Rakatansky CPA

We've worked with several CPAs over the years, and Alex stands out by a mile. He took the time to genuinely understand our business and never rushed through conversations. Instead of just handling the numbers, Alex has been a true partner - patient, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable. He breaks down topics in a way that?s easy to understand and always makes sure we feel confident in the decisions we?re making. It?s rare to find someone who combines technical expertise with this level of care and attenti

Alex is amazing! He makes tax season stress-free and efficient. He communicates quickly via email, providing clear and detailed guidance that makes the filing process seamless. I live quite far away from his office and only see him once a year, but it?s always a pleasure to speak with him. His wealth of knowledge and thorough support are invaluable. Highly recommended!

Working with Alex was an absolute pleasure! He made the entire tax filing process smooth and stress-free, guiding us through each step with clarity and patience. He took the time to answer all our questions thoroughly, ensuring we felt confident about both our business and personal tax filings. Thanks to his expertise, everything was handled seamlessly, and I look forward to continuing with "my tax guy" from here on out! I highly recommend Alex to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and reliable tax professio

Alex is knowledgeable, communicative, and easy to work with. He takes the time to explain the details behind his work in a way that?s clear and helpful. We?ve really valued his responsiveness and the level of care he brings to every conversation.

Alex is very helpful and responsive. He provides excellent guidance and always answers questions in a timely fashion. I would definitely recommend his services for tax or financial issues.

I highly, highly recommend using Alex Rakatansky's CPA services. He is extremely professional, polite, and thorough. He went far above and beyond what I would have expected a CPA to do to solve a complicated tax problem (a mistake I made when filing my own returns in prior years). He also found several deductions I had missed that saved me much more than his services cost. He will be my CPA for the rest of my life.

First year as a client and first time I?ve have my taxes submitted before March, and without having to fill in forms that just duplicate my documents. Alex is knowledgeable, accessible, and straightforward. Looking forward to working with him in the future.

My accountant of 20 years retired at the the age off 88. I met with Alex last fall and he was very professional and knowledgeable. He just finished my Corp S taxes and will proceed with personal in the near future. I?m very happy with his services and I hope you will too. There is nothing there not to like!

I recommend Alex with enthusiasm. He's experienced, makes himself available (even during Busy Season), and his technology makes the typically tedious document aggregation and submission process painless. We look forward to working with him again next year.

Alex is so down to earth and approachable, especially to someone who is NOT a numbers person! He does my personal and small business taxes and I has been immensely supportive, professional, and timely.

I switched to the Rakatansky firm this year and this has been the quickest, most pleasant and professional tax filing experience in my 50 years of having my taxes done. Plus, they reviewed my taxes from last year and were able to correct that with a sizable increase in my refund.

Alex was fantastic to work with for both our personal and business returns. It was the easiest tax filing ever! Thank you, Alex!

Alex is fantastic to work with. His communication is great, he advised me about deductions and credits that my previous tax advisor missed and he worked very quickly! My ability to plan for and manage my business this year is greatly enhanced because of his expertise. Will definitely do biz again!!!

The best online tax system I have ever used. I really love that I can take photos with my phone and upload it from there, no need to use a scanner. If I just buckle down and do it, it only takes an hour or two to get all our documents uploaded. Great, professional service that gives us peace of mind that our taxes are done correctly. Thank you, Alex!

Our non-profit Institute has worked with Alex Rakatansky for many years. He is efficient, and so helpful answering our questions about the 990 and MA Form PC he files for us each year. We have worked with others, but Alex is by far the best!

Alex is phenomenal. Truly, he's a genuine partner far beyond just tax or financial services. His meticulous attention to detail and strategic thinking are the best of the best. I could not run my business without him.

Amazing experience! Prompt, smart, friendly. Alex is incredibly responsive - 5 stars!

Alex and his team have been amazing to work with! Their knowledge and attention to detail has been superior. They?ve helped our business stay organized and accountable (pun intended). I?m so happy he took us on! We consider him a cornerstone to our business! Thank you Alex!

