Customer Reviews

Horrible experience at this place! I went in about over a month ago to file my taxes, and the lady who helped me, Sandra, was very unprofessional. Twice, she told me she'd call me back to go in and finish the paperwork, and she never did. Finally I went in to retrieve both my W2 and she was trying to get me to finish filing them and when I told her I was just gonna get my papers and leave she was very rude and she was only giving me one of my papers. When I told her I had given her two, she said I didn't, b

Wonderful experience very helpful and friendly def recommend I will be retuning next year. Sandra filed my taxes she explained everything and broke everything down for me.

I had visited before, and overall, it was a nice experience. However, during a phone call, I was told the cost would be around $90-100. When I arrived, I was charged $150. I didn't want to make a scene, so I decided to let it go, though I'm not sure if the higher price was due to receiving a significant amount of money back. It left me feeling a bit uncertain about the pricing.

Horrible. Tax guy messed up on my return waited a whole week to get back to me and at this moment it's already been two to three weeks of me waiting for my goddamn tax return because of his mess up. My brother went to him and got all his taxes back in a week and a half I'm over here still waiting 3 weeks later.

The gentleman did my taxes and he was just the sweetest ! Very professional! See you next year!

New in town made an appointment for my taxes and I am very pleased with the service I received. The service was excellent with the tax preparer being very personable and also explaining the details of my tax preparation. I would highly recommend them for your tax services.

They really go beyond to help you! I highly appreciate all of there hard work and patience! If you are self employed and need your taxes done they will get it done for you. You will not regret it thanks Sandra and Benito for your hard work

I would definitely recommend choosing them! Very professional, efficient and answer all of the questions you may have. As this was my first time filing taxes as an independent, I had a lot of questions, but they were able to answer all of them and explain each and every point in my tax statement. Amazing and I would definitely be back! Thank you!

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.
