This firm did my taxes much to my satisfaction for several years. But when One of the founders…read moreretired things changed. Apparently the current managing partner wants to pick and choose who he does business with. Of course this is his prerogative but he should've told me instead of charging me a lot of money and dragging me out for months leaving me owing many thousands to the IRS. Eventually out of frustration I went to a new CPA who shook his head when he saw the tax forms that I paid FS&U to do. I had to pay again to get them amended. But you know it's amazing what happens when someone who cares and has integrity does your taxes. I went from owing thousands of dollars to only a couple hundred. So Chris Ulmer responded to my review. However Chris is the one who treated me this way. Amazing how the attitude changes once things are public.

When she called to make this year's appointment, it was discovered that they (Chans) had received a check for my daughter last year that she was never informed of and was just put in her file. Don't know why it was sent there since the return was filed electronically. This year my daughter filed in early March. At the end of March she called Chans to see why nothing was showing on IRS site for her. They delayed filing AGAIN! It's now May and when she called Chans for help/advice she was given the public IRS number you can get online, and told she was on her own, but that Chans had already gotten their money for filing her return. No help, no concern. They also completely lost my grandsons return, which being a very young inexperienced guy, he can not now find, and of course there is info that he needs for this year. What kind of service completely loses that info! They seem to be completely unconcerned and disinterested.
