Customer Reviews

We have received a 5 star experience with Marinucci & Associates from the first moment we inquired about working with them! It's such a relief to work with a team that has systems in place and great communication - it's been a difference of night and day vs other CPAs we've worked with in the past. Feeling very fortunate to have found them & now our nightmares of filing are in the past! ?? Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough great things about Marinucci & Associates. They're attentive, understanding, and patient, and have taught me a lot about running my small business. They're accessible and will meet with you when needed. Their communication is also on point!

If there was an option for 10 stars I would give it. Rocco has helped me tremendously with my business. I hired their team for bookkeeping and tax filing. Their communication & customer service is unmatched.

Rocco hasn't even filed my taxes yet and I'm here to tell you, if you're looking for a CPA, LOOK NO FURTHER!!! As a photographer, I have worn many hats for 2 years, but the time has come to outsource taxes and all accounting needs. I had so many questions and Rocco was patient and thorough with answering them all. His responses were educated and also easy to make sense of (which was important to me, since I still want to understand everything that's happening). Every interaction I have experienced so far h

I like to joke with Rocco that he's both my therapist and my accountant, because that's how much he cares! Rocco keeps more than just my books, he keeps my sanity. He's the most responsive service provider I've ever worked with, and he probably works too much, but that's great for us! He is thorough, professional and knowledgeable, particularly when it comes to his understanding of the wedding photography industry, and small businesses in general. Not to mention, he's incredibly supportive and wants all of

Rocco is the very best. Since hiring him a few years ago, he has not only done a fantastic job with my taxes, but I have learned so much about how to better run my business and make sure everything is in order and thriving. I felt like I was drowning in questions about my bookkeeping, taxes, and finances, but Rocco has answered every question without ever making me feel like I'm not doing well enough or should have known the answer already. He's very kind and patient and goes above and beyond. I cannot reco

I cannot say enough good things about Rocco Tundo. After having a pretty terrible experience with a past CPA, I am beyond grateful to have found him. As a first time business filer, I was extremely overwhelmed and behind with filing. Rocco has not only gotten me caught up to where I need to be, but has taught me so much in terms of how to keep my books more organized, how to file properly, etc. As the owner of a wedding photography business, it has also been super beneficial that he has experience with my i

As a new small business owner I wanted to ensure I was laying a solid foundation on which to build my business. Rocco worked with me to review the current state of my business and gave me some amazing insight, tools, tips, and encouragement on how to move forward in a way that makes me feel confident about my next steps. Rocco is very approachable, down to earth, explain things very well and truly understood my vision for the future of my business. It?s a true pleasure working with him.

As a small business owner, a great accountant is an absolute must. I love how Rocco makes everything make sense & is always open to explaining things in a simple, easy-to-understand way. I've used two accountants prior to him and I'm genuinely so excited to be working with him instead (in the nicest way). If you're looking for someone who is smart, kind, and will serve you well ? you found him.

Rocco is THE BEST! If you're looking for CPA, he is your man. As a an owner of a videography company my taxes have always been a mess. Once I started working with Rocco (this is my first year) he has been nothing but the best of help. He is very responsive, answers any questions I have, gets work done quickly, teaches me along the way and the man knows what he is doing! For the first time in over 5 years I feel confident in my accounting/tax part of the business. Thank you Rocco

Working with Rocco to put my business in order has been such a great experience. I have worked with other CPA's in the past and I can confidently say that my experience with Rocco was the best, by far. He is patient, understanding and very knowledgable. I would highly recommend this service, especially if numbers just aren't your thing!

Rocco is THE GUY if you're looking for a CPA, especially all you photographers/creatives! No one knows as much about photography specific industry aspects like he does. He's incredibly knowledgeable about all things finances, taxes, keeping your business legal, etc. But even more amazing is he responds to texts + answers phone calls faster than anyone I know lol. If you're his client, he's 100% in your corner and makes you feel so equipped and ready to run a successful business, all while maximizing profit

After having a bad experience last year, I was nervous about hiring a new CPA. Fortunately, Rocco was wonderful and put me at ease almost immediately- he was even willing to walk me through the issues from last year! He and his team were responsive, fast acting, and patient as I asked a million questions. It was so reassuring to know that Rocco had knowledge of military and small business (specifically photography) situations! I?m so grateful to have Marinucci & Associates in my corner.

Tax season was so easy with Rocco's help this year! As a new small business owner, I had a lot of questions and needed help filing taxes. Rocco has been extremely informative and quick to respond to all my questions. Bonus: the new client onboarding process with Marinucci & Associates is simple. Definitely recommend Rocco and the rest of the team!

