Daveed and his team at Anvil Tax have been helping my company with taxes since 2015. As a small…read morebusiness owner with a rapidly growing company, I was unsure of how to handle the different taxes for operating in multiple states. Daveed's team helps me monitor my finances monthly, and their expertise has been invaluable. Daveed is extremely knowledgeable and helpful in many areas of my business, including succession planning strategies. When I first came to him, I had numerous letters from the state and IRS that I didn't know how to handle. I was unsure, confused, and completely out of my element. Dealing with taxes and finances was nerve-wracking, but now, I am confident in my finances and the direction we are headed after our monthly meetings. Since Daveed is an ex-IRS auditor, he knows exactly how to protect your business in an honest and professional way. If you want your taxes done right by someone who is very informed and knowledgeable, this is your team. It's easy as a small business owner to avoid and overlook tax letters, but although Daveed and his team are extremely helpful and give you the advice to follow, it is your duty as the business owner to handle your responsibilities. Anyone who has left a poor review for Daveed likely did not follow the advice given, because my business has grown and become more protected over the years by following their advice. There are so many moving pieces when it comes to running a business, and having Daveed and his team deeply involved in my financial decisions brings me peace of mind. I am so grateful for their team and wouldn't take my business anywhere else. They assist me with taxes, bookkeeping, and financial analysis and planning. If you're looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable finance team, I highly recommend Anvil Tax!

This doesn't surprise me as this is the type of communication you can expect from them. They didn't even know I moved, so, it was mailed on Nov. 4th, but, I just received the letter November 16th. I still never received answers since last year that are very important to my business, like, about obtaining a VAT ID. Last year was a nightmare for everyone and I excused a LOT of problems but, this is ridiculous.

I was beyond disappointed with the unprofessional and unhelpful service I received with Vivian…read moreCooper at H&R Block. I used H&R block to file my return in 2025 primarily because I needed to file estate taxes in addition to personal taxes. The tax professional I worked with in 2025 was helpful, communicative and up front about the cost of her services. This year, I chose to work with H&R block again and was unable to work with the professional I had previously used, my experience was the opposite. Firstly, Vivian was not prepared to meet with me and seemed unaware of my scheduled appointment. During our appointment she was dismissive and didn't even try to gather information about my filing situation as an estate representative, she told me "we don't have time to hear about that". She also repeatedly assumed I was filing the estate taxes as income though this is not correct and did not listen to my explanation, repeatedly talking over me. She told me to make another appointment for my estate return, even though I had been upfront in booking my appointment that this is why I was coming in. I receive some income through 1099 contract work, Vivian incorrectly assumed this was a self employment situation and encouraged me to record business expenses that I told her I did not incur and do not keep receipts for, even encouraging me to record "office supply" expenses when I told her I never purchase supplies for my contact work. Additionally, there was a profound lack of awareness, empathy and professionalism around discussing estate taxes. Vivian repeatedly discussed her personal finances and asked me if I thought she should be a representative for her friend's estate and discussed how much money she could make off this arrangement. I found this incredibly unprofessional and inappropriate. Vivian was not transparent about costs & did not discuss them upfront with me. Despite having a straightforward personal filing situation with the same forms and income I received last year, she invoiced me for almost double what I paid at the same location. At the front desk, I was told they could not explain the reasons for the invoice increase to me. I expressed my concerns to H&R block but when I asked for a contact to share my concerns in writing I was hung up on. I would never recommend Vivian to a friend and am reluctant to work with any H&R block again, they have lost my trust as a customer.

Tracy Fisher is an incompetent CPA who didn't prepare our taxes correctly, which created a…read morenightmare for us with the IRS. He prepared our 2016 taxes. He was slow to respond to our emails and never fully addressed our questions. Although we gave him tax documents as soon as we had them, he dragged out the completion of our taxes until they were almost late. Our experience as clients was enough to discourage us from hiring Tracy Fisher again. Then, in fall of 2018 the IRS notified us that we still owed more taxes from 2016. I emailed Tracy regarding the IRS notice and he informed us that if we were still working with him, he would look into it for no charge, but since we weren't, he suggested we have someone else remedy the situation. He was not willing to stand by his work. We had our current CPA handle the matter. They discovered that Tracy had neglected to submit a couple of forms making it look like we owed more tax. Our current CPA eventually corrected the situation with the IRS, but charged us for doing so. I emailed Tracy that he had made glaring mistakes on our taxes and that I felt it would be appropriate for him to reimburse us for our out of pocket expenses to have his errors corrected. Tracy didn't bother to respond.
