Customer Reviews

We used Lutz Hoenig in our company?s infancy and still do today! Our business, LoveHair Color and Design, has been open since 2011. We left once only to come back. They offer excellent customer service and amazing accounting services. Their company has grown with ours. Joe, Natalie and their team are first rate! They go above and beyond on a daily basis!

I?ve been with Joe Lutz since the day he started his accounting firm. He and now his daughter Natalie, have been super supportive especially in dealing with my on going battle with the IRS. I was audited every other year and never had ?change? in my return. Despite the clean record we were forced into IRS tax court. Joe represented me and won the case decidedly. I have not been bothered by them since. If you are looking for honest, supportive, and considerate accountants?.look no further.

After years filing on my own, followed a recommendation by my estate lawyer and Natalie did not disappoint. Super fast responses and she also found some missed opportunities and adjusted accordingly. The Tax Dome app helps keep things organized and I've already started uploading receipts for this year! Amazing!

I began hiring Joe Lutz thrity-four years ago. I had little concern about choosing his firm as they were referred by a partner in a Boulder real estate brokerage. They have saved me way more than I have paid them. Their knowledge of the tax codes and the law, has caught things I would never have been aware of. You can expect freindly professional service.

I got to know Joe, Silva and Natalie through a networking group and they did my taxes for many years. They did a superb job, always professional and always thorough, and I became friends with them too. Very very positive experience all the way around.

I?ve been a client of Lutz Hoenig for over 9 years. They are a great company to work with and are always willing to help out when needed. They have been a great partner and deliver value. I?m glad they are on our team.

We have been using Lutz Hoenig CPAs for almost 14 years now for our business. They are informative and brilliant in all things accounting and business.

Natalie and the Lutz | Hoenig CPA firm is fantastic. I switched over about 2 years ago and the consultation they have provided has been invaluable. They manage everything from my books to payroll to tax returns and everything in between. My taxes have become much less painful with their advice, resulting in more manageable monthly payments instead of huge quarterly or yearly payments. I'd highly recommend them to any small business looking for great communication and consultation around taxes and tax planni

Joe Lutz and his team came highly recommended by a business associate. My husband and I started out with Joe just doing our taxes. It was a very good experience and so we decided to try out the Advisory Services part of his business because we are nearing retirement. I have to say, we are so glad we did and have benefitted so much from his years of experience. His knowledge and advice on all aspects of retirement planning from real estate, to budgeting for retirement, to stock investments, 401ks and more ha

Natalie and her team were so refreshing to work with. As a small business owner I appreciated how Natalie was always quick to respond and extremely knowledgable. They did an amazing job and I look forward to working with them in the future.

I have worked with a good number of CPA firms throughout Colorado and Lutz | Hoeing is the best of the best. They truly care about their clients and are always looking for ways to innovate their firm offerings to ensure they are providing the best services to their clients. Appreciate all you do, team!

Knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. I highly recommend Lutz Hoenig CPA for your small business needs!

Natalie and her dad Joe have teken great care of me for 8 years! I own my business and five rentals - they help me with book keeping, taxes, payroll, and tax planning. Highly recommend!

After running our business for 25 years, we heard about Lutz | Hoenig CPAs, and we're glad that we were referred to them. They customized a small business package for our service company and were always available to answer our questions. Taking over our payroll and taxes gave us valuable time to focus on maintaining our customer relationships. We highly recommend Lutz | Hoenig CPAs.

I never posted a negative review before, but I think my experience needs to be shared. I am a small business owner on a limited budget. When I started my business, I was told to work with a CPA as they are providing the highest quality service and they will make sure my accounting and tax filings will be accurate. So, I hired Lutz / Hoenig CPAs in 2018. I guess you don?t know what you don?t know until things fall apart. As luck would have it, a friend of mine (also a CPA) offered to look over my accounting

Lutz CPA takes such great care of me and my small business. Their Small Business Package is ideal for a single employee S Corp like me. Compared to my past where I've had to do all my own bookkeepping and tax filing, this year has been a breeze thanks to Natalie and Joe Lutz! I've already recommended them to all of my small business owner friends and I'll continue to recommend them. Thank you Natalie & Joe!

Natalie and team have been a great team to work with. They are timely with their deliverables and have been instrumental as I transitioned into having my own business. They handle my business payroll, business taxes and our personal taxes and communicate as needed to ensure my husband's income is taken into account to ensure we are maximizing our options in the present as well as future financial goals.

As a small business owner, it's very hard to find reliable CPA firms to handle all of my accounting needs. I've used Lutz CPA for the last 7 years and I have to say it's the most professional CPA I have utilized in Colorado. Lutz CPA has helped me with my payroll protection loan and helped me navigate numerous complex tax transactions. Thank you for being a great CPA! I would highly recommend Lutz CPA to any business owner.