Rocco has been incredibly helpful to me, a small business owner, during COVID-19 pandemic. He has provided countless resources, support, and help to myself and so many other creative-minded individuals who struggle to understand the verbiage and technical aspects of taxes, government programs, and finances. He is easily accessible and quick to reply. You can tell he truly loves what he does and cares for his clients and all small businesses. Highly Recommend!

I have worked with Rocco and the Marinucci team for a couple years now and I am thankful I made the switch. Rocco is knowledgeable and cares about his clients. He has helped guide me through my business and personal taxes and given me more financial confidence then any other CPA I have worked with. If you are questioning your financial processes with your business, side hustle, or personal accounting I highly suggest reaching out to Marinucci & Associates CPA.

I lost my full time job due to COVID and Rocco has helped my make the leap of starting my own business and surviving 2020! From my initial inquiry Rocco listened to my story, treated me like a friend and made me feel like I was in safe hands. Rocco clearly cares for his clients and their businesses and it's great to have a trusted person in my corner. I am SO glad I found Rocco and I couldn't ask for a more personal, professional and trustworthy CPA!

We usually file taxes for our small business. Simple LLC. However, as the business grew, our taxes got more complex; business car, daycare, rental property, etc. Rocco helped us get everything. Not only did he get us a huge refund, he helped us plan for future purchases and investments. If you are a small business owner, I highly recommend working Rocco and team.

Rocco is absolutely wonderful to work with. I went from having intense anxiety about my small business taxes to feeling really confident now that Rocco is handling that portion of my business for me! If you?re looking for a top-notch CPA, Rocco is my recommendation!

Taxes have always intimidated me and after trying to do them on my own for too long I finally decided it was time to hire an accountant. My business is on social media/blogging and I knew I needed someone who had experience working with creatives in this sort of field. Rocco is well-versed in this arena and I am SO thankful a friend told me about him. He was a lifesaver this tax season and it's the first time I've been at peace rather than incredibly anxious about doing it wrong. He is knowledgeable, hel

I was recommended Rocco from a fellow wedding photographer! He has been so extremely helpful to me! This was my first time going to an accountant so I really needed him to walk me through every step of the process and help me save as much as possible in write offs/expenses. It's so nice that I can confidently pay for my taxes and know it is all done correctly. He is also very easy to talk to and available to help with any questions! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We linked up with Marinucci & Associates because we were referred to someone on their team by a friend in the restaurant industry. That person was Rocco Tundo. Let me be clear: As long as Rocco is living, there's not another person I want to ever trust my books to again. Rocco has helped us get organized, gotten us in touch with industry professionals that helped us save money, and he's helped us tremendously with cash flow. We're already trying to get our other small businesses on board with Rocco and the

I have been a business owner for over 10 years and I have toggled through my fair share of CPA's and bookkeepers. I just wanted to say that our experience with Marinucci & Associates CPA was beyond top notch. We had the pleasure of working with Rocco who I am sure was juggling multiple clients, but with each interaction his knowledge and attention to detail made us feel as if we were his only priority. If you are looking for a CPA firm that will get the job down with the utmost speed and attention to det

I'm so grateful to have found Rocco! He has served my small business so well with tax preparation. He found several items our previous CPA had overlooked and saved us thousands of dollars. I really appreciate his communication, he's always responsive if I have a question or need information. I only wish I had found him sooner!

I've been working with Rocco at Marinucci & Associates for several months now and he (and the whole company) are fantastic! I needed help with accounting, quickbooks, taxes, and filing. They have been able to answer my questions in a timely manner and are always there to help. I'm a small business owner who is more creative than analytical, but Rocco has helped me learn how to take care of things on my end. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a CPA or accounting help!

My wife and I came to Marinucci & Associates for preparation of our 2018 taxes and questions regarding the new tax law. We worked with Rocco, who was simply fantastic. He was very thorough, helped us find a few areas we had botched on our 2017 taxes, maximized our deductions, and answered every question we had. I cannot recommend them enough; they've made long-term clients out of us.

Rocco has been so helpful! He?s helped us to better understand small business taxes in ways we didn?t before. This tax season has been a breeze and pain free! Would 100% recommend Rocco and the team at Marinucci & Associates over and over again!

After meeting and hearing Rocco Tundo speak on a panel at a Rising Tide Society networking event about finances for creative small business owners, I immediately followed him on social media. Rocco has proven to be so knowledgeable regarding the financial end of being a small business owner, especially in the creative and wedding industries. He would reach out to me ever so often with tidbits of financial advice to consider, which was so nice since I wasn't even his client yet! He became invested in my busi

Rocco is such a knowledgable and down to earth CPA. Being a CPA myself, I am happy to have him in my network for support. I run things by him when I've hit a wall and he always has an answer. He has a great (and very hard to find) mix of high-level tax experience and also day-to-day bookkeeping and accounting knowledge. He's not out of touch with how small business owners operate and would be a valuable advisor to literally anyone.

