Very good experience with this firm. I met with Troy O'Callaghan last year for a consultation. Cost was reasonable, half the cost of another local CPA I had called. Wanting advice about doing Roth Conversions prior to IRA RMD's, Troy made me aware of the option of increasing my charitable contribution to a donor advised fund - enough to provide an itemized deduction that allowed a larger Roth Conversion. The larger charitable contribution, which could be utilized over several years, enabled a tax deduct

These folks are simply the best and easiest to work with I've experienced. I've used them for two years now after trying several others and there is no comparison. The checklist they provide, and their online vault makes it very easy.

Troy and his firm are very responsive and knowledgeable. We had to find another CPA to replace our existing one and after some research, we couldn't be happier with our decision. He delivers as promise, answers email in a timely manner and makes time to talk to us to help us better understand our taxes. We really appreciate his firm working directly with our bookkeeper when preparing our taxes. This has helped free up time on our end researching. Thank you Troy!

We are so happy we found Troy! Our past experience with accountants had not been positive, requiring us to pay additional fines due to error on their part. Therefore we worried how to find the expertise we needed; and we really needed help. We have taken our taxes to Troy for the last 2 years and could not be more pleased.

Troy and his assistant Nicole are THE BOMB! Let me explain how Troy has helped me out. Troy worked with my bookkeeper after my bookkeeper pointed out to me what my original accountant from another company had missed or incorrectly filled in. Troy was able to accurately assess my taxes, and informed me that my previous accountant had actually underestimated my tax balance for 2018. As someone who prides themselves on doing things by the book, I have a very high amount of praise for Troy's office and ensurin

The best comment I can make is that I do not worry about my taxes being incorrect or subjecting me to IRS problems.

Troy and his team were very professional. As a new client they first walked us through the process. It was easy to follow. They followed up with a few questions and before you knew it our taxes were completed. I should add it was a very complex year for us in the tax area and they didn?t miss a beat. Our taxes were done very thoroughly the first time. It was so quick and easy. I guess I should add that we did the entire process remotely.

Troy prepared our tax return last year, 2018 and we were very satisfied. We had had a problem with our previous tax preparer for 2017 that involved a substantial IRS refund.

First time using Troy and his team for the preparation of our 2020 tax return and was very impressed. They reviewed the work and completed very timely. They took the time to review the work with me and answered all questions timely and completely.
Q-Principle, Inc. had been using a large and notable CPA firm in Dallas for the past 14 years for the annual tax activities and due to retirements and other factors in that firm we searched for a firm in the local area. Finding Troy O'Callaghan was very fortunate for us. Even with the scheduling and economic issues this year Troy and his staff were exceptional and highly professional. Troy and his staff also completed our personal tax returns with the same efficiency and professionalism.
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.
