After a brief discussion, I asked to send her an email snapshot of my income tax dilemma. She immediately texted me her info, and I sent my request! She immediately responded to my email and had fantastic news for me! I was totally blown -away by Nancy's customer service skills! I had been trying to get help from my old actg. firm (who I was faithful to for 15 yrs) in VA - I just moved to TX in January. They basically ignored me for 2 months. I definitely recommend Seaside & Nancy if you need actg or tax help! She's a professional and a ROCKSTAR! She really understands customer service!

What is not addressed is any acknowledgment of short comings on their part. Lack of communication, dragging their feet and never getting the ball rolling or even appointing an accountant to my business, which was mentioned several times, but never done. Also doesn't explain a $810/hr zoom meeting that was charged. There time is obviously way more important than everyone else's time. Nickel and Dime charges for every second of their time without acknowledging their shortcomings and offering to compensate more back for lack of any else's time should be a red flag to anyone that hopefully reads this.

But as my salary grew and I bought a home things started to change and so did her knowledge. She kept stating she doesn't lie on taxes which is weird. When I gave her all my paperwork and soon as I started talking about being in a new tax bracket she got jumpy and defensive which was confusing to me. I am not sure if she suggesting I was too young to be making what I make or what. I went home and she emailed me how much I would get back. It was apparent that she did not enter in my information correct. I reached out to her to ask about it calmly and that is when she exploded and sent me a nasty email. I went to her to get my paperwork back and she came out with her hands up and frantically saying she did everything right... It was a very awkward situation. I believe she may have gotten caught up in someone else's mess and it jilted her. I have never and will never lie on my taxes and I have never asked her to do so. Its weird because I did not know how to take that statement. I now have a new person who is completely well versed with different tax situations and the tax laws. Good Riddins

I'm going to try to make a criticism sandwich out of my bad experience:…read more THE GOOD - Albert seems like a nice guy who is trying to make money to feed his family. I believe he wants to do right by his customers, but... when it all comes down to it he really only wants customers who are willing to pay premium pricing for average (at best) services. THE BAD - For me, his kindness ended when I simply asked him why he charges almost twice as much ($500 for my personal taxes compared to someone else who charged me $300 last year) as other CPA's when he is doing the same calculations for your taxes. After spending an hour and a half discussing my tax history with Albert, I finally asked about pricing. This is when he told me about his high prices. So I let him know that for the sake of time I would be willing to pay him to do my taxes this year, but at that price I would likely not continue to use him year after year. To my surprise, he got defensive at this point and let me know that I should probably find someone else to do my taxes because it "wouldn't be worth his time" to do my taxes for one year. What good business person turns down easy money when you have already done half the work? THE SILVER LINING - Although this guy completely wasted my time, I'm happy he showed his true colors. I have plans to purchase a franchise or start a business in the near future in addition to potentially investing in real estate. I would hate to work with someone who feels they are "too good" to work with me on my simple taxes when I know my taxes will become more complex in time. I truly feel that I dodged a bullet on this one. Good luck to you if you choose to use this guy for your tax prep. I hope you have deep pockets!

I can't compliment the staff at Baity & Assoc. High enough…read more I was in a real financial bind with the IRS and was forced to work two full time jobs to pay them. Baity and Assoc. spoke to the IRS and eventually got roughly 60k of penalties and fees dropped and my payments cut by 2/3. They were professional and reassuring during the whole process and I shutter to think what kind of situation I'd be in without them. As for their fees - I've been to 3 previous accountants who racked me over the coals with fees and never delivered a portion of the service and peace of mind I have now because of Baity and Assoc. Of the services I used- Baity was the only one who didn't "brag" about how great they were- Baity delivered as promise for a very reasonable price. So, if you're tired of empty promises from TV ads and crooked accountants- go to Baity and Assoc. They will give you piece of mind and really fight for you.
