Siebert & Associates was fantastic to work with! They were quick to reply with answers to any question, to prepare our taxes and even provided help with how to reduce our taxes for next year. Their staff, especially John & Hope, were very professional and so friendly. This is the first time we have used a tax accountant and we?re so glad that we found them.
My veterinary practice had an accountant for years however she recently retired from business accounting and we were in need of a new firm to work with. I really wanted someone who was well versed in the veterinary business and through vetcpa.org we linked up with Siebert & Associates in the middle of 2024. We have been so happy working with them - they are a breath of fresh air and truly feel like a partner for our business. They have answered my questions kindly and never make me feel as though I am naiv
As a professional commercial realtor and property manager, my clients have been using Siebert & Associates, CPAs for many many years with great satisfaction. Highly professional, a joy to do business with, and highly recommended.
Great people to have on your team when you?re dealing with the IRS. Knowledgeable, efficient, professional. I?ve recommended them to my family members.
I switched to Siebert and Associates after several years of frustration with our prior accounting firm. It's been just over a year since the switch, and they've just completed both my business and personal tax returns. I'm very happy with the service we've received. They have definitely delivered more fine-tuned and personalized service with much greater consideration of the intricacies of our business than my prior accounting firm would have ever been capable.
We have been working with John since moving to Columbus from Philadelphia nearly 8 years, ago. He, and his staff, are absolutely amazing!! He was recommended by a friend, and we have been delighted. Not only for our own taxes, but he also worked with my elderly mum (recently passed) when we moved her here from overseas. John, Hope, and the entire team are always available to answer any questions; and, should they not know the answer immediately, will do all the research to find it and reply quickly. I
Siebert & Associates has consistently provided excellent tax service to me and my family. They are always willing to work with us if we have any questions. They are very thorough, always working through multiple scenarios to make sure we are optimizing our tax strategy.
Siebert and Associates, CPA's are great personal and business CPA's. I've worked with many CPA firms, E&Y, KPMG, and Regionals such as Meaden and Moore, and John Siebert is the absolute best. He has the technology to make filing taxes easy, he has a great team that can get answers, and he answers his phone if he is available. I've worked with John and the Siebert team for nearly 20 years and plan on continuing to work with them for many more. I highly recommend Siebert & Associates, CPAs
Excellent professional tax service. Knowing my taxes are done right is a big plus.
They have prepared my business and personal taxes for over 15 years! Enjoy the personal service. Always ready to answer any question and help in any way needed.
I have used John Siebert for my accountant for at least 15 years and am very pleased. He handled our business accounting services for several years and now my personal matters. John makes it a point to understand your business and is very thorough. He is prompt and his office staff is courteous and friendly. I would highly recommend Siebert and Reynolds.
We have been with Siebert & Associates for over 10 years. John and team have been great partners in tax planning, tax preparation and council.
Siebert & Associates has been an important help to us in navigating taxes for our LLC and approaching retirement. Always friendly, good technology for document uploading and exchange, and great follow through in dealing with government taxing entities when necessary. Their professional approach yand personal attention yields a higher confidence level than trying to navigate the tax landscape with a chain firm or computer program. Well worth it!
Wasn't happy with the services offered here. I tried their services based on recommendation and I felt as if I wasn't a valued new customer. I dropped off our taxes and there was no communication as to when they'd be processed. I also gave them a flash drive from my previous years taxes and didn't receive it back. I was told they'd be downloaded digitally to their online platform. When I asked for the status of our taxes I was told they'd be completed after business taxes, which is fine if only there would
A great experience with our complicated tax filings. John and staff provided a detailed request for tax records, producing thorough tax filings. Extremely good at customer service - our questions were always answered quickly. Year after year they exceed our pervious tax preparer experience. We highly recommend Siebert & Associates, CPA, for tax preparation .
Run away if you can. I had the same experience as the other 1 star reviews on here with delayed processing resulting in late fees, little to no communication through the prep process, and of course shocking fees that somehow increase every year for the same work. I never knew an accountant who didn?t pre-disclose his prep fees but if you like surprise fees every year when you do taxes, then please do your taxes with this company. When you call to point out reasonable dissatisfaction, you are confronted with
Great job! Everyone there is very professional and quick to reply to questions.
