This was the first year I hired out for someone to do my taxes... And let me tell you, I wish I would have found this place sooner! I was able to get an appointment quickly and the turn around for my taxes was extremely fast too. I will definitely be using this company for my tax needs for many years to come! read more

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you, I deal with vendors, and business associates all day. With all of our vendors, I have a personal relationship where I feel like we are in the daily struggle together. When I first met you, I was instantly impressed and I can honestly say a bit intimidated. I am truly glad God put you in our Journey and feel 100% that we got the best person for us and I am glad you are on our team! Thanks again and have a great day. I just needed to get this off my chest, Its nice to feel that people you associate with really care for you and have your best interest out. That's a great feeling. You are the BEST!

I needed a CPA for my personal taxes. First year things went well. Second year (tax year 2018) I didn't receive my federal tax refund. 4 months went by and I asked Aaron for help (as he did our returns). My husband and I both sent emails he told us to "just wait, the refund will come, you're being impatient". Then it's 5 months since we filed-more emails and calls to Aaron. Now he tells us to just wait, obviously annoyed that we have the nerve to bother him. Emails aren't returned, refuses to answer our calls, messages aren't returned. Finally my husband starts calling the iRS (the reason we have a CPA is because we don't want to call the IRS and have limited tax knowledge) and stumbles across the number for the tax advocate. Long story short when the IRS was originally processing our taxes they ran our baby's social security number and it didn't come up. That's because the social security administration was behind on their data entry and hadn't entered her information yet. Our taxes were flagged as potential fraud. The tax advocate had the IRS pull the returns and process them again. Per the advocate, this never would have been done without her intervention. Supposed to get the refund in August, but still no refund. Another phone consult with the tax advocate. Well, when the IRS started re-processing our return, they found a bunch of mistakes! Aaron made basic math errors on certain lines- then there was a page where everything was shifted one line down! The IRS couldn't figure out what was going on. My husband and the tax advocate were on the phone for 2 hours sorting out all of Aaron's mistakes! On the third attempt the IRS processed our returns and we received our tax refund- in NOVEMBER. A conversation with the tax advocate revealed that Aaron should have contacted the tax advocate when we first spoke with him since he is the CPA that did our taxes. Aaron didn't do anything to help, he wouldn't even return communications. If we had followed his advice to "just wait" our returns wouldn't have ever been processed. Our taxes are complicated which is why we have a professional do them. I don't need someone to do data entry, that's turbo tax. My expectations of a CPA are: taxes to be done correctly, to possess appropriate knowledge, able to give advice regarding tax burden and possible interventions, to help when there are problems, and return emails/voicemails. He did the returns, there was a huge problem and he did not do anything to help. Even the tax advocate was appalled by his handling of the situation. She recommended finding a new tax professional, which we did. read more

Let me start with 10 Stars! When it comes to accounting, hire a Professional! I stumbled on this company by Googling Quickbooks. Little did I know, XERO ACCOUNTING was my saving grace. (They do Quickbooks too) My step father passed away and I was faced with a challenge of accounting for a Trust that was mismanaged. On top of having ADD, it was a major challenge for me in getting the Trust records in order. I found myself lost, the more paperwork I picked up, the more I was overwhelmed. I couldn't handle the task by myself. Then to make life more difficult, my ex husband to be and his brilliant attorney, a bully, just like him (Not brilliant, she's a money sucking vampire, who is costing us both lots of money to finalize what should be a simple divorce...(I wasn't even fighting him) Just goes to show, being misled can cause you a fortune... was having all THE TRUST records subpoenaed, just plain stupidity, as I had nothing to hide either. This really was stressful because it put me in a position that I had to hire an expensive attorney too, to fight his (depressing). Anyway, back to the subject....GALT CPA came through on my deadline, they were so helpful, Jamie Cates, is the Xero Accounting advisor, I am so grateful, she was able to help me organize everything in no time. Beth Symons, the CPA, looked at the stacks of paperwork, as no challenge. I handed them over and she knew where, what, and how. I am truly amazed, as I struggled for many sleepless months, trying to put things together, and in less than 2 months GALT CPA handled it! If you are looking for a simplified accounting, that is truly hassle free, XERO did it for me via GALT CPA. I LOVE THEM, their professionalism, kindness and staff is Top Notch and Second to None! Xero is beautiful! I feel the weight and stress lifted and angels watching over me! The MOST HIGH is truly amazing and HIS DIRECTION brought me here! Yippee!!! Thank you all at GALT CPA!!! read more

I highly recommend Galt CPA. We have been in business for coming up on two years and we were fortunate enough to be introduced to a fantastic CPA firm who has helped us tremendously. They are a prominent team member who holds us accountable for our actions and they have been a strong and supportive advisor who has offered us good advice. We meet formally a couple of times per year to see how our finances are doing. Informally, they have always been quick to respond when I have had a one off question. The insight they offer has been much appreciated and on target. Leah, Beth, Jamie and the rest of their team do their jobs so we can do ours. read more

I switched to Beth because I was not content with the slow response time of my previous accountant. I had heard Beth speak at the Chamber of Commerce a few times over the years and had always been impressed with her knowledge and professionalism. Since becoming her client she has shown a keen attention to detail, hit every deadline, and left no stone un-turned when completing the returns for my 3 businesses in addition to my personal returns. read more

Beth and her staff are amazing. She is a world on knowledge and offers so much more than tax preparation - - which she does well. She is a confident and experienced CPA who is an important part of my business and its success. read more

I have to admit I didn't see the need for an accountant when my husband suggested a few years ago that we talk to Beth at Galt CPA. TurboTax and I had done fine for years. Now, I cannot express how grateful I am for meeting Beth and for the assistance she and her staff have provided us over the past few years. Beth is no nonsense and tells you exactly what you need to do to decrease your tax liability and make the most out of your hard earned income. I've learned, when Beth talks, it would be smart if we listened. No matter what your income, or how easy or complicated your taxes may be, Beth is there to help! read more

I've had the pleasure of dealing with Beth and the folks at Galt CPA for quite a few years and it has been a great experience. Beth and her team are really professional and a pleasure to deal with. I work in Information Technology (IT) so I can relate to having and expert in their field to help you and I am always confident that Beth and her team are up to date on the latest tax changes so that I don't have to be an expert. They also explain the tax code to me in terms I can understand so I know what is going on when we file our Taxes. This is something I try to do in my field, if you've ever had an IT guy over explain an issue then you know what I mean and how important that can be. I've also had the opprotunity to reach out to Beth and her team with question regarding future tax situation and was provided with great information to help me avoid some newbie tax error before I got into a situation that could have caused me to pay more in taxes. If you want to feel comfortable with you're tax prepares then I say get Beth and her team in your corner. read more

Her staff was really friendly and welcoming. Beth's years of knowledge helped explain my situation in terms I could understand! I now have the confidence to know what to do with my ISO's and when. Thank you Beth! read more

Today, we had the pleasure of working with Beth. We stumbled across her name as well as a few others from QuickBooks Online. Beth was the first to respond to us, the first to call us back, and the first to make an effort for our business. At the time, we needed help setting up our Quickbooks for a small business. Beth was able to remote into our computer (we live an hour away), and not only instructed us, but gave us tidbits of advice from an accountant on taxes. Our conference lasted 2.5 hours and it was money WELL spent. We walked away much more knowledgeable and our QB is much easier to navigate now. Thank you Beth for the professionalism and the knowledge you shared with us today. read more
