Very professional! Angela and Lia have been so attentive with me. Angela explained so many things to me about my business taxes. She was very patient and explained things with attention to details. I definitely recommend this firm.
So glad to have them as my accountant, They have the best service in US, also the communication is very easy and they are always ready to help with any questions I have!! I highly recommend!!! Huge thanks for Odijas, Angela and Sinthia that take care of my account!
I have been a client for 12 yrs . Wonderful team. Knowledgeable , always giving great advise for our accounting business and also family.
The office itself is very inviting and the receptionist always welcomes me in with a smile. I have filed three years of tax returns with this company, and from past experiences I can say that OGC Associates is composed of well-efficient and professional employees whom demonstrate a trustworthy work ethic. I most definitely recommend them to everyone.
Some companies gives good service, but OGC has the power to enchant the client. I know Odijas for few month and since we first met He just hooked me up with his very sincere way doing business. He is also an excellent professional and has a great team at OGC.
The customer service is excellent to say the least. I have used other businesses for tax and accounting purposes, but this one goes above and beyond. They are well-informed and eager to help. They also provide many different services, which allows me to be able to use them for everything I need, instead of having to find different places to do different things. This company is extremely professional and competent, I have nothing but the best to say in its regard.
OGC Associates is a great accounting company. Odijas is an outstanding financial advisor and excellent tax planner. His team is also professional and very helpful. Highly recommended.
Great people to work with. If you need quality and trust, you should look for them. Good locations and accessibilities. Super nice and friendly. They always recommend us to another people and we also do the same. Great business! We definitely recommend them.
Odijas is an amazing accountant and professional. He always takes care of my needs in a timely fashion and have helped me to save a great amount of money where other accountants missed. I strongly recommend him as an Accountant.
For couple years we had our trust on Mr. Odijas Caminha of OGC ASSOCIATES P.A. to take care of our accounting. After some mistakes involving general reports and taxes's payment delayed or "made at the last minute", as well a poor service, we decided to stop our commercial agreement with them on December, 2014. We believe that we have been received an extremely poor service from OGC ASSOCIATES P.A., as we are having couple issues with the IRS since May/2015 regarding our accounting for the years 2012 and 20
Worst experience ever! It took them 2 months to file a simple tax return and at the end they got my name wrong and were unable to guide me clearly throughout the process. When I pointed out that the tax return was filed with the wrong name they amended the tax return and charged me extra for that. The worst problem was not even the amounts charged but all the confusion with horrible communication and complete lack of organization and disregard to customer satisfaction. Will certainly NEVER work with them or
Really professional, friendly and helpful staff. I had all my questions answered and tax done on time. For sure I would recommend OGC Associates. You won't regret!

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.
