Truly professional, helpful, and ethical. This is the best group that I?ve ever had do my taxes and help me with financial issues. They are truly a class act. I am 70 years old and had my taxes done in a lot of different places. I?ve done it myself, but it?s worth every single penny to have these guys do your Taxes for you or Any financial bookkeeping or whatever.I would highly recommend them.
My first time there after receiving a recommendation from my niece! I was over the top impressed with their kindness and professionalism! Gabriel was very patient with me and explained everything! This is absolutely where I will continue to go and I highly recommend him!
We've been going to Nathan for our tax needs for approximately three years. The staff is always professional and he offers great suggestions for saving and long-term planning. I highly recommend My CPA Guy.
TANYA was friendly, quick, and efficient! The handy checklist and portal system made it so easy to securely upload my documents so that our appointment went smoothly and drama-free. A small town group with big town capabilites = best of all possible worlds during the stressful tax season!
We are very pleased with My CPA GUY! He was honest, personable, kind, and very orderly doing our taxes! Our relatives referred us to him, and it has been worth driving an hour to get someone we can fully trust. Thankyou My CPA Guy!
Nathan, the president of My CPA Guy is an amazing business owner. I was with the previous owner of the office for 20+ years and the transition of the buyout couldn?t have been as simple as it was without a great tax accountant team of both seller and buyer. I honestly didn?t see any reason to take my tax preparation elsewhere. Gabriel has taken me on as a client and I am very satisfied with his professionalism, knowledge, courtesy and genuine kindness. Thank you everyone!!
Tonya was amazing. She helped me out with a letter I had received for the state. She knew exactly what needed to be done. Extremely thankful for her help.
Tonya was awesome! She was kind, knowledgeable and very helpful. I appreciate the time she took with me and I look forward to having her prepare my taxes in the future.
Vicki did tax prep several of my LLC?s. Did a great job in a timely manner. Took the time to sit down and go over them. I?ll be going back next years tax season.
If you?ve ever experienced the nightmare of dropping off your tax documents to your tax preparer, receiving multiple phone calls the following days/weeks clarifying information about your documentation, then you need to switch to My CPA Guy! It?s a different experience. You?ll meet with your tax preparer, as your return is being prepared you will observe your return being completed on the big screen tv in their private office. Any questions regarding your return are discussed as your return is being prepare
Vicki was fantastic! She was so quick and was able to save me money. I will definitely continue to work with her in the future!
We always enjoy visiting with Kelly as he does our taxes. Even if we missed a document, Kelly compares with last year's tax returns to catch the omission, then helps us find it online and file our federal and state taxes with no worries.
So happy with my tax guy, Gabriel !!! He is so helpful and informative and he really knows his stuff!! So happy to have found a tax preparer that knows the ins and outs of quick books bc you would be surprised, many do not. I feel so good trusting him to handle my businesses taxes. Thanks Gabriel & My CPA Guy!
Kelly has always been so helpful. Thank you for your help in deciding which is the best way to do things. I was away for 2 years but I?m back!

Cannot say enough good things about this place. Extremely detailed and willing to help explain any questions I had as a first time business owner. Highly recommend.
Had our taxes done today at My CPA Guy. Met with Tanya, she was very friendly and professional. Would highly recommend My CPA Guy.
It is always a great experience when dealing with Nathan and his team! They are all very knowledgeable and helpful. We trust them completely with our business and personal taxes!!
Nathan was so thorough and knowledgeable and helped us save more money on our taxes than we originally thought. He spent his time with us and answered all of our questions. We feel well taken care of and are looking forward to more tax planning with him for years to come.
Tax prep and filing done! Appreciate Kelly?s help and advice. Thank you. See you next year! Tom Byers
Vicki is efficient and fun. I am so glad we found her.
Nathan at My CPA Guy was highly recommended by one of his clients that is in the same field of work as I am. When I was searching for a CPA, I requested someone forward-thinking, knowledgeable about starting a business, and traveling businesses. He ended up being exactly what I was looking for, also far exceeding my expectations. His prices are reasonable for the quality of service he provides. I now highly recommend him too!
Alice Seaton has prepared our taxes for many years. We can't imagine going any place else. Alice is the best! Thank you Updated 2025: Alice retired so we saw Nathan this year. He was very pleasant and did a great job for us. We look forward to working with him again.
Gabriel was very friendly, very professional, and very knowledgeable. It was a real pleasure to work with him!
Kelly has been doing our taxes for years. Great service, professional, and consistent.
Vicki did our taxes and she is very friendly and knowledgeable. This is our fourth year and worth the drive for us. Best part, didn't have to take a long time.
I've been working with Eric on some inherited IRA'S and stocks stuff. (Taxes) I don't understand it but Eric does a great job dumbing it down for me. Feel a lot more comfortable, when he explains it. Good people to work with.
Enjoyed working with Tanya, she did an excellent job and was very thorough! ??
