Numbers Crunchers gets the job done. Nothing fancy, but why should it be?…read more Once upon a time I was able to navigate the tax form quagmire on my own until that first time I found myself keeping a dictionary nearby to look up a common English word in the hopes there was some obscure definition that when the word was used in that context, would unlock the madness. Who writes these forms anyway? Thanks Torquemada. A twisted version of your legacy lives on. Number Crunchers is a one-woman shop, or perhaps a one-family shop might be a more apropos description. Melody, the boss, does the tax returns, but is assisted by the accountants (who are likely CPAs by now) who also happen to be family, or soon-to-be-family. When you walk in, the first person you'll see might be her husband/office manager. Numbers Crunchers is thorough, delivers the work when promised, and because it's a small business, will only accept a certain number of clients in order to be certain to deliver the best service. Like most things in NC, Numbers Crunchers is higher in price than its counterparts from other states in my experience, but compared with other tax preparers in the area, Numbers Crunchers pricing is reasonable and there won't be any hidden charges for the basic tax returns.

I have used her services since 2013 and she has been nothing but helpful. My former accountant got me audited by the IRS in 2011 and 2013 due to silly mistakes. She fixed the errors.

All this even before I hired him!!! Who does that nowadays? I've been looking for a good CPA for a couple of weeks now, and most of them either did not return my call for several days or gave way too pricey quotes and tried to sell other services that I do not need currently. What I got out of Ashraf in our 30 min phone call was 10 times more advise than many other firms would have charged me an arm an a leg. If anyone is reading this review and are looking for an honest, knowledgeable and easy to reach CPA, don't look elsewhere. Go with Ashraf Mehdi, you won't be disappointed!

By tax season, he had forgotten everything and wrongly accused me of not actually starting my business. His errors nearly cost me $30K--had I not sought a second opinion, which led to a refund. He also botched my personal return, failing to account for a significant portion of my income. When I pointed it out, his firm blamed me for providing "nonstandard income documents"--even though I gave him exactly what he requested. Throughout the process, he treated me with mistrust and skepticism about my income level. The experience was frustrating and disheartening. Beware.
