Getting a letter from the IRS saying that you owe a lot of money is a scary thing. I had never…read moreworked with a CPA before, and quite frankly, wasn't sure what to expect. I called Graber & Associates because I read a number of reviews that had been left for them, and I'm so glad I called. Steven was fantastic. From explaining to me exactly what I needed to do, to then handling all of the bits that I would have been completely unable to do, and ending up with me owing a fraction of what the IRS told me I owed. I can't recommend Graber & Associates enough. If you're reading this, and you need accounting help, don't hesitate for a second to call them!! :)

He turned all three years around in a couple of weeks and I am heading into retirement with my taxes current! (Maybe an odd thing to be happy about, but IRS and I have a checkered past).

Thank you Eric! We would highly recommend Johnson & Associates and intend to be a regular client. - Bob Saunders

I've been working with Miller Musmar, CPAs for some time now, and I wanted to share my experience…read morefor anyone looking for accounting services in the area. From the beginning, the team at Miller Musmar has been professional and attentive. When I first reached out, I was dealing with some complicated tax issues that I'd been putting off, and I wasn't sure how to tackle them. They took the time to understand my situation thoroughly and explained everything in terms I could actually understand, which immediately put me at ease. What stands out most about working with Miller Musmar is their communication. I'm always kept informed about what's happening with my accounts and tax filings. They respond to emails and phone calls promptly, and they make sure I understand deadlines and what's needed from me well in advance. There's never any confusion about where things stand or what the next steps are. That level of clarity has been invaluable, especially during tax season when things can get hectic. The transparency they provide has also been impressive. They're upfront about costs from the start, so there are no surprise fees or unexpected charges down the line. They explain their billing clearly and I always feel like I'm getting fair value for the services provided. They've also been proactive about finding deductions and strategies that have saved me money, which shows they're genuinely looking out for my best interests rather than just processing paperwork. Their approach is efficient and thorough. They don't drag things out unnecessarily, but they also don't rush through important details. Everything gets done in a reasonable timeframe, and I've never felt like my work was being delayed or that the process was being stretched out for billing purposes. They're organized, detail-oriented, and they catch things that I would have missed on my own. What I appreciate most is that they take a collaborative approach. When decisions need to be made, they present options clearly and help me understand the implications of each choice. They never make me feel like I'm asking stupid questions, and they're patient in explaining complex tax matters. I feel like I'm part of the process rather than being kept in the dark. The team has also been flexible and accommodating when unexpected situations come up. Whether it's a last-minute question or a change in my financial situation, they've always been responsive and helpful in figuring out the best path forward. Working with Miller Musmar has made tax season and financial planning far less stressful than it used to be. Having someone I can trust to handle these important matters with competence and integrity gives me real peace of mind. If you're looking for a CPA firm that communicates well, operates with transparency, and genuinely works to help you navigate your financial responsibilities, I'd definitely recommend Miller Musmar, CPAs.

This firm is so incompetent it is borderline criminal. We fired them from bookkeeping, but kept…read morethem for tax prep. Here is how that went: In January, we had a tax planning meeting (seems a little late, but whatever). Their estimate of the income we would report for 2023 was off by 300%. That's 300% off what the same firm calculated two months later when they actually did the taxes. No new numbers came in, everything was available in mid January when they came up with the estimate. When they filed tax returns in April for our firm, they overstated our income on our state returns, apportioning 100% to each state we do business in, instead of proportional amounts. We overpaid our taxes by $100k, and only caught the mistake because *we* found it and pointed it out to them. It took MM over 48 hours to confirm the mistake that we pointed out to them. They then filed amended returns. We will eventually get that money back, but only because of our own diligence. Also...never so much as an apology or taking accountability for the massive mistake. I have another firm redoing our tax filings, to make sure no other mistakes were made. Expensive lesson.

SK's online review rating was higher at the time I started working with them so perhaps it seems their below average service delivery is catching up with them. I would just say to proceed with caution. The price is fair based on other CPA firms, but you need to know that the service will be a challenge. I experienced poor communication, major delays in timing expectations, and less than competent tax preparation. I'm a business owner/CPA and when I worked with SK I joked that you needed to be a CPA in order to work with them. I caught many mistakes (even basic ones) that prevented headaches down the line had I not caught them before final filing with the tax authorities. I would have left one star, but I believe they mean well, there's just seems to be an inability to execute. They recognized my poor service experience, but then weren't able to improve it (even after the associate we were working with left). Again, engage with caution.

But the whole experience was unprofessional and ultimately unhelpful when it came to doing our actual taxes. First, I didn't hear anything from them for a couple of weeks after our initial meeting. It required me following up to get an update. And then I had specifically asked for a heads up on whether we were likely to owe any taxes, since we were self-employed the past year and unclear whether we were paying sufficient estimated taxes. In the end, I got a response a couple of days before taxes were due to be filed with a report that we $12K in taxes. There was a potential to open an IRA to lowering our tax liability but with no guidance on how to do that and only 2 days to spare we just paid the bill. I would not recommend working with these folks. They seem like nice enough people but were either overwhelmed this tax season or understaffed. Either way, that exactly what you count on a tax account to be prepared for and they clearly failed.

It's now been years & his service level just keeps getting better & better. He is insanely responsive, knowledgable & cares deeply about every client. You feel that the moment you meet him.

Things I've learned by having a real professional work on your taxes: 1) You get more money back...even when they don't let claim your pet bunny as a dependent (hey, do you know how much bunnies cost?!? I think I should get the same tax deduction as a kid! Especially as my bunny won't be a drain on our social resources. I'm just sayin'!). 2) You save yourself a couple hours arguing with your husband if I can "fake" not living in MoCo and not pay the higher tax rate...I mean, we live in Gaithersburg...that's *practically* Frederick County (with the lower tax rate), right??? 3) You don't make your significant other cry when you proudly proclaim that the Fed is going to give you a $1,335,830 refund...because you screwed up the decimal point thingie. By *A LOT*. Oops. Heh. Yeah, I know. I am the most highly functioning ditz on the planet. But here's the OTHER awesomething thing about CHC. Unlike other tax prep places (like, H&R Block, not that there's anything wrong with them), CHC *ALSO* does financial planning.SOOOO...when you get back that super awesome refund...you can INVEST IT...which CHC does as well. So in a nutshell: unless you're Warren Buffet or Mitt Romney...call up CHC. Just like you would call a plumber to fix your drain...call a professional to do your taxes! YAY!

I had a complicated (or what I thought was complicated) situation when I first became a client (multiple jobs/ living/working different states/trying to start a sole proprietorship) but Jon made it a breeze! He is extremely easy to work with as he is friendly, professional and incredibly knowledgable. Any time I have a question, he is very quick to reply via email or phone and always explained it in a way that I would understand him. I highly recommend Jon (or any of the other associates at CHC) looking for help with tax prep- they're the best.
