I worked with Turner & Costa, P.C. this year for the 1st time! My background in yearly taxes and money management is juvenile to put it mildly. Lisa was so understanding and helped me every step of the way. Her professionalism and patience was top notch! Thank you Kathleen A

I got on to Turner & Costa, as Lisa Babineau merged her CPA practice with them. Since then, Turner & Costa have been great. They are responsive, timely & have been a great CPA firm for my multiple needs (for both small company LLC & personal tax preparation). I would highly recommend them.

We have a small business (6-8 employees). Turner and Costa helped us initially, but seems to have had some serious issues lately. Issues stem from inconsistent communication. Unrealistic timelines for turning around taxes (fine if you're busy and going to be late, just be honest!) Taxes were filed a full 8 weeks after they had said they would be able to file them). They wouldn't waive late filing fees. No response to multiple requests to help switching to S-Corp (even though Turner & Costa would be able to

They have been doing my family?s taxes for years and this yesterday was my first time doing taxes and they were absolutely amazing.

I cannot speak highly enough about Lisa Babineau at Turner & Costa. I was of the mindset that I would never ?pay someone? to do my taxes (aside from Turbo Tax) until I began working with Lisa three years ago. Now I will only trust her to be our tax preparer! She is professional, knowledgeable, and from my first interaction with her I could tell she genuinely cared and listened. She has excellent turn around time and working with her has made me more mindful and invested in the overall financial health of my

This year was my second time to work with Turner & Costa PC and I have been really impressed with their work. They've been very responsive with all communications and the work is pro. I highly recommend them. I lived in Los Angeles for 30 years and worked with some very high end accountants. Turner & Costa out performed all of them for much less cost.

100% recommend. Working with Abby has put my mind at ease for getting my taxes done and I will definitely be returning next year. I never had to worry about doing my taxes before as my girlfriend always used to do them. Then in 2022 she and I were no longer dating. After much heartache and soul-searching I managed to move on and decided to marry my long time best friend and purchase a home. When it comes to taxes though I'm completely lost but I do know that being married, having a mortgage and new variou

They go above and beyond on service and communication every time. I recommend their services unreservedly and to everyone. Thanks Bob, Greg, and everyone else! You're the best.

Greg Costa has provided tax prep for my LLC for the last several years. He is always prompt, responsive, and goes out of his way to take care of his clients. This morning, I had a mortgage loan application ?emergency? and needed documentation quickly. Greg answered my email within minutes, had me send the information he needed, and returned the documents the same day. I am grateful to Greg for his fast assistance and highly recommend his abilities and services.

prices are too high for those clients who do most of the organization, accounting, and receipt summaries themselves.

Turner and Costa have been preparing our taxes for years now. They are professional, responsive, incredibly knowledgeable and very welcoming. We wouldn't look anywhere else!

I would never trust these people with my taxes again. My husband and I had such a terrible experience with them. Our taxes were quite simple, yet when we asked a few questions and asked for guidance in one particular area we were given hardly any information and completely brushed off. It seemed like they didn't want to be bothered and it didn't matter that we were already paying clients, they never responded with adequate answers. We ended up having to pay additional fees and a penalty to the IRS all becau

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications should I look for in a CPA?

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.

How do I find a CPA in my area?

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.

What’s the difference between a CPA and an accountant?

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.

How do I know if a CPA specializes in my needs?

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.

Should I check a CPA’s reviews before hiring?

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.

How can I verify a CPA’s license?

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.

What questions should I ask during a CPA consultation?

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.

How much should I expect to pay for a CPA’s services?

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.

Can I work with a CPA remotely?

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.

How do I assess a CPA’s communication skills?

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.

What red flags should I watch for when screening a CPA?

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.

Should I choose a CPA from a large firm or a solo practitioner?

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.

How often should I meet with my CPA?

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.

Can a CPA help with both personal and business finances?

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.

What should I do if I’m not satisfied with my CPA?

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.
