Customer Reviews

WARNING: I would NEVER use Good Accountants Again! In 2020, I hired Good Accountants to help generate leads for my business during a tough time, right in the middle of COVID. My point of contact was Steve Mack. When I signed up, I was told that because it was after tax season, leads might be slow. I understood that. However, what I didn't expect was to be given completely unqualified actual leads. I received just one client who ended up paying approximately $250. The rest of the leads were people who had ju

GoodAccountants made great recommendations. They were professional and responsive and matched me with an audit firm that was a good fit.

We found Good Accountants using a simple google search. And was pleasantly surprised when Al Chisolm responded to our email for more detail. It was clear Al had researched our non-profit and as a result the call was right on target. And within a few days we had an interview with a well qualified CPA that we liked. I met with our board this week and got immediate approval and so with GA's help, we are all set for this year's audit. Well done GA! And in particular, thank you Al!

I wanted to take a moment to thank Stephen Mack and Al Chisolm for the opportunity and referral of a huge win for my accounting firm. I engaged GoodAccountants to help find me a larger client so that I could hire employees and build my accounting firm. They have delivered. I just closed on a client that will pay me approximately $150k annually. I am extremely grateful for Stephen and Al's direction and dedication in helping me secure this client. I look forward to using them again when I am ready for my nex

This service is exactly what I needed in urgent timing. My previous CPA was too busy to help me with some time sensitive tax planning due to a 1031 exchange. I wanted to find a new accounting service who would be available to me during a high pressured tax deadline season. Having an accountant is not just a business relationship, so it's important to get it right because the accountant becomes very familiar with many of our lives aspects. Finding a new one is a big deal. Stephen Mack was very easy to talk t

I highly recommend GoodAccountants. I found them on google and I didn't know what to expect. I had a lot of needs from a recent acquisition. I needed post close, software integration, bookkeeping, CFO services and tax help. Steve with good accountants guided me through the process and helped me find a great partnership with CPA, Craig Anderson.

Having tried to find a bookkeeper I could work with and understand to help with my very small business has been a challenge. Good Accountants was a Godsend. Erika from Di Salvo accounting contacted me , we made an appointment and I am more understanding of my own business bookkeeping than ever. Thanks so much. What a great service.

I signed up with Good Accountants a year ago in their large accounts division. While I haven't received revenue of the promised "3 times cost" yet, I am getting good leads and recently closed a deal that will generate around 12k a year. They send me business leads pretty regularily and trying to make good on their guarantee. I would recommend them for someone who wants to grow slowly over time and can afford their upfront fees.

I received a call within an hour. I explained what I was looking for in a CPA. I needed someone who understood on-line selling. They got me in touch with a CPA and within 24 hrs I was having a telephone discussion. He answered everyone of my questions and we had good rapport. I am going to set up a professional account with him. Thanks for your help Good Accountant.

Highly recommend. I called them on Friday and I had two interviews scheduled for Monday. I now have a new accountant!!!! Very pleased. Al Chisholm was a true professional, and a really nice guy!

Signed up for their "small" program in 2014. Still waiting to get my $5,000 in clients!! Got two clients that were 1040 returns. A bunch of inquiries that never returned phone calls or emails. They tried to sell me on the "national" program for $25,000. Of course it's payable up front. I said no thanks.

Al was instrumental in locating accounting firms in our area that fit our type of business. We were very pleased with the candidates he selected for us, and are excited about the choice we made. Let Good Accountants help - they narrow down the firms according to your criteria - huge time saver!

We have been very pleased with the leads we've received from GoodAccountants. Because we are located in a very sparsely populated area we wanted to grow our practice by finding leads who would be interested in remote engagements. GoodAccountants has been an excellent source for such leads.

