Customer Reviews

What kind of bullshit service is this? I called just to get my own tax documents emailed to me ? literally a 10-second task ? and they said they?re gonna charge $25 just to send an email. This ain?t customer service ? this is straight-up scamming in broad daylight. Imagine paying someone $25 to press ?attach? and ?send? on Gmail. These people are taking advantage of folks who trusted them with sensitive info. That?s dirty as hell. If you value your money and respect, stay away from SMS Services. Never go

Manreet and his team are very great, first time filing here, it was such an easy and fast process, super knowledgeable company. Will be filing my taxes her moving forward. Awesome job SMS Services.

I called them can you send my last year Tax file PDF. then she asked me pay 25 $ for it when I?m refuse to pay because I?m filing every year tax with them and pay for it so why you guys charged me for a tax file PDF then she said we don?t care about that if you need PDF so give us best review and send us a screenshot then we think about it ,totally rude. please guys Nobody take a service from this kind of beggars. Thank you.

I called the office to file my tax last year for 2023 filing nd I have provided them all of required information but they told me that you?re in line to get filed your tax and they wasted my almost 8 months I never received call from them. They are such an unprofessional people if you will give them call. They will respond with same answer sir will give you, sir will give you call but there is no call from them if you can?t handle work why take so many people tax filling responsibilities. Hire more staff pl

Do not believe on this people?s. I need my PDF file via mail.they asking for 25$ for send email. Even i paid for this when i file my texes. I told them i need it. please send me via email. Now the lady said we don?t care about this. It?s 2025 not 2023 or 2024. We don?t care about it. You have to ask us that time. If you realt need it you have to pay for email. Doesn?t matter

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.
