Customer Reviews

I?ve been working with Jerry Morey & his team on my personal income tax preparation for over 25 years. One of the best decisions I?ve made?.. they are very responsive and knowledgeable which has helped me make some important decisions over the years. Their secure portal simplifies the process and makes it easy to organize the documents you provide. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for help with their federal income tax preparation.

We founded our company in partnership with Morey Associates and worked with them throughout our time in California. Their team, especially our CPA, was always attentive and supportive, providing exceptional service year after year. We truly appreciated their expertise and dedication!

This is the second full year I?ve used Morey. I had placed a home in service as a rental and had done an extensive remodel so I wanted to ensure I set everything up correctly. He also amended my previous return which got me several thousands back. I appreciate their communication and answering all my questions in detail.

We are business owners and recently changed from a CPA we had used for years to Morey & Associates. It was a Great decision! Morey CPA & Associates is head and shoulders above any CPA firm we have used in more than 20 years. Everyone on their impressively large team is top notch. We could not recommend them more highly.

I was very satisfied with the prompt work Morey CPA & Associates did to complete my taxes. My previous accountant that I had for years was not familiar with new reporting that had to be done for my taxes and I am glad I chose Morey CPA & Associates to do my taxes. They provided prompt and friendly service.

10 years ago, I received a cold call from Morey & Assoc. Normally you just hang up, right? But the lady on the phone was very pleasant, so I listened. And I actually needed to get an accountant for my small business I recently just started, so her timing was spot on. For me they were local and that was very important. Fast forward 10 years later, I couldn't be more pleased. When I call, they answer! It really has been a blessing to me and my small business to have them a phone call away. Highly recommend th

I really appreciate the expertise I receive from Morey CPA and associates. Easy to work with, willing to run various scenarios when appropriate and reasonably priced.

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.
