Customer Reviews

Ron is both dedicated and very knowledgeable but his work ethic, on behalf of his clients, is truly without peer. Besides that he is an all around good guy who is fun (yes, an tax accountant who is fun) and easy to work with. Ron has helped me tremendously in all things tax-related in addition to providing sound advice regarding basic management of my business. I recommended him very, very highly!

Ron D'Arminio has been our CPA for over 13 years and whether you're a small to mid-size company, a multi-national corporation, or an individual tax payer, Ron is one of the most qualified and trustworthy accountants we have ever worked with. We count on his expertise completely and have recommended him to numerous colleagues and will continue to do so.

One of the first decisions we made when we started our consulting business was to find an accountant. We knew planning was so important and we knew we had a lot to learn and quickly. Ron made us comfortable in our first meeting because it was clear that he understood every issue we brought up and many more that we needed to understand. Our trust in Ron was immediate and well founded. Ron was with us every step of the way and in just a short time we had a comprehensive plan to set the business up to fully m

I have been using Ron for many years. He is professional and very knowledgeable of all aspects of accounting. Starting out with personal returns then adding in small business, Ron has been there to guide us through all our accounting needs. I highly recommend Ron for all your tax purposes.

If you are an entrepreneurial owner seeking a professional advisor and confidant to support you in advancing your vision and grow true wealth, then I highly recommend Ron D?Arminio. I respect Ron as a strategic advisor for our accounting and tax issues, as well as our overall business strategies. I am always impressed with his ability to read situations and provide invaluable perspective that helps us reach our personal and business goals.

We love our CPA, Ron D'Arminio CPA! He has helped us navigate through various tax situations in the last 4 years, both business and personal, always taking extra time to explain and follow up, putting us as ease. He has gone above and beyond what one would expect from a CPA. His tax advice and knowledge has always been accurate, professional, and thorough!

Mr. D'Arminio is exactly what you hope to find in a certified tax professional. Based on my 10 plus years of working with him.. he exemplifies an utmost processional who is extremely knowledgeable in all facets of the complex world of taxes, dependable, accommodating and responsive to any of my questions and concerns. Very pleased with the services he provides.

There are a couple hundred thousand people across the country who "do taxes," but just a couple hundred "Certified Tax Coaches." The difference between a tax preparer and a CTC is like the difference between an abacus and an iPad. Ron doesn't just fill out tax forms, he gives you a plan to manage your taxes and pay the least amount allowed.

My wife currently live in Montclair. We own 2 properties in Montclair and 1 in South Orange. We are both small business owners so have very specific needs. We are big fans of Ron! He is a hike to get to from Montclair but worth the drive.

We have been using Ron for years. He is professional and very knowledgeable. Love working with him! Thanks for all you do for us!

Just wanted to pop in and send you a quick note of thanks for the beautiful gift basket you sent us for Christmas! We so appreciate you thinking of us. We are so blessed to have found you to be our accountant and look forward to many years working together. May you and your family have a Blessed Christmas and New Year! ~ Dan & Kim

I have being using Ron and his form for many years. It is obviously important to have a CPA but even more important as a business owner to have a Tax Advisor!!!

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.
