    It's unfortunate, but I had to leave this business. They made a huge error on my taxes and…read morebasically forgot to enter my state taxes as a deduction. Nobody ever apologized or said it was their mistake. I was just supposed to be grateful when they got it back. The owner is condescending to women. If you act confused or you need additional explanation, he kind of rolls his eyes. He would never ever admit an error. So I don't think it's worth the risk to go there. I have since left.

    I have had a nightmare experience, specifically with Tara. She will not allow me to speak to anyone…read moreoutside of her & has become in increasingly aggressive with each F/U call. She then threatened me when I asked for the CPA, stating that they shredded my original financial documents & to stop calling. This is after telling me that she would look for them in the basement. The office has now been sent certified mail demanding the return of my documents & may be responsible for any penalties applied to my tax account while I pend their return.
