I am a recent college graduate, and this is my first time filing taxes for my new job. Mr. Spencer was great in helping me to understand how the process works, what I needed, and gave me advice for next tax year. I am confident and prepared for next year, which should make the process easier for he and I! read more

As I have said previously in some of my reviews, when I moved here last year, I had to find new everything! New doctors, new car wash :-), new pharmacy and of course, a new accountant/tax preparer. I searched via Google high and low. Calling to try to get an appointment, asking about pensions, write offs, etc, when finally, one company finally returned my call and set me up with an appointment right away! Mr Spencer was very patient with me because I had many questions and issues with late filings, multiple state taxes, etc. He didn't rush me but answered each concern thoroughly and without judgment. If he was unsure of the answer, because I came from the D.C. area, he was truthful about it but still took the time to do some research and find the answer for me. This is what you want from your accountant, patience and integrity. So, Mr. Spencer completed my taxes last year and has already got to work on my taxes for this year! Such a relief to find someone dependable and reasonably priced! read more

Our previous CPA / tax preparer unfortunately retired. She was brilliant, professional, personable, and proactive. So we did some research and interviewed several CPAs. Mr. Spencer had great reviews and we also wanted support a Black Owned Business. So we reached out and asked several questions and he spoke a good game and said that he would represent us if issues arose with the IRS and that he understood tax law and that he would look at our previous year taxes. Well all of that was tested and failed. Once he prepared our taxes he sent them to us via email and said if we had questions to let him know. Otherwise we could mail in our forms. He didn't offer an explanation or summary of his findings, he didn't offer alternatives, and he didn't even look at our previous year taxes until we brought them up again. He was not thorough and we had to ask for a call to go over everything and even that was dicey. Then we had a hiccup with our taxes processing and he told us to call the IRS rather than him checking. Now during are original call with him he said he would represent us with the IRS, well then he came back and said his fee only included preparing the taxes. It was very impersonable experience and hands-off approach. This was more like a fly by night feel, rather than someone who wants to make sure you are getting what you need. We will not be referring or doing business again with Mr. Spencer in the future. It was a complete waste of money and actually what we paid our previous brilliant CPA. We now are looking for another CPA to look at what he submitted. If you're a business owner or professional with properties and you take your taxes seriously, this is not what you wwant. This is more for people who want quick look experience. read more
