Unprofessional and Unwilling to Compromise I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Mango Tax. Despite having a clearly outlined contract and reaching out in good faith to discuss a compromise regarding our agreement, the company refused to engage in any meaningful negotiation or offer of comprise. Their lack of flexibility and unwillingness to honor the spirit of our agreement speaks volumes about their customer service and business ethics. What's worse, every attempt to resolve the issue amic
Thank God I found Mango Tax. I needed help with filing for my business desperately. I hired 2 other accounting firms in Arizona and had the worst experience. I was literally behind several years! mango Tax got rid the late penalties and interest that would?ve been a nightmare for my small business. I am now using them to continue filing as they've been lifesavers. Nothing bad to say about them at all. Only good. I highly recommend their services. They are great at what they do, diligent and reassuring.
Collected 100 from me and wanted another 600 before they could even tell me what they could do for me. I cancelled after the 100 because I found a firm that told me excatly what it would cost. You need to be transparent because it will prevent wasting your time and a client.
Mango Tax was recommended to me and they absolutely crushed it. They were communicative during the entire process and I never once felt left in the dark or curious as to what was happening. They are extremely knowledgeable and kind and I cannot thank them enough for their diligence and professionalism. HIGHLY RECCOMEND
Mango Tax was a lifesaver for me and my tax situation. They were very professional and compassionate. They kept me informed of the progress on my situation in a timely manner. Our tax situation was resolved positively.
Mango took care of me from the beginning. I felt ultra comfortable with Jason, and from there it took off. Everything he said he would do, he did. This is how things used to be in good business. Our tax relationship continues on a yearly basis, i am a client for life.

Jason over at Mango took amazing care of me, i really trusted him with my situation, i owe over 25 thousand to the governmnt, and he took care of it... he put me on the shelf and i dont owe to the IRS any more money. I am thankful to such a high degree now.

Jason and Kathy are outstanding, ive used them for years on my business tax books and returns, but i met them from having an excess payroll tax issue, they helped settle it with the IRS and got my penalties removed (trust fund penalties). Worth their weight in gold!

Mango Tax'a revenue officer protection was a safety net during a difficult tax situation.
This company has scammed us for hundreds of dollars for a service they never finished and wanted to charge us an extra $1800.00. We find this utterly ridiculous and weren't told anything of this sort when we began working together. They're a rip off and are falsely advertising on Facebook! Do more research because this fly by night company isn't legit. Beware.
I'm grateful for the peace of mind Mango Tax Resolution provided during a stressful time.

The best help we ever had
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.
