Customer Reviews

Very helpful. She went above and beyond to help me get as much money as possible back. I Highly recommend everyone to use Charlotte nikolaidis as their tax representative.

First time with Charlotte doing my taxes very professional worked to make sure my taxes were done properly and helped me in every way possible. I highly recommend her.

I am grateful to have found Charlotte. I have been self employed for 56 years. Congruently I have had several employers. To say the least my income is a fruit cocktail! Charlotte rapped her head around my issues and the anxiety is gone! I don?t think I will ever have to file extensions again Made a good impression on me and my wife. Most of my previous accounting engagements have either retired or passed away. I have a lifer now.

I had a mixed experience with Charlotte Nikolaidis at Paramount Tax & Accounting. While she?s never rude, her level of professionalism is lacking. I've encountered issues that have gone unaddressed for months, including a complete lack of response to my texts since April. It's frustrating to have to repeatedly provide information that was already shared. Although she initially offered helpful guidance, the lack of communication has left me disappointed. I hope for better engagement in the future.

Charlotte is a great tax advisor with tons of knowledage and experience. I have enjoyed working with her! Highly recommending her to anyone who might need tax and accounting services!

My CPA tax preparer of many years has gotten so big they missed details and it cost me a $133.05 penalty, they did not provide a simple paperwork fix the IRS offered as an option , they just said we are on vacation and by the time we did communicate they said pay the fine. Charlotte took the time to go over the IRS rules my old tax person did not do, I am so glad to have consulted with a pro and looking forward to working with her this year going forward.

I have to say hands down best choice I made having Charlotte do my taxes. It was such an easy process from start to finish, she takes the time to answer all your questions and she very knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely be going back to her next year for taxes.

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.
