My tax prep contact officially retired and closed shop after 30 plus years of service. I had to…read moreleave town unexpectedly for several weeks. The tax prep person where I am currently located gave a projection of owing a ton of money to uncle sam. I decided to search on Yelp for someone more credible and found these awesome people/company to work with. Highlights are: 1. Very responsive, lightning fast reply's 2. Reachable via email, phone 3. Quick to review documents 4. Quick to set up a final appointment 5. All done virtually through a secure system that is user friendly 6. I did not pay as much as originally stated by the first person I reached out to 7. Outstanding zoom call that was quick and painless 5 out of 5 stars!

So this is the first year I owned a business (LLC) and was looking to get help and hopefully find…read morean accountant for the future. Now I'll be the first to say, I'm pretty lost with profit/losses and book keeping, as I said it's my first time. For the past 8 years I've just used TurboTax for personal, but as I said, first time with a business. Initially you talk with someone over a chat, they ask you questions and you answer them and send them forms. They said they could do my profit/losses for me for about $75 extra, I was fine with it, figured it was worth learning how to do it. Took about a month but finally had my appointment to talk over video (30min). They were 6min late and obviously very tired. I truly felt bad for Yuliya as she seemed so exhausted. We spent the first 18min looking at the Dept. of Washington tax site and she was showing me how to fix my prior quarterly tax filings because she felt I had labeled my business incorrectly. After I showed her what I was doing, she changed her mind and said "I think you're actually fine and doing it right". So that left us 6 minutes to rush through my tax return before her next appointment. In the end I spent $350 to save $3 (the difference in number between what I got in TurboTax vs. having it done by Nationwide). For me, if I would have learned something about better tax reporting for the LLC, it would have been worth it. But it just felt very rushed, very impersonal and honestly I'd rather just go back to doing it myself.

Hi, Shelly I'm really glad you responded, because this is a serious issue that needs to be…read moreaddressed properly. I want to start by saying I do not appreciate how this situation has been downplayed. When I came in to have my taxes prepared, the printed documents I was given showed my refund being routed to my old bank account--not the new business account I had clearly requested. I even called to confirm this discrepancy, and I was told everything had been updated correctly and that a new copy simply wasn't printed to "save paper." Despite that reassurance, I later found out through the IRS that the account information was entered incorrectly. Not only was the wrong account used, but the last two digits were also switched. This error caused significant delays and complications with Refund Advantage, and I had to spend additional time trying to resolve something that should have been handled correctly from the start. Because of this delay, I had to postpone a planned move for myself and my daughters, which resulted in me losing my deposit on a new place. This situation directly cost me money. What's even more concerning is how this was handled when I reached out. Instead of taking responsibility, I was blamed. There was no acknowledgment of the mistake, no apology, and no effort to make things right. That level of customer service is unacceptable--especially considering I paid $675 for a professional service that was not executed properly. I requested a partial refund as a fair resolution, given the financial impact and inconvenience caused. I was told, verbatim, to "forget about it," and that I would not be receiving anything back. At this point, I will be moving forward with filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and am prepared to provide all documentation, including the printed forms and communication records. I also mentioned pursuing legal action because this situation has not been handled appropriately at any level. I would still prefer to resolve this directly, but the lack of accountability and communication has made that difficult.

The IRS informed us she does not have a CPA license. After being audited I reached out to Jen and checked & balanced for help. They informed me they would take care of the IRS paperwork. After receiving multiple letters from the IRS I contacted checked & balanced 3 more times. In which they informed me they "forgot". They have completely stopped responding to emails and phone calls. After speaking with an auditor from the IRS I learned that Jen has been doing this for years. She makes up numbers, isn't licensed to practice, and ghosts clients as soon as they get audited. BEWARE that Jen and her company is fraudulent. Expect to owe the IRS if she files your taxes!

For a business that interviews and hires people for a living, they don't have their shit together. They offered me a position on the spot without checking references, which was a red flag. They also asked me if I was willing to do highly unorthodox things like do collections on clients and borderline unethical things like do legal work for clients. Turns out they do work for most clients declaring bankruptcy and expect their accountants to be collection agents.
