I started to work with Lora on my 2023 taxes. Sent her my books and previous return so she could get acquainted with my books and returns. We didn't need her to do bookkeeping as we did our own but so she could familiarize herself with our company. We weren't going to do my taxes until I received all my 1099's to make sure all the numbers were correct. When I did receive all 1099's I noticed on a reconciliation file from paypal that they were double reporting me and I sent her the files to look at to confirm my suspicions. At first she didn't understand, then I sent another file and a detailed response to her voice mail and another detailed response to her email stating she would just do my tax returns and that's it. By now this is the 3rd day and several hours wasted on trying to get an answer about what I was seeing. I'd been trying to get a confirmation of what I was seeing and she still had not answered my simple question of, were they double reporting some income. She stated that she was too busy to look at the stuff as she was in full swing and didn't have the "bandwidth" to field my questions. One. Simple. Question. I found that when I did talk on the phone she was somewhat rude when she was challenged. As in how dare I tell her she might be doing something wrong. But in the end she never did answer my questions and with all the emails sent back and forth it was very apparent that she had never really looked at the files I sent her otherwise she could have just answered my 1 simple question. You are supposed to be my "tax professional" yet couldn't take the time to answer my question. we are PAYING for YOUR SERVICE, you should answer the questions of the customer who would be paying you, thankfully we didn't go with her. I also had asked for a quote which I got initially and when asked her again a month later to make sure I had the numbers right she had raised her quote by 250$ more than the initial quote and I had to call her on that. We decided that it was best not to work with her and did find a tax professional who spent 30 minutes with me initially, answered my questions and then called me back 5 days later to ask me more questions to clarify things on the returns and books I sent him to familiarize him with my business. A true Professional. Took the time to talk, and answer my questions and then ask more. Even though he was in "Full Swing" of tax season. I can't really recommend this person. read more

Thank you so much Lora for taking the time to answer my many questions in a direct and honest way. I have a sole proprietorship and this will be my first year paying taxes through it. It is clear she has lots of experience and was able to alleviate my stress and clarify some things that had been very confusing to me. I look forward to working with her in the future. read more

I called Lora to inquire about CPA services for a startup business. The call lead to a Q&A where she took the time to answer many specific questions I had concerning taxes and accounting. She obviously has plenty of experience and provided me advice tailored to the type of business I would be starting. read more

Tried calling and left a few messages. No answer and never returned my calls. Maybe they are just too busy for new business.

Bookkeeping and taxes are not my favorite thing. Which is why this review is that much more important. This is professionalism and peace of mind at its best! Even through a difficult divorce, Lora was able to communicate with both my ex and I, and delicately explain things to us in a straightforward manner. At times when we couldn't agree on anything, we both agreed that sticking with Epperson and Co was in our best interest. This is my bookkeeper/ tax expert for life! Thank you Lora! read more

Lora was very helpful in answering my small business tax questions via phone. Overall a wonderful experience and I will definitely work with her in the future. Thank you Lora! read more

I did some research after an overwhelming experience trying to find a trustworthy CPA. I was given some advice that cost me a lot of money by a different company. I contacted Lora for help and she replied immediately. She gave me her personal contact info and responded to each and every question I had within the hour. This was more than I can say for my previous CPA. It's nice to be heard and not just another paycheck. I started a small business last year and needed advice that I could count on. Lora gave that to me. She's friendly, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and commits to her clients. If you're looking for accounting and/or payroll services look no further! read more

LORA IS AMAZING! I have been partnering with her for many years now and her clients always seem tremendously happy with her.

I very highly recommend Lora with Epperson and Co. I recently had some issues with the IRS as a result of my prior tax consultant filing a portion of my return incorrectly. When I couldn't get any help from the person and/or company responsible for the error, I contacted Lora. She quickly helped me correct the issue with the IRS. I was actually not a client of Lora's at the time but will definitely ONLY be using her moving forward. A+ read more

Lora has been so helpful for me and my businesses these past couple years! Accounting is not my forte, but Lora's knowledgeable expertise ensures me that we are in good hands.

Big thank you to Lora. Had another account that just wasn't cutting it, never getting back to me, to filling was no good. Finally I had enough. Looked to yelp for a new accountant. From the initial call and speaking with her she had put my mind as ease. I have a business so I don't have the time to be worrying about this aspect of it. She is very knowledgeable about all this side of the business from buying other companies to financial planning to keep the business growing. I can't rave enough of her. Thank You Lora client for life. read more

I came to Lora about three or four years ago after a tax preparer messed up my taxes. Lora fixed it and since then I don't trust anyone else but her. Taxes is a foreign concept to me, especially being a college student trying to get grants, loans and dealing with FAFSA. However, Lora is knowledgeable and professional when it comes to filing my taxes each year. She helped me once to fill out my FAFSA back when I wasn't eligible to get grants. I use to do a lot of brand ambassador work for a lot of marketing agencies, receive more than 10+ W-2s and Lora was able to process and file my taxes in a short period of time before FAFSA was due. So if you're a college student, a brand ambassador, or just anyone who needs help with taxes or any financial service, go to Lora. read more

I've been going to Lora for years and she is incredibly knowledgeable and efficient. She gave thorough explanations and was happy to answer any questions I had. Working full time and being a full time student was enough work already, Lora streamlined the whole process and made it very easy. Thanks again and I'll be seeing you soon! read more

Went seeking guidance on amending previous years taxes due to a recent change in IRS rules that applied to me. I called the IRS...they were NO help! I called Epperson & Co. to make an appointment and they called me right back. She was very knowledgeable about my issue. She was also very helpful, giving me hand-written step-by-step instructions on what I needed to amend my taxes as well as the supporting documents to include. And you can't beat what she charged me!! read more

Lora has been my trusted tax advisor for many years. She is a wealth of knowledge and delivers great service. She is very easy to do business with and always takes great care of us, not just at tax time but throughout the entire year if I have a question that could potentially impact my taxes. I highly recommend her services! read more

I have been using Lora's tax service for approximately 10 years now with zero issues. I have been very pleased with how thorough she has been with all my paperwork/receipts. Well last year, I had a unique situation with my taxes that I thought a smaller company couldn't handle, so I went to one of those "big tax companies." In the end, Lora had given me the exact same information that the big tax company did. I wish I wouldn't have doubted Lora's information...it would have saved me thousands of dollars! read more

Got my taxes done there, they are fast, efficient and very competitive. If you want your taxes done right, see them!!!!

I recently opened a private practice and spent a significant amount of time looking for a reliable, honest, and knowledgeable accountant. After just a brief conversation with Lora, she was able to answer my questions in a very direct and honest way. It was clear she wasn't looking to see how much money she could squeeze out of me the way others CPA were trying to, offering services and recommendations that were not necessary. Lora is clearly very knowledgeable when it comes to my specific small-business needs and I definitely recommend her to anyone. She will gladly answer any questions and make you feel comfortable which is important when opening a small business as this can be an anxiety inducing process. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Lora. She is very flexible and amazing to work with. Not only is she EXTREMELY knowledgeable but she's also super professional and very nice! I started my own business this year and was beyond overwhelmed and she calmed all of my nerves and walked me through every step. I will DEFINITELY be returning to her for infinity and have recommended numerous people to her! Also, did I mention how reasonably priced she is?! I'm so lucky and thankful to have found her! 5 stars just isn't enough! read more
