I had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. Thomas, and had a wonderful experience. This gentleman took care of my family and myself, best way to describe this business is you get what you pay for.
I've been working with Thomas at LYZETS TAX SERVICES for the past few years for both my business and personal tax needs. He's been consistently excellent and a true pleasure to work with. He's incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and always goes the extra mile to ensure I get the best possible outcome. Thomas has a deep understanding of tax law and is always up-to-date on the latest changes. He can handle even the most complex tax situations with ease. I never have to wait long for a response from Thoma
I had the best experience filing my taxes today. I always dread this day but Tom made this process nice and easy. I am very pleased with the outcome and the time he took to give me step by step details that I didn?t know in the past. Will definitely be back next year. Thank you.
My husband and I have been going to Tom for quite a few years now and every year we are always satisfied with the quality of service we get. Tom is very Thorough, and explains everything step by step. Never rushing. He is also very honest and we trust him with everything he does. They are a gem, in times where it?s hard to find someone who really knows what they?re doing. Tom is a great guy, we look forward to seeing him every year. Their office is always clean and welcoming, staff is always super helpful a
This place is beyond great!! I love the way they treat my husband and I when we go file our taxes. We do them with Tom who is the best!!. He takes the time to care for you and help you as much as possible. Great place to file your taxes and to rest with confidence on the experience he has. Try them you won't regret it.
We just filed our taxes with Lyzet yesterday, and WOW. She is absolutely amazing! Lyzet is extremely professional, knowledgeable, honest, and very kind. She also gives very good advice for future tax returns. We are so happy to have found her on Yelp, and will be planning to return for many many years. We will also be referring our friends and family to her as well. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much, Lyzet!
Came here base on the review I read on Yelp, and I MUST say it really is a 5 star rating! Called in and ask questions and the receptionist was very helpful answering all my questions. I then requested to make an appointment the same day, and to my surprise I was able to get an appointment. I came down with my husband and daughter, and we were greeted wonderfully and was welcomed with a smile. Thomas was our tax preparer, and I must say that he was a wonderful preparer. He helped us with filing our tax, answ
I've been going to Lyzet's Tax Services for 3 years now, I highly recommend them to family and friends, I personally get my taxes done by tom he is great and ever since I tried him out in 2012 I will never go to H&R again!! They are quick, honest and you get a great return. Thank you Tom again for help this year!!!
Lyzet has always been a pleasure to work with. She is always kind and professional. Love her work, she is always on it. I definitely recommend this business.
They deserve everyone's business, TRUST!!! YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED.
Finished our 2nd year doing our taxes here and we love the efficient, friendly and thorough service Tom?s provided each time. All questions answered and we are in and out the door in no time! Definitely takes a ton of stress and pressure off of tax season. Highly recommend!!
First time with Lyzet, she is amazing. I was behind a few years on my taxes. She guided me on how to get all my paperwork. I was so nervous but she helped me tremendously. The process was so easy I completely recommend her. Thank you so much!!!
My husband and I came here last Tuesday because we thought we scheduled a same day appointment online? but it actually scheduled for the next week. The workers here were so apologetic and scheduled us an appointment for the next week that we were available. Thomas was our tax preparer. He gave us a discount for the inconvenience of having to bring our kids in last week, thinking we were getting a same day appointment . He was so welcoming & friendly. Thomas seemed very knowledgable about taxes.Thomas kept t
Excellent, fast service! Professional people that know their stuff. You actually get help with professionals that know taxes rather than assistants like at some other places I've been to. Highly recommended for truck drivers.
2022 has been a learning experience with Lzets tax service gave me my knowlage of having perspective of money. They helped me for 3 years and I will continue to be apart of there service thank you. $125 for my service but worth every penny??????
This place is great. We have been coming here for a few years now and I tell all my friends and family to have their taxes done here. We typically see Thomas who is very knowledgeable and professional. Definitely recommend using them to have your taxes done.
Tom and Liz are both amazing human beings who always put the customers needs first. I have been with them for 8 years now and they handle our tax needs with great care.
I've been going to Lyzet's Tax Services for over10 years , Tom and Lyzet are the best!! the team takes there time to fine every deduction possible to get you a nice tax refund.
Great people great service. As a Professional truck driver it's hard to find a tax preparer who knows what they're doing and you can always tell right off the bat! Talk to Tom
Excellent, professional and fast tax preparation at a fair cost. I was very impressed with Thomas. He made sure he found all of the deductions I qualified for and explained everything in a detailed yet understandable manner. I was ecstatic with the tax refund I received this year. In the past I always prepared and e-filed my own taxes using one of the popular software packages, but had both a home purchase and refi last year and didn't want to mess with the additional paperwork or risk making a mistake. I
Made an appointment at 12:30pm. Got a confirmation text message and everything. But the doors were locked, unable to get inside. Wasted my time.
Would highly not recommend this place!!! They do not breakdown/explain anything to you at all. I filed back in 2017/2018 this year went to file they didn't have my records in the system. Anyone is better off doing taxes through turbotax free and they explain a step by step better then these idiots!!!
I love Lyzet's Tax Services very clean and tidy I make my appointment online and Lyzet has me in and out in about 20 minutes very efficient she explains everything it's been 4 years since I became a client and now my son is a client as well?
Had to do 3 yrs of filing Tom was super helpful and professional, explained everything he was doing, and charged me 1/3rd the price of H&R block.
Have gone to Lyzets tax services for 5 years and the service is always wonderful. Her and her husband are very knowledgeable and professional.
My husband and I have had a great experience working with Lyzets for the past several years. We would highly recommend to anyone!
I have to rate them a 5....Tom is really great, helpful ,professional and fun to see every year....If you need a tax person i recommend 100%
Went to Tom and Lyzet for years with all my family and friends until WE saw the RED FLAGS ??????
I LOVE IT I REFER EVERYONE I KNOW TO THEM THEY ARE THEY BEST WOULD NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE AND THEY ALSO HANDLE ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF YOUR FINANCES THEY ARE AMAZING BOTH TOM & LYZET!!!!
They never called me back(even though I left a voicemail)so I went elsewhere. Don't recommend this place since they are not professional enough to make a simple phone call.
This is the 1st year with Tom, but let us tell you, it was the best expierence ever with our taxes, quick, easy and a great outcome... thanks Turbo Tom!!!
Thomas Snipp is very professional and very humble person. He's the best tax advisor.!!
Awesome , I will not have anyone else to prepare my taxes. Excellent customer service.
Love her. She's been helping me for years and can't imagine anyone else doing my taxes.
Excellent experience I will be using them again

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.
