We have used this payroll service for 5 years now. Flawless execution and no problems. But when we had two overdue audits several members of the staff stepped up and send me the information I needed multiple times over a 3 day period. Outsourcing our payroll here was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Thank you for making my our lives easier. Woodruff family auto

I am a small contractor with a few employees and I've been using R&R Payroll for about 10 years. One of the things that sets apart people and organizations is how they behave during a breakdown, you know when things don't go right. And I've had many breakdowns on my side over the years and the staff at R&R has always been right there to clean up my mess and provide wonderful service. I've never had one mistake from them, their performance is 100% over 10 years. If you're shopping for a payroll company,

I found R&R Payroll and BK on similar review sites. I was at a point where I was in desperate need of payroll and BK services, especially since our small business is in the GOVCON sector and subject to prevailing wage laws. R&R Payroll and BK was able to quickly run diagnostics on my existing books and jump right into taking control. I cannot say enough good things about the people and the Company. I highly recommend them for all of your BK and Payroll needs.
I am thrilled with R & R payroll services. When I call with questions or concerns they follow up promptly and professionally. Great team of people.

Mark and his staff have been a life-saver for my small business!! A few years ago when I needed to hire my first employee, I didn't know how I was going to figure out all the tax 'stuff' in the most taxed state in the nation! A friend of mine referred me to Mark at R&R Payroll as he was just moving his business to the area at the time. He easily handled EVERYTHING I needed and continues to do that for now a staff of 7!!!

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.
