I hardly ever write reviews, but must this time. Hopefully it helps someone avoid my experience…read more My wonderful accountant for many years retired last year and sold his practice to CPA nerds. It was bad timing for me as I had the most important tax year of my career. My needs were turned over to CPA nerds and I provided them with detailed information on my tax needs. Most of the information I sent was completely ignored. There was almost no communication. In fact, I made a large tax payment in April they told me to make (via email), I documented it and reported it to CPA nerds but it was NOT included in my tax filings. I called multiple times before filing my taxes requesting a review of my return as I knew it was wrong. I finally reached my old accountant days before my tax extension expired and he fixed what he could, including adding in the large tax payment I made in April 2023. I went from owing over $30,000 to a $10,000 return! I was so grateful he corrected most of the errors, but he couldn't fix everything. He didn't have access on his end to the other things he needed to correct. (I was charged for his time to correct my return, which I gladly paid as he deserved to be compensated, but you can imagine my frustration at having to pay someone to correct what should have been done for a fee I had already paid to CPA nerds). After tax filings when I started to get some response (after multiple requests) from CPA nerds I received my detailed records on what was reported and used for my tax calculations. After reviewing it myself I learned that over $50,000 in business expenses that I reported were not included in my tax return, costing me over $20,000. These expenses INCLUDED FEES I PAID TO CPA NERDS for my business return! They didn't report their own fees as business expenses! I even listed them on a spreadsheet I sent to them! Since receiving the data and realizing how much my corrected tax return was still off I asked if they would amend my return. There has been no response from CPA nerds to help me. I was advised by other professionals to hire a new accountant and file an amended return at my expense. I don't think I could have had a worse experience at a worst time. This is a terrible CPA group. Stay away.
