As a first-time customer, I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Ion and Ntelly. He is an absolutely wonderful tax professional. Ion assisted me with the complexities of having sold a home out of state. He was not only knowledgeable but a true pleasure to work with. Quick to respond with the highest level of expertise. A+ positive experience and highly recommended.
Being relatively new to the area this year was my first time in more than 20 years being in the market for a (new to me) tax professional.

We just finished our 2024 return working with Ion and the entire experience from initial consultation all the way through to payment for services rendered was wonderful. I can't say enough good things in a review, so I'll just get right to the bottom line. I highl

Was recommended to Ion(NTelly) by my Father who works in the Same 1099 Industry as myself. I have never been able to find a Tax Professional in the past 8 Years that could handle my Taxes properly. I walked into Ion?s office with only what I can describe as a ?Dumpster Fire? for my Taxes. Multiple years needing filed/corrected. Not only did he get me on the right path with my Taxes - He was very informative every step of the way - made sure I understood what was happening & Why. This was the easiest Tax

Our family and business had made the move from Michigan to Florida, CPA in Michigan no longer wanted to provide services. We looked online and searched, saw Ntelly was one of the few in the area. Due to location and past reviews we went on a limb and wanted to give Ntelly a try. We called and got in contact with Ion instantly. we talked with him, told him our dilemma and went over the basics of what we were looking for. We went ahead and scheduled and in person appointment. we are so glad that we did. He co
we found Ion Tiu at Ntelly Co. to be very warm & welcoming. He was thorough in explaining our tax report. Very glad to do business with him & will recommend to others.
I highly recommend Ion Tiu. He is very knowledgeable, conscientious, and caring. I am extremely satisfied with his work.
A Google search brought me to Ntelly. I was not disappointed! Their new location on US19 at W.Cyprus is really newly renovated. Ion, an owner, worked with me twice over the last 6-8 months. My situation is simple, yet contained some situations requiring a CPA and tax expert. I was given 'priority' treatment and I am not a large client! Ntelly assured me they considered my circumstances to be important! I will be relocating soon away from the area but I will keep my tax business with Ntelly regardless
I was impressed by Ion after my first phone conversation with him. I never used a tax service before but I told him it was getting too complicated to do your own. He said it is complicated and that is why he takes classes to keep up with it. At his modern office, he was so organized and smart. He explained things with ease and an obvious thourough understanding of the whole business. He is a super guy who has great taste in music and furniture. The giant slab maple table is most impressive. He is easy to ta
This was our first time with Ntelly. Although we have not processed the filing yet, our consultation with Ion was a great experience. He thoroughly explained everything and what to expect over the next couple of weeks!

This is the 2nd year Ion Tiu with Ntelly has prepared our taxes. We were welcomed into a very professional but comforting setting.

We had very confusing taxes this year with Oregon, Virginia, and Federal taxes to file. We also had investments that needed to be accounted for as well. Everything was handled quickly and efficiently. We even got a discount for being first responders. Great service and friendly! Would recommend! 5 stars

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.
