist you in a timely and efficient matter. He is very knowledgeable in his work, and I couldn't have gotten through tax season without him.
I've been going to Dave for my income taxes for 3 years now, very helpful and professional he doesn't mind taking the time to explain things and is very thorough. Highly recommend for making tax season smooth!
Goldenthal & Suss has been our accounting firm for over 30 years. Their professionalism and attention to detail has always been exceptional. We highly recommend there service and most important their interest in the success of our business.
I would be cautious doing business here. Mr Egan doesn?t seem well and his behavior shows it. I can?t imagine how his mental illness can not impact his work. He and his staff tend to be dismissive on the phone, always busy with something. They have misfiled my paperwork in the past and he is known for making mistakes. I just don?t want anyone to get hurt here because IRS isn?t very forgiving.
It depends who you deal with. Martin Suss is a great guy, David Egan on the other hand is a psychotic and deeply troubled man, abusive to his employees and not thorough enough in his work. Would recommend a more seasoned CPA/firm elsewhere.
I am so happy I found David . I had a huge tax problem and was referred to David Egan & his team . The level of professionalism is unparalleled.
The best accounting firm by far! I have been using them for years and would never go elsewhere! Highly recommend!

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.