Working with Nathan at My CPA Guy has been a wonderful experience! His knowledge, care, attention to detail, and insight is outstanding! His passion for small businesses shines through in his communication and care, and we are so thankful for his help and guidance!! He is wonderful, so easy to work with, makes taxes easy, communicates clearly and in a very down-to-earth manner (because you know tax stuff can be so overwhelming!). Do yourself a huge favor and book your appointment. Hands down, cannot recomme
Our taxes were prepared by Nathan Ziegler. He is without a doubt the best accountant, professional individual and wonderful person you could ever have the pleasure of meeting. His preparation of our taxes was thorough and comprehensive. He is not only extremely personable but has a genuine caring attitude. It is extremely unusual in the 21st century to find service like we received. Nathan Ziegler has been richly blessed with the desire to care for others. I recommend him without hesitation.
Very friendly and helpful. Answered and helped with any questions about my retirement questions. It was a awesome experience. Thank you ??
My CPA guy is a great place!! They have been so helpful the past couple of years with my taxes. Nathan is very personable and trustworthy. He has made tax season stress free! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
This place makes the paper work easy!! Vicky is wonderful to work with. I have been a customer of theirs for 20 years. And will continue to allow them to serve my tax needs !!
Love these people. They quickly deliver a high quality service, and at a reasonable price.
Today I had the pleasure of meeting Eric and having him do my tax returns for me. The professionalism and making something like getting your taxes done a great experience, quickly and at a great price simply can't be beat! I'd highly recommend my cpa guy and look forward to using them in the future for all my needs including when I start my own business. Thank you to the whole team!
This was our first year filing taxes since my husband started his small business. My CPA Guy was recommend d to us from a church member and I?m very pleased! Eric was very friendly and answered all of our questions! I was worried with it being tax season that it would be hard to get an appointment but I was able to get an appointment the next week. Very happy and will be back for other services!
Vicki was great! Helped us, explained well and answered all our questions where we understood! She was also quick and affordable! Highly recommend them!!
Vicki is a lifesaver and super proficient with everything she does. She makes accounting and taxes feel fun and easy! Stop trying to diy something so important. Go see her!!!
Wow I was stressed before I went in as I have never really done taxes or prepared what was needed for taxes but once I got there it was so nice and relaxing Kelly knew exactly what he needed from me and I was only short a couple things that I forgot. It was great working with him and my mind is now more at ease
Best tax guy I've had in a long time.
Vicki is amazing. She is very polite, down to earth, professional and quick! She knows her stuff. CPA Guy is my home for taxes!
They will be my accountants for many years to come. This is my second year with them as self employed and they made my wife and I feel comfortable and did not make us feel dumb about my tax questions. Nathan was excellent and I truly recommend him and his crew. Thank you.
Nathan and crew are consummate professionals. From the moment Kelsey answered the phone, to our actual appointment we were greeted with compassion, joy and detailed care. We could not have asked for a better experience with MyCPA guy, it is without hesitation we would recommend them for your tax and payroll services!
My CPA Guy met more than my expectations. When I walked in I was immediately greeted my a super friendly receptionist. I was then escorted by my cpa, Eric, to his office. It was my first time there and I immediately felt very comfortable. I have used other accountants and it always seems like an impersonal and cold experience, not so here at all. Not only did Eric do my taxes but took the time to help me understand how it all works so for next year it should be a better outcome for me. He never once made
Vicki has been doing our taxes for years and does a wonderful job. She's very knowledgeable and is responsive, ethical, and a great communicator.

Nathan has been extremely helpful in assisting with our taxes, providing insight, and making sure that we get the maximum refund possible. I highly recommend for anyone looking for assistance with their taxes.

He made sure we didn?t miss anything and got me the most I could get! Thanks Eric for your time and effort I greatly appreciate you!
This is my second year going to MyCPAGuy, and my first time with Nathan. He was extremely friendly, courteous, and still quite professional! He took time to make sure everything was done correctly and accurately. Will definitely see him next year!
Great service, reasonable and friendly. I have been seeing Vicki for my taxes for about 10 years. She does an excellent job, very knowledgeable and always answers any questions I may have. If you are looking for a great CPA company, this is it.

We have had our taxes done by vicki for years. She is very polite and professional. We always feel she has our best interests in mind.
I recently had a visit at My CPA Guy with Kelly Ball about a recent 1031 exchange I had done on an investment property. I have never done one of these before. My 1031 exchange specialist suggested I talk to my CPA. I am so glad I did! I had no idea how complicated these could be. It was amazing I had Kelly, Alice and Nathan all in the room working on it together with me. We worked out all the scenarios possible. I needed to decide if it was most beneficial to buy another property or not beyond what I had a
Very good very professional. Always helpful and answers my questions fast
I have been a client multiple times over the past 10 years (back when they were Nicholas, Phanco, Ball). Kelly Ball has done my personal taxes for each of these times and he is amazing. He is friendly, caring, and works hard to make sure he can use any deduction you qualify for. I use to lead a team of VITA tax preparation students and I know how much knowledge is needed to remain an expert. Kelly Ball is an expert and even though I now live in Forsyth, I drive to Highlandville because I trust him to do my
Kelly Ball was efficient, compassionate, and thorough in all aspects of my crisis mistakes with 2019 tax return. He was the second person I took my materials to?and I am so grateful to have received him as a recommended expert. He found 4 mistakes made by the prior CPA I had selected for help. Kelly helped me fax, print copies to mail and even addressed the envelopes with the correct addresses for state amended returns. All this in a 2hour timeframe! Thank you Kelly! You are My CPA GUY!
