Zinman and Company have been my accounting firm for both business and personal tax needs for 6…read moreyears. I can say that they have absolutely been THE BEST firm with whom I have ever worked. Their knowledge of the Tax code and their consultation on my business tax needs has been without compare. I have had a lot of firms throughout my career, and they are simply the best!! One of the great things about this film is that I can get them on the phone every single time I need them without any waiting or delay. They are VERY responsive. They have saved me time, saved me money, and allowed me to sleep MUCH better at night. By the way, I am neither a relative or an associated business with their own. I am just a very happy and satisfied client who wants to share my good fortune of working with them!

Adam is a great accountant, and really reasonably priced. I've been working with him for three…read moreyears. The first year that he did my taxes I had an unusual income situation, and was impressed with the skill with which Adam researched and ultimately reported the income. Annually, my taxes are a bit complex because of a multi-state tax issue, and Adam handles it consistently well. I am also impressed with Adam's sense of ethical responsibility. I highly recommend Adam as an accountant.

AN ACCOUNTANT WITH NO APPARENT SENSE OF ACCOUNTABILITY!!!…read more I'm not into writing bad reviews but this guy has messed-up my taxes three of the past past five years, leaving me holding the bag with city fines and court fees and insisting on charging me for HIS mistakes. As for finding savings on the federal level, even the IRS has been friendlier to me-finding his mistakes and sending me additional refund money. He also discusses other clients' business with you while you're in his office.

I used Macalpine Carll's services for five years. I would not recommend anyone use them for tax…read moreprep. They failed to file my tax returns on time on several occasions, and ended up costing me thousands of dollars in penalties. In the most recent incident, after failing to file my business taxes, the accountant simply would not set aside two hours to finish my returns. I ended up calling him several times a week for months-28 calls in total. By the time he actually did the returns, I had thousands of dollars in penalties. To top it all off, today, I learned from the IRS that Macalpine never filed my 2020 personal taxes.

He also helped me get ready for 2018 with the new law changes in Washington. I am happy to use him again and I am not sure why the first reviewer offered such a negative response to MacAlpine Carll & Co, but I believe it to be fake news.

Recently changed to State Farm and Steve Morrow as my agent. I have never in the past 50 years…read moredealt with an agent as professional and knowledgeable as Mr. Morrow. He explained every detail on my current home and auto insurance and a comparable State Farm plan. The detail he went into and his easy to understand explanations made the choice to switch to an agent who obviously has my interests at heart. A true bonus was the significant savings we incurred by switching. This agent is highly recommended and I do not do that often.

We have had nothing but a positive experience with this office, and State Farm in general. My husband and I have had questions about adding different things to our policies, and we've been happy with how helpful and knowledgeable everyone is who we encounter. We've worked with them both over the phone and in person at their office. Their office is very open, organized and inviting. We highly recommend the Steve Morrow office for all your insurance needs.

I felt the industry was made…read moreto help only those who could afford it, but I came across River giving a talk in a conference and was immediately blown away by their approach to having a financially stable life. From the moment we connected for a consultation, I knew I'd been lucky to found them. My wife and I worked with them for about 6 months and their warm, non-judgemental, and knowledgeable approach to our journey was a game changer for our financial literacy. Additionally, their embrace of our personal stories and intersecting identities made us feel like we were truly taken care of. If you're looking to learn more about your finances, and hope for a future with personal financial autonomy while helping dismantle systems of oppression, I'd say look no further than River.

I've worked with Mike since 2019 as I have looked at several businesses to purchase. He came highly…read morerecommended to me by my attorney and was described as a straight shooter and very intelligent. I later came to find out that he tutored U.S. military academy students in business law, finance, economics and accounting. For this, he had to pass a rigorous global background check. With his mergers and acquisition, business brokerage, corporate finance and forecasting skills honed over 27 years in the corporate world, Mike advised me not to buy company F. A Few years later, I had a letter intent to buy company S. I brought in Mike to give me an opinion on the value of the company as well as to go on site for a week and look at the company's books and records. Mike blessed the purchase but did warn me that, due to the seasonal nature of the business, there were certain things I should prepare for. Lo and behold, many of these things came to fruition. However, I was able to navigate them since I had the crystal ball and road map that Mike provided. In conclusion, over the last 5 years, I would describe Mike as highly ethical and someone who overdelivers. One of his strengths is making the simple complex. I recommend Goriano Experts & Advisors without hesitation.

This is not a legitimate business. This review is being written one month after have interacted…read morewith this individual. I hired the sole proprietor/employee of this "company ", Mike Bankus to do my daughter's taxes for 2023. He said that he had no office, and claimed he was unable to find one for us to use but didn't want us to travel to him or know where he lived for "security reasons " so he asked if he could come to our home. I didn't think much of it at the time. He seemed pleasant enough however the tax forms had not been prepared ahead of time as we discussed several times over the phone. It took him hours to do the work that he had stated would take "15 minutes ". He left thing's unfinished and came back to the house a second time to complete the work that he was hired to do. Upon completion he asked for payment upfront and I paid what he asked for, $175.00. I thanked him and he left. Now, one month later he sends my daughter and I a "revised invoice " demanding an additional payment of $220.00 for trumped up , bullshit fees . Fees for services already paid for !! This all seems very shady, underhanded and certainly not trustworthy. I would recommend that anyone and everyone stay far away from Mike Bankus and this shell LLC that he has set up. If this goes any farther in it's degeneracy I'll update this Yelp post and make others on as many platforms as I possibly can to warn good citizens away from being scammed.

Worst customer service imaginable. Ignoring your clients is the lowest level of service a business…read morecan provide. They don't return phone calls or emails (I'm talking in July- not in April. That would at least be understandable.) When trusting someone with your finances, we expect someone who cares....which is why we chose a smaller Manayunk firm instead of one of the big Philly firms. Somehow, there seems to be no regard for customer care or personalized service...or any service for that matter. Since it seems clear the JEM&Assoc and our "accountant" Brian seem not to value our business in the slightest, we will be taking our business elsewhere. I don't have time to chase people who I am paying to do a service for myself and my family. If you need further clarification of the situation, it's been almost a month since my first email, a week since my follow up email asking if he had an alternative preferred method of communication, and three days since I called his office and left a message. We had to file an extension, so we are-in fact-working under a deadline. This isn't the first time we've been disappointed with their professionalism...but it will be the last.
