Customer Reviews

Stephen was so helpful, and knowledgeable about our taxes. We will recommend the firm to others. We felt very comfortable and everyone in the office is very pleasant.

I have used this firm two years in a row. They could not have handled my account any worse! For the first time in my entire life I had to pay late fees due to their advice!! Now the IRS is telling me my 2022 return doesnt match with figures they have and they want answers before 9/12 or additional fees and fines will be imposed. So now I have to find another firm to clean up whatever mess this circus created for me in 2022, plus pay someone to do it. I have never in my life dealt with such incompetent peopl

I recently moved to Florida from the Northeast and needed a CPA firm to help me navigate the tax laws. Anthony Hueston and his associates gave me excellent advice. It was a joy working with knowledgeable local accountants who took the time to understand my financial situation and advise me accordingly.

My husband and I have done our taxes and asked financial advice with Stephen Hueston and can seriously not say enough great things about the experience! We?ve worked with him a few years now and he is super helpful, extremely informative and makes sure you understand the process as well. I recommend 100/10 working with him and his team!

I met Anthony and his firmseveral months, and I can?t say enough about his firm. I literally gave them 5 years of taxes, that my accountant in NY put me on a 5 year extension, and they got all of my taxes up to date in about 45 days. I am extremely impressed and so relieved that I found a CPA firm that truly cares about me, and doing my personal and now business taxes. I am so blessed that I found this firm. I highly recommend this form to anyone.

I?m a local Realtor and have used Tony and his firm for a couple years now. He is very savy in real estate and has good knowledge on the industry and tax laws to help maximize your return. If you have investment properties or anything else regarding real estate, this is the place to go! I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for a CPA. Staff is also very friendly and helpful.

I have never been treated so very unprofessionally by any service I've paid for. Their actions are disgraceful and I would never recommend this firm to anyone. My company used this CPA for all of its needs for the last 2 years. The service I got was marginal at best, I felt like we weren't "big enough" to get the A+ service that I thought I would. I paid their asking price for full service accounting on all of our business dealings ($200 per month) and when it was time for taxes to be filed I literally

I've been going to Hueston & Company CPA for 4 years. They've exceeded expectations and proactively addressed all of my tax advisory needs when my attentions were needed elsewhere.

Absolute pleasure working with them. My taxes were a mess because I moved from California to FL mid-year, and changed jobs. They made sure all my bases were covered, and took all the stress off of my plate. And, my bank account continues to thank me for working with them.

I am extremely grateful to be able to recommend to the fullest extent Mr. Anthony and his staff for helping me and my company TerraScapes,inc. With all of our tax needs. Not only are they very professional but his entire personal are very down to earth and without a doubt my company will for ever be in debt with mr Hueston & Company CPA, LLC for saving me a ton of money. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Hueston & Company listened to my needs and explained everything thoroughly which made me feel confident in services. Very professional and fast turn around. Responsive when I had questions. Highly recommended!

I am starting a new business and had many questions. While the IRS website only made me more confused, this incredible family owned firm helped answer more questions than I even knew I had! Very knowledgeable and helpful with every need I had!

I will never go to another CPA again! This company got me 50% more then I received last year and nothing changed same tax documents and same dependent. Thank you, and you now have another loyal customer for life! Megan

The staff is courteous and did everything that was needed for the completion of a trust. Anthony Hueston took my calls or returned calls and was great to work with. I thank him and his staff. Kenneth Stottlemyer

I was hesitant on trying a new place for my taxes but Anthony and his team ensured I was well taken care of. They will definitely be doing my taxes from now on. Thank you!

Tony and team have always been helpful! We have used them every year for our taxes and have a great experience everytime.

Anthony is hands-down the best CPA I've gone to! Highly professional and will take care of all your tax needs. Love it! Highly recommend.

Can't say enough good about this firm. Have been going to them almost a decade now and have recommended close friends to them as well. They stay on top of code changes and help you keep what you earned!

Best accountant in the area! Everyone who works there is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I will never go anywhere else!

Considering I have both US and Canadian earned income, Stephen Hueston has made filing my US taxes stress free.

The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Professional, excellent service, and great communication.

Exceptional service from a family owned and operated business!

Great all around accountant

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.