I am so grateful that there are knowledgeable and experienced CPAs like Alex Rakatansky who are also wonderful human beings. Alex kindly agreed to do our taxes which involved two different states, the sale of a home, and a bunch of other complicated stuff. He was always cheerful and, most important, patient when taking my calls, answering my questions and asking for the information that would help him be able to do the taxes appropriately. I highly recommend his services.

We had Alex prepare and submit our 2022 tax returns and the process was seamless. He quickly and pleasantly responded to any questions I had as a newly self employed sole proprietor. Alex?s turn around time was fast and we have already received our refunds. I would recommend Alex to anyone looking for help with their taxes and will continue to work with him in the future.

Alex Rakatansky filed my S-Corp and personal taxes this year with patience and diligence. Alex also performed excellent under pressure as I was late to file, he made sure we met the deadline and avoid paying late fees. Alex's advice is always spot on. He's trustworthy, honest, professional, and extremely patient. He helped my wife file jointly as well. I highly recommend Alex to anyone who is looking to understand taxes and the process.

Alex is an absolutely great guy and very helpful! I had an odd tax situation come up as part of an investment that I had made that resulted in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Alex was able to outline the approach and determine the right tax strategy with just a short meeting. I would highly recommend Alex for anyone needing help for unique situations.

Alex helped us sort out a number of issues with our taxes this year and he was just fantastic. Everything you read in these other reviews about his calm demeanor is spot on. We sent a lot of info in at the last minute and he was really cool about sorting it all out while I was panicking. He's knowledgeable, thorough, and really easy to work with. Highly recommend!

This was our first year using Alex for our Federal and State Tax filing. The process was super smooth. I enjoyed working with Alex, and plan to use his services for many years to come. Great experience, fully satisfied!

I highly recommend Alex and his company to anyone who is looking for an amazing accountant and for any financial advisory in their personal or business affairs!

Alex is a gentleman and a scholar. I recently had to switch my accountant since their office was just not responsive enough. Alex took me on as a new client and turned around on my taxes in weeks not months. He is accessible and knowledgeable and a valuable partner in my business.

Alex has helped my family for years now. He is extremely efficient, knowledgeable, and very kind. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an accountant they can trust.

Very knowledgeable and I've never had any issues. He is always responsive and picks up the phone to help me with any of my questions. He is very personable and serves you as if you were his only client. I HIGHLY recommend Alex and he knows what he is doing. Thank you for all of your help.

Alex helped us resolve issues with both Mass DOR and the IRS. He has a way of putting you at ease during a time when most people would be in a frenzied mood, and getting you focused. Alex is also very up to date on the tax code and pointed out some important deductions that we were able to take advantage of for this past season. We will be using Rakatansky every year for our filings going forward. Thanks Alex!

Alex has been helping with my tax returns for three years now. Every time it?s been a very positive experience. Alex also goes beyond his way to help with tax and financial advising and support. Highly recommended!

Alex is very knowledgeable and has been a great help in maximizing my returns. His guidance shows a real expertise in his field. He has made filing my taxes a breeze over the last few years.

I had a fantastic experience with Alex. In a few concise emails, we had an easy information exchange and favorable outcome. Alex digs deep and really knows his stuff. He also has a great demeanor and is super pleasant to work with.

I called Alex in a mild panic near the extended tax deadline, as I had an issue I couldn't figure out. He made time for me that day, helped me file, and was thoughtful, clear in explaining things, and all-around great. I'll be filing with him for years to come ... on time!

When I met Alex I contacted him late in the season. He fit me right in and took care of me. He always makes great suggestions for me to think about. He has taken care of several of my referrals and everybody has had the same great experience! He has my trust and confidence!

We've been using RR&A for the last several years and we can't recommend Alex enough. He is such a great accountant - chill, professional, attentive, always there when we need him, takes up any unorthodox issues and solves them with ease. A pleasure to work with!

Coming to see Alex is always great. He is very organized and knowledgeable. He lets me know ahead of time what exactly to bring and finds ways to help me save. I highly recommend having Rakatansky and Rakatansky do your taxes!

