We are delighted to share our exceptional experience with Teasley Ayer?s CPA firm. From the outset, their team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism. Mr. Teasley, Alex and Jess, who managed our account, were consistently accessible and responsive, addressing all our inquiries with patience and expertise. Their unwavering dedication and hard work exceeded our expectations. For anyone seeking a CPA firm that truly prioritizes client needs, we wholeheartedly recommend this outstanding team.
This business has helped me so much and they are very knowledgeable. They did not just file my taxes they taught me so much important information I did not know. Alex is so sweet and I am so excited to continue to work with her in the future.
Last year I contacted them on 1/2/24 to do my business taxes and I had to follow up close to a dozen times for them to move forward. Due to that we had to file an extension on literally the very last day. Closer to the 6 months extension expiration I had to keep following up again. They take on too many customers and then are unable to effectively help anyone. The amount of stress I had to endure with them was crazy. They never even offered me a discount on that account. This year I went back to them think
Been coming here for my business for many years. Office is excellent at their job and very welcoming. I would never go elsewhere
Tim was very knowledge and exceptionally patient with my filing process. He went above and beyond to ensure promptness and accuracy. I really enjoyed working with Teasley and Ayer?s, 10/10 recommend!
We were desperately searching for a CPA firm for a small business and happened to get paired up with Teasley and they took us on as a client (prob a lot closer to tax season than they would have preferred). They have been so much more for us than just a CPA. Michelle has been so helpful, working along side Tim, to get all our problems worked thru and is always super responsive and helpful. I can?t say enough great things about this firm.
Teasley- Ayers CPAs and their staff are professional, knowledgeable and most efficient. Tim recently helped me with a tax issue and I highly recommend this firm. They know what they are doing and do it with accuracy and dependability. I would recommend Tim and his folks to anyone needing help with taxes, etc. And they are very friendly people. Thanks Tim. James and Terry Tanner
I been working with Mr.Tim for 3 years on my personal and businesses taxes. They are the best team in town. Super professional you can call them anytime and they will get back to you. If you looking for a CPA please give them a call and hope they accept you as a client lol. They are busy. Amazing people to work with thank you Tim Jennifer and all ur staff
2019: Tim was great to work with. I had a very complicated tax season this year due to being W-2 and 1099. Tim was able to accomplish the task with no problem! I highly recommend their services. 2022: I have been going to Tim for all my Tax needs now for the past 3 or 4 years. Tim has always done excellent work and ensures that all documents and bases are covered. The Teasley Firm and Staff are very professional. I have also always appreciated the binder/booklet that my tax returns are given back to me in.
Rose was amazing. I called with a bunch of tax issues like not filing for a few years, along with buying and renting properties during my deployments. Rose walked me through everything, step by step, and was able to help get my stuff squared away. She does not come cheap, but her quality of work is supreme. I highly recommend to everyone that needs a great accountant. Rose and Tim will get the job done. THIS IS A SUPREME 5 TAX SERVICE.
Teasley Ayers is so much more than your average accounting firm. They continually go above and beyond for their clients! Tim Teasley is the best CPA I know. His knowledge, passion and commitment to his clients is incredible. I wouldn't trust my small business with anyone else!
I am so glad I chose Teasley Ayers CPAs to help me with my tax problem. I had the joy of getting to work with Tim. He helped me immediately with a tough situation, kept me up to date, and handled a problem we had been dealing with for months in only a matter of days, while saving us an incredible amount of money. They were both kind and considerate with my daughter too and made us feel respected, welcomed, and valued. Lastly, during our first meeting Tim quoted me with a price, and although he actually spen
This was the first time I hired someone to prepare my taxes for me. They did a great job. They worked with my schedule, which is great because I work very long days during the week, I am difficult to get up with. They were very kind, professional, and efficient. I would recommend them to others, and I plan to work with them more often in the future.
I just recently used Teasley Ayers for the first time, and can?t say enough great things about them. We worked with Rose, she was fantastic. She took the time to explained everything in detail to me. She was so kind, patient, and very thorough. Then i worked with Tim and this man has an neverending knowledgeable for taxes, he was so nice. I never felt like I was in a stuffy tax office with the (tax foreign language), they were so relatable and personalable. Highly recommend them to anyone
The Teasley and Ayers team is wonderful. They are professional and have helped us with our past few years of taxes. I am glad we found them and would recomme.d anyone to use them. Ms. Rose, Mr. TIM and Ms. Jess have been great.
Tim Teasley has been my CPA for 3 years now, and he and Sonya are both great. They are knowledgeable, professional, and very accommodating. When I was purchasing my new home, I had to call and get copies of my returns. They not only emailed them to me, but they set me up on their secure website so I could have digital access to them myself. When I got a letter from the IRS saying I need to file an amendment, I called Tim and he helped me do it right away. My returns are always done quickly and efficiently a
I was really stressed about taxes, like at my wits end! I needed help! Teasley Ayers CPAs have been the greatest. I am so glad I made my appointment. Easy to work with and knowledgeable about my tax needs. I have no problem recommending them to others. They are the best!
