I worked with this company for 20 years and finally had enough of their abysmal service, horrible…read moreresponse time and overall lack of care about their clients. When I started working with them they were timely, reasonably priced, and had amazing staff. They've had so much turnover and their primary accountant is rude, disorganized and non-responsive. Last years tax process was a complete disaster - they lost my information that I had emailed, and didn't start working on my taxes until the week before they were due, even though I had sent them all my information in February. And then, after multiple requests for status on my returns, they ask me for my information again, and tell me I owe alot more than I expected. The owner refused to return my call or emails when I tried to contact him about my concerns. And then they threatened to withhold an October filing for my wife's business until I paid off my small balance. My new provider found several mistakes in my filings and missed tax savings. That was all I needed to hear to confirm that I made the right choice to get away from them.

I went to Jarvis & Associates to get my taxes done for my 501c3 organization. They were excellent…read morein person and made me feel very comfortable. After my first initial visit there, everything dropped off the wagon. I would need to wait weeks to get a returned email or phone call. They needed to file an extension with my taxes (even when I went there months in advance before taxes were due). It's so hard to communicate with this firm. I also dropped off payment promptly to get my taxes paid for and no one even called or sent an email that it was received. Go somewhere else.

Excellent communication. If you're looking for an accountant in the area I'd highly recommend…read moreJarvis and Associates.

My husband and I had our taxes prepared by Barbara Glanz for the tax year 2014. I received a letter…read morein the mail from the IRS telling me they were filed incorrectly concerning my First Time Homebuyer Credit from 2008. I emailed and called Barbara, she did not reply/return calls. I had to physically go to the office to get a response, which was her sitting behind a desk in a separate room and attempting to yell to me she did the taxes right, the IRS must be wrong. She said the First Time Homebuyer Credit from 2008 was waived by the government and I don't need to pay it at all - WRONG! I have finally gotten through to the IRS by phone now on June 4 and have confirmed Barbara Glanz did my taxes incorrectly. Why did I pay $225 to have my taxes done by a professional, if she does not know the correct tax laws? If it weren't for my own research after the letter arrived, I'd be doing something illegal thanks to Barbara Glanz. She refuses to refund the money we paid her and refuses to research the laws she claims to know. This should stand as a huge warning to anyone looking into a new tax accountant. Glanz & Associates is NOT the business for you if you want your taxes handled correctly. I am filing a BBB claim once a new IRS letter confirming the taxes were done wrong is sent to me shortly, so that I have paper evidence for the claim.

Carla is the kind of accountant who tells it like it is--no beating around the bush! She is professional, extremely knowledgeable, fast, efficient, and always gets things done. Her prices are also extremely reasonable, which is becoming harder and harder to find these days. And Carla and her daughter together are truly a dynamic duo! They make a great team. I was in good hands with both of them. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an accountant!
