I have enjoyed a long relationship with Newburg CPA firm, beginning with my role as Controller of a technology research consulting company, where they compiled our results and produced our many tax returns. I was so pleased with their corporate service, that I engaged with them on a personal level, where they prepared tax filings for my wife's optometry practice. In both situations I was impressed with the timely and thorough preparation of financial statements and tax returns. Their communication is excell

My company started using Mr. Newburg for our corporate taxes and overall business needs this past year. The Newburg staff has been incredibly helpful in our growth and long term goals. Highly recommend.
I have been with Newburg & Company for over 30 years. They have always made my tax experience effortless. They are honorable and trustworthy. I would not have any qualms in recommending them to anyone. Newburg & Company are truly trusted financial advisors.
November 2021 update. I thought I might be paying too much (though as noted below the service is great) so I went "out to bid" to a mom-and-pop shop. They would have charged almost the same. But without the depth that is sometimes needed. Plus Newburg takes credit cards so I can collect AAdvantage miles. :) They have been doing my taxes and accounting since 1996. They make everything -- even an audit -- pretty effortless. There is a lot of complexity in my taxes but they handle it very well.
Dave Natan of Newburg/CPA is the consummate professional and continues to go above and beyond in a very impressive manner.
We have trusted Dave and the Newburg team with our business for over 5 years. Go visit them and get things done right from the start.
Definitely one of the best CPA firms in the Boston area.
Extremely professional, practical and responsive. Highly recommend!
Professional, Punctual, Knowledgeable and Affordable!
Newburg CPA is 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.
