First of all, I want to say I love Mrs. Mitchell she has such a beautiful, warm soul and a loving personality. I've been going to Mitchell tax professionals for about 10 years she has helped me out tremendously. I appreciate her professionalism and her hard work and I will continue to go to Mitchell's tax professionals. Not to mention I have referred several family and friends, just got married and now my husbands on board and we're filing jointly I appreciate everything that she does for me and my family a
My experience with Mitchell Tax Professionals has been nothing short of fantastic! Specifically Alvina Horton! She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful with any questions or concerns I had. Alvina has always been very quick to respond and makes sure everything is perfectly in order before submitting return to ensure no delays. I highly recommend and will most definitely be going back for her services every year! Thank you so much!
We are so blessed finding Mitchell Tax Professional and it was so worth it allowing her to do our taxes because it was such a night mire trusting someone else. We love her services and has made us feel so confident with her services. We are very happy with our refund. We highly recommend her service. Thank you so much again : )
She is so awesome. Our documents were not organized and she helped us through. It was really complicated because of business income, but she found a way. I gave her all of the information and documents I had and she was able to organize it and prepare our returns. She helped us so much, when other people didn't.
Totally out of touch with preparation, doesn't look into creative deductions, didn't offer creative options ??
Mitchell Tax Professionals I am writing this review because I want to let you guys know over at Mitchell tax Professionals how satisfied I am with your customer service. When I first walked in I felt right at home. Alvina the Tax Practitioner, greeted me with a great big smile that made me feel right at home. She was very professional. Alvina worked very hard on my tax issues. When I was facing a tax debt, after going to Mitchell's, I wind up not end owing the IRS. I actually received a nice refund back. I
Came here as a new client and I believe I found the only place I will be getting my taxes done at The staff was extremely professional and made sure I understood EVERYTHING I will be referring as many people as possible to come support Mitchell tax professionals. I would HIGHLY recommend their services to friends as well as family and my own clients. They were accurate with great service and extremely knowledgeable of their field. I will be receiving a exceptional return all thanks to Mitchell Tax Prep

Ms.Alvina has been doing my taxes since I was 18 years old, I am now 25 years old. I trust her with my life she is an amazing woman ! And she is so loyal and trustworthy!! Dealing with real tax professionals is always a must !
Not only does she provide such great service and professionalism, she have beautiful soul. If I could give her 10 stars I would!!! Mitchell Tax Professionals is my go to! I'm forever grateful for the services!
I was referred to Mitchell Tax Professionals by a good friend of mine and I truly can say that the Practitioner and her preparer are the best. Customer service was in my eyes a 10 and the return of my return was so quick. I recommend Mitchell Tax, as the best appropriate place to go for tax help of all matters.
Mitchell Tax Professionals exceeded every expectation. The friendly and helpful Staff were amazing. It's comforting knowing my Tax needs are in good hands. I've already pass on this business with family and friends with exceptional feedback...
Alvina Horton is easily the most rude individual I have ever done business with. She has a "I'm better than you attitude". She will have you wait in her "lobby" while she does absolutely nothing in the back chit-chatting it up. She has unknown individuals that do not work there go into her "office". She is easily the most unprofessional person I've ever worked with. I will never be coming back here again and I will tell all of my friends and family about her "business".
I have been going to Mitchell's tax professionals for quite sometime. She makes me feel welcomed. She gets the most back that she can for u. I love it here i wont go no where else to file my taxes.
quick tax refund return time I've ever experienced and professional environment. No hidden fees and I received the most money on my tax return I've received before when i was filling my taxes at other companies. If you want top dollar go to Mitchell Tax Professionals!
Odd that there is no email address to contact anyone? I even have a card and the person has no email address, and I've tried the phone and left messages, none were returned. I've left several messages for Alvina Horton since last week and have ZERO return calls. I'm not unreasonable to expect a return call by the end of the day, and at the very least if that's not possible, then first thing next day. When I call there's always a "very very important meeting" and there's a lot of those. Lots of "very ve
I found this tax business by chance on my way to the grocery store, and now I know it was meant to be. Mitchell Tax Professionals have been God sent for my family me. In addition to being more than happy with my return, my financial situation has finally started moving toward the direction of financial freedom. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. The representatives at Mitchell Tax Professionals' not only process taxes, they're also financial consultants, life coaches, & tu familia... :)

I have been with Mitchell Tax since 2014! I find Mitchell Tax to be the place where you can get your taxes done share what you have experienced since the last time you filed your taxes! I like that they interview you and will go beyond measures to get you back a credit for your hardships if you have been through a disaster! I have never been to a Tax preparation place that actually cares about the lives of there Tax Payers!

I will never return here ever. The staff was half rude they basically don't listen or inquire your needs. Never received referral fee. Lied and didn't follow through on promises. They are not to be trusted.
I have been a tax customer for the last past 3 years and I am very happy with the service.I have referred all of my family and friends.
The owner works hard for her clients and makes sure she gets you the biggest return. Her staff is on point. When she not there, then know what she knows.
They are the best. My second year dealing with them. Always on time, professional and they really know their stuff. I RECOMMEND THEM TO EVERYONE. ????

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.
