I have gone thru many different CPAs/agents for my small business, in an attempt to find someone who would put the time and effort into explaining things to me and giving me advice as a first time business owner. That search ended when I was referred to Kamish & Associates by a friend who had previously used their services. Zach and his staff are amazing; they are always available for questions and they answer my emails promptly whenever I need anything and/or have questions. I highly recommend this firm fo
Zach is extremely knowledgeable and very patient. I started with him as a new agent in insurance and over the course of a year and a half he has helped optimize my income better than I would have ever been able to do myself, let alone what my past CPAs have done. Communication is excellent, consistently answers questions same-day and works the extra hours to accommodate my busy schedule. I cannot recommend Zach highly enough, he truly is the best at what he does.
Zach Kamish has been a pleasure to work with and is extremely knowledgeable. He has saved me and my business a ton of money and has been the only CPA that has been able to handle all of my questions, concerns, and quickbooks accounts quickly and with ease. I highly recommend Zach to anyone, whether you're filing personal or for a business. You will be happy with his results, professionalism, and knowledge.
If you are looking for an accountant and want peace of mind and to be taken care of, then choose Zach as your CPA. I have worked with Zach for several years in several capacity?s. IRS notice? Zach?s on it. Payment plan? Zach?s on it. Monthly bookkeeping and quarterly business planning? Zach?s on it. Even in the busiest of tax times, Zach assists and handles all of my accounting needs. I?m so thankful to have his knowledge and how he genuinely cares about his clients success.
Zach is awesome! We were so blessed to find him a few years ago. Our old accountant had us never getting ahead. We are small business owners and we were constantly paying ridiculous amounts of money to the IRS and didn't understand it. Needless to say, Zach came in and corrected everything for us. He found a tremendous amount of errors and we are now in the positive. We have not looked back! Zach is always responsive, on point and always helpful! He is definitely the BEST and so sincere! Thank You Zach!
I have been working with Zach for less than a year now. He already has saved us thousands multiple times. He was able to fix my families returns for last year that were done by the accountant we used last year. He found that the last accountant missed a lot and got us quite a bit back. Then most recently we got a letter from the IRS stating that we owed more money from this years return. Zach was sick and still responded and got it taken care of so we did not owe anything. I highly recommend him!
Kamish & associates has always been responsive, professional and extremely knowledgeable regarding business and personal tax services. With fast accurate and guidance Zack offers clear, precise, and to the point services. It's a shame that my disgruntled ex-husband/ business partner was upset that he couldn't circumvent the legal presiding of our nasty divoce. Zack will continue to be not just my personal cpa but the cpa I will recommend to others both for business and personal services.
If I could give them 10* I would. Not only are they proactive, but they made improvements to our bottom line that our previous 2 CPAs had never discussed with us. Zach has been a breathe of fresh air for us, and we have been thankful for all his guidance the past 2 years, and look forward to 20 more. Thanks for keeping us on track and accountable to ourselves Zach!
I highly recommend Kamish and associates for any of your tax preparation needs. This firm is reliable, professional and quick to respond to our tax questions and preparation. This firm goes to great lengths to provide tax associated knowledge.

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.
