Bernard Shorle the owner and his airhead assistant really screwed me over regarding how they prepared and filed my 2023 tax return negligent and incompetent, lazy and unorganized. They filed my business taxes late in May of 2024 because the owne, B.J had health issues. They filed my business seperate from my personal 1040 return. I asked ahead what would be my tax liability. They told me $3,900.00 total for both after they filed. Well that wasn't the case. They submitted my return without me seeing the return and approving before they filed. So now I owe $19,000.00 on top of the $3,900.00. I was in a panic and sent emails, phone calls and messages. They refused to answer my calls, and emails. So I had to call the hair salon next door to find out that they were actually in the office. So I notified the airhead and the owner that I contacted the business next door and they said they can't stand them next door. A lot of clients call the hair salon because they are irresponsible and lazy. They had the nerve to tell me that I have issues because I left so many messages in a weeks time. Not everyone has an extra $20k sitting around. They negligected to file any extensions for personal or business. I owe an extra $3,000.00 because they didn't file an extension for being late. They told me they will not fix my returns and to go somewhere else because I busted them out calling next door. I wouldn't trust these people ever again. I have begged them that I don't have the money and I need my return amended. They will not answer my messages. Run away from these people! You have an imcometant idiot that screens calls and emails. No one is a priority but themselves. They were reported to the IRS. The IRS admitted they were definitely negligent. I'm so stressed out, I don't know where else to turn. I also asked for a refund because they didn't complete my tax returns the correct way. I was told no refund! Best of luck dealing with these incompetent idiots! Pretty fun how after people write bad reviews, suddenly a couple of 5 Star reviews show up afterwards. I' whomever posted 5 star reviews was a relative or a friend asked to post a positive review! Don't fall for it. Read the bad reviews how similar what everyone complained about read more

they are very reasonable! They sit and go through everything with you. Great to work with.

This firm neglected to file 1099's as we requested them to. They also neglected to tell us that they couldn't do 1099's as they didn't have the software to do so. I was stood up for my appointment that I had made 30 days prior - he had no record of the appointment. Upon arriving at the office for my cancelled appointment, I was informed that I'd have to find somewhere else to have my 1099's done and that I should email him to request a new appointment because he couldn't squeeze me in and had no record of the meeting. Upon emailing him he wasn't very polite or professional and I terminated the relationship. I would not recommend this firm to any small businesses looking for an accountant. read more
