Tamara and her team handled my personal and business taxes for 2023. There was nothing they did that I couldn?t have done myself, except they missed the deadline and had to file extensions?despite having all my documents well in advance. Now, in March 2025, I received a DocuSign request for my 2024 taxes, which I politely declined. Then, yesterday, I got an email stating they had filed an extension for my business without my consent. I reached out for clarification, but they have yet to respond. I understan
Tammy is professional, courteous, and responsive. I often refer her to my own clients. Most recently, she worked magic by responding to a need for an estate that was extremely time sensitive. Thank you Tammy!
My husband and I have used Tammy for years for our tax services with the highest level of satisfaction. She is accessible, courteous and patient. There have been some twists and turns in our tax filings over the years, and she has ALWAYS been able to walk us through. It's a pleasure to work with her, and, when tax time comes, we feel great relief that we have such a great professional to work with. Highly recommend.
I've known Tammy for many years and always known her to be thoughtful, diligent, and forthright. When she started her practice and I was in need of professional tax services I could trust, calling Tammy was a no brainer. I've been with her close to a decade and I've never been disappointed.
Rosalie and I have been using Tammy to do our Taxes for many years now. I cannot even remember All the times she has bailed us out on tax related Issues. Tammy has saved and Recovered thousands of dollars for us over the years. God Bless her, "We Pray and Hope Tammy Mihail lives longer than we do!"
If you need a CPA look no further Tammy is amazing. I have used Tammy for the past 3 years and I'm so thankful I found her. I used 2 others prior who messed up taxes. Tammy was able to fix it and get my information back in order. I always have tons and tons of questions that I annoy myself and Tammy is so good at answering all my questions and not getting annoyed or fustrated. Taxes can be so scary and she handles everything for me and I know I don't have to worry about anything.

Tammy is an AMAZING CPA! She is patient, kind and takes the time to provide explanations. We use her for our business and individual tax returns.
I first used T.Mihail, CPA when my husband died 2 years ago. I had never used a CPA firm to file my personal taxes. I was so lost and upset during that time. Tammy took care of filing my taxes with no money due the I.R.S. I was also happy to know that the taxes were done correctly. Doing them myself always ended up with a letter the next year from the I.R.S. with the mistakes I had made and what money I still owed. Her newletter has also been advising some worthwhile financial tips I need to check int

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.
