Knowledgeable, efficient, and professional tax professionals! They?re all the above and more. We?ve been using Traci Taubert for 4+ years. Wish we had started sooner.

I assist a disabled elderly gentleman who is the actual client of this CPA's office. Everyone, from the people who answer the phones to the actual CPA handling the taxes, they are absolutely amazing and top notch. Anytime I had questions they were easy to reach and reliable. Thank you Traci and Heather.

I am writing to share my deeply disappointing experience with Tracy Taubert and Phillips and Tauberts, CPA. I engaged their services for both business and personal taxes, as well as for my partner?s taxes, and the outcome has been nothing short of frustrating. From the beginning, the communication from this firm was poor. The tax advice provided by Tracy Taubert was unclear, and it seemed as though keeping us as clients and considering our best interests were not priorities for them. In 2023, we encountere
My former accountant took a life-changing job opportunity, and even though I had referrals, I opted for a local accountant and fast. I called Traci's number and Jennifer, her Admin, called me within days, walked me through Traci's process, answered my questions, and was even able to give me a quote based on some worst-case scenarios since she was doing both private and business taxes. Jennifer was warm and professional and was willing to answer all the questions I had through email and the phone. I provid

Traci Taubert prepared my wife's and my 2019 income taxes. She is great; knowledgeable, professional, helpful, available for misc questions and help, via email or phone.

This is the second year that Traci has done my taxes. I'm recenly widowed, 84 years old, and a completely ignorant computer person. Traci has been wonderful.

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.
