Looking for a new CPA after years with our old one. Had an appointment with Carrie and I liked her…read moreimmediately. She's knowledgeable and was more than willing to speak to our financial advisor about perhaps changing the way we invest to mitigate our tax burden. Everyone I met during my visit was professional and very pleasant. Think this is going to be a great find for a CPA.

This was definitely the WORST TAX EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD and I wish I had not read any of the 4…read more"good" reviews that were posted as they were in no way indicative of my experience! In over 30 years of using tax accountants, I have NEVER had an accountant refuse to sit down and go through my account with me, and I have NEVER been handed my return at pick-up time with absolutely no communication, no explanation, NOTHING! Not one word about the return or how things were handled, just a fat bill and a see ya later. This was so beyond unacceptable!!!!!!! I could have gone to H&RBlock and had way better service, way better communication, and for WAYYYYYY less money. This was just a mind-boggling horrible experience in every way and I would suggest you look ANYWHERE else for any tax help!!!!!!! I would seriously consider that the 4 reviews posted, for a company that has "been in business for decades" ???, may not be legit.

I would not recommend this company. They are disorganized at best. They advertise very low fees;…read morehowever, I learned after approximately 3 weeks that they charge by the hour (including emails) for anything above the tax preparation itself, which was never disclosed to me. I never received any kind of engagement letter outlining fees, etc. After putting in a ton of time and effort to get my S-corp set up, the CPA's assistant never ran payroll because she ran into an issue with my bank but never informed me. When I learned of this, she told me that she was very busy because it was tax season and said "Sweetie, if it was that stressful to you, you could have just done it yourself". By not running payroll, they caused me to be behind in submitting a W-2 to get an employer medical insurance plan which means that I will have to pay over $700 for another month of my individual plan. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

I would not recommend using this business. They are terrible at communication…read more The owner also went on a review of mine on another platform and replied to my honest review with an incomplete story about our interactions in an attempt to make herself look better I assume. It is unfortunate that she chooses to run her business in this way. Bottom line is their communication is terrible so please save yourself the trouble and choose somewhere else.

I decided that I needed some professional help and called Pennywise for an appointment. I have to say that Beth was just so kind and while we sat there, she did my taxes and was able to deal properly with the 1099-MISC! She is quite the professional and really nice. You can tell that she knows what she is doing which gives you a great level of trust. If you need some tax accounting advice or taxes done, Pennywise is the place to go in Gig Harbor!