We have utilized Siebert & Reynolds for nearly 10 years now and have been satisfied with their tax knowledge and professional treatment. It has been a great relief to us to know they are filing our tax returns in a timely and accurate manner and stand behind their work.
We have worked with John for many years and have always been highly satisfied. We closed our business and moved to another state, but came back to him for our current business and personal tax needs. We know we can trust him and are confident in his abilities and fairness. He and his wife, Hope, are always helpful and answer any questions we have.
This was my third year using Siebert & Associates for our personal tax returns, and I've been very pleased. In fact, this year they introduced new software that made the process even less painless than the previous two years!
My husband and I started our own business this year and was looking to find a more professional, knowledgeable accountant that not only did personal accounting, but business as well. We were recommended to John Siebert by a friend of ours and couldn't be any more pleased! Not only did we get what we were looking for out of an accountant, but we got much more. He not only was professional and very knowledgeable, but was also super friendly, easy to contact if/when we had questions, and he even took the time
My husband Dale Sogge and I have used Siebert and Reynolds for our personal and business accounting needs and we have been very pleased. They are easy to get a hold of and friendly on the phone when we call. They were especially helpful in providing employment advice during the pandemic. They are knowledgable and honest and very helpful. We highly recommend them.
Siebert & Reynolds have been doing my taxes for over fifteen years and have done a tremendous job. They are thorough, professional, and quick. They make you feel like family as they work for you.
Very knowledgeable firm with important information small business owners need to know and understand during times that we need it the most. It is a smart move to create a relationship where your accountant understands your individual business and you as an individual. Highly recommended service. Thank you to John, Phil, Hope, and the rest of your team. It's been a pleasure walking through this life with you at our side. Continued success.
John, Hope and the rest of company are excellent, professional and clearly able to help with all tax matters. Appreciate their timely and efficient operation with our personal and business tax returns. They were exceptional during covid and post covid to answer questions and solve problems!
I have been a client of John and his team for about 8 years and they have never failed me. They are always timely and professional. I recommend Siebert and Reynolds to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and trustworthy relationship with their CPA.
We have used Siebert & Reynold's CPA's for our non-profit organization and filing our annual tax returns. They do a great job and their team is always helpful to answer any questions that we might have throughout the year. I would definitely recommend them for your business or personal use.
Excellent service, including prompt updates and responses, year after year!
I couldn't recommend Siebert & Reynolds less. I don?t believe that I?ve felt less valued as a new client at any business than I have with Siebert & Reynolds. The lack of communication, guidance, privacy of information concerns, untimely filing, and frankly blas? attitude toward customer service led to an utterly disappointing and frustrating experience. First off, If you?re concerned about your private information, I?d look elsewhere. Another client?s federal return, which contained sensitive identifying
John and his team have been doing my personal taxes for years. He and his team are friendly, always available and experts in tax preparation, legislation and guidance. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing assistance with their personal taxes.
Ive not had great luck with accountants prior to coming to John Siebert. I did not come to him in good accounting shape and needed a lot of guidance. They are a great firm that does what they say they are going to do. I am very happy to have them on my team and you will be to.
I've known John Siebert for over 40 years, so when it became necessary for us to use a CPA for our taxes because of the complexities of our return, I had no hesitation in calling John. I trust him and know he and his staff stay current on tax issues and will be thorough and accurate.
John and his team have done a wonderful job with my business and personal taxes and planning. They are extremely timely, trustworthy and courteous. I am very pleased with the pre-planning and his advice on how to maximize my money.
John has been helping us with tax planning for my business since we opened the doors in 2008. He has done a fantastic job for us and is readily available for any questions or concerns that we may have. I highly recommend John for any business or personal tax planning and accounting.
We have partnered with Siebert & Reynolds CPAs for many years through the Pickerington Area Chamber. We have been extremely pleased with their services, staff friendliness, and timely filing of our taxes. Thank you John and Team!
