Customer Reviews

I?m sure the tax agents are great but the person in charge of scheduling needs better training. I originally filed an extension and had an appointment set two months in advance. I missed it (my fault) but i never got any confirmation calls or emails days before, so we rescheduled. I never got a confirmation for my second appointment. I called to confirm my appointment the day of and she tells me that she was meaning to call us to reschedule due to agents going on vacation.

I highly recommend Patriots Tax & Accounting Service! My experience with Sarah was outstanding?she is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. This year, we faced several new challenges with multiple states involved, but she navigated everything with ease, ensuring we had the most up-to-date information to file accurately and efficiently. Her attention to detail and dedication made the entire process seamless. I will definitely be returning next year!

We have been working with Patriots Tax & Accounting for almost a year now and wish we had met them a long time ago! They have made life so much easier for our business in doing our taxes and accounting. Their advice, counsel and professionalism has already saved us money! Joemari is absolutely the best! He has trained our staff in Quickbooks Online and helped us navigate all challenges that arise.

Adulting?especially when it comes to taxes?is still pretty new to me, but Patriots Tax & Accounting made it so easy. They were quick, accurate, and super helpful. They shared tips I definitely wouldn?t have known otherwise, and I ended up saving hundreds! Highly recommend! Shoutout to Sarah, she's the best :')

I?m a new small business owner who has been a client of Patriot Tax & Accounting for about 6 months. Honestly, I don?t know how I would manage without Joemarie and Anna on the accounting team. Every time I make a bookkeeping error they are always available to answer my questions and/or fix the problem. Honest, responsive, and always willing to pitch in with some advice when I need it. If you are looking for a tax & accounting service that you can trust with your business look no further.

Did ok I guess. Wasn?t until after services rendered I found other places to do what I needed much cheaper. Was charged 750$ for services where as other places charged from 100-200$ for the same thing. When initially contacting about prices of services was told it was a case by case bases. But had someone else call and ask about services and they told the other person right away versus having to have a consultation. Do not recommend. Extremely overpriced. Prices aren?t competitive even if they state that th

She put together all the reports and went over them with me before filing. I was impressed with the professionalism and timely completion. I will certainly be returning for everything f

This was our first year using Patriots Tax and Accounting and it could not have gone smoother. Sarah was super helpful and took her time explaining everything. Our taxes were filed very quickly and I thought their prices were extremely fair for the level of detail that was put into it. Will 100% be using them again next year.

Such a pleasure to deal with Patriots Tax & Accounting Service. I wish I had found them years ago. Amazing level of care, attention, combined with knowledge and experience.

Taxes are always so stressful but with her help and education through the process I did not feel any stress and felt like it wasn't as big of a deal as I tend to stress over.

I have done my own taxes using a seasonal service for a decade. I am not sure why I did not go to Patriots Tax & Accounting Services sooner.. I will never do my own taxes again after meeting Carlo and his staff. They were amazing on all aspects. Quickly done and all items were explained with detail. Once their busy time of the year is over, I am going to go back for guidance on future tax situations. Thanks again for the professional services.

Pleasant and easy to work with. A great help to me.

I recently met with Carlo about some tax matters and he was quite professional, knowledgeable and helpful. His answers were clear and succinct, and I will certainly seek his services in the future.

Cant say enough about Sarah at Patriots Tax and Accounting. Not only did she save us thousands in taxes after a crazy year but she was knowledgeable, swift, professional, and personable. If anyone is second guessing.. take that leap and call Sarah! Highly recommend.

We had an outstanding experience working with Sarah and Carlo. They were knowledgeable, accessible, efficient, and most importantly they were in our corner. We highly recommend them and look forward to a continued relationship.

I met with Nagham about my taxes, which I knew were going to be complicated. I was not sure if we would be able to get a tax refund this year. We reviewed the completed return within a week! On top of that, we will be getting a refund! Everyone at the office was nice and helped to explain our taxes in a way I understood.

We received quick and superior service! Sarah's customer service was exceptional! We will continue to use Patriots Tax and Accounting Service. Thank you!

They made the whole tax process so easy, were friendly and professional!

My husband and I have used the same CPA for as long as I can remember. Last year he retired and we found ourselves looking for someone new to file our returns this year. It was traumatic, to say the least. When I called Patriots Tax and Accounting, a delightful and competent young woman, Marlain, answered the phone and set up my appointment. Some issues required rescheduling, and Marlain handled that with professionalism and skill. When I met with Carlo, he put me at ease right away. Within 20 minutes

Sarah was very helpful and patient. Once I got her all we needed she completed the ammendment very quickly. Looking foward to Patriot's help with all my tax needs.

Carlo was very helpful in explaining my new tax situation. With Covid hitting in 2020, not only did I have W-2?s, I had unemployment and 1099?s from contract jobs I took on. He was responsive and very prompt doing my taxes...helping me get a bigger refund than the online H&R Block or Turbo Tax.

Thank you for the great service. I appreciated your patience in answering all my tax related question & good guidance on my important Tax saving decisions. Well done Carlo! Patricia Carter-Feindt Long & Foster RE

Carlo is awesome, I went in due to new documents that I have not dealt with before and he was more than willing to take the time to explain everything to me and figure things out in order to get my taxes filed correctly.

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.
