Do not ever use Michael Greg. I had an appointment april 12,only to be told to just leave my…read morepaperwork. April 15 I waited for almost 2 hrs to be certain that an extension was filled. He did but didn't provide me with my estimated taxes. He said he would get back to me..after a week of waiting and not having my many calls answered. I made an appointment in Haverhill. They had it done that evening! 100 for the extension, close to 600 to file. 927 dollars in penalties due to his incompetence. Never use him!

Absolutely, DO NOT use H&R Block in Amesbury. I don't recall having a worse service experience…read morewith any business in the past. If I could give negative stars I would. I got charged way more than was appropriate for the service I rec'd. And my tax pro Mike A) couldn't do the job himself and B) NEVER initiated a call. I dropped my stuff off on April 8th and got it back in early June. This was a very basic filing. Every call was met with "oh, I was just finishing up xyz for you..." It was an absolute joke. The manager of that HR Block runs many of them throughout the Newburyport area up to Portsmouth. I would recommend NEVER using any of these if you want decent service. I was promised a credit over a month ago. No one ever followed up...and when I just called, I got "i'll call now and follow up on the credit". Absolute Joke of service.

Do not go here! Pam Howard met with me Feb 12 to review my…read moretax documents. Then advised she would complete and I could pick them up at April 2nd appt at 3pm. On April 2, we walked in and the secretary told us she was not there. She was at a smoke break. She advised that we should drop our documents off. I reminded the secretary that we already met in February and we were there to pick up the finalized documents. She had them in the front drawer and handed them to me. Nothing was done on them. She had no explanation. Just then another couple entered the office and also said they had a 3 PM appointment. It was the same story for them. They had provided the documents online a month ago. The woman told her to drop them off today. They said they already had done that. She was not there for the 3 o'clock appointment out for a smoke break. No one was in the office but the secretary. It's April 2 only two weeks left before the deadline for taxes. I will be contacting executive management of H&R Block as they should pay for my taxes this year. This caused undo stress. I've spent all of the time preparing and meeting with them already to have nothing to show for it.

Nakata Consulting is an essential piece of my business life!!…read more But for the rest of this review let's just be on a first name basis and talk about Joe. I would have probably given up the whole self employed business long ago if not for Joe. I found Joe through some other colleagues in the Boston photography network years ago. I'll admit I was more than clueless about how to keep my bookkeeping organized and he took me under his wing, took the chaos and made sense of it all. Now I do most of the bookkeeping on my own and he gives it a look once a month to make sure I'm on track. In a "teach a man to fish...." sort of a way. Monthly, quarterly and annual taxes are a breeze now and I can confidently make business purchases and know the overall health of the business. If you're a small business (he has a keen knowledge of the photography business - take a look at his client list!! http://www.nakataconsulting.org/links.php ), but also for restaurants, etc... He'll do your sales taxes, bookkeeping, consulting and all at reasonable rates. I've referred him to friends (non-business owners) as well and he'll definitely take care of you. So walk right past H&R Block and call Joe!

Joe is not only a wonderful and kind person but is amazing at what he does! Whether you need…read moresomeone just for tax time or a year round consultant, he can do it all. He is quick, efficient, and has tremendous communication. A must hire!

This one is serious…read more Had a contractor go bankrupt on us several years ago resulting in a loss. Wasn't sure my current accountant would be up to the task of a complicated business loss filling, so I inquired here (can't remember exactly why). This accountant advised in a somewhat flippant and condescending manner that such a loss was not deductable. Having done a whole 45 seconds of online research on the topic I was fairly certain she was wrong but debating the issue was a non-starter. Which led me back to my original accountant. Who confirmed that yes indeed, this was a deductable loss. Boy did I feel guilty for going somewhere else first. Oh, and the deduction saved us 12k. 12k! I still can't believe this actually happened.
