Customer Reviews

Best place to have your tax returns done. Friendly cordial atmosphere, very knowledgeable preparers and receptionist, David Kennedy did mine and he was very thorough made me feel like I was good hands! Fair pricing and easy location to get to. I?ve had many preparers in my 70 yrs and I would say they?re at the top of the list ??.

Please do not look any further. Illir is the most professional and pleasant person to work with and he will absolutely take care of you and try and find anyway to help you out the best he can. Additionally, his staff is excellent as well and they too help set you up for success. Please do yourself a favor and go to Illiar you will not regret it.

Tim was awesome and super helpful. He took his time to make sure we understood our taxes and made sure we got everything deduction we qualified for

Finding a good CPA has been hard. We had used a few previously and just weren?t very happy with the way our taxes were handled. We don?t have crazy taxes, either? standard 1040 and a schedule C. Finally? we stumbled across Ilir and his office. We are so glad to have found him. He is funny and personable, knows his stuff, and has been great at answering our questions whenever we have them. He is quick and efficient, and really makes time for his clients. Again?. So glad we found him.

Our family and business use Idaho Tax & Bookkeeping Services, LLC each year for our taxes. Ilir is very knowledgeable and great to work with. Happy to recommend this business to my friends.

Ilir and his team do a fantastic job. Ilir is exceptionally diligent at following-up with the IRS to make sure your case is being addressed and processed. Everyone in the office is pleasant, professional and helpful. I highly recommend Idaho Tax and Bookkeeping Services to anyone in need of help with a tax issue or tax filing.

David was amazing and answered all of our questions professionally. We will be going back every year to do our taxes.

After years of struggling through filling my own taxes and getting little to no returns. I was visiting a family friend who highly recommended Ilir at Idaho Tax Service. Needless to say, I was extremely pleased by his excellent knowledge and wonderful service. He explained what he was doing, what was and what was not required of me due to my tax bracket and got me a better return than I've gotten in years. I highly recommend Ilir / Idaho Tax Service for all income brackets, not just for businesses. He is

I wanted to thank Idaho Tax and Bookkeeping for the excellent accounting work that you and your staff have done for me. As you know, I approached you with quite a mess. We had received poor advice on accounting procedures and had countless errors as a result of that. Idaho Tax is knowledgeable about common accounting and tax practices and exhibited a quick grasp of my personal tax and business position. Ilir prepared the needed papers swiftly and provided me with the information necessary to avoid common pi

When we moved to Idaho 10 years ago, our California accountant failed to file our taxes. I was nearly hysterical at the approaching tax deadline. Our neighbors recommended Ilir who came over on Easter, completed our taxes, and got them filed on time. What amazing service! He and his staff are always supportive and helpful, and they provide timely suggestions to help you manage your tax liability. I recommend Idaho Tax and Bookkeeping whether you?re filing personal or business taxes. They?re the best!

I was referred to Idaho Tax & Bookkeeping Services. They have been very helpful, competent, and followed through on their promises. I believe their fees are reasonable, (and cheaper than many national advertisers). The IRS has not been easy to deal with, where the left hand of the bureaucracy was not in communication with the right hand. Through it all, Idaho Tax, and Mr. Ilir Nina, CPA, have kept me informed, and given me great service. I highly recommend him and this company to anyone with problems wi

Ilir has been working with my family for a few years now, and has always provided top-notch services! He is dependable, reliable, and hard working. I highly recommend his services.

Excellent! I've used seven other accountants and payroll services over the last twenty years and I'm so happy I found Ilir! His staff is second to none. I don't feel like just another number to them, they're always available to help whenever I need it. I highly recommend Idaho Tax and Bookkeeping!

IIir is very helpful and honest. I have been working with him 6 years now and he is diligent. I am so grateful for his work and the knowledge he has given me along the way. Thank you Idaho Tax & Bookkeeping Services.

Idaho Tax & Bookkeeping has been great to work with and helped me go through the process of incorporating and dealing with all the tax implications. They are very good at returning calls/emails and care about their clients best interests. Highly recommend!

