I've been coming to R Moore Ea & Associates for over 10 years, and the only reason I've stayed is…read morebecause of my amazing accountant, Amy Sanchez. Amy is the definition of professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. She always returns calls in a timely manner, which is HUGE for me. I've dealt with other businesses where I've had to wait days, even weeks, just to get a simple question answered. That has never been the case with Amy. She's consistently on top of everything and makes the entire tax process smooth and stress-free. She's also very reasonably priced and truly has her clients' best interests at heart. I really appreciate that she encourages proactive planning and self-contributions to stay ahead of what's owed to Uncle Sam. It shows she's thinking long-term for her clients, not just about filing and moving on. It would be remiss of me not to mention Lisa at the front desk. In the past, there were front desk staff who didn't seem very happy to be there, which made for an uncomfortable first impression. Lisa is the complete opposite. She's always smiling, remembers names, and is genuinely courteous and helpful every single time. As long as Amy is here, I'll continue to be a loyal client. And if she ever moves, I'll absolutely follow her!

I left a one-star review because I couldn't leave a review any lower. Bill and his team and this…read moremost unprofessional, and incompetent people that I have ever had to work with. We had hired a different tax prep company, but in January 2019 we got a notice from them that they had outsourced a bunch of clients to Bill's company. By then I was wrapped up in a major project for a client, so I went with the recommendation. Let's start with our corporate taxes. I had our corporate taxes ready to go on January 23rd, 2019 and I added Sean from Bill's office to our QuickBooks account. I asked for status updates every couple of weeks and never got back a single email. Sean also never accepted the request from QuickBooks to be added to it, so I could see that nothing was being done. The first time I actually heard from Sean is after I called the company that I hired to find out what was going on, this was on April 8th. I heard from Sean twice that day and nothing else. We had several payments that clients had made for work that hadn't been started yet, so we needed to make sure that income was deferred corrected into 2019. I sent that information to Bill multiple times and he never seemed to understand what he needed to do with this information. Our business taxes were eventually done on April 14th after many phone calls and emails to get status updates. I had to assume they were done correctly, as there was no time to double check the work. On our personal taxes; our information was gathered up and sent over on March 8th, 2019. As we had 73 files which had a total size of 36 Megs, I couldn't email the data over, so I uploaded the information to One Drive and had One Drive create a link for the folder, which I sent over to Sean (from Bill's team). Again, I heard nothing when I asked for status updates. When we finally got an email from Bill about what was going on (this was April 8th) the email made it seem like it was doing up a favor by doing our taxes (and that he wouldn't be doing them until April 13th when he was done with his clients that came to his office). We had sent in all the relevant information months before, but his apparent lack of time management meant that our taxes never got done. Bill never figured out how to click on the link that I put in the email to the tax information. At least I must assume that was the problem, as Bill never bothered to tell me why we couldn't download the files that I uploaded for him. On April 12th he told me that I needed to upload the files to his file transfer app. I was using a restaurants Wi-Fi (as I had work to do that day since I wasn't planning on spending the entire day dealing with my taxes) and I kept getting errors from the website that Bill had sent over. The tax firm that I hired in the first place ended up downloaded the files from One Drive and uploaded them via Bill's site since Bill could download the files himself. The week leading up to Tax Day, Bill kept trying to talk us into filing an extension, because I assume he didn't want to do our taxes before April 15th. We kept telling him that an extension wasn't an acceptable option because we had no idea what the estimates where going to be because of all the changes with the tax laws. Like our business taxes, our personal taxes were done on April 14th. I again had to assume they were done correctly, as I didn't have time to sit down and review everything. Having someone do your taxes is supposed to take the stress away from you when it comes to this process. Bill completely failed at this. My stress level went up dramatically, and I have zero confidence that my taxes were done correctly. I would have had less stress if I had simply done them myself, but I didn't have the time which is why I hired someone to do them for me. I'm at the point where I'm going to pay someone else to do them again and file an addendum if/when the taxes that Bill and his team did are wrong. If I had the time, I would have sat in Bill's office and supervised him doing my taxes, but I thought I had a professional doing my taxes; I was wrong. Needless to say, I will never have Bill or Sean ever work on my taxes again; and I'll never hire them to handle any aspect of anything ever again. I've never worked with anyone with such poor time management skills, such poor communications skills, or such an inability to use basic computer skills such as sending an email (emails have subject lines for a reason, any email thread that Bill started has a blank subject line, so I have no idea what emails and responses are to what). I wouldn't trust Bill or Sean with counting the change in a piggy bank much less our taxes which come with legal risk associated with them if they are wrong. If I had known there was an issue in March, I would have simply found another person to handle our taxes. But because I let things go until it was too late, I had no choice but to pay to have work done, which I need to pay to have redone.

Dropped off all paperwork including a copy of my 2021 returns to make it easier for them and had an appt with Eric ton February 21. Cheryl greeted me and told me that she'd be doing my taxes( not who my appt was with but already made the trip so went with it). Went over everything paperwork wise, set me and my husband up in their system as new clients and not only did Cheryl ask the same questions multiple times, she spent more time/interest in showing me her girlfriends plant website and pics vs me as a new client. Asked what they'd charge and shared what we had previously paid - she said she'd have to ask Eric - he said $325. I was promised numbers within 2-3 days and they'd call me. Never called so I called a week later and she said she was working on it and it would help if she had my 2021 taxes- told her I made copies and gave them to her on our first visit - she said " oh you did ?"- of course that was the 1st red flag. 2/27 she told me we'd be getting a large refund. 2/28 woke up to an email " sorry I goofed" and she'd re do our taxes only to find we owe 1/2 of what she told us we were getting back . Ask what happened over night many times and she had no answer. On the multiple emails she sent over 3-1 it was different data and even the BASIC MATH wasn't accurate! Also got an invoice for $650 and asked Cheryl what the deal was as was promised $325. She responded with a flip attitude " why don't you pay what you want"- told I'd pay the $325 as that was our agreement.I had to send two follow up emails to confirm they actually filed our taxes only to get a phone call AFTER FILING on March 23rd that we could come in and sign and file ! Talk about disorganization! I was also told they'd mail back our paperwork and original documentation as our previous preparer did and was told they would . Never got it . Called and was told I had to come in and pick up taxes and asked why they wouldn't mail them and was told " it wasn't my decision it was Eric's". I just got back from driving to their office and initially they couldn't even find my tax file ! If you want a competent tax preparer that can do basic math, communicate honestly and openly and have integrity , don't recommend this company. Sad as we were with our previous tax preparer for over 22 years and needless to say our 1st and last experience with this horrible business. Way too competitive of a business to provide bad service and disorganization!
