    I hired this firm to help me with corporate and personal income tax. I did file late…read more Unfortunately he did not automatically apply for extensions as my previous CPA did resulting in large penalties. He also didn't appeal the penalties. While I had established an s corp to help reduce my taxable income, he didn't achieve that or find any deductions I can see as my previous accountants did. After paying a very large tax bill and then later thousands in penalties the irs wanted to review the entire tax year he prepared, As well as set up a payment plan for still more funds for some unknown reason . Mr Ha refused to do this so I'm spending hours on the phone trying to reach the irs to find out what's gone wrong. I thought tax preparers were required to defend their work because they always have previously I don't think any of this is criminal or reaches the level of malpractice, but it's certainly the worst outcome and service I've encountered from a tax preparer in my life

    A coworker referred us to Vincent and he was kind enough to fit us into his workload despite not…read moretaking new clients currently. It was our first time going somewhere besides a major chain so we were unsure about the process. It was extremely simple to upload our documents to the online tax portal. From reaching out for a quote to filing our taxes, it was only 3 days! We were so impressed with his efficiency and so happy to find a new go-to person for our taxes. We definitely plan to return to Vincent again next year.

    I could not and would not ever recommend Hawks & Associates CPAs…read more Hawks CPAs is a dishonest organization. We made a Big mistake providing them a retainer for assistance. We were charged 980.00 dollars for nothing more then bad advice and weeks of wasted time. If you are even remotely thinking getting involved with Hawks and Associates, you should invest the time to read our recent experience (December-2025). First, they would not even talk to me until I gave them a 2000.00-dollar retainer. After doing so, they did not provide any receipt and I had to ask, insist for one, which I received a few days later. This got me a hand written invoice that looked exactly like the type of invoice I provided to customers I did gutter cleaning for when I was a teenager about 40 years ago. In short, Hawks charged me for bad tax advice, corroborated by our banking manager and lawyer. The tax advice they gave me could not even be acted on, as both our banking manager and lawyer said we could not move forward with what they advised. Only after I told Hawks CPAs the advice, they gave me was incorrect and could not be acted on did they contact my banking manager that told them exactly that. I provided all of our information, copy of trust, all associated documents and contact information for our banking manager, lawyer and clearly stated, contact them for any needed information... They never contacted them before telling me how to move forward and I clearly believe they never even looked at any the trust and accompanying documentation or banking information I provided, before giving me bad info and charging me 980.00 dollars for their waste of my time and money; Morons. Hawks and Associates CPAs sent me an invoice for 980.00 that only stated General Services and 2025 Tax planning. I asked if they could please send me a more detailed invoice as to what the 980.00 fee involved. Hawks said no, they do not provide detailed invoices. After this I had more than enough of their BS and fired them, immediately terminated any further services with them and insisted they return any remaining funds provided for their retainer. I gave Hawks CPAs the exact spelling that was needed for the check to be deposited back into the Trust funds and asked them to please make the check out to the trust name, of course they did not follow this simple request and made the check out to me and my wife... I also asked them to please return all documents I provided and to provide the tax forms they indicated they had already been working on. They returned nothing to me and keep stating they already returned all documents and completed tax forms to me. Additionally, I also received a letter from Robert Hawks stating, "they returned all documents, materials and tax documents they worked on" and "they will no longer provide any services to me and I will need to find another service provider for assistance with tax, bookkeeping and accounting services effective immediately". To date I have only received a check endorsed to the wrong entity and their repeated statement of they do not have any documentation in my file. Read my mind!

    The most arrogant and unfriendly business I've ever worked with! One time, that's all it took…read more Go to ANYONE else! They think they're lawyers and bill off of retainers WITHOUT providing itemized documents! Scam! Who can't provide itemized bills!??