Rocco is amazing while working through my fianc??s and my personal taxes plus my small business taxes he and his team were so responsive and answering and explaining through all our questions and making sure we knew why and how things happened. This is a lifetime relationship! Glad for Roccos attention to small businesses also making sure even in a time of a pandemic making sure I knew I was able to apply for PPP. Thanks so much, see y?all next year!

Stop whatever you are doing and hire Rocco to do your taxes! He is seriously the BEST. He's incredibly knowledgable about all things taxes, always willing to help [going above and beyond in many cases], treats you with kindness and respect even when you don't understand what he's saying, and cares about your small business. I would HIGHLY recommending Rocco and his team!!

ROCCO IS THE BOMB DOT COM. Working with him has been so beneficial. I am one who hates to even look at finances and organize any of it so every one of my previous accountants never followed up or gave me any push to get things going. Rocco on the other hand is responsive, communicates with me consistently, is patient and is finally getting me to a point where everything will be automated. His diligence has been instrumental with my business needs and I am so grateful to have found him. He even is going to b

Rocco Tundo is excellent! I?m a small business and navigating all of the programs and assistance during COVID-19 has been difficult to say the least. His guidance and help has been seriously amazing. I would recommend him to anyone, but especially to small businesses looking for a CPA who is 100% on your team and working to actively find you solutions. He proactively seeks out new info on all things accounting and shares it. He routinely gives updates and guidance. Five stars :)

I am a photographer & small business owner, and Rocco gave me so much clarity about my industry specific sales/income tax questions during our consultation call! He's so kind, responsive, and really cares about his clients. I seriously was able to let go of a boatload of overwhelming anxieties due to the value he provided during our call. Thank you Rocco!

I can not say enough good things! Rocco reached out to me during the pandemic to check on my business, and I wasn't even a customer yet! He guided me through many overwhelming and complicated loans and then handle my taxes for the year. I am grateful for his knowledge and help in setting me and my business up for success for years to come!

Where does one begin. This is my first tax season with Rocco and the team at Marinucci and Associates and Im sad Im just now hopping on board with them because they have already paid for themselves tenfold. The photography world is already hard enough to keep track of in terms of taxes and new regulations/programs they are always rolling out especially with the pandemic, but they have been so insightful and helpful. I tell all of my fellow photographers about them. You're definitely in good hands with th

Rocco was very responsive and professional when I originally reached out to him. We set up an initial consultation pretty quickly and he walked me through the entire process, what to expect and their online forms and portal are pretty easy and efficient to use.

Such a great team to work with! Rocco has made me feel so secure and confident for taxes season and everything in that aspect within my business. Definitely recommend!

Not only was Rocco super knowledgeable, he also followed up after our conversation and sent me some follow up information that further validated the tips he was giving to me. The process to book him was super simple and he accommodates to people who are not able to travel into his office by using video conferencing. Would highly recommend!

I used to always file my own taxes, but due to a difficult situation, I needed the help of a professional. I'm so glad to have gotten the recommendation to use Tony!! Tony got me through the challenges and he and his staff have always gone over and above my expectations since then. They are an outstanding group and you won't be disappointed! I can't recommend them enough!!

Highly recommend Rocco!! He is super helpful and knowledgable. He was able to set up my quickbooks and walk me through everything I needed to know. He answered all my small business questions and if he didn't know the answer he was able to find it quickly. Would definitely recommend Rocco!!

Rocco is a lifesaver for my small business. I have no idea what I?m doing, ever. Rocco is my knowledgeable adult who helps me figure out how to look like I know what I?m doing and takes a tremendous burden of anxiety off my shoulders.

Great service. Dealing with Rocco has been great. He utilizes technology to make things easier on businesses/his clients and it's extremely helpful. Can't recommend enough.

Excellent accountants, very smart and professional! They go the extra mile to research & answer questions which in my case resulted in financial savings. They utilize advanced software which make tax prep easier for their clients and every staff member Ive spoken with has been friendly, professional and caring?even in the midst of tax deadlines! This firm is trustworthy, professionally excellent and treats customers very well!

I cannot tell you how great Rocco and his team at Marinucci & Associates have been. I highly recommend using them.

Excellent! They provide options, and discuss them with you. They are prompt, professional and timely in all their actions. Highly recommend!!

Best accountants in the DMV. Been using them for 40+ years.

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.
