We are looking forward to the coming tax season because we know we have Graber & Associates managing our returns. Clearview Window & Door has relied on Graber & Associate for years, plus the firm handles our other businesses and personal returns as well. Thank you Steve & Chagit for helping us thrive financially through efficient processes and tax planning consults. We appreciate you and cannot thank you enough.
We switched to Graber and Associates a few years ago and it was the best decision we could have made for our business. Not only did Mark save us a lot in taxes but he is knowledgeable and cares about his clients' success. His thorough approach and level of expertise is unmatched and I recommend them to anyone who wants a great accountant on their side. He has a team of experts working with him so all questions are answered very promptly. I couldn't recommend them more for all your accounting needs.
Graber & Associates team are very knowledgeable and professional. Started working with Dov a few years ago and it has been a great experience for myself and my client. Will definitely refer other clients to Graber & Associates.
We're in the trucking and transportation industry and We've been with this firm for years now. They really understand our business, they're easy to reach, diligent with our financials and year end filings are easy and simple. They're also great at communicating our different savings options. We have a complete package with Graber and Associates and we plan to continue this relationship for many years.
Steven is a really dope accountant and very humble. This man really cares about his clients. Never had an actual owner of his own firm personally call me just to review paperwork and confirm details. Usually their associates would do this. Speaks a lot about his character. Also started reading his self-published book about how to grow your business. So many gems! Highly recommend him. Thanks again Steven!
I've been working with Graber and Associates for 5 years with my small business and I'm extremely happy with them. They are steady, they are thorough, they give me solid, trustworthy advice, and everyone who works here is kind. I've recommended them to several other small businesses and friends who need a guiding hand.
I've been using Graber & Associates for my Corporate and Personal tax returns for over 5 years. They have done a great job and the team including Steve is always accessible. Even during tax season Steve responses to emails usually the same day. I had several personal IRS issues after a difficult divorce and Steve referred me to a tax consultant who resolved the issue quickly for a great price.The team also assisted me with retirement planning. Graber's prices are very reasonable and they don't nicke and dim
If you are looking for a trust worthy, hardworking team to protect your best interest, give you advise to grow and help you file timely accurate taxes, give this team a call. They are prompt with answering questions This is our 3rd year filing with his office. We are so glad we switched, best decision we made for our business. I waited to post a review because we wanted to ensure if we are endorsing a company they deserve it. Constant good service, year after year. Thank you Steven and team!
Graber & Associates has been an incredible asset to my small business. They have been responsive and professional in all of our interactions and have helped me to develop a new tax strategy resulting in significant savings. Highly recommended.
We have been using Graber & Associates for over 12 years and its been an amazing experience. Its a real pleasure working with Steve himself and the rest of the crew. The fast response to phone calls and getting things done fast and smooth along with getting it right the first time gives me the peace of mind to focus on my Business. Way to go Steve Thank you
Mr. Graber was extremely helpful. He is not driven by money but by a good reputation. I contacted his firm for a consultation, and he contacted me the next day. He answered all my questions, he was a good listener and was patient. His advice steered me towards the right direction. I asked him a few questions again via email a few days after the initial consultation, again he answered my questions. Great service.
I have found Graber & Associates to be extremely knowledgeable, helpful and willing to delve into complex tax questions - both in the US and with issues abroad. They respond quickly to my questions. I would highly recommend Steve Graber and his colleagues to help with simple and complex tax returns as well as provide other advice.
Steven and his team have been preparing my taxes for the past several years and I truly couldn't be happier. I am still a relatively new business owner (we've only been in business 3 years) with some unusual tax situations (remote teams, some of us abroad), and Steven and his team are always available to answer questions, provide guidance, etc. -- even at the very last minute. In addition to providing us with really good service, their rates are more than reasonable, especially considering that we consider
Steve and his staff are very professional and courteous! They answered all my questions in understandable terms and completed my taxes quickly. They gave me advice that helped me determine the best business model for my company as well as the best strategy for my retirement savings. I highly recommend Graber & Associates!!!
We have been very impressed with Steve and his team at Graber & Assoc. They are excellent accountants who take the time to explain things clearly and patiently to the client. They are skilled and responsive. I highly recommend them!
My personal taxes were a mess, and a simple program was not going to do the job. I spoke to Mr. Graber on the phone, made an appointment, and after speaking with Dov Singal for about half of an hour, felt totally relieved. They are thorough, and promptly follow up on any issues. This is a very professional firm, and I am delighted to be a client.
We have used Graber & Associates for 8 years. Steve, Sara and the other associates are extremely knowledgeable about tax laws and always give us excellent advice for our business and personal taxes.
I am always impressed with Steve and his staff and their commitment to the success of my business. They have assisted me for over 15 years through various business situations, such as monthly bank reconciliations and business sales. They are responsive, professional, and supportive. I highly recommend Graber & Associates for all of your business accounting needs. Nick Cassiere Alcohol Detection Systems
Graber and Associates has been, and continues to be a first-rate CPA firm. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. They take the time to answer all our questions and offer solutions to some of our complex accounting issues. I would highly recommend them.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Graber & Associates, CPAs. Steve Graber and his staff have been preparing my income taxes for many years. My past experiences gives me confidence and trust in their work.
Me and my family have been using Graber & Associates CPA's for years. Their work ethics is awesome and never disappointed with the outcome. They are very professional and we will continue to utilize their business. Yumika & Joe
Getting a letter from the IRS saying that you owe a lot of money is a scary thing. I had never worked with a CPA before, and quite frankly, wasn't sure what to expect. I called Graber & Associates because I read a number of reviews that had been left for them, and I'm so glad I called. Steven was fantastic. From explaining to me exactly what I needed to do, to then handling all of the bits that I would have been completely unable to do, and ending up with me owing a fraction of what the IRS told me I owed
Steve and company are simply the best. After years of doing my own very complex taxes, I went to Steve and every year he has exceeded the results of my own calculations. We continue to use him in increasing ways, e.g. when we set up an LLC, a limited partnership and of course our own personal taxes. There simply isn't a better company available.
Steve and the entire firm is amazing. Professional and efficient, even to last minutes flings or amendments. Very thoughtful and caring about our family, aways asking how each of the kids are doing and what they are up to, Great Accounting Firm!
From the time we opened our doors through today we have been using Graber & Associates. They have always been available for QuickBooks consultations, tax compliance and tax planning. They have always been timely with tax preparation and responses to questions.
The Team at Graber & Associates, are a great group of professionals with the understanding and the patience to meet the needs of their clients. Thank You guys for all your hard work. I appreciate you
Outstanding knowledge regarding ever changing tax code. Have been working with them for over 25 years, always very pleased with preparation and filings as well as great financial advice. Highly recommended!
Thank you for once again making this such a positive experience! You were efficient and always there to answer our questions. We appreciate all your hard work!
For the past 25 years, Steve and his entire staff have been wonderful and easy to work with. They are honest, quick, knowledgeable about your taxes and a pleasure to work with.
Wonderful company to work with. Professional, kind, honest, and always willing to carefully explain what's best for my company. Very pleased with Graber and Associates.
As with any small / medium business, I need not just answers but execution related to tax and investment concerns that affect both my business and me personally. This team can do that and does do that on consistent basis. Thanks for putting up with me.... Best Dave

I have been working with Steve and his staff for many years. They are always professional and efficient. It makes the whole process very smooth.
I sent my stuff in for you to file my taxes, but I haven't heard anything from you; don't even know if you received it. A phone call or email would be nice.
We're very satisfied with the tax preparation they did for us this year. We can heartily recommend them.

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.
