I had my State and Federal income taxes done today. Thank You, Greg and Ricki ( sorry if I spelled your name wrong). As a first time client, I found them to be very professional and very personable. Their fee was also very reasonable. I would highly recommend Gandrud Financial Services for your tax prep needs. read more

Excellent first meeting with Greg! He provided me insight as to the best way to file, and was up to date on all the recent tax changes. We would highly recommend having an initial meeting with Greg, he was courteous and professional and very willing to help. Thanks Greg! read more

Great experience! Mr. Gandrud called only few min after my quote request on Yelp. He spent about 20 min on the phone with me discussing my questions, which was very helpful and knowledgable for my business. Would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for tax services. read more

I was asked to change my review by Mr. Gandrud and he feels horrible and crooked are too mean. Therefore,....Extremely unethical!!!If I could give 0 stars I would. My friend had recommended Greg to me. She talked so highly about him and that she had referred many people. She said that he charges her only $80 to do her taxes and he spends hours helping her get her maximum refund. Now she has been going to him a long time so I did expect to pay a little more but he sounded great. I made an appointment for 45 min. By the end of my time he still hadn't filed my teenage sons return and didn't have all of my deductions in. He said I could just pay him for a full hour which was $185 and he would do my sons refund and I could email him the remainder of my deductions. He then proceeded to send me multiple emails asking for more information which is great except for that fact that all of his information needed could have been asked in 1 email. He then proceeded to send me another invoice for $175 charging me for each email that was exchanged. Why should I pay for his multiple emails when he could have completed it in one. I am so incredibly mad!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY GOING TO GANDRUD FINANCIAL!!! read more

Greg did a great job on filing two separate state income tax returns as well as my federal tax return under 30 minutes. He took his time going over my documents and explained which deductions were the best suited for the returns. read more

My friend Timothy referred me because my accountant of many years passed away suddenly. I was very grateful that Gandrud Financial could fit me in so that I did not have to have an extension. Mr. Gandrud looked at my returns from past years and took the time to find me some deductions that my old accountant had never asked me about. So, I think the tax savings more than paid for my preparation fee. read more
