His staff is also professional and friendly. Whether you're new to Vegas or you've been here for a while,
My husband and I couldn't be happier working with Michael. Very professional, responds quickly and turns out quality work. Quickest turn-around for tax returns we have ever received. He came highly recommended by our Financial Planner. This tax season will be our 4th year with Michael's office and we look forward to many more.
I typically have prepared my own taxes, but this year I sold my house and started my own business (LLC) and decided I needed some help. I am so glad I reached out to Michael Johnson, CPA & Associates. Michael & his team talked me through the whole process, prepared and submitted my return. The process was quick, straight-forward and they were able to get a much better return than I would have gotten on my own, with the added confidence that it was prepared by a professional team. My sincere gratitude t

We highly recommend him for any startups or small businesses who need someone to help with all of the many details involved with the finances of starting your own business.
I started using the services of Michael in 2013 off the recommendation of a friend. Michael asked to see my taxes for the year before and actually was able to get me additional money back that my previous tax firm had failed to do. Using another CPA has never even crossed my mind since that day and I have lived in 4 different states since leaving Las Vegas due to being transferred for work. It may sound clich? but Michael and his team make you feel like you are more than a client. My phone calls are usually

Michael is informative, responds right away, and professional. We called quite a few CPA companies in Las Vegas, which most of them have a team that works on your account and very expensive. Michael is the one we work with not a whole team. We would recommend Michael Johnson to our fellow small business companies.
This is our second year using Michael for our personal and business returns. He's the 4th accountant that we've used and have decided to stick with him. He's very good at setting expectations and doing his best to meet them. Any time I have off the wall questions he's always quick to answer. I remember last year, when I found him, I had interviewed probably 6-7 other candidates and he was a clear winner. Thanks Michael for all of your help.

Michael Johnson has been my the man on my taxes for four years now. It started when he was at his previous firm and I was always more than happy with the service. When he decided to branch out on his own though I could not have been happier to give him my business directly and it's a decision I haven't once regretted.

First time using Michael Johnson. I was referred to him by a friend, and he and his staff were very professional, and always quick to respond to any questions I had. I am very happy I changed CPA firms!
Very positive interaction with this practice! They got back to us almost immediately after our online inquiry. We were directed to upload our docs to their website for the review. Within a day, we had a quote (very reasonable) and an invitation to connect our QB accounts for further (free) review. We ended up not hiring them for this year as our previous accountant gave us a better quote (hard to refuse) ... but we will definitely be back! One thing that we ask for in an accountant is responsiveness. Michae

The worst experience ever! Just moved to Las Vegas from NYC and l was looking for an accountant to do my taxes. After reviewing all the firms around the area that i live I finally decided to come here. I walked in and set up an appointment for the next week but they asked me to leave all my papers and pay half of the fee ($300 for me and my husband )just to tell us an estimate and have the accountant meet with us on the following week on the day of the appointment. On the day of the appointment we explained

Top notch! Michael has taken care of our business taxes and books for years. He's a life saver. 5 stars every year.
Small enough to provide personalized service, but large enough to have someone readily available to appropriately respond to clients. Mr. Johnson is attentive and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this firm.
Michael Johnson will hang up on you and cause an IRS audit. Strongly recommend someone who can actually do the work of a CPA and not just have the letters.

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.
