I have been loyal to Mason as my CPA and for my taxes needs since 2020. However, after this year, I will be seeking out a new CPA mainly due to a surprise charge on my invoice for consultations. In 2022 I sought out an appointment to ask questions and help prepare the CPA team for filing for taxes in 2023 since I plan on continuing my services. When I first scheduled for a phone call the CPA team didn't disclose any rates or fees associated with scheduling for a consultation. So I went ahead and scheduled
I recently had an aggressive deadline to meet and was on a quick hunt for a good CPA. Not only did they meet with me right away but their team also worked hard to ensure that I met the deadline. I was so impressed with their quick responses, attention to detail, team effort and great attitudes of all staff. Their patience, understanding and willingness to help was the best experience I have ever had in getting my taxes done. I am confident in their overall ability to help assist businesses in the community
It took us several years to see and understand that we were nothing but a number; just another widget processed through them. Even when we asked for advice to improve our tax burden, we never received it. Expect the following: If you are a new customer, then you will meet with Mason and he will get you excited for your taxes with thoughtful conversations on tax burden. Then it heads over to another CPA to complete and you never get the same tax discussion like that when you first arrive. No strategy, no bus
I have used Martin Hunter CPA to process my taxes for several years, working especially with Mason Hunter, whose expertise and advice I trust completely. The firm has always answered my questions promptly, alerted me to smart tips which help me pay less in taxes, and kept track of my tax records so that I can build off of previous years? filings instead of reinventing the wheel each year. Not only is Mason familiar with my individual and business tax filings, but he has also shown a personal touch that de
We hired Martin D. Hunter, CPA PC to do our bookkeeping and taxes in the middle of 2018. We received a handful of emails asking for documents and information, but they were very poor in giving us updates or following up. After about a year with no progress we asked for an invoice (we had to file all of the taxes ourselves with no help from them). When I reviewed the invoice, it appeared that they charged me for work they did not do (our tax program showed that no changes where made for months). When I aske
Mason Hunter and his team have handled my tax preparation for years expertly, providing me with advice and guidance that has saved me time and money. I've always felt certain he approached my financial position with customized consulting, rather than the simplistic approach of some of the other big firms out there. I'm proud to support this longstanding family business and would gladly recommend them to other individuals and businesses.
The Hunters have done my taxes ever since they got too complex for me to do (ie. once the 1040EZ couldn't handle my needs). All of my interactions with this family business have been fantastic. They were excellent assistance when I bought my home 10 years ago, and they have been instrumental in me keeping it during a couple of very difficult years of unemployment. Whether I was dealing with the elder statesman of the family, Martin (who's name still adorns the business) or his wife Yvonne (who makes the cal
This past tax season my wife and I used Martin Hunter PCA to process our personal and for the first time business tax returns. We could not have been happier with their level of service, their ability to work around my schedule & their attention to detail. 2012 was our first year running our home business. You can imagine the endless questions and concerns we had. The CPA was GREAT! He really took the time to sit with us and go over everything in detail. He really put our stress and nervousness at eas
This place is where it's at! They helped me navigate a complex tax issue on my 2013 taxes and have worked my taxes for subsequent years. Mason Hunter has saved me tons of time and money! If you're looking for people who know what they are doing and offer great customer service, this is the place to go.
Used Martin D. Hunters office for taxes for the first time this year. Was throughly pleased. Came from H&R block for past few years. Cost was less to do my taxes, got more back and they found an error on past year taxes which returned me another few hundred dollars. I will be using them for all future CPA needs. Would highly recommend.
I worked with Jen, Alright, so I went here because I haven't done my taxes in forever. Want to make sure I had filed correctly due to being in the national guard. Well, i was charged 150 upfront. For just 10 min of an accounts time. Gave them 3 piece of papers that had all my information on it. 4 weeks later they are asking my for another 90 dollars to file. I Know if I had a complex return I understand it takes work. Sadly, It was a standard return I took me 20min to do on turbotax. The account called me b
I met with Mason Hunter because of the five star reviews on google. During our meeting, he did his best to answer my questions. However, when I sent him emails afterwards, his responses were SLOW - I mean weeks of no response then followed by requests for more info on multiple occasions. Finally, I told him I would work with another Cpa. He made it my fault and wrote ?good luck out there.?
This is an outstanding group of tax experts who have gone far above and beyond to provide myself as well as other family members with expert tax preparation and advice in regards to increasing refunds and avoiding high penalties. They are a very friendly team who will do everything they can for you. You will not find anything better for the very reasonable price. Highest recommendation!
I've used this tax office the last two years for my personal taxes. this office has people who are very professional and willing to help you. There always responsive and do a good job. I would recommend them to anybody, you get what you pay for.
Martin and his team were great at handling our taxes. We saved a couple thousand over what Turbo Tax calculated for us. We'll be using them from here on out.
You have to be a tax expert yourself to get anything done here, they expect you to do all the work for them. I called and asked what documents they needed from me and the office manager mark responded saying he's not a cpa and couldn't tell me what they needed. I looked up a cpa, I called a cpa, but they had mark call me back instead
I have been using MDHCPA for over 5 years. They are extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and punctual. Highly recommended
Friendly, professional, knowledgeable. I highly recommend Martin and the entire team. They have done a fantastic job on both our business and personal accounting. I highly recommend them.
Have gone here for years.The service and employees are great.They really know what they are doing.They get your taxes done in a fast time.Reccomend that you go there early as it gets busier the longer you wait.Will always recommend that you go here.
Personable, professional, fast, and organized! This is my second year working with Mason and the team, and once again, I'm incredibly satisfied.
Everyone here is incredibly thorough and friendly. They LISTEN, are easy to contact with questions, and respond quickly. Excellent service!
Liked him a lot. It's not as cheap as turbo tax but I think it's worth it
One of Best accounting firms out there. Can't say enough good things about them.
Thank you for the service for all these years.
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.
