iPro Bookkeeping…read more Short version: Glenn is incredibly talented at what he does and turned a potentially boring/mundane project (bookkeeping) into a good experience! Details: I've discovered the hard way that learning and retaining skills on how-to-use Quickbooks is NOT like riding a bike. I dislike bookkeeping and so I put it off until my CPA yells at me and tells me to send him all my "stuff". So, about once every 6 - 12 months I have to dust-off Quickbooks on my computer and re-learn importing data from my bank, reviewing transactions, and reconciling accounts... and each time it's like learning to ride a bike all over again... blindfolded... with two broken legs. UGH! Thank GOODNESS I found Glenn and iPro Bookkeeping! I actually really enjoy watching people do work in areas in which they are very skilled, and Glenn proved to be a fantastic opportunity! I had the choice to either bring-in / send my files or have him screenshare with me remote to my desktop. I chose the latter and it worked perfectly! Glenn patiently walked me through what I needed to do. Helped me navigate the beast called QuickBooks, import my data, and reconcile everything! What took him a few hours would have taken me 12 (plus an aneurism). I actually look forward to working to doing my bookkeeping with Glenn in the future and would highly recommend him and his services. Rob Ludlow Owner www.BackYardChickens.com

Bryce is the most dishonorable accountant I have ever worked with in my 33 years as a business…read moreowner and that is no exaggeration... There are numerous things I could say about our terrible experience working with him but the main point I will talk about is that he did not file our extension on time which COST US $2000 IN PENALTIES WITH THE IRS! Even once this happened, I didn't fire him but rather I reached out to him and asked if he could help us write a letter asking the IRS for forgiveness. THIS IS WHAT HE REPLIED TO ME: "I'm sorry you feel dissatisfied. I don't believe I can meet your needs going forward." MY REPLY TO HIM: "Mr Forney, I'm simply asking for your assistance in writing a letter. I'm preparing to file a form 843 and would like a letter from you stating the issue at hand when you attempted to file our extension. Are you able to provide me with this?" AND HE JUST IGNORED ME AND NEVER REPLIED TO MY EMAIL. WOW WOW WOW... IM APPALLED AT HOW QUICK HE WAS ABLE TO TURN A BLIND EYE TO OUR CASE (being that he put us in this mess in the first place) Bryce is irresponsible and careless. All his "diplomas" he is trying to show off in his yelp profile picture, failed to teach him ethics and morals.

Once I was married & we had complicated things to add, we made sure to go to Viet. I used to get to make an appointment with him in person & he answered any & all of my questions, before I filed. But sadly COVID hit & things changed to online. My husband & I have changed careers several times since 2022, & we had a baby, so there are several things to add into your taxes. This year, we spent over $15k in medical expenses, had our first child, & hoped we would get some kind of a tax refund. But unfortunately that didn't happen. When I asked about adding money to our IRAs, or why we didn't get to file itemized, or how else we can reduce our tax bracket, we were told it was a "paid question that required a paid appointment". Anyway, I think you can get your own taxes done for free or less than you're charged by this guy. He can't help you with basic questions without requiring money so... stay aware & ask questions!
