Mr. Hubert and his team are amazing! They are very knowledgable, professional, and very helpful. We recently moved to Atlanta and needed a new accountant to help us file our complicated income from different sources. Mr. Hubert was able to help us file everything correctly and to the best of our benefits. He gave great financial advices we never got from other accountants we've used. He also was able to save us from a very expensive mistake our previous accountant made! The service fee is also very reas
I had a crazy changing year last year and avoided doing my taxes. I tried on my own and have been doing it for 10 yrs, but since I'm a new 1099'r, I had no idea how to work it. Long story short, I reached out to P&C, and Jackie contacted me and gave me a list of items to prepare for our initial visit. Once they were done, I came out better than I thought I would, and when it was finished, Hubert called me personally to walk me thru the finished product. He answered all my questions, and I will be retur
Hubert Pereira and his team, especially Andrew, are absolutely fantastic. We needed help with our business returns, and we were so impressed, we asked them to do our personal returns as well. They are knowledgeable, but even more impressive, they make themselves very accessible. We could ONLY meet on Saturdays, and they accommodated our schedule each and every time, on top of their rapid response to phone calls and/or emails. They also offered stellar advice and patience when it came to resolving disput
High quality service provided in a very short amount of time, making filing a tax return much less painful that it can be using other accounting professionals. I really recommend Pereira CPA and his team! I worked with Hubert and he was fabulous solving all my doubts! I will definitely work with them from now.
We began working with this company in 2014. We had a few years of complicated Taxes & Hubert helped us get through those years of filing. We are working on our next batch now. He has been in the industry many years & took the burden off of us & made signing & filing easy. I also love the new office. Nice comfortable d?cor & they offered me hot tea while we discussed our finances. Make your requests & expectations known to them, and they will do their best to deliver.
Hubert Pereira did an amazing job!! I was dealing with a new tax situation and was absolutely clueless as to how to file my taxes this year. He took the time to explain the filing and made to process extremely simple. Then after preparing this years taxes I was in the process of purchasing a home and caught a mistake on my taxes from the previous year, he not only calmly resolved my issue he did it at a moments notice due to the time constraints of my pending closing. I cant describe how grateful I am for h
Mr. Pereira and his team are very professional, knowledge and friendly. Hubert completely put my mind at ease with all of the new tax laws and how they would effect my family. My expectations were met and exceeded, I highly recommend Mr. Pereira and his team.
As an small business in Marietta I was a bit overwhelmed with all the forms and complexities in setting up my business and taxation affairs. I'm happy to have finally found an accountant that knows what he's talking about! I've been to a few accountants before Pereira but none seemed to have the breadth and depth of knowledge in this particular area (small business taxation) as Pereira. He also prepared the forms for me in advance which was a big help. I'm definitely going to return to Pereira next year.
I would like to express my gratitude for the effort that the Pereira and Company team has put in towards my business and personal taxes.Looking forward to seeing my business continue growing with a team of Professionals. I recommend Pereira and Company to anyone in Georgia that's looking for a great CPA family. Pereira and Company can also be found on IRS.gov under Directory of FTR Preparers Credentials & Select Qualifications. Kingsley With Thanks,
Mr. Hubert is very professional I found him searching for a CPA in Marietta. He is very professional and knowlegable. I like that every time I call I am able to speak to the secretary to make appointments with Mr. Hurbert or ask any questions. He is always available and he has flexible schedule on Saturdays. Thanks Mr. Hurbert I am very satisfied with my Tax Return!!!! I will be returning next year

I have been a client of Pereira and Company for 3 years, and all I can say is, thanks! Hubert Pereira has helped me with all aspects of by business and personal tax, I couldn't be happier. We hope we can use him for many years to come.

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.
