My son is disabled.When we first met Joshwe had just received a notice of a $50000.00 overpayment…read moreand that my son's benefits were being terminated as well as his Medicare, because of my son's work review was completed incorrectly. Josh not only was in frequent communication with us, but with my son's employer as well to gather important details that would later result in not only the benefits being reinstated but the overpayment was totally removed. without Josh's diligence who knows what type of financial situation my son and I would be in .If you have a problem it's in your best interest to give Josh and Social Benefits a call. I can't thank him enough 5 stars doesn't seem adequate .Thank God for Josh's help.

Finding a competent tax professional was a high priority when we moved from Baltimore to South…read moreCarolina (Mount Pleasant) 4 1/2 years ago. You see, our first year's tax returns involved two states, multiple cash flows, distributions, purchase and sale of two properties, business interests, etc. , requiring proficiency above punching numbers into a canned tax program. While certainly I could have done it all myself, I wanted the benefit of tax advice and assurance that each return and associated schedules would be prepared correctly (read: lowest tax liability). As I was interested in a small office/sole practitioner, Allan G.Bolden, C.P.A., presented exactly the interface I was looking for. The front office staff is friendly, professional and efficient. Each January, we receive a notebook in which I complete tax-related proprietary forms and attach official documents which simplify the practice's information gathering phase. During our appointment, we discussed (with Allan) changes in our lives over the last year ... and anything that we could foresee ... that could affect our tax position in 2017. Allan does not actually key the input, that is completed by one of the staff specialists; however, he reviews every return and accompanying schedules. I like the fact that I've seen the same faces year after year. I know you're wondering about cost ... it's a function of the number and complexity of schedules ... so our cost each year has varied. We just signed off on our 5th year of returns. The turn around time was 3 days (including Sunday). If you're looking for a consummate tax professional ... Allan G. Bolden, C.P.A. is the practice for you.

I don't have prior experience with CPAs, so I have nothing to compare Thiem & McCutcheon to, but…read moreBen McCutcheon is awesome. The last couple of years, I could not and cannot bear the thought of seeing how much I pay the government out of my paycheck, nor how much I pay them in student loan interest, so I stuff all of my papers (admittedly not many) into a Ziplock bag and take them to Ben. He's so nice and has never once made me feel rushed during his hectic tax season. He answers all my questions and acts as a semi-counselor as I bitch and moan about taxes. They also upload Sharefile links to you each year which gives you notice to get your stuff together and is super easy in case you don't feel like getting downtown to see them. Check Ben out!

We have been using David Thiem, CPA, for over 40 years to do both our personal and business taxes…read moreand have NEVER had a problem with either he or his firm. They have helped us with payroll questions for our business and they do as little or as much as we need help with. Our personal returns are quite complicated because of the businesses we own and sometimes our returns are over 150 pages! We happily pay our bill each year and always check the square for IRS or SC Tax Commission to speak to Mr. Thiem regarding our information if need be. Mr. Thiem has represented us in two or three separate audits and they have all come out favorably - he stands behind what he puts on paper, so be truthful to him! He always knows that we need an extension and automatically files one for us - what a great person to have on your side! With Mr. Thiem nearing retirement, we hope that Mr. McCutcheon will be ready to handle all of our business (which we don't doubt for a second!) as we will stay with this long-established firm! You won't be sorry if you go to them, they are very professional and the tax people know and respect this firm!!

UPDATE: 02/02/15:…read more Went in today to straighten things out. Mr. Milligan is a very nice guy, and apologized for the mistakes and took action to correct them, buy re-doing the tax forms and explaining what needed to be done. He is very knowledgeable and just made an assumption that my company would be listed as an S-Corp (as a majority of LLC's elect to be), rather than a C-Corp . I am sure this is a rare occurrence. Original Review: In our initial consultation, I went over all the details with my notes. He didn't make any notes. I assumed he knew what he was doing and figured he was the professional. When the forms were complete, I went in to sign them, but was not given a copy. He said he'd mail me the forms the next day. Seemed weird at the time, but I took it as standard procedure. I should have looked better at the forms - my fault! When the forms didn't arrive, I called. He said he'd put them in the mail. Still, no forms. I got a call asking to come pick them up, which I did. Got home and noticed some mistakes, which I emailed him about. I got a short reply, "I'll get right on it." Three weeks later, no word, so I email again asking for an update. He replied that he was going to file an amendment, but "they" don't look at amendments until September, so there was no hurry. (?). Today, I get a letter from the IRS stating that the incorrect form had been completed for my business. All I wanted is for my personal and business taxes to be done correctly. 2014 was my first year in business and I wanted to get things right and sought outside help. If all these problems are worked out to my satisfaction, I will update and amend this review.