I have been a client for over 10 years and have used Ira and Alex for both my business and personal returns. I have never been disappointed. They have an excellent domain knowledge both in financial and accounting matters. I highly recommend.

I have been using Rakatansky, Rakatansky, & Associates for my business taxes for the last 5 years. They are prompt, professional, and provide quality service at a very reasonable cost. Alex and Ira are very easy to work with and are available to answer questions throughout the year that come up in regards to my business. I would highly recommend them.

R&R Associates have been preparing my income taxes for years. Ira and Alex are fully aware of all the latest IRS rules and how they apply to your individual situation. Me and my whole family have always been very pleased with thier fast, accurate and professional services.

My close friends introduced me to Alex and Ira from RR&A, and I can?t thank them enough. I have used different accountants through my years, and none have been as professional and courteous as they have been. When I first met them a few years ago it was just before tax season was ending and they fit me and my son in without hesitation. They really treat you like family, I have called them numerous times and they are always there to support and give advice. I can?t say enough good things about them. If you a

Alex has been doing my personal and business taxes for years. He is always available to answer questions and provide advice on my business. I recommend RRA for anyone looking for a gear accountant.

I spoke with Alex about my tax situation and he was very helpful. We discussed my self employment income and the various tax deductions I could take. He also reviewed the work of another accountant for free. I will be using him for my tax work going forward.

Alex was super easy to work with and the process is as painless as they can make it. The collaboration site was easy to use and intuitive and all messages were replied to promptly. I highly recommend!!

I called looking for accountant services for my mushroom farm and even though this firm couldn't provide services for farms, the person I was talking to was a huge help in getting me on the right track to find someone who can! I enjoy meeting a fellow human that is passionate about their work, and Alex went above and beyond. It's a shame I can't hire them, I can tell they know what they are doing!

I have used Ira and Alex for my taxes for 5 years now. They have had to handle complicated situations like buying and selling a home, death of a spouse, sale of stocks and crypto, and sale of a company and they have made it easy for me. I tell anyone I know that is looking for someone to prepare their taxes to use Rakatansky, Rakatansky & Associates.

Working with Alex has been a pleasure. He has helped me incredibly since my transition over to his company, from my previous accountant. A seamless transition.

Alex handled my mother's complex taxes with ease and gave me great advice! He even helped us get an extension filing penalty reversed.

I called up with a tax question and got their voice mail. Ira Rakatansky was on another call, but called back within five minutes. He listened to my question, including the background, and gave a thorough answer as well as proactively giving me related advice on my tax return for next year. He said it was a simple question that didn't take much time to answer, and he wouldn't charge me for that. I found him friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I realize this is a very limited interaction on which to b

Have worked with them for years and they have done wonderful work.

We?re very thankful for Alex?s professional and efficient work on our taxes. He made it very easy to understand the answers to our questions. It was a pleasure to speak and deal with a Gentleman.

I highly recommend Rakatansky, Rakatansky & Associates. I have two businesses and, of course, personal taxes to work out. Tax season was incredibly stressful before I found them. They're personable, professional, responsive, and just a pleasure to work with year-round!

These guys were great. I usually feel intimidated and embarrassed by my lack of knowledge on financial matters. A situation came up where I needed advice. Alex and Ira explained things to me in a way that was super simple to understand. No mumbo jumbo. It was like a switch was flipped where I went from being afraid of the unknown to actually feeling excited because everything suddenly made sense. They treated me like I was a friend. Cost was much less than I would have expected. Can't recommend them

They are awesome..care is given to all the details of your account. We can feel confident that we are getting all the benefits allowed for our account. It takes the stress out of tax time! I would highly recommend this firm.

I wish I could give RR&A more than 5 stars. I'd give them 100 stars if the option was there. They are professional and take a personal interest in whatever they're assisting you with. Always courteous and responsive. I can only hope they're around for the rest of my life to help tackle my tax needs. Thank you RR&A!!!!!!!!!
