We love Ryan Morris. He is professional and pleasant. BTW, those insane people that believe higher income homes pay 1% tax need to know that we have the best accountant in the world and we are almost 38% bracket. So they need to wake up and go to work so they can contribute to the economy like the rest of the hard workers out there.
I do think this is a good overall business based on the feedback I received. However, I called and asked for a CPA, and I was setup with an older gentlemen at the Tioga office (first office on left as you enter). During our first meeting, he started up with talk about politics, akin to what you would see on sensationalized news, something I don't want to discuss with my CPA. Also he lamented about not being in the group pictures on the Reddish and White website, but now I understand why. I was looking fo
Hands Down, the best experience with taxes I have ever had. Typically, I will prepare my own taxes (and be within a few hundred or so of the expected return), but not this time, as I received significantly more. They worked on various incomes/business expenses/rental properties as if they did it everyday for a living, something my previous tax preparer never took time to delve into. Clearly, Reddish and White are different than your "franchise" tax preparers in town. They had the decades of experience,
I'm a small business owner who just opened up shop in July of 2016. I knew right out of the gate that I needed to get an accountant on board, and sadly my first choice wasn't Reddish & White. The first accountant totally dropped the ball, and left me in a state of panic. Then I turned to the folks over at Reddish & White. First off, they treated me like family which immediately helped build the trust which had been badly broken with due to my prior accountant. And right off the bat, the team over at Re
I trust Reddish and White for my personal and business tax returns. They are always on top of the latest developments in taxation so I know that I am benefiting from all available deductions and planning tools. I use them for tax planning advice as well. They are true professionals in every respect and I endorse them without hesitation.
Recommended to us by a friend a few years back, this accounting firm is by far well worth the money. Jobe is hands down terrific! Makes the tax process so much easier, and truly finds the best route for our small business year after year. Wouldn't use anyone else.
Job and his staff at Reddish White are hands down the best CPA's I've had the chance to work with. They are not only extremely knowledgeable and well versed in several types of businesses, but they are always willing to help answer questions without batting an eye to help you. Outstanding company!
Now that the traditional tax preparation season is over, keep up the momentum and run your return by Jobe E. White for an independent review. One of two things will occur - you?ll add confidence to your submission or put cash in your pocket both good outcomes. Don?t hesitate, contact them today.
Three words describe our experience using Reddish and White to do our taxes: Fast, Fast, Fast! Fast response to our questions, fast response to requesting and receiving our documents, and fast in getting everything filed! Our experience couldn't have been any better and we will continue to use their services each tax season!
I had absolutely the BEST experience with my new business with Job E. He was knowledgeable in every aspect, thorough, and fast. I?ve been having my personal taxes done for years and it has NEVER been this thorough. Thank You Jobe E. and Cindy. You are amazing.
Cindy is my CPA and she has been helping me with my personal and business taxes for years. She has gone back and forth with advice for my trucking business a million times. She has full access to my QuickBooks accounting and I heavily rely on her. I would be lost without her.
Ryan Morris is the best CPA in Gainesville. I have shopped around, and there is no one better than him. I hope to use Ryan and the firm for many years to come.
Reddish and white are the best in the business. They take the fear and stress out of filing! They are SUPER fast and professional and they saved us a ton of money. Do yourself a favor and hire them TODAY.
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.