Vicky did our taxes for us and she was very thorough and so friendly and welcoming. We are very satisfied with our experience. Even the lady at reception was so nice and helpful. Totally recommend them and their services.
A great team to work with. Nathan has been amazing throughout the years, and has always answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. I highly recommend him and his team at MyCPA for your personal and business tax needs.
This was our first time to work with Nathan and we were very pleased. He was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We felt total confidence in him doing our taxes and will definitely return.
Excellent service! Kelly Ball was amazing. I didn?t have an appointment, but he was still willing to get me right in. He took the time to explain all my options and was able to find the best option for my current situation. He worked to save me money and didn?t charge me an arm and a leg for his services either! Thank you Kelly!
Since Nathan has taken over, this has been a pleasant experience. He is patient and knowledgeable, Nathan comes across as genuinely wanting to help his clients. By answering all our questions, and empowering us to grow as a business we look forward to the years ahead. Thank you, Pomeroy Construction
Nathan was very informative. He took a look of what I had and showed me ways on how I could save money. He is very helpful and easy to talk to.
Nathan was great to work with! Quick to respond, kind, informative, processed everything in a timely manner and offered helpful nuggets of information to set us up for success on next years taxes and the benefits of a 529. Everything was done over the phone, which as the mom of 2 young girls was greatly appreciated! Highly recommend!
Nathan was very friendly and professional, as well as his staff. We enjoyed our time with him as he processed our taxes. He was interested in us personally. We would recommend him and his business to anyone.
Doing our taxes was pleasant with My CPA guy. He is pleasant, skillful, knowledgeable, punctual, and gives you undivided attention. I highly recommend Nathan.
Eric was wonderful to work with and is great at what he does. They also got us in for an appointment quickly. We hope to see Eric next year!
We highly recommend Nathan! He has been so helpful throughout our tax journey running two businesses. Extremely friendly and goes through so much effort to help us understand things that feel so overwhelming. We tell all of our friends in search of a CPA to go see Nathan!
We have used this tax accounting office for many years. We had Gay Nichols as our accountant and absolutely loved her. When she retired we were a little concerned, however, Nathan Ziegler exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend my CPA guy to anyone looking for outstanding tax preparation.
So glad my friend introduced us to Nathan! Nathan exceeded my expectations. I was skeptical of having to pay for an intro meeting, but it was 100% worth it. We learned much valuable knowledge from Nathan and are looking forward to continue working with him for personal taxes and for our LLC.
Thanks to Eric and Alice and the friendly staff we have always been taken good care of throughout the years. All of our tax questions have always been answered promptly.
We were very impressed with our Vist to MYCPAGUY. Very friendly and professional staff. We really look forward to working with Alice Seaton. She was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Looking forward to working with her. Thanks MYCPAGUY!
My tax preparer is Tanya Neustel. She is very knowledgeable and provides excellent service.
Very nice, professional and smart. Eric will be highly recommended. A year later and he's still the Best. Even if I move, he will still do my taxes.
Alice has been doing my taxes for about 10 years now. She is always very thorough and very easy to work with. And very friendly while we are working, it?s always a pleasure to catch up on family and friends.
Nathan was so helpful and fast!! I appreciated his knowledge and pleasant personality. He?s got a super cute kiddo and as a homeschool mom I thought it was sweet that they have a family friendly environment where kids are welcome for customers and employees. The workplace needs more places like this ??
Great place, we really like Vicky.
I see Alice for all of my business paperwork questions. I was referred to her by a friend and I?m so happy I found her. Everyone here is kind and helpful. Alice is sweet, fast and knowledgeable. I don?t go anywhere else!
We appreciate Kelly's expertise and personable nature. So nice to have our taxes completed before leaving the office.
We appreciate Alice so much! We turn over our tax preparation to her and have no worries that our filing is perfect. She also gives us great advice on our withholdings.
Alice Seaten has been my CPA for several years. She is friendly and very well versed in tax laws. I Can't imagine getting through tax season without her. Excellent company, All staff is friendly and they are always right on time. If you are searching for a knowledgeable CPA that is quick and affordable I highly recommend this company.
I canceled my appointment. I consulted over the phone prior to my appointment and the guy that was to help us do our taxes was not at all helpful and was weather rude toned when we answered certain questions on reciepts and documents. We are new to self Employment and was looking for information and help not criticism. I do not recommend for self employment taxes.
Thrilled to have this great cpa/tax service so close to me! Thank you Kelly and team for your expertise, kindness and mission! I will share my great experience with friends and family. *Highly recommend
This is my 3rd year using Nathan for my taxes. Every year he works to try to get me the best refund possible. He also helps me prepare for the following year. Really appreciate his hard work and dedication
The last 2 years Alice has done my taxes, I am very happy with her. She very friendly and helpful. I works to get to get the most back for you.
I have used you for 4 years and Mr Ball is the best! I have recommended people to you because of the knowledge and caring that they show. They are the best.
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.
