Marcin is such a joy to work with! He is incredibly patient and responsive and willing to go the extra mile for his customers. Marcin handled my household taxes, including taxes for paying W2 household employee (nanny). The payroll company I had used created some issues, and Marcin helped me to identify and solve these. I definitely recommend Rapacz CPA!
I have my own small business, and Marcin was highly recommended to me two years ago by another small business owner. He is reliable, knowledgeable, and pays attention to the important details: everything you need in a CPA and tax accountant. But Marcin is above and beyond: he is trustworthy, kind, and so easy to work with. I cannot recommend him enough!
Such a nice family man. He responds quickly to any questions. He is very thorough and professional. I trust him and I am very happy to be working with him.
My wife and I recently moved to Ohio and were looking for someone to file our taxes. We are SO happy that we hired Marcin to file our taxes. From start to finish, he was communicative, kind, and responsive. Marcin filed our taxes quickly and made himself available for any questions that we had. We felt completely comfortable the entire time having Marcin file our taxes. If you're looking for financial help, you cannot go wrong with Marcin! Thanks for all the great work!!!!

Marcin is amazing! I?ve been using him for the past 4 years and he always makes sure things are done properly and efficiently. I plan on continuing to use him till he decides to quit ??. Which I hope isn?t soon. I would recommend him to ANYONE who wants their finances taking care of with care! Thank you Marcin!
I have been in business over 25 years and this is the first accountant that was able to get my business in a proactive position and simplify my accounting process. Marcin always goes the extra mile for me, my business and my family and works hard to make sure you always understand your financials. Since working with him, my stress has gone down and I now have extra time to spend with my family and developing my company. Give him a call. You will not regret it. One of the best moves you will ever make!
Had my taxes done by someone else in 2023 and had a terrible experience. I used to use TurboTax and have been wanting a tax person. Tried Rapacz this year and the whole experience was perfect, exactly what I was looking for. I'm even going to have them work with me for my business taxes. Polite, helpful, trustworthy and everything you'd hope for when doing taxes.

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.
