Numbers Crunchers gets the job done. Nothing fancy, but why should it be?…read more Once upon a time I was able to navigate the tax form quagmire on my own until that first time I found myself keeping a dictionary nearby to look up a common English word in the hopes there was some obscure definition that when the word was used in that context, would unlock the madness. Who writes these forms anyway? Thanks Torquemada. A twisted version of your legacy lives on. Number Crunchers is a one-woman shop, or perhaps a one-family shop might be a more apropos description. Melody, the boss, does the tax returns, but is assisted by the accountants (who are likely CPAs by now) who also happen to be family, or soon-to-be-family. When you walk in, the first person you'll see might be her husband/office manager. Numbers Crunchers is thorough, delivers the work when promised, and because it's a small business, will only accept a certain number of clients in order to be certain to deliver the best service. Like most things in NC, Numbers Crunchers is higher in price than its counterparts from other states in my experience, but compared with other tax preparers in the area, Numbers Crunchers pricing is reasonable and there won't be any hidden charges for the basic tax returns.

Number Crunchers, specifically Melody, has been friendly, professional and available for both…read moreasking and answering any questions I have. I have used her services since 2013 and she has been nothing but helpful. My former accountant got me audited by the IRS in 2011 and 2013 due to silly mistakes. She fixed the errors.

Chris and Ken worked their magic and saved us tens of thousands of dollars! I couldn't believe it when I got a new bill from the IRS saying we only owed $403.

I would leave them zero stars if I could. ****************** I'm not sure I could have hired a more horrible Tax Accountant. Absolutely the worst experience in all my 37 years. 1. My wife and I hired them in January. We were incredibly responsive. All questions asked by them were responded to within 2 days. It is now APRIL 16th. My taxes STILL are not filed. 2. Today is April 16th. I received an invoice. I immediately responded with 'I received your invoice. I'll pay this the same day the taxes are filed.' This was the reply: "We are set up to file once payment is received. We have burned". Frustrated, and with my near-complete tax filing being held hostage, I paid the same day. I'm STILL WAITING FOR MY TAXES TO BE FILED. 3. I emailed Gary Gross on a few occasions. Often, my questions were ignored IF my email was even responded to at all. 4. This is during COVID 19 days. Virtual chatrooms are a must. When Gary was unable to figure out how to password protect the meeting room, we had an unsecured conversation on zoom. 5. Due to COVID19, Fed / State taxes have been postponed to July 15th. I made it very clear that I wanted these filed before April 15th since I was well aware that while there are no fees for filing past April 15th, States charge interest on any amounts owed past April 15th. It's insane to me that we started this process in February, and due to ... I don't know what, we are trying to wrap this up until April 16th. When I indicated that I'm not ok with paying the interest due to him being late, his response was "Well, it's not going to be a lot of money." 6. Starting April 11th, I began sending daily emails to Gary Gross wanting daily updates as I couldn't imagine how this was still ongoing since I gave him everything he needed to complete taxes in mid-March. Daily, he responded with "It'll be done today." It wasn't. And he never sent any sort of communications clarifying why or even letting me know. 7. Because of all this, I have little confidence that my taxes were done correctly. This has been regrettable. This is a company and staff I will avoid in the future. * As a note, my entire experience has been with Gary Gross. But almost all paperwork produced is signed Chris Cherico. It's my theory that most of my information was relayed through Gary to Chris.
