Mr. Williams has been doing our taxes for 20 years. He always gets them done right and on time. I run a busy company and don't have the training or time to do my own bookkeeping or taxes. I turn it over to him and his knowledgeable staff. They are also very helpful during the year with great tax planning suggestions and tips on how to run my business more efficiently. I highly recommend him and his staff.

No one should be in tears for reaching out. Just asked if they advise on property sale structure prior to contract for seller finance. I didn't even get to find out what they charged. I'm shaking. They used profanity like I've never heard in my life. I'm in shock.

Tom has been my accountant for over 20 years! My name is Joel David and I own David and Associates Centre for Cosmetic Dentistry. Twenty years ago my practice was much smaller. Tom has been an integral part of helping me grow my practice to what it is today. Without Tom, I would not be able to manage over 50 employees, multiple dentists and also help me manage D&A Lab which also has multiple employees. He helps me in the tax planning, overhead control, and much more to move me forward; and he does it extr

We are a small incorporation established in 1972. Upon taking ownership, I sought out to support local businesses. We found Williams CPA through their glowing reviews online.

My husband and I have known Tom for over 25 years. He is a wonderful person and a great accountant/CPA. His entire staff are like family! He has gotten me out of many jams of my own making (as I keep the books and do payroll). I don't know what we would have done without his knowledgeable input on several major decisions regarding our business. His advice made a positive impact on our cash flow as it was the right choice. If you want a CPA that cares and won't be a "yes man", and will tell it to you s

Mr. Williams was so patient with me when I contacted him and asked him to do five years of tax returns. I am forever grateful to him and his staff for helping me resolve my tax situation. I recommend him to all my family and friends now.

I have not had my taxes done with them, however, Christine helped me out and corrected a bunch of errors when I had my taxes done locally. She saved me a bunch of money and helped me get my taxes back quickly. I have no affiliation with this company, even though my last name is the same of their company. I just am forever grateful that she was willing to help me out when the people I spent a ton of money with weren?t.

I've been using Tom Williams and Orange Park CPAs for years. As a small business owner, they have been an essential resource. Great people and Tom really knows his stuff. I have no hesitation in recommending Orange Park CPAs.

Tom and his staff were very courteous and knowledgeable. First experience with the firm, I went off google recommendations. Although I enjoyed the experience, not sure if the timing was off but messing up current and previous address on our taxes messed up our returns and stimulus checks. As all our tax information is now our old address. Causing us to have to file papers for a change of address ( we?ve been here a year) delaying everything, and with the pandemic, a call can?t fix this. The quoted price ran

I have worked with Tom for a few years now, personally and professionally, he is without a doubt the best CPA I have worked with. He does a lot for our company and we couldn't be happier with him. Thanks for everything Tom!

Tom Williams has served my business and personal needs for several years now with complete satifaction. I have referred Tom to many friends and family without hesitation and will continue to do so in the future.

Mr. Williams and his staff are a pleasure to work with. I have worked with them for many years now and would recommend them to anyone. Quality service and they treat you like family!

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.