We have been with Lutz Hoenig CPA for a few years now and as small business owners we have had an incredible experience! They bring so much peace of mind to our family and I feel like I am always kept in the know of what?s going on. I have referred other small business owners to them and they have had a great experience as well! Thank you guys for all your hard work and attention to detail :)

At the beginning of our services with Lutz, we seemed to be receiving the desired results. As time went on, the communication/service was significantly lacking which forced us to switch services in 2021. Upon switching Accountants and a review of our records, it was determined that our accounts hadn't been reconciled for at least a year and a half. Our contract consisted of a monthly reconciliation of all accounts and payroll which we paid monthly for these services. After bringing this to Lutz CPA's attent

We got started with Lutz and Associates nearly 30 years ago. We have enjoyed the relationship very much. Joe has guided us through the many ups and downs of being a small business owner, including some very challenging years. His expertise has been invaluable to us.

Joseph and Natalie are amazing accountants! I had a very complex situation, and they helped guide me to an S Corp, setting up the correct accounts and such to save me time and money. They took the time to analyze my situation and educate me on various benefits and risks of the tax code. I recommend them to everyone, especially those in the Real Estate industry, they are so knowledgeable and helpful!

Natalie and the entire team do an extraordinary job keeping my small business on track!!! Whenever I call with a question they always answer or call me right back and have the right answers. They are very organized and make sure all my bookkeeping is on point every month. I would recommend them to all local small business owners that want a CPA that's affordable, reliable and really cares about their clients.

Natalie at Lutz CPA is my preferred CPA. I rely on her help for both personal and business taxes. Not only does she do my taxes but offers me accurate advice and keeps me up to date on any changes in the tax code so that I can minimize my tax burden. I highly recommend her.

I don't like submitting negative reviews for small businesses, but I have had such an overwhelming negative experience with Lutz | Hoenig, I wanted to make sure no one makes the same mistake I do. I hired them in August of 2022 to get my books together. There has been a persistent problem with Natalie (the CPA) saying one thing and her staff saying something else. That is fine. The issues really started this week: *On Monday, Natalie recently had a baby, so I purchased a card and a $25 gift card to congra

We have been through a lot of CPA's and we have loved our experience with Joseph D. Lutz CPA. Natalie is organized, on top of it and explains everything to us. We would HIGHLY recommend them if you are a small business, as they really cater to you and help you make the right tax decisions for your business.

As you may be seeking a new Accountant, I needed to do the same three years ago for my business. After researching and concluding my selection, I chose Natalie and her team and could not be happier. They are quick to respond, diligent in keeping needs in check, a reliable source for support and help, and overall performing above my expectations.

In the past 20 years I've hired various CPAs... I thought I was outgrowing them, the last one I knew wasn't serving me well. And then I found Natalie. WOW. I get excited when she calls & always hang up smiling. I wonder how much more prosperous things could have been if I had found them sooner. They are a smidge more expensive than previous hires, but by the time all is said and done, they are making me money where they others were expenses. Defiantly an investment worth making!

Joseph D Lutz, CPA has been a wonderful asset to my business. I rely heavily on them and it feels good to know that I can count on them. It certainly helps me sleep well at night, and helps keep me focused on growing my business. I highly recommend!

I have been using Lutz CPA's for several years now. They are a great firm to work with. Any time I have a question, they are very quick to respond and clear with their instructions and answers for me. I really appreciate working with them and how they take care of my business.

Natalie and the entire staff are life savers! I love that I can count on them in answering all of my questions and calming all of my concerns. Joseph and Natalie are always current , committed, professional and personal. I have recommended them to my closest friends , colleagues, and family. Top Notch family!

I started my business at the end of 2019 and was introduced to Natalie and her team in February 2020. Her and her team have been amazing and they keep all of our financials in order. Gives us some peace of mind knowing that they have our back.

I love working with the Lutz's! I trust them to help me with all my accounting needs and they guide me through the pros and cons of various tax related decisions. I am so glad I decided to hire them.

Natalie and Joe and their whole crew are great. Their knowledge and responsiveness are unbelievable and something much needed for me and my business. Would recommend them to all small businesses!

Paying their monthly small business fee to have my taxes filed and reports filed ended up costing me more. They never filed on time. Very slow to follow up and when we decided to leave them they did not honor the months paid. Overpriced for service provided.

I wish I can have the same experience them everybody who shared they opinion about this firm, for me it was a nightmare and still is, Natalie told me everything was going to be ok and wasn't that way, she change my status from LLC to S-corp and now I can't file my taxes because the IRS wasn't wanna give me any information about my own business, she told me she was going to charge me for whatever she was going to do by with my authorization and she didn't did that when I decide to no longer keep our busines

Natalie and Joe are fantastic! They are extremely responsive and patient with me and all of my needs. They are knowledgable and helpful in keeping me organized and setting me up for success!

I have used Joseph and Natalie Lutz for several years. They are organized, helpfull and take the time to thoughtfully answer all of my questions. I recommend them to all of my friends!

Natalie is outstanding ! She is so responsive, direct, and efficient. Whenever I call or email, she is right on it! Thank you for all you and your dad do for us!

This company has been a life saver for me with knowing how to keep my taxes at a minimum during a tough time. I appreciate all they do and the knowledge they have about small business taxes.

Very good with small businesses, especially Real Estate Agents. Always available to answer questions.

LUTZ has done all my small business stuff for over 8 years and has saved me a bunch of time and money!

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.