My wife Pam and myself have known Ilir for 2 years now and Idaho Tax & Bookkeeping Services have done our taxes for 2 years. Ilir and his staff are very professionally and timely as well. The thing I like about Ilir and his staff best is that they always put my interest, and problems first . Stop in and talk with Ilir and his staff.....they will save you money!

I came to see Ilir at Idaho Tax and Bookkeeping last April. I needed help badly. I had unfiled taxes and did not know where to begin. He helped with books for a reasonable fee, they filed my taxes and we did an offer. We prevailed on everything. Ilir helped me stay calm and assured me that everything would be OK. And it turned out as he said. I am a happy customer and I recommend him highly.

Thanks to Ilir, we had our taxes filed and delivered faster than we've ever had before. He was transparent about the whole process, and we even knew what our return would be before we left the office. I cannot recommend him and his team enough!

I have been using Idaho Tax and Bookkeeping Services for three years now. The team there has been able to handle all my tax needs with ease! I was experiencing an audit situation the first time I went in. They were able to rectify the audit all while assuring me peace of mind. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Ilir and the team at Idaho Tax & Bookeeping Services do a great job. Very easy to work with and great communication. Ilir is very knowledgeable on changing tax codes, etc. Highly recommend Ilir and his team.

We wanted to deal with our tax issues with a live person. After weeks of searching online, I found Ilir Nina. He's been able to help us with some very stressful issues and I feel grateful for all his expertise and assistance thus far!! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with their taxes or other IRS issues. He's very calm and is willing to do what is needed. Very professional!

I had been audited by the IRS with the possibility of owing close to 100k. I had purchased audit protection which was worthless, they did nothing. I then went to Idaho Tax and Bookkeeping. Ilir Nina immediately went to work on my case. He was very proactive. Made appointments right away to get my issues resolved. His bookkeeping services went through all my records. Put them in order to present to the IRS. In the end, I owed nothing. Ilir put my mind at ease from the start. He's knowledgeable and explain

For many years I?ve used an online resource to file my taxes and to be honest I dread it. It always asks a bunch of questions that I just really don't understand and leaves me questioning if I did everything correctly, so this year I decided to try something different and I'm so happy I did. Ilir is knowledgeable, efficient, and very thorough. Not only does he explain things in a way you can understand he educates you along the way which I LOVE! What normally takes me a good 30mins to an hour to get throu

I wish I could give 10 stars here! This professional has been outstanding in every way. He saw us through an audit, re-did taxes previously done by one of those chain tax companies, set up our S Corp, and bookkeeping. Each time we sit down with Ilir, we learn something new and come out with an understanding of our tax situation. His knowledge is most valuable and we are so grateful we found this MASTER OF ACCOUNTANCY this valley has to offer. Such a pleasure to work with.

I came to Ilir two years ago with a very complex tax situation. The help he gave me was invaluable to my wife and I. He took my very complicated return and professionally worked with us to get everything submitted and paid. I paid a lot in taxes but he also saved us on what we had to pay. I have ownership in two companies and trust Ilir and his team with all of my tax returns. I will be back for this year's tax return.

Idaho Tax & Bookkeeping Services was great at helping my company get compliant with the IRS and getting my company launched. They are always quick to respond to my emails and any issues I have. They are some of the best tax preparation in Boise. Thanks for the tax help!

Ilir Nina met with me the same day I called!!! He did outstanding work on my complicated taxes! Ilir was very thorough, and he explained what he was doing, and helped me understand the process. In addition, he?s a very pleasant person, and very capable CPA. I highly recommend him!! Thank you!

Ilir was very professional and upfront about what the best options for me were. His office and staff were professional and accommodating. I will recommend friends to come experience how stress-LESS taxes can be. His sense of humor also made the experience personable.

I have worked with Ilir ina and his team at Idaho Tax Services & Bookkeeping for over 6 years now. They helped clear up years of unfiled back taxes from the IRS and multiple states for a very reasonable fee and saved me thousands in fees and fines in the process. It was no small task and they took care of me and made the process painless. Since then I have never gone anywhere else for tax services. I file corporate and personal taxes and they handle my quarterly filings and always keep me on track, someth

Ilir taught me a lot about taxes, bookkeeping, and payroll. If not for his guidance, my business would have probably never opened its doors. Thank you, sir, for the education and experience. You are a scholar and a gentleman.

