Customer Reviews

Jim was amazing! The process was so easy. I am definitely recommending Jim to assist people I know with their taxes. I will continue to work with him in the future for sure. I am very pleased. Thank you Jim!!!

I had two 1099s and two W2s for my taxes this year and felt overwhelmed with it all. I had previously found a different accountant who was willing to help me out but she was charging me an arm and a leg for it. Then I found Jim and it almost sounded too good to be true but he?s legit! I got my taxes done and got some money back! I was relieved that I didn?t have to pay taxes and that it all worked out and he did everything for a reasonable price. Jim met with me and my husband twice through video call to ex

WORDS CAN?T EXPLAIN! Jim is quick and efficient with numbers and most importantly straight to the point. I had no idea which way to turn and Jim took over the wheel! I had exactly what I needed in less than 20 minutes. The best company for your accounting and tax needs! Thanks Jim you?re literally a lifesaver. Look no further!

Jim has been a complete lifesaver for my business! Before finding Jim, I had so much anxiety around taxes and Quickbooks because I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Jim is incredibly knowledgeable on business/personal taxes and money management. He is a great communicator and responds right away whenever I have questions. He?s always happy to go above and beyond in helping his clients and I am ever so grateful for him!

Jim is a top notch accountant! He provides fantastic service and walks you through every step. Additionally, not only does he provide great service, he educates his clients on understanding their tax return, and explains everything in a common sense type of way.

Jim with JES is fantastic! He's been such an asset in the tax category as a self-employed individual. Jim is always super helpful, knowledgable and thoughtful! He knows what he's doing - I have full trust in him for all things taxes and accounting. A friend recommended him to me + I'm forever grateful! (& always recommending to my small biz or self-employed frinds)

A friend referred me to Jim two years ago and I'm so grateful! Jim is highly knowledgeable, patient, explains everything clearly and is always available to answer my questions. Makes taxes easy - highly recommend!

I use JES Accounting for multiple businesses and am extremely satisfied with the work they do. Jim Srour is excellent and is always there when you need him 24/7. Starting my business career in 2011, I've had two other CPAs where I felt I was treated like a stranger and that I was never given the time I needed to get my questions answered. Thankfully, I finally connected with Jim in 2017 and not only has my taxes been significantly smoother, I have made a genuine friend who is an expert in the accounting bu

As someone who understands nothing about taxes and finances Jim made filing my taxes such a breeze. It was so easy to work with him and understand exactly how to write off etc. He was patient and was so beyond helpufl!

We trust JES Accounting for both our personal taxes as well as our business taxes. At JES, they make us feel like family rather than a client. We worked with Jim and he was a very well spoken and friendly person. I wouldn't take my business any where else.

Jim is very through , great at his work and understanding! He?s actually my third accountant, so I haven?t had much luck on the past but I?m glad I got referred to him! He?s the best ????

All the reviews are right! JES Accounting was recommended by a friend and so glad we made the switch. We didn?t understand the nuances of doing taxes for our business, and Jim was great at helping us navigate the process. He is always available to answer questions and has a speedy turnaround time. Highly recommend JES Accounting for hassle free tax season!

Love the type of personal relationship that I have with Jim. He is honest and dedicated to solving any type of accounting issues that one may face. Highly recommend this company to anyone who needs an honest and diligent company to handle their affairs. Affordable pricing, excellent communication, this company really takes the pressure off when it comes to tax season.

Jim is the best I?ve ever dealt with. My first year with my own business and JESAccounting made it easy for me. Great response time and works throughly to make sure you?re taken care of. Don?t think of using anyone else for your needs.

He did our personal taxes and was insanely thorough. We had a number of circumstances that made filing very complex, and he navigated it perfectly. He is a great communicator and ensures timely completion of desired service. I will continue to use him going forward, and I would not hesitate to refer him to friends and family to help with their business and personal accounting needs.

I would highly recommend Jes Accounting to anyone seeking help for their taxes. Five stars wouldn?t be good enough for my experience with this firm. Jes is kind, knowledgeable and very helpful. Most importantly you work with the best and someone that cares. A very hard combination to find? thank you for all !!

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.
