Calyn Miller and his team are excellent in everyway possible. They all are very friendly and are helpful in their work and customer service. They all are really good at preparing business , personal taxes and offer a bookkeeping service as well if it suits your needs. They are very good at solving tax and accounting issues easily that other accounting firms know little to nothing about. They are very competetively priced for the great customer service they provide. They helped a friend of mine with hi
I filed amended tax with them 4 months ago, when i used to check the status online it wasn?t showing so I thought maybe there was a problem but today I received the check in the mail. I will definitely do my taxes with those people from now on.
Had a great experience working with L.C. Miller. They were professional, explained things thoroughly and clearly, and made the entire process easy. Definitely recommend !!
WOW! I continually receive individualized help I really, truly need from both Candice & Matt. One helps me with my accounting. The other helps me with my taxes. I needed HUGE help sorting out my accounting needs for my small business. I also needed HUGE help sorting out several years of botched tax returns from an ugly divorce, then later after re-marrying, a joint return where I was due over $4K from the IRS. Both Candice & Matt were extremely patient with me, meeting me where I was literally at, via
Calyn Miller and his team of associates are in my opinion the best tax preparing and bookkeeping business that I have ever come across on my travels. I have dealt with mainly Calyn and Candice Hughes and both are excellent at communicating and so is all the staff for that matter. They are all experts in solving all the complex issues with the new tax law changes, etc that alot of the other tax preparing companies have not got a clue about. They are very old school in their business which is rare anymore
This group is AMAZING! We have been with them for several years now for our small business and personal taxes and have referred several friends and companies- NO COMPLAINTS!

Excellent accounting and record keeping business. I am very satisfied with their integrity and honesty. They are all very friendly and very easy to get a hold of to answer any questions or concerns that you may have about your tax return. This is my final stop after dealing with a lot of different accounting firms throughout my career and I have found it very hard to find my way to an accounting company like this one. I am extremely satisfied with Calyn Miller and his group of wonderful colleagues. The
I did my taxes here last year. It was quick, professional, and affordable. Additionally Calyn had great tax advice as well. They break down your taxes for you in an easy to understand manner. And they can give you a printout of that breakdown. I highly recommend this place. I plan on going here this year to do my taxes again. I plan on telling all my friends and family about this place too.
After many years with the same CPA, I had to find a new person to take their place. I was referred to L.C. Miller CPA. Now, I've used this office for many years. Calyn takes his time to explain all of the details, in a relaxed & comfortable atmosphere. They are always available to answer questions. I would recommend them to all of my friends and family.
Calyn and his team are excellent in everyway possible in the tax preparing business. Calyn and his team were extremely personable and friendly from start to finish and we were highly impressed as we were not used to this from other accountants, as they are not that easy to have a normal conversation with in general or answer normal regular questions honestly for that matter. They all are very easy to get a hold of regarding any questions or concerns you may have with your tax return. At this company your t
This gentleman just helped prepare my mother's taxes after loosing her husband late last year. When he invoiced her, the charge was $0.00... That's a special kind of thoughtfulness not often found in business or especially in financial dealings. Thank you for your kind generosity to her at such a sensitive time. May God bless you.

This is the 2nd year I am using Miller services for taxes. I sent all my papers on 2.27.23, they havent finished my taxes till 4.13.23 despite multiple reminders, emails, phone calls. extreme delay, procrastination, recklessness. Kristin Hughes in their office was handling my tax case, he is highly inefficient, has done way too many errors on my taxes, did not rectify them. I had to do my taxes online after waiting till the last minute causing me extreme inconvenience, undue anxiety. Pathetic customer servi
Calyn Miller is an excellent accountant and I highly recommend him! He prepared taxes for our small business this year. He is incredibly organized, thorough, and friendly, and left us feeling at ease and well taken care of. After preparing our 1040 with very little effort on our part, he sent us a copy of the return, payment vouchers, envelopes prepared with the proper address to mail our payments, and the dates and amounts of our estimated payments for the rest of the year. Additionally, he is very easy
I am a former business owner for more than 30 years. I appreciate excellent customer service when I get it as it is rare anymore these days. I had to close my business due to illness and fell on hard times as I was not able to work much if at all sometimes but the bills kept coming in as usual. I was looking for a down to earth accountant that understood all the different tax laws and that was experienced in different aspects of accounting techniques. I was referred to Calyn who is the owner by a friend
I have been going to Calyn Miller for my business and personal taxes for years. I recommended him to my family and friends and they all go to him now too. He is thorough, extraordinarily knowledgeable, responsive and the BEST value you will find from any CPA. They are a family oriented business who truly cares about giving the best service to every customer. I would give more stars if possible!
Calyn has been my cpa the last two years and he?s amazing! This year I?m looking to buy a house and he has been super quick to respond, patient , understanding, and very helpful with the help I?ve needed from him . He?s very knowledgeable along with his team . Glad I switched from H&R Block lol especially since they messed up my taxes three years ago . Switching to a legitimate cpa is a must for many reasons and having Calyn and his team help with your taxes is something you surely won?t regret!
Normally don?t leave reviews, but was so impressed with our experience. Met with Calyn today and he was very professional, knowledgeable and took a stressful situation for us and made it simple and walked away stress free and confident our taxes were prepared correctly. Hours are convenient. We were not price gauged and will be coming back year after year.
Going on my third year here. My former accountant recommended them when he retired I'm so glad it's all worked out well. Definitely would recommend.
Absolutely Wonderful! When I came through the door, I was pleasantly greeted by a nice young gentleman and Taylor. Mr Miller was so kind helping me figure out where the heck I've been wasting all my money!! It organized it in categories so that I could see where I need to cut back. I really feel they are on my team looking out for me. Thankful!!!
Amazing team that works here. I?ve been here twice and both times I?ve received tremendous help regarding stocks, taxes, crypto and questions about my job. Highly recommend them especially when they were so patient with my situation.
I would highly recommend their services. We made the switch last year and couldn?t be happier. Super friendly and family orientated. Has a room for your kids if you need to bring them, that will keep them busy. He really know his stuff and walks you though the whole process. 100% satisfaction on our end.
Calyn and Melika have both been thorough and prompt helping me fix some errors of my own causing. They helped me get things back in order, and I feel much more confident that things will move smoothly in the future.
Exceptional service! I quit turbo tax cold turkey. I don't dread tax day anymore. Such a breeze. I just drop off some paperwork and get a tax return later that week. Why do it any other way?
Saw me within a day of our initial phone call and had my tax revision done in under an hour! Everyone showed me incredible kindness and professionalism! I will be coming back for many years!
Calyn is simply outstanding! The service and support provided by him and his team is top notch.
This CPA is amazing and saved me from a few heart attacks. I can not be more impressed with how personable and at ease it is especially when dealing with IRS!!!
Great Cpa and accounting services. High quality with integrity. They really care to serve in the best way possible. Thanks for all the great work you do for me.
These folks went above and beyond to help this small business owner. Completely exceeded my expectations! They were thorough, polite, and extremely helpful. I would recommend to anyone!
This was the best experience I could ask for. I can?t wait to tell everyone where to go for their small business
Calyn is always professional, efficient, and highly informative!
Extremely competent, efficient, and great value
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.