I have had so much peace of mind working with Ilir. Even though tax season makes me nervous he is always patient and understanding willing to help me understand the long process that sometimes paperwork can take. He gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend his services.

We will never find another accountant. Ilir is the THE account in Boise. Not only did he do our taxes for a reasonable price, he gave us advice on how to fix our business model too?and that?s going to save us a lot of money in the long run. He is the best, don?t look any further!

Updated*** I have updated my rating to 5 stars based on the response of Iler. As mentioned in my original post, I still do not recommend Ricky at all, but Iler has at least taken the sting away of that experience. He almost immediately reached out to us and made every attempt he could to rectify this situation. Based on this limited interaction with Iler, I would 100% recommend him. He is completely customer service orientated and made me feel like he was an advocate for me and appreciated my business. Than

DEFINATELY RECOMMEND IIir and his team are excellent! I've spent many tax seasons over my life completely stressed out. Now that I am working with Idaho Tax & Bookeeping I feel completely confident I am in good hands.

After several experiences with different accountants throughout my career, Illir has proven to be the best! When I first came to ITB, my tax situation was a disaster. Illir took the time to explain to me the best options and gave me some hope to continue my business. He treated me like an individual and looked out for my best interest in helping me get my business and life back on track. After 3 years of trusting his judgement we can now function and keep our focus on our business. I highly recommend this c

Have been using Ilir and his team for many years for both personal and business even before he had his current office location. Always performed above and beyond to maximize our returns and quarterly statements for our business. Used many others in the valley but none compared to the service and end results we received.

Idaho Tax and Bookeeping Services, LLC has provided excellent service to me for multiple years. They go above and beyond, the extra mile every time. They have provided my companies payroll correct and on time. They complete my business and personal taxes and I feel like I am working with friends because they are so fun, polite, friendly, courteous. I have been in business since 2004 having had to go through several CPAs/Bookkeepers to finally find a tax preparer that makes me feel at home, and goes out of t

Ilir is wonderful to work with. His speed, accuracy, and attention to customer service set him apart in this competitive field. I highly recommend Idaho Tax & Bookkeeping Services!

My wife and I highly recommend Idaho Tax and Bookkeeping Services! We have had Idaho Tax and Bookkeeping prepare our taxes for the last two years, and they have done a wonderful job for us. Idaho Tax and Bookkeeping has earned 5 out of 5 stars from us!

Ilir is the best!!! He takes the time to explain different scenarios, and options when we don't understand. He replies to our emails efficiently, and very accurate! Would recommend him to everyone! His entire staff is always warm, and welcoming, great job everyone!!

This year was my first time not filing taxes with Jackson Hewitt or HR Block. I would have never taken the time to write a review for either of those companies. However Ilir Nina at ITBS was so friendly, and he helped me file using deductions I didn't even know about (deductions that other companies never took the time to explain). This resulted in faster and more accurate filing, with a better refund! A great company!

Idaho Tax is the best. Extremely professional. Mr Nina is and his staff are so helpful and and they know exactly what to do to help with taxes and explain all the laws. I would highly recommend them.

Ilir has been doing my taxes for years. Now his team at Idaho Tax and Bookkeeping, takes care of my payroll and accounting. I could not be happier with their hard work, and attention to detail!

Honesty and integrity come to mind when Idaho Tax and Bookkeeping is mentioned. When it comes to filing taxes, one needs to feel like they are working with a partner. One that you feel comfortable with and one that you fee you can trust. Illir and company meets all of these expectations and more.

Ilir and Will are great. I have used Ilir for 5 years. Both Ilir and Will have always taken time for me no matter how big or small my issue. These guys are great and I will continue to use them for my business and personal taxes for many years to come.

Ilir takes care of all of my needs and unlike some past experiences Ilir make recommendations that save me money. I have total confidence in the crew at Idaho Tax & Bookkeeping.

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.