This is a complete marketing scam - in the middle of tax season I receive a call from GA claiming they have a client in dire need of accounting services - ten minutes into the telephone call comes the "sales pitch" that you need to sign up and pay significant sums to get any referrals. At the monthly local accounting meeting, I brought up the subject of GA and a number of people had fallen for their marketing ploy and not one accountant could recommend this service - all claiming they joined, were told the

We're elated because Alvin Chisolm at GoodAccountants.com Inc. was God-sent to us! We did an online search for qualified CPA firms to conduct our annual financial audit. In "less than" 24 hours, Alvin had a referral of Robert Rojas, CPA (Rojas & Associates, CPAs), whom we conferenced with, and hired, to perform the annual audit for us. We appreciate the responsiveness of this company, the impressive qualifications of the referral, the professionalism displayed, and audit pricing--which was an awesome

Really happy with the response I got about looking for an accountant. I have been talking to our new accountant but haven't actually seen their team in person yet (we have many meetings planned for this month). But for the little that I have already talked to them I am pretty happy and confident we will be paying for a great team! Thank you Rose for all your help!

I was contacted within a few minutes about the services I would need from a CPA. Two appointments were made with different accountants to discuss our services and find out more about them. They both were on time in calling, courteous and professional. Both CPA's seemed knowledgeable and willing to assist us.

I would strongly recommend staying far away from GoodAccountants. I wouldn't necessarily say that they are a "scam" because they will technically fulfill their end of their contract but I would say that they heavily misrepresent their services and how effective they claim that they will be. Their service promises for a certain up front fee they will promote you on their site for your accounting/bookkeeping service, now obviously they cannot guarantee that a person will come to their site and choose you that

Overall a great experience. I called and within three business days had a couple of interviews set up to find the book keeper I needed. The candidates they sent were very sharp and capable.

I have used Good Accountants on several occasions to find accountants and external auditors. Each time was a wonderful experience and made my job much easier. Every candidate that I spoke with was so great that it made it difficult to choose.

i was in a whole lotta confusion and 'trouble' with my LLC accounting. on a lark i contacted GoodAccountants. Within hours the accountant of my dreams contacted me and has put all my confused trouble in order and i'm now starting a new business knowing that I've got the right people on my side. this was a win/win. higly recommend!!! and a big thank you to the powers that be that made this possible.

OMG - I was in desperate need of a miracle and happened to google and I was connected with Al with GoodAccountants.com. What a lifesaver! He matched us with a wonderful company and a competitive price . GOD BLESS you guys - AL gets 10 STARS!!!

I was not satisfied with the first referrals, but Good Accountants follow through to make sure that I received the help I needed. So, far I am satisfied and recommend this service.

We were pleased with how quickly we were able to get an appointment. Additionally, the professionalism was first class. The pricing was well within our budget. We recommend this service.

I started my business a few weeks ago And I really needed an accountant So I thought the best thing to do was to ask friends for good accountant And I also signed up for good accountants I never thought that I would have more help from good accountant then referrals from a friend. The accountant I received from good accountant Not only help me with accounting But even advice on how to grow my business which I really needed and worked within my budget I thank you guys very much

We ended up going with an accountant that was local and someone we worked with in the past, but GoodAccountants was awesomely responsive, gave us great local leads, and really understood what our company needed.

Thank you to Al from Goodaccountants.com for presenting our arts non-profit with several very good and appropriate potential CPA firms. They work fast and effectively!

Good Accountants has matched our company with several good clients over the years. It has helped our business exceed our growth expectations.

Good Accountants has helped me grow my practice I have just retained about 14,500 in clients this week alone. They do an excellent job.

The referral of an accountant for my two firms has so far been the best possible match possible. Very happy!

Great experience connecting me with a fantastic accountant. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good business accountant.

I had a great experience and was able to find the auditor that I needed.

I signed up with good accountants and they provided me ample leads and an opportunity to create a long lasting business. I only see my relationship with them growing from here.

Very professional and thorough work on my 2015 return. I will use this firm again next year.

My first appointment was great ! Was looking forward to seeing my accountant again.

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.
