    I have been a client of this practice for several years. Everything had gone smoothly until this…read moreyear. I sent in all of my paperwork by March 19th, just after their deadline to have taxes submitted by April 15. No problem, they filed an extension for me. I followed up in April, and again in July to check on status... and received no reply. I called later in July, to see if I could speak with Alice (our accountant at the firm) directly. I tried a few times to reach her and on August 27 received an email informing me that Alice was no longer with the firm but that Ami would be handling our taxes. There was no other notice - not a note from Alice letting us know she was leaving, nor any sort of apology for the long lapse in communication. Ami then did our taxes and sent a link to review them. The numbers looked good, but she messed up the names on the return. I reached out to have her fix them. Silence. After multiple attempts, I finally got someone who was able to fix the names. I went to review the return and the refund amounts were now different by several thousand dollars. I politely inquired and was told this is due to a 529 plan distribution which they had somehow forgotten to include when they did the taxes earlier. They didn't have any receipts for offsetting expenses, so assumed there were none, and didn't bother to ask. It took a few tries to get that fixed, but they did. They then tried to submit my taxes electronically, but they input the wrong PIN numbers. The correct PINs were in the initial correspondence that I had sent them that included all of my relevant tax information. They were called out in a separate paragraph of my cover letter to the accountant. I re-provided the PINs over the phone and the IRS accepted the files, so I'm now hoping that it's all good. I am not a happy customer. I pay an accountant to do my taxes because they're supposed to keep things straight. In fact, the normal process to institute an internal controls program in any business is to hire accountants to make sure that things are properly - what's the word? oh... yeah... - accounted for. This firm couldn't communicate what was happening with their internal processes, and then made careless mistakes and oversights, and couldn't communicate with me about my taxes. And for the record - we had a mess of deductions, and the amount of the refund was sufficient that each month our tax filing was delayed cost us roughly $300 in interest. I've not seen any offer of recompense. I'm definitely not trusting this firm with my accounting going forward.

    We have used Watter CPA for our tax preparation for a number of years, and we are very happy to…read morecontinue with them! The CPA practice has transitioned from a small number of people working in the Rockville office to an expanded practice under the umbrella of George Dimov, located in New York City. Throughout the transition, when we have had a question or concern, someone has always responded in a timely and positive way. Some of our investment statements are always delivered late in the first quarter. Usually, Watter CPA has been able to upload all our data except those pieces, so that they could be entered quickly, allowing us to file by April 15. When that last investment data is delivered to us too late, Watter CPA smoothly files an extension for us. The Rockville staff is courteous and efficient. Courtland (in the front office) knows us as returned clients and we are totally comfortable trusting her to follow through with any and every communication. This year was the first time that Mitchell prepared our taxes and it was clear that he understood our rather complicated income tax profile, expertly applying every credit we could have and taking the time to clearly explain the answers to every question. We are very happy to recommend Watter CPA/George Dimov Tax Service, and we look forward to continuing with them in future years. Larry & Nita Vorisek

    It has been so helpful to work with Kevin these past couple of months! When my husband and…read more I were initially searching for some support with our finances, we were looking for someone who could meet us at our level and explain financial topics in ways we could understand ( HSAs, Roth IRAs, Traditional IRAs, HYSAs, etc.) We were looking for someone who help us understand our current financial picture and whether we were saving enough to be able to retire at our desired age, be able to enjoy our current hobbies of traveling, and pay for medical expenses we will have. As a woman who got married later and came to my marriage with assets, I wanted to make sure I was making smart financial decisions with regards to my investments, savings, and spending habits as I know I will take home less money than my husband. We found that in Kevin and are so grateful for his knowledge and guidance. Kevin has helped me understand my financial portfolio and adjust my investment choices to match my financial goals. He has a unique approach to providing guidance with regards to finances which involves front loading the work together with weekly meetings the first month followed by check-ins and continued financial information through articles on various financial topics. We highly recommend working with Kevin if you are looking for solid guidance around your finances.

    Kevin has been such an incredible asset in my life. I knew that I was not confident in how to…read morehandle money and the stressors of bills and student loans after graduating and starting my first full time job. I also didn't know if I was being too hasty in pursuing a financial advisor when I was just starting out; was the investment in a financial planner worth it considering I had little assets, a moderate paycheck, and student loan debt? Since I was rather anxious in not wanting to make mistakes that could impact the rest of my financial life, I decided to look into Kevin. His website drew me in with his focus on millennials and the unique financial challenges we face. He seemed real and truthful which is what I was looking for above all else. Someone to give me real, concrete advice, and not take advantage of me considering my limited understanding in "adult" finances. After my first free consultation I knew I was in good hands and that his website accurately reflected his values. Although it was a financial investment to get a financial planner, Kevin has helped me set up a future that is beyond worth the money I spent/spend. We continue to have check-ins as my financial situation changes and he never holds judgement when I need a concept explained or broken down considering money has a lot of jargon. I now feel confident in my plans for paying off my student debt, investing in my future, and living a normal life all at the same time. I recommend him to all my friends and coworkers when conversations turn to finances as we all navigate this often challenging money world.

    Excellent company to work with. I recently retired and had a…read morecomplementary consultation with Abe. Was greeted with the nicest staff and they made me feel like a priority one. During the time I was researching and deciding whether I was going to invest with them (or rather have them invest my retirement funds) I asked a lot of questions and they never made me feel like it was anything I should've known. I did some research and they have an A+ rating with the BBB and come highly recommended in all business sources like the Chamber of Commerce Every step of the way they have made me feel like a valued client, answered emails in a timely and respectful manner. As I was still working for my first couple of appointments they were very flexible in scheduling. I already have my next steps scheduled

As a business owner, I know what it's like to deal with idiots like Arthur A. I am trying to balance things out for others who are researching like me, and pay it forward because of losers like Arthur A. He actually sounds like an angry competitor. The fact is, if you look around, you'll see great reviews for them on Google & FB. I often hear their radio show Sunday mornings on WMAL, and I do like what they have to say. I've decided I am going to give them a shot, and I'll follow up here with an honest review of their services.
