I rarely write reviews, but Edward E. Newman, CPA, LLC absolutely deserves the praise. From the…read moremoment I finally decided it was time to change accounting firms and met Ed, I knew this was the right move. I run a small business with a lot of moving parts, working in several states, and Ed and his team are key to keeping our finances clean, compliant, and on point. Their help with taxes, financial guidance, and payroll services, is second to none. Gone are the days of getting a call on April 14th saying we owe the IRS "XYZ." They explain things clearly, respond quickly to emails, and treat me as an asset to their business. The value is outstanding. If you need an accounting firm that combines expertise with genuine care, this is the real deal!

They were looking for a client of mine, who never has had my girl's cell phone or mine. Apparently this client defaulted on a student loan. I called and basically asked how the hell they got my cell phone number and of course they gave me some scripted bullshit about using skip tracing techniques, etc. I immediately reported them to the California Attorney General but I doubt that it will do any good. I encourage everyone who is called by these bottom feeders to tell them to remove your name and number from their files and tell them absolutely nothing. This company is a subsidiary of SallieMae and the idea that they call up anyone who MIGHT BE associated with their debtor is reprehensible and morally opprobrious.

Worst experience I've ever had with a tax preparer and I never even got the chance to become a…read moreclient. I did some online research and found mostly positive reviews for SJ Tax Services and "Matt" (whom I've never met) so I decided to reach out... Today is 4/26 and I've called almost every day since since 4/6 with a simple yes or no question and have yet to receive any sort of response. There are several administrative staff available to take messages and even a 3rd party answering service for when they are not, so I can't imagine my messages aren't getting through. Each time I call, I'm promised a prompt call back, or that an email will be sent with "high importance," or that my call will be elevated "to the highest level possible," or something like that, usually with some form of empty apology. Now, I certainly understand how busy this time of year is for tax professionals in the best of times and I'm sure the quarantine and the CARES Act has only served to increase their workload, but twenty days is quite a long period of time for a yes/no question. I'd also like to add the I've worked in sales in one form or another for almost 14 years and rarely speak negatively about a business for any reason. I understand what it's like to be on the other side and always strive to offer the benefit the doubt; with that said, if I ever let an inquiry go unanswered for twenty days I can't imagine a situation where I wouldn't be fired. Finally, I have never before felt the need to write an online review for any business, for any reason...I have also never before been so thoroughly disregarded by any business, in any situation.

I will go to H&R Block or Jackson Hewitt the next time. They would have been way cheaper and also…read moreprovide up front pricing when they see all of the documents that you submit. I still can't figure out why I was charged so much to file my taxes. It would have been nice if I would have been told what the charge would be and if I wanted to proceed with this company filing my taxes instead of invoicing me for the services first beforehand It was a simple tax return. I've learned my lesson and I will never do business without getting the price of the services upfront- if I would have been told what their fee was I would have went to another tax preparer. No more starting price agreements for me. Hopefully someone will have a better experience with this company than I did. I will never do business with this company again.

I would strongly encourage everyone not to use this service. This "preparer" set appointments and…read moremissed them. I was ok w that and tried to push through that since my health/family issues caused delays in the beginning while I was gathering documents. Ms. Edwards stated the deposit was to get started and the final payment was due when she was finished and ready to file the returns. That was a lie. She took the balance, and did not file the returns when she said. I texted her numerous times after paying her the balance to ask if she had what she needed. She ignored many of those communications. I also requested call backs, which she ignored. Then she set meetings which she skipped. I WILL BE SUING THIS COMPANY and complaint will be filed with IRS. I suggest that you all not use her. She only started trying to spring into action after I contacted my bank to have my money returned to my card.

I found one guy who I thought was good --- I knew of his family and respected them --- but it seemed like the more I asked questions about different tax scenarios, the more impatient and irritated he became. And I didn't call every blessed day, just about three times during each tax season. Kind of a last straw was his charging me $75 a question, in addition to a fairly high rate to process my fairly simple return (So simple he farmed it out to a temporary employee --- who made mistakes that cost me over $500). A friend recommended Malin & Masly and there's a 100% difference. Norm Kaznica there does my returns, and he is the only one who does them. He found lots of money that the other guy and his temp didn't, answered my questions courteously, and correctly did my return for a reasonable price. I very much recommend the M&M crew for tax returns and other financial planning.

I certainly would not do business with him.
