Finding out I had been doing my own taxes wrong for the past three years gave me extreme anxiety,…read morebut going to Michael helped diminish that greatly. I'm young and taxes are pretty much a foreign language to me. Michael helped explain them all to me in the simplest way possible, and he was able to amend 3 years worth of taxes, basically pick up where I left off and explain to me what my next steps were. He even gave me instructions for all my amended returns in the easiest steps for a process I had never done before. Michael was extremely patient and easy to contact when I needed help outside of his office. He provided me with status updates and was able to meet on my time to go over the final stages. I highly recommend Michael and his business if you need your taxes done, from the smallest of returns to my sort of problem--where you don't know what you're doing. He eased my nerves and added humor to my hefty situation, a very funny guy. 5 stars and coming back next year!

This was our first time working with Mike. We had been with our previous accountant for over 20…read moreyears and felt it was time for a change. Making that change is never easy. But I had seen that Michael's business was close by and had some good recommendations. We had an initial call and I explained what our tax profile looked like. i decided to move forward with him. I dropped off the prior years taxes so that his staff could input what needed to entered for this years taxes. After a few calls to clarify some questions about our provided information & our LLC, our taxes were completed in a short period of time.

I think Tom Kubiak and his staff were friendly, helpful and their prices were very fair. I even brought in 2 new customers. So why am I ranking them at 1 star? Because they abandoned me when faced with the toughest part of thier job. I got audited by the Fed IRS for one of the years that he filed for me. At first Tom was very helpful during the process. As per the request of the IRS, he was the point of contact... They spoke to him and he relayed to me what they needed. All was quiet for over 2 months and I thought things were wrapping up until I got a letter in the mail stating that my accountant had broken off all contact and refused to call them back!!?! I reached out twice myself and I also could no longer reach Tom who in the past was always VERY accessible. I was forced to complete the audit on my own with no counsel. This is not the way to do business. IF you get audited this is where you need your tax people the most and I was abandoned. I can not recommend them... never again.

I call the business about reissuing a check. The woman was incredibly unpleasant just by having to answer the phone. She made it seem like losing a check was the end of the world. I thought she had reissued the check for the correct week, but she put a stop payment on the check that I hadn't even received yet, for another 4 days. When i realized what she had done, I went to the bank and had them explain it to me. I called her on my way out of the bank, an easy pleasant experience. The woman answered, how may I help you. When I explained my reason for calling, she started to yell at me "HALT HALT HALT" shocked, I said "yes?" "who are you! I can't help you if I don't know who you are!" ....I'm sorry but that was not the question that I was asked and answering? I told her who I was, now acting pretty timid as her attitude was actually making me uncomfortable because I didn't want to get yelled at. She would not admit to her mistake or understand what I was saying, no matter how many times I repeated myself. She was actually complaining out loud that she had to turn her computer on, once again, as if that was my problem that she hadn't been working. Eventually her stride became too much, so I asked to speak to someone else, her boss preferably. Well, here is my proof this company is a joke. Her boss got on the phone, yelled at me, and ready? Called me a bitch! NAME CALLING TO A CUSTOMER. Keep in mind although I was gaining defense, who wouldn't, I was NOT instigating and of course not name calling. This is my only yelp review because of how awful this was. Now, she thinks she hung up (suddenly, without warning after calling me a bitch). But, she leaves her phone on speaker. I hear the nasty, and absolutely creepy things the two women were saying, joking around that i sounded younger (I am an adult), and proceeded to call me a "naughty little bitch". I called back 3 times, until I finally was not hung up on, and told I was a bitch a couple more times and that my check would be in the mail soon. So what legitimate business calls people bitches, just because they can't admit they made a mistake. I am just a young adult with bills to pay and cannot afford to go 2 weeks without paychecks. Did not need to be called names by two grown women.

From the owner: CheckMate Management was founded in 1997 by James Whitten, Attorney at Law. While working as the…read morehead of the legal department for a large payroll firm, Jim observed the impersonal disconnect between the client and the payroll firm and decided that there was the need for a smaller, local, and more personal approach to business. Generally speaking, small business owners are very knowledgeable about their own businesses, but relatively weak in the areas of compliance with state and federal laws, takes, etc. With this in mind, CheckMate Management was initiated. Our mission is to relieve the small business owner of all the paper work headaches that go along with having employees and free the owner to do the work he does so well. We provide payroll services, health insurance, retirement plans, workers compensation services, up to date compliance forms, federal & state reporting, disability insurance, unemployment claim management, and human resources with complete record keeping.