They did a good job on my taxes, but gave me a $600 bill last year. That wasn't a tax liability, but the bill to have the taxes prepared was $600. This year I went somewhere else, having no less forms, and even had some extra stuff like the sale of a house, and the bill was $180. It's safe to say I'm not going to return.
Siebert & Associates have prepared and filed our returns for many years and I heartily recommend their expertise and outstanding customer service.
Siebert & Reynolds entire team has been partners to the success of our small business. Straight forward, services are tailored to your specific needs as a business owner or personal needs. The team is fantastic to work with.
Have worked with Siebert and Assoc. for over a decade both professionally and personally. They are patient and such a pleasure to work with. Linda is the best!!!!
Been a client for awhile. The ability to upload tax documents to a secure file server saves time and fuel. Usually, unless there are questions, we don't hear when our taxes will be completed only that they are done. If there is going to be any delay, there is notification. As a regular customer, I expect it and don't mind it. However, when I send a question, a response back is prompt.
These folks are the best!! Excellent professional service with a family friendly atmosphere. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing tax services. They have been doing our business and personal taxes for over 20 years. Thanks to John and Hope and the rest of their great staff!!
We have had great experiences with this firm for the past 10 years. Their communication is the best I?ve seen, they?re prompt, courageous, and thorough!
Began new relationship with Siebert & Reynolds CPA?s after years of frustration with another local accounting firm. I found all members of the organization to be professional, friendly, and detailed oriented. Will happily continue my annual tax process with this organization!
I can't imagine practicing without the assistance of Siebert and Reynolds CPAs. I'm able to focus on being a doctor rather than trying to be an accountant! I had an initial hesitancy at hiring a firm that would "cost more" than what I was paying my first accountant. But it was quickly evident that they more than "paid for themselves" by maximizing my tax benefits and streamlining payroll, BWC, JFS, and other payments. Their veterinary-specific knowledge has been extremely helpful and fills me with confi
I have always had great service here. My taxes have always been filed in a timely manner. They are very professional and quickly respond to any questions I have had. I highly recommend Siebert & Reynolds CPAs.
When I started my small business 5 years ago Siebert & Reynolds is the 1st CPA I went to and they have not disappointed. They worked with me where I was at and helped me to grow my business. I highly recommend them.
We have worked withJohn Seibert since his first days of opening his practice. John is very honest, very customer service focused, and a pleasure to work with. A really good accounting practice.
Sibert & Reynolds CPA's has always went that extra mile to complete the Central Ohio Labor Council AFL-CIO tax filings and our records reviews in a timely manner, staff is always helpful in our needs. I have referred them to others unions needing records audited, records reviewed and tax filing needs and other services...
Their office has been very thorough with great communication, good at keeping me up on deadlines. Highly recommend
John Seibert charged $275. Did not ask one question about any deductions, I owed State and Federal, and now I am going to do an amended return with a competent CPA, The situation is the same this year and I am getting back $0000.00 and owe half of what I paid last year. I would go somewhere else. He also screwed up my e file and it was an easy fix if he would have been competent. Thank you JOHN. Mark
This is my second tax year working with them. My husband is self employed so our taxes can get very complicated. They have been very thorough, timely, and friendly. I would highly recommend them.
I have been using S & R for close to 10 years. I moved to Virginia 5 years ago and continue to use them from VA. There are awesome and professional. I will definitely recommend S & R to anyone. Thank you
Very knowledgeable and prompt. I've been a client for years and intend to remain a client for the indefinite future. I highly recommend Siebert & Assocs. CPAs
We have been with Siebert & Reynold since 2010 and wouldn"t thank about leaving them. They have done an outstanding job for us. They are better than 5.
John and the team are concerned about every detail. Very personable and return calls in a reasonable time frame. They charge a fair price for the services rendered. I highly recommend this team.
I've know John Siebert for 15+ years and I am completely confident in referring business clients to him, as he has an incredible working knowledge of the tax code and accounting matters.

EXPERIENCED, AKNOWLEDGEABLE, AND AT A GOOD PRICE.
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.
