We have been using Derrick at Precise tax for many years now. He has done a great job for us and we are very pleased with his work. He is easy to get a hold of, and he aways has an answer for my questions. We have a couple of different business that he does our accounting for and we would be lost with out him. We are very grateful for Derrick and his team and all they do for us to keep us up and running efficiently. I would recommend Precise Tax in a heartbeat!

Very satisfied with my experience. If you do your own taxes, stop. It's not worth the time nor the mistakes. Please trust me and give them a call. Derrick has done my taxes the last couple years and I am beyond impressed. He is able to help answer any questions you may have and really has your best interest in mind. Not to mention he is very prompt and easy to work with. If I contacted him for any reason, he got back to me within that same business day. Within a week to two weeks everything was finalized an

Derrick at Precise Tax has taken amazing care of both my personal taxes and my business. With my business his policies are not only more professional, but they are also much less expensive than other companies in town. He has also been willing to come and consult and give advise, without exorbitant extra fees, I am fully confident my personal and business taxes are being well taken care of by Precise Tax

I have no reservations recommending Precise Tax. Derrick has been great to work with. He really knows the tax law and and was extremely helpful in taking care of a big concern for a business of mine. He is honest and had my best interest in mind. Thanks and keep up the great work!

I have been using Precise Tax for the past few years and couldn't be more happy. Derrick and his staff do a great job and are very knowledgeable about all things tax related. He has definitely saved me a lot of money!

Derrick Clark at Precise tax and accounting along with the rest of his staff have always taken great care to save me every penny of my hard earned money that they can. I have never had a referral that I sent their way come back disappointed. I highly recommend them for your Taxes or Business needs!!

Precise Tax has provided payroll services and has prepared my personal and business tax returns for the last 8 years. I have found they are priced very competitively, are accessible and have always benn willing to go the extra mile to answer questions and make sure we are always in compliance with ever-changing tax laws. As an attorney, I have referred many, many clients to Precise Tax over the years, and have always gotten positive feedback, indicating they have been treated similarly. My only complaint

I have worked with several accountants before I switched to Derrick and they (the old accountants) never seemed to care about me or my business. Derrick has guided and helped make great decisions for my business and I've saved SO much money. I recommend him to everyone I know because I am so pleased with their service.

It's that time if year again to start thinking about taxes. And with the help of Derrick and the team at Precise Tax I actually look forward to getting my taxes done. Last year was great experience and I expect this year to be the same. They will also do a review of your taxes from last year. If you tried to save money by doing it youryour. And most times they can find things that you missed.

We have had Derrick at Precise Tax do our taxes and run our payroll for several years now . We have always been very happy with the service and results we get from Precise Tax. I would highly recommend them for your Business and/or Personal Tax Adviser .

Derrick has been my go-to guy for all things taxes, deductions and payroll for many years. He specializes in businesses but also does personal returns. For people that think they can save money with TurboTax, don?t be fooled. Every friend I have sent has saved hundreds to thousands of dollars. Trust Precise. You won?t regret it!

Reception staff failed to explain the filing process accurately. Also, the front staff didnt return phone calls in a timely manner. Very disappointed.

Simply the best! Derrick has been doing my taxes for years. He's very knowledgeable, he saves me time by making the process easy and convenient, plus, I love having someone I trust doing my taxes.

I had my taxes done with Precise Tax and had them amend my previous year as well! They were fast, efficient, and well priced! They were able to advise me on tax information for future years and i will continue to use them for my tax and accounting needs! I highly recommend them.

I'm very impressed how Derrick is always ahead of the game when it comes to changes in tax laws and filing processes. They are always upfront about the tax filing process and focused on saving business money. If youb think your saving money our time by filing your own taxes give Precise Tax a chance to change your mind.

I used to do my taxes with TurboTax but decided to have Precise take care of it. They were super friendly and took care of me in a timely manner, it was a breeze. Not to mention I got a much better return than what I got with TurboTax! I would highly recommend filing with Precise tax!

Bean Counters Beware, The guys at precise Tax are wizards. Not only are the great at what they do, I have confidence in sending the most interesting people, with the most incredible stories to get help from Derrick and the others there. I have confidence that no matter what experiences they have had before they will call me thanking me later for the referral.

I work with Cary within the office and couldn't be happier! Very straightforward, honest, and patient with my questions. They do my taxes for my business, and my personal life and have helped tremendously. I would recommend them to ANY family or business.

Derrick and company do our payroll. They do a fantastic job. Great follow up, always get back to us with adjustments and questions. For years I put off having a service do this for us. Now I can't imagine what we did before them.

My taxes are not your everyday W2 stuff as my wife and I both own multiple businesses and otherwise. Precise Tax is always simplistic in what they demand of me and yet amazingly thorough. After using them for a few years I can't even imagine using anyone else. If you have taxes being done in Utah, you NEED to be using Precise!

I had the gentlemen at Precise do my taxes for me. I had a lot with a 1099 and a w2. Shandon handled it beautifully and maximized my savings in a very professional manner. I will be going back year after year

Derrick being a small business owner before an account knows what business need and want. He sat down with me initial to get to know my goals and business. Has done a great job working with us.

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.
