Customer Reviews

I have had great experiences with Lamm & Co doing my taxes the last few years. They have been completed in a timely manner and the customer service has been excellent. Highly recommend!

Tyler was very helpful and personable. He was sure to answer all of our questions during the consultation and worked promptly to meet our timeframe. The office was very comfortable and the staff were kind and welcoming.

Seriously can thank these guys enough. Tyler and Barrett helped my wife and I out of an ugly tax situation. We have gone to them for 2 years now and we have received awesome returns! If you want your taxes done correctly and fast there is not a better option!

Lamm & Co McCall staff is very knowledgeable and very responsive to our needs and situation. After meeting with Tyler and submitting our tax summary and documents, our return was finished in two days. Tyler & his staff were available for subsequent questions and requested changes.

Our taxes were done quickly with a short turnaround on the few changes we requested. The McCall staff was friendly and professional.

Used Lamm and Co this year and had the honor to work with Jolene. She was able to get my taxes done fast. The whole process was super comfortable and she made sure to get most our money back. Will be using them in the future. Thank you!

I have been a customer for 11 years and have always enjoyed the staff and great service. Jolene takes care of all of my business, payroll and tax needs throughout the year and always does a great and Thorough job. Barrett takes care of my Business and personal end of year tax needs, he always takes the time to make sure that my account with him is taken care of in a prompt and professional way. I definitely recommend Lamm Company for all of your CPA needs.

I have always done my own taxes but over the years things have become more complex so I decided to consult a CPA this year. From scheduling my appointment to sitting down with Tyler and finalizing my returns, the whole experience has been very professional and extremely timely! I would recommend anyone who wants to maximize their refund and have confidence their taxes are done right consult Tyler. 5/5 I will be using Lamm and Co McCall for my CPA needs going forward!

The McCall branch was very kind and incredibly quick to file with this year. The staff was great and Kimberley O. was able to help me get situated and file without and hassles. Great work and I?ll be back next year!

I have had a great experience at lamm and CO. They have been doing my business and my personal taxes for 6 years now. Jolene Johnson is Great to work with.

I highly recommend Lamm and Company CPA. Jolene has done an exceptional job getting our books and taxes back on track after a bad experience with a previous CPA. I highly recommend this business and their attention to detail .

Lamm & Co has been doing our taxes and payroll for years. They are so helpful and friendly. We really appreciate Jolene?s knowledge.

Lamm & Co has been doing our taxes for many years. They are always responsive, friendly, and willing to answer questions. We recommend them to everyone!

Like father Ric , Not like son Barrett Son expanded to multiple adjacent small towns, Without resources to monitor either them or the McCall practice. Boise is a good choice For a CPA

Convenient and professional! Great office and friendly staff.

We regretfully used this accounting service for 3 years, they go through so much turnover that we could never keep track of who was working on our account. Every single accountant was so rude that our group would draw straws on who would make the call to check on something because no one wanted to deal with the disrespect and the upident attitude of the staff. Would give them zero stars if that were an option!

The employee I dealt with was extremely unprofessional. My condo association dues go through them. On average it takes 2 months for my check (checks are the only accepted form of payment) to be cashed but it is not unheard of for it to take 3 or more. Not only that, but they are irresponsible with payments. In the last 8 months alone I have had two of my checks lost and one check that supposedly "the bank didn't like"? No one from Lamm and Co called to notify me of any of these problems, I only found out by

For the past two years, Tyler Lamm has managed our federal and state taxes. he does an exceptional job and is amazingly fast and expedient! Karen Balch, DVM and Olin Balch, DVM, MS, PhD.

Jolene has been our bookkeeper for quite some time! She always gets back to us very quickly and we are happy with her and Lamm & Co in McCall!

Excellent service Kelsey works my account: professional & personable Jolene?s expertise is always appreciated Kim & Ashley?s greetings are always positive & service is timely Barrett & Tyler?s tax expertise is appreciated

This accounting firm has helped with all my needs for my business for 10 years plus . Jolene is great to work with for our company.

Been using them for many years for payroll , taxes and books. Jolene is so helpful, quick and efficient. Highly Recommend

Leaving this review for Ashley David! She is so awesome to work with! Get's back to me immediately and always is so positive and easy to work with!!!

I have been trying to get my taxes done with Fruitland for five months now, and it feels like they have every ridiculous answer except for a professional one. All they women could say was taxes season isn't fun! Then he said yes we forgot to have you sign a power of agreement.then looked at me like it was my fault, needless to say I was very disappointed and then she had the full to ask me if I wanted to mail the letter, very unprofessional. Five months and still no return because of their unprofessional at

Whew where to start, I've been with Lamm and Co for several years, first off they have messed up on a deadline costing me almost 1500 dollars , he compensated that by switching my tax lady and getting " in store credit" per-say Everytime I had a quection, I felt I was putting her out in some sort of way (mind you, I have two businesses that I had them help me with) She would have a very nasty attitude with me to the point where I was nervous to contact them at all. I feel 100% at peace that I no longer use

Tyler is always very profesional and organized with both my quarterly and year end taxes. He helps me find what the best options are for me and my business each year. Always there to answer any questions I may have. Great people and great firm!

Been client in McCall for years. Great service. Jolene is always helpful with our payroll.

I have to say Jolene and Kelsey are super responsive and fast and getting things done. Great ladies to work with.

Rick is GREAT!!! I came to him with my parents finances in a crazy state and he did not blink. He is able to work with two trusts, payroll and a mid year move from California with no problems.

Great experience at the Weiser location! Tammie was a great help and answered all my questions. I will be back in the spring.

High employee turn over reflects poor company culture and management failure. Service was disorganized, inaccurate , untimely. Multiple errors on all services performed from AP to payroll.

Always come here and helpful!

Terrible service. Everyone, except the front desk gal is rude. So disappointed. I would not recommend using them unless you enjoy paying the irs.

They do an excellent job on my taxes every year. I really appreciate their time and care during such a hectic time of year for them.

Kim was very attentive to our needs and helped the process go smoothly. Thanks Kim!

I?ve been using these guys the last five years. They?ve been great to work with and very responsive! Thanks guys!

Great company has been my books for years would definitely recommend

They don't respond to their own websites communication system or phone messages. Not a good look for new customers or businesses.

Thank you for all your help. Had an issue and did a great job fixing it.

Your prompt and thorough preparation of my tax return is much appreciated.

Not the best customer service experience we have ever had. Maybe picking up the phone and asking for information from the client instead of the client waiting several weeks and having to seek YOU out. Very terrible experience!!

Not the easiest to work with but does get a good return for clients and business

Been going to same area for several years always been great close area to go too

Ashley did a great job.

Great tax preparation

Did my taxes correctly and quickly.

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.
