So, I used the web to set up an appointment using GoToMeeting, I selected 11 am this morning to…read morehave my appointment. I got a confirmation, and then two emails from the calendar confirming the appt, and an email from Lyle saying he could meet with me for 15 minutes. I didn't notice that the calendar appointments were set for 3pm, instead of my requested time. I sent 2 emails, with no reply, and decided to wait until 3 pm. As of this posting, (3:30pm) I still have not heard from Lyle, nor anyone else at Prepared Accounting about my appointment. No invitation to go to meeting, nor any word as to why my appointment time changed inexplicably. I guess I will keep looking for a good CPA.

Lyle met with us to discuss opening up a new business last summer. His introduction was clear, easy…read moreto understand, and super helpful. We ran into some complications and put the project on a shelf for several months. I came back to Lyle and Prepared Accounting as we began renovations on our commercial space and just in time for tax season. Despite being in full tilt for the April tax deadlines, Lyle took on our tax return and books management without hesitation and without judgement for being underprepared (my label, not his). He turned it around in record time, being sensitive to some of our other financial applications that needed our returns early, and stayed late with me one night to get me and the books up to speed. In short, I came to him with a late request, with weak documentation and preparation on my end, and he turned it around and delivered excellent service. I also found him to be extremely considerate, kind, and sensitive to the stresses small business owners feel in their early years. I will be recommending him widely in the area and returning for his services regularly. Prepared Accounting far exceeded even my most ambitious expectations for great tax and accounting services.
