Customer Reviews

I'm very fortunate to met Ron Mutascio through my business partner. My husband and I started going to Ron in 2014. We had been going to a tax preparer in Quincy for years. But our taxes were getting more complicated, I was so worried, and it was too much for my tax preparer to handle. He told me it was too complicated and he needed to do more diligent research to do my taxes. At the time I met Ron, I shared my situation and he knew right away what needed to be done. At that moment, I felt relieved. Ron is

My husband and I started going to Ron Mutascio in 2014. We had been going to a tax preparer for years in Cambridge. But our taxes were getting more complicated, and we decided to look for an accountant. I have been really pleased with working with Ron. I have confidence in his knowledge of the tax codes. He is really wonderful to speak to, and his process for completing taxes is smooth, fast, and well organized. I have also recommended him to others who are very happy with his work.

Two years ago, when I met with Ron for the first time, my husband and I needed much more help than just preparing our taxes. We were in a financial sink hole and about to go under.? Ron sat down to talk to me to fully understand our situation...the why and how we got to this point.? He took the time to really listen, answer my questions, give me many recommendations. He suggested we meet with a financial advisor and chose one for us from a list of trusted colleagues. From that meeting we started to implemen

Ron came at the recommendation of some friends who also run their own business and I couldn't be happier with his approach, kindness and ease. He isn't the kind of guy who just wants to crunch numbers, but rather someone who takes an interest in your business and wants you to grow. Super grateful to have him on my side as a collaborator and advisor on things that impact business and taxes! 100% recommend.

Ron is incredibly detail-oriented and thorough in all his work. I really trust his eye and his recommendations for me regarding my taxes. He is willing to go above and beyond to help his clients. I'm very glad to have him as my accountant!

I have been doing business with RON since 2017, I am SO VERY fortunate to have read these reviews and found him that I figured it essential to pay it forward. I was seeking somebody to actually understand my business and advise a na?ve engineer to the s-corp responsibilities from a tax and business perspective. Enter Ron. This man professional enjoys advising, educating, and navigating you to understand your business options as defined by the latest governance. His annual letter before the tax season immedi

In the first tax year of my self employment my girlfriend kicked my but to go do my taxes. I was petrified. So I hit the pavement late and every cpa I spoke with kept saying extension etc. I would not take no for an answer and neither would Ron Mutascio who I found by accident, a beautiful accident. Ron Mutascio is the best. What do i know about accounting? Nothing. I can tell from Ron's personality that he is highly knowledgeable in everything he does and says. He is worth his weight in gold and it show

Ron Mutascio is a class act. Our daughter came to have serious problems with the State of Massachusetts and the IRS that could have derailed her career, and the same previously undiagnosed condition of hers that got her to that point also made it difficult for her to do what she needed to do to correct the problems. With far more understanding and concern, and patience, than one would ordinarily expect from someone in Ron's profession, he was able to work with our daughter and get the job done. We were will

THIS man is clearly RACIST ! Absolutely DISGUSTING , I?ve never taken the time to leave a review for anything but I want ALL my Latino/Black and conscious samaritans to avoid this man. I called in looking to hire an accountant for my newly started business as things are becoming overwhelming since revenue has increased significantly. I call the nearest place to my home ? Ron Mutascio and Associates ? , the call started with a person asking for my name , once he heard a Latino name , HIS WHOLE DEMEANOR shift

I've been working with Ron now for about a year and a half and he's been great! He takes the time to not only understand my situation but to explain things clearly. He's also always available to answer questions and help me think through different scenarios. His recommendations are spot on and the personal delivery is much appreciated.

I called to inquire about tax preparation. However, on the phone, the person who answered who I believed to be the owner or representative decided it was best to humiliate me by laughing at the top of his lungs instead of answering a question swiftly and respectfully. A simple "No" would have been sufficient. The BIG laughter was uncalled. His laugh was demeaning, derogatory, and highly condescending. I called the office because the reviews were highly positive; however, it would be my deepest disappointme

Lifesaver! Time saver! Ron's experience, knowledge and insights have saved me and my family tons of stress and heartache over the years. None better. Worth every penny and a great guy too!

Ron is the best and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an accountant!

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.
