Make My Day CPA is a great and helpful team. We have been working with them for several years now doing our personal taxes. They are always willing to assist you with any kind of question and give you great recommendations to manage your finance information making it easier to go through the tax declarations. I recommend them for their knowledgeable staff and personalized service.
I was very pleased with my consultation that I received with Make My Day CPA. I had the pleasure of working with a CPA named Maher whom was very knowledgeable and concise in giving me tax information and guidance for forming my LLC. If you are looking to file your taxes or are looking for legal advice about your business, it is worth the time to speak to the accountants at MMD CPA, they do not waste your time and they will spare you a very profound headache.
This place is the best of the best. They are honest, knowledgable, and prompt. I mainly dealt with Madina Mojadidi. She is the office manager that gets-things-done! I called in in need of my payroll taxes reduced as I knew I was paying too much per paycheck. I was booked for an appointment super quick., Madina realized I'm in Maryland and opted to do a virtual meeting. She actually gave me a great discount and the price was way below what I thought I would pay. They advised it would be $55 for 15 mins. Th
I never would have come across "make my day cpa" had it not been for visiting another vendor in the same building. I had been doing my own taxes with Turbotax for the last several years but as my situation became more complex, I no longer felt confident to do so. I found "make my day CPA" to be very professional, easy to work with and very efficient. I initially met with Carolina, reviewed my tax situation, and asked for a cost quote - which turned out to be very reasonable. I then sent my paperwork ove
Make My Day CPA has been helping me file for personal and corporate tax returns and I've been closely working with Jeff Marchetti. They are always available for any questions I may have and have been offering sound and proactive advice, even during the busy tax season. Strongly recommend them for their friendly and personable services!
When I most needed during the 2021 tax season, after having difficulties finding a good CPA firm, I found Make My Day CPA. Its GM Carolina de Garcia was courteous, diligent, professional, and provide me overall excellent service. I highly recommend her services. Dr. Valenti
It's hard to imagine taxes being a pleasant experience, but somehow this firm made it possible. I needed help with one of my tax forms and this firm came through more than I could have expected. The staff here are extremely responsive. They saved me time and money, and I will be forever grateful. I give them full marks for customer service. Not only are they responsive, but they are also friendly and caring. True professionals. THANK YOU!
Please don?t use this company. I was ridiculously over charged to file my business and personal taxes. To make matters worse I was send a nasty email by the office manager when I noticed an error on my return that I would be charged extra for them( the CPA ) to correct them. Regardless of them sending the threatening email the CPA still spelled my name wrong on my personal return.
After several months of driving by Make My Day CPA, I finally decided to stop by to see if they could help us. Our first meeting with Boris was a joy. He took time to explain various options for my husband's business. Their accounting system is very thorough, transparent and the customer service is top notch.
I wanted to take a moment to recognize Mr. Rahman for his services. We found our experience with ?Make My Day CPA? very enjoyable. We especially appreciated knowing Mr. Rahman?s background and experience as it provided a layer of confidence we were hoping to find. He was attentive, asked all the right questions and made sure we understood the expectations. In short, he treated us like trusted friends and that was much appreciated. We were confident in knowing that Mr. Rahman looked at every option avai
I had been working with Turbo Tax previously and decided it was time to visit an accounting professional since I had purchased and sold property. All tax preparation can be handled through the use of their cloud based portal which is a definite advantage for the customer. The staff is very organized and handles all matters in a professional manner. The parent company NBAC, has been in operation since 1982 and they know how to treat their customers.
During my first appointment with Make my Day I was met initially with an the CPA's assistant who took all my forms (which they had asked for) and talked to me for some time. This was weird because over the phone the appointment was said to be made with the CPA herself. So just be sure when you make an appointment that you know who it's with and what will occur. The assistant after looking at all my tax papers gave me a quote for $350- 375, then a quote for $450- 475, then a quote for $550- 575, then was to
Wonderful and cordial service from a CPA with good knowledge of US citizens living abroad. I owe a corporation and I needed advice on business and personal Tax matters living abroad. Highly recommended, totally worth the money I paid for consultation. :)
Although the manager was really nice/apologetic. It was unprofessional to pay for a service to see the CPA who did my taxes spell my name wrong on every tax return document. Questions how well they double checked my documents.
Make My Day CPA provided me with excellent service, tax preparation and advise. I won't look anywhere else for tax advise. They were a joy to work with.
Make My Day CPA employs great people, solid business processes, and the latest in Cloud Computing technologies to provide exceptional services to its clients. Experience the difference!

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.
