The Norris Group was recommended to us by a friend's financial advisor. Deon and his group handled all of the estate tax matters for my family after our father's passing. The personal and professional attention we received from Deon throughout the processing of the estate taxes was invaluable. Knowing that the taxes were in good hands gave us the time we needed to focus on more personal matters. The taxes were filed quickly and the probate case was closed in a timely manner.
I?ve been using this accounting firm for my personal and business tax preparation for several years now, and I couldn?t be happier with their service. The team is knowledgeable, prompt, and thorough?they always explain everything in detail and make sure I understand my options. They found deductions I didn?t even know existed, which saved me a significant amount on my taxes this year. Communication is always clear and professional, and I truly appreciate their attention to detail and commitment to data secu
I had a great experience with Norris Accounting Tax Services and would give them 5 stars. Once I signed up through their portal and made my payment, the process was smooth and efficient.

The staff was friendly and professional throughout, and I received my tax refund not long after completing everything. Overall, it was a great experience

Such an amazing experience. My spouse is active duty and we?re homeowners. After seeing another tax preparer the year prior that resulted in a stressful experience, we really wanted to see someone we knew we could trust.

Exceptional customer service! Can always reach a member of the team and trust that your needs will be met. Had a tricky business situation that I was in and needed a lot of assistance to rectify. I initially found Norris Accounting on Google and contacted him not knowing what to do. Deon didn?t even know me at the time but went above and beyond to help me by immediately connecting me with a great resource that has been a tremendous help to my business and so many other areas in my life. Deon also continued
Exceptional Team and Organization. Our company (Lodgepole Solutions), as well as my personal and family accounting needs, have been expertly managed by Norris Accounting for 3 years now - and each year is better than the last! Very professional and competent. Deon's knowledge and counsel has become a critical part of Lodgepole Solutions' success. It is great to see a fellow Army Veteran providing such a great service for the community. If you are not using Norris Accounting, you need to be!

I started a non accounting business this year as a CPA myself (who did not specialize in tax) and interviewed more than 4 CPAs to find a tax pro for my business. Of those 4 diff CPAs, Deon (owner of the firm) provided most thorough and detailed responses to my questions during the initial consultation and I decided to go with the firm. I have been very satisfied with the services I received so far.
We were referred to Norris Accounting & Tax Services CPA, LLC in late January 2024. We are pleased with Mr. Norris? professional service. Mr. Norris is knowledgeable, pleasant, informative, easy to talk with, and very patient with our questions. We felt comfortable, confident in the decisions we made based on Mr. Norris guidance.

Another great experience with Deon and his entire team. Very responsive and answered all my concerns. As always the team comes highly recommended. Looking forward to doing continuous business with you.

He is able to quickly respond to your questions or needs. He is very patient with me and explains things to me as many times as I need. It has truly been a pleasure working with him and Stacey.
I have been a client of Deon for two years, and I want to thank you for your prompt and thorough accounting services. Deon pays excellent attention to detail when working on taxes. Even though I was late filing my taxes last year, he was able to work on my paperwork accurately and swiftly and submitted it to IRS. I highly recommend using Norris Accounting & Tax Services CPA, LLC; you will not regret it.
Deon was referred to me by my book keeper. We have multiple LLC's and some unusual complicated tax situations that i needed someone who is responsive and willing to answer questions and figure it all out. So far so good, very happy with this service. I always get a very professional prompt response.
The Entire Staff were amazing. I needed help navigating all the tax laws with estate planning. Deon made everything easy to understand and follow. I will recommend the Norris team everyone
I had a complex 2022, tax filing that included Capital Gains. I initially had them done at another firm and when I reviewed them something did sit right with me. I contacted Norris Accounting & Tax Services, CPA, LLC and asked them to review. I am beyond please with the service I received. Norris Accounting saved me over $100,000 off my tax bill. I felt like I wasn?t another number that they had to tick off. I felt seen. They are very knowledgeable; and were always available, professional, and personable.
I swear on my little toe being cut off, this is a true occurrence and I did use their service- Run from this place they have senior accountants billing and then other senior accountants billing to check the first senior accountants work.
Truly a professional. We came to Deon late in the tax season with a complicated multi-state, multi-income personal and business tax filing need. He was prompt and responsive, communicated well, and made an extra effort to meet after normal hours. We're glad we found a veteran and small business owner like Mr. Norris to work with us. Highly recommended.
Deon Norris went over and above to help me with my taxes! This past year I?ve changed jobs several times, bought a home, and paid on student loans and was overwhelmed at the prospect of filing. I sent him my documents, he worked his magic, and after a thorough review he submitted everything. Deon was able to review my documents timely and submit my taxes early. Additionally, I had issues with my W-2 and he took time to review and correct this with me (and even followed up!). Now I?m not only getting money b
Deon is amazing! He has helped me a great deal these last few months with tax planning and determining how to best reduce my liabilities. I?m looking forward to him helping me with my business planning next.

If there is anyone looking for an amazing CPA, I highly recommend Norris Accounting Firm. Deon is the CEO and when I tell you that from the introduction he did everything that I asked to make me comfortable with him prior to sharing any of my info he did. I never hired one because I am so protective of my financial information so I required a lot of documentation and verification of his credentials. With my laser focus on my business goals and personal goals it was necessary for me to have someone in my p
Deon was great. He helped me with my business taxes. He listened, took his time and ensured I received great service.
Deon is an all around professional! If you're military, I highly recommend seeing him to assist with your taxes.. As a veteran himself, he has a better understanding of all the benefits and tax exemptions that service members are entitled that other CPAs don't bother to ask about. From buying service uniforms to using a VA loan for buying your first house, he makes sure to take everything into consideration to ensure your finances are squared away. Highly recommend!!!
Deon is a kind and talented accountant. He will keep your needs and interests first while providing sound advice. He is always responsive and will comfort any worries you might have about your financial future. I fully recommend him for any account needs you could have.

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.