Today my husband and I went in for our first appointment. Tim and Rose where amazing! I have a hard time finding people I can work with because I need to know everything when it come to what's going on with our business and some people cant handle that. Sometimes I dont understand clearly when learning about things I'm not use to. They were really patient and that means the world to me. I am so much more at ease now knowing we are in good hands. Im very happy we found this place.
Very helpful, knowledgeable and trustworthy. The Teasleys were extremely kind and went above and beyond to assist me and my family with our tax needs. They made me feel very welcomed and like a valued client. I highly recommend their firm!
I recently received a frighting letter from the IRS. They were asking for a large amount of money from 2016 due to my pay pal sales which I had neglected to report to them. I started googling accountants in the Fayetteville area and Teasley Ayers caught my eye because of all the great reviews. I can now tell you from my experience with them, that they deserve every bit of their five star rating. When I called them, they got me in the same day. The entire staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I had to
Tim is awesome at preparing the tax return for our startup. He is very professional, efficient and patient. We enjoyed working with him and Sonya. Highly recommend!
Tim and his team have been an excellent source for financial advice and planning for personal and business affairs. In the years that I?ve shared with them I?ve experienced quality service even during the peak tax seasons!
Teasley Ayers CPAs did my return quick and easy. I?d recommend them to anyone. They were professional, helpful, and efficient.
Mr. Teasley and his team are great! They handle my taxes every year with ease and I can always count on Jessica she is so quick to help me when I run into any issues.
The entire staff at Teasley Ayers CPA's PLLC took the time to introduce themselves to my wife and I as we came in for the first time! Special thanks to Tim Teasley for taking the time to explain the ramifications of the new tax law, as it relates to our family's current financial situation. His patience and insistence that we fully understand each aspect was very reassuring. It was like having your favorite brother help you file your taxes...
I have been using this firm for several years now. They are trustworthy, kind and incredibly efficient. They work hard for each individual and organization to give them the best experience and financial benefit possible. They are timely yet proficient. I have never been disappointed. Highly recommend!!
Rose and Tim assisted me with a very complicated matter regarding a home my grandmother deeded to me and other family members. Even after finding out that I did not need to hire them, they continued to advise and help me make sense of the matter. I would refer them again and again. 5 star service for sure.
Mr. Teasley and his team are very friendly and help make understanding your tax situation easy. I appreciate his honesty and his team's work which is always done in a timely fashion.
Tim goes above and beyond. The entire team at Teasley is helpful and responsive with navigating all our tax questions. The efficiency and compassion is second to none.
The team is amazing. Very knowledgeable and willing to fix any issues you may have from previous or past taxes. They truly work their hardest to make sure the client is taken car of.
After receiving a notice from the NCDOR I decided bring it to Teasley Ayers. Not only did they complete the required paperwork in less than a day, they (Rose)also discovered that I was owed $1500 from a previous return. Wow! They will be my annual tax preparation office from now on.
I would definitely recommend.. I came in and the staff were very friendly and Alex and Tim were great. They gave great advice, heard my needs, and more importantly I left confident with the work they had done.
Unfortunately I was unable to schedule an appointment because they?re short staffed. While professional, the lady on the phone was unwilling to offer another recommendation which I feel is inappropriate for the top rated firm. I even inquired about a wait list! Even If you just want a consultation, don?t waste your time because unfortunately you won?t find one here. Very disappointed.
Wasn't able to use because they're price was so high... I needed to resubmit my NC taxes only. I made a small mistake that cost me $2.5k and just need to change my residence. I don't need anything else for NC to be included or changed. It's a super quick fix. They wouldn't budge from the over $300 they wanted to charge.
Working with both Tim and Sonya is a great experience. They are very helpful when I have questions, and everything they work on is done precisely with great detail. Highly recommend!
Absolutely great accountant both for personal and business. They work with you they treat you like people and they try to make sure you are as best taken care of as possible. I will never go anywhere else highly highly recommend to everyone!!!
I needed help to get taxes done for a newly created business and they not only gave me a great solution, but also set me straight on some unfavorable advice I had received elsewhere. I highly recommend using them.
Tim and Rose were great! Very professional and polite. They will be my go to for my taxes from now on!
Super friendly group; very patient with people who don't fully understand the ins & outs of taxes. I fully trust that Tim and Sonya are going to do the 'right' thing - every time.
Tim did an amazing job on my tax return with my disability severance. Took his time made sure everything was done correctly.
Amazing accountants and staff! Very informative, friendly, and thorough. Family oriented atmosphere. Highly recommend!
Handled my case quickly and with professionalism. They made easy work of what I thought was complicated and even saved me a decent amount of money. They know their stuff.
Highly recommended, very efficient and willing to help. Tim & Sonya were very helpful throughout the entire process and will work with them again in the future

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.
