Sending a shout out to Tom Crews CPA, our amazing Sisters Helping Sisters accountants. Tom and Chrissy not only help us stay on top of all the non-profit guidelines and keeping our books in order, but they truly care about our success. Tom is always ready to answer my questions and offer advice. When we were chosen for a random audit, he stood right by my side and helped me calmly navigate through it.

Highly recommend! We have been using Tom Crews CPA for several years now personally and for our business. The staff is consistently professional and knowledgeable, and their customer service is always exceptional.
Tom Crews is professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and has been very personable with us. Not to mention patient with us as well. It was my first time working with Mr. Tom Crews and Associates. We have been very impressed. We will be long-term clients of Tom Crews, CPA.
I am writing this review because I have had many months to think about this and to deal with the cleanup of 9 months or so with my new team of accountants. I own a rather large business, 5 million average in revenue. I hired Tom and his staff early last year to help me get my books in an even tow because my prior accountant did a terrible job and did not facilitate my numbers correctly. So, I was told by Tom that they went in from 2017-present to clear up our books and to ensure that everything is reconcile
Tom did an excellent job. I went to Tom this year to have my taxes done. I have some new investments and properties, and I moved and blended a family, and there was just a lot of things I didn?t feel comfortable doing. I reviewed a few CPA?s online and chose Tom Crews do to reviews. I?m glad I did. Him and his wife are very friendly and accommodating. Tom took the time to explain things to me (I?m a bit obsessive so this can be a task), he walked me through my return, his files on my info were accurate. We

Don't hesitate to contact Tom and Chrissy immediately if you are in a situation where you know you need help and don't know who to call. Call Tom Crews CPA and Chrissy with Affor
Mr. Crews handled all of our Tax returns in a timely manner and was exceptional! He didn't give us the run around and went above and beyond our expectations. Not only did he do an amazing job he doesn't screw his clients over in how much he charges like most places. We highly recommend him! You won't be disappointed. Thank you Tom for all your help, -Shane & Cherryl
I wish I could convey through this review how much my husband I would highly recommend Tom Crews. Tom was fast, efficient, knowledgeable and took the time to explain to us exactly what was happening throughout the tax return process. He is fair, honest, and professional. We will be going to him for all of our accounting needs from now on.
Tom is great. Very knowledgeable and down to earth. He did my taxes this year and answered some important questions I had in a very timely and accurate manner. Definitely recommend him! - Christian Leonard
We love this accountant. Help helped me with the mess I had. I was 2 years behind filing my returns for my restaurant in Kemah Texas . He is very helpful ,efficient and explains things well. I will be back. 5 stars here!??????
Mr. Crews was so helpful last year, my mom was in the hospital, there was no way she was going to be out before her taxes were due, I called Mr. Crews office and the ladies there were very helpful, they took care of everything for my mom and I. Last year I lost my mom due to cancer and was again having to call upon Mr. Crews and his office for assistance this year with filing for my moms taxes for the last time. Mr. Crews was so amazing and helped with the simple things that I needed and had questions on. I
Tom was extremely helpful and accommodating! He even had toys for to help keep our two year old occupied. He is very knowledgeable and helped us get the most out of our return. We will definitely use him in the future and will highly recommend him to our friends and family!
Tom was extremely helpful with my first time doing taxes with my small business. He stayed well past closing time to make sure that my wife and I were taken care of fully. He walked through everything in the return. We will be coming back to Tom for all of my CPA needs.
Been with Tom for 4 years now. He and his staff have been very helpful with getting our books in line and clearing up past tax issues! I own 5 corporations and Tom has no problem dealing with multiple company's!
Not your ?typical review? but the guy is awesome! From an employee with a w2 with student loan debt/interest etc. from 18-23 years old, then self employed until now; (with just google tax sites as a guide) it?s always been worth every penny. Couldn?t have asked for someone more helpful, patient or better starting up my business. A very successful close friend recommended him to me and I?ve used him ever since. Taxes, a huge part of life Life, would?ve been a lot easier had I met him earlier. most informativ
I highly recommend this business. Their customer service is completely outstanding. Mr. & Mrs. Crews have always gone above and beyond to take care of our needs. Their staff is also friendly and helpful.
I walked in with some questions and Mr. Crews never hesitated to sit me down and help me with what I needed right away! Super nice person as I?ve never met him before but he treated me like I?ve been a regular client of his for years. Will definitely be using him for all my CPA/Bookkeeping needs and would recommend him to anyone in need.
Tom and Chrissy were so kind and great to work with. I had my two young kids with me and they greeted us with the biggest smiles and a search and find book for the kids while we talked... I really appreciate the extra effort!
After having our taxes done the IRS sent us a note for mistakes made on the return. When we tried to resolve the matter Tom covered the penalty but had his secretary deliver the message that he no longer wanted our business. Disappointed in this local business. I would not recommend using them.
I enjoy every interaction that I have with Tom and Chrissy Crews. Great business team, any questions I may have, they have a good response/answer for me. I have them take care of both my personal and business expenses and I have all confidence in what they do for me now and into the future.
Really enjoy working with Tom and have no hesitation in recommending him Easy to communicate with and responsive to all my questions. This is my 2nd year and I will continue to use his services.
Tom Crews is honest and dependable, and goes beyond what I expected in a CPA. He was helpful and efficient during the tax season, and I would recommend him for any tax or bookkeeping needs.
Highly recommend Tom and Chrissy Crews!! The entire office has been extremely patient, helpful and kind. They go above and beyond and I trust them completely. Can?t say enough good things about them.
I?m sure they know their stuff, but $375 to file a simple W-2 and a 3-4 1099s? Lol no, H&R Block and even a bunch of other individual CPAs will do that for less than half that price. Mostly leaving this to save people the phone call. If you own a business/home/have other complex tax situations, this place will probably do well for your needs. Regular Joe individual? Keep looking.
Great experience! I wish I could give more than 5 stars. This is the only place I will use from now on. Tom is very helpful, thorough and will explain any questions you have in a helpful manner. Will definitely be coming back here!
Tom is very professional but yet gives that personal touch. He helped me with my serious tax problems. Truly great experience.
I definitely recommend Tom for your CPA needs. His professionalism, patience, and kindness was matched by everyone in the office.
What an amazing company . They are big enough to get any tax service done and definitely small enough to listen to their customers needs. They helped out and listened when it mattered the most. All I can say is thank you !
We had our taxes done here and we highly recommend Mr. Crews and staff. We are pleased and first time in many years we got all of this done before April 15th! 100% AWESOME
I thought Turbo Tax was easy, but Tom made filing my taxes easier than that. Very thorough but quick and painless. Highly recommended.
Mr. Crews did an awesome job for me on my tax returns and only charged about half what another tax professional quoted me and he did it all pretty quickly. If I could give more stars I would.
It was a pleasure to work with Tom. He was helpful and answered my questions easily. I look forward to working with him again in the future.
Had some major issues with my last cpa. Contacted Tom Crews he got my tax issues taken care of fast and professionally.I highly recommend Tom and his agency
We, would highly recommend Tom and Chrissy Crews, they have been extremely helpful, friendly and understanding with our business and personal needs, going above and beyond.

I do not recommend this firm!
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.
