He turned all three years around in a couple of weeks and I am heading into retirement with my taxes current! (Maybe an odd thing to be happy about, but IRS and I have a checkered past). With my previous accountant I always felt we were at the bottom of her list of "more important" clients and usually took months to do our return. With Eric we felt like the "more important" client.

Claudia went above and beyond to research and find the correct tax rules applicable to my situation. All the work is done via online platform and everything was very smooth. Her response is always prompt (including the initial inquiries). The fee is extremely reasonable compared to other firms. I of course recommend others to review well the information prepared by A&C and ask questions as necessary. I had some exchanges with the team on the appropriate tax rules to be applied. The situation was resolved eventually and I appreciate the attention to the details. I highly recommend working with her and the team.

A couple hours before the meeting, I got an email saying I could only do a 15-minute phone call. I further got a phone call about two hours before the meeting from Mike Davidow. He was abrasive on the phone, and stated their consultation fee was $400 for half an hour. He kept speaking over me and complained. All poor service. Suggest they start by improving their website and not yelling at people over the phone. Don't recommend this firm.

I called in in need of my payroll taxes reduced as I knew I was paying too much per paycheck. I was booked for an appointment super quick., Madina realized I'm in Maryland and opted to do a virtual meeting. She actually gave me a great discount and the price was way below what I thought I would pay. They advised it would be $55 for 15 mins. They stuck to exactly what they promised. In addition, I had quite a few follow-up questions and some adjustments had to be made after my initial virtual meeting. They didn't inconvenience me by making me meet again, Madina got things taken care of and only called me to advise that my questions were resolved. She offered to meet again for free if I wanted to speak to the CPA again. I was not ever charged for additional work or time to re-review the questions I had. They fixed every single concern/issue. My payroll taxes are now reduced. I'm thrilled and grateful for the outcome of using this CPA company.The best part, Madina did it with the most gracious and kind attitude. Kindness is for sure her super power. I would recommend this company 10 times over! If you're thinking about using this company, reach out to Madina!!! She will get you taken care of promptly, kindly, and handle all of your needs/concerns without missing a beat.

During my first appointment with Make my Day I was met initially with an the CPA's assistant who…read moretook all my forms (which they had asked for) and talked to me for some time. This was weird because over the phone the appointment was said to be made with the CPA herself. So just be sure when you make an appointment that you know who it's with and what will occur. The assistant after looking at all my tax papers gave me a quote for $350- 375, then a quote for $450- 475, then a quote for $550- 575, then was told that I would you would need to charge by the hour to look at one thing. I'm a small business owner, and they advertise specializing in small bushiness, so I'm not really understanding that why I would need to pay her to research something like that. For each increase in price I was told that it was because she didn't notice that my taxes would require "additional work" in certain areas. She gave me the first quote after looking at all of my papers and no new information was provided the first quote to the then open ended quote of apparently I'm guessing $550 + hourly, but we don't know how many hours? Not a great way to run a business in my opinion. I liked the CPA but when it comes down to it they're going to have to run their business like a business- they can't increase the price 4 times during a meeting. They should be able to read the forms, ask some questions, give an estimate. (Edit: I don't have a ton of "issues" as the buisness owner below says, I'm just a small business owner. In fact the first increase was because "they didn't know they needed a schedule c" even I know that and I wasn't pressuring them for a quick estimate, I was happy to answer any questions). Also, the office setting is not professional. It has a really bare bones feeling. We met in the lobby (I would a private setting) and sofa was super uncomfortable, painfully so. They say that people can come in and DIY taxes with someone helping to answer questions but the little cubicles were totally empty while I was in the office- probably because this DIY area had absolutely nothing to offer- they didn't even have coffee! How can someone focus on taxes without coffee!!? (Edit: yes I brought the end of my coffee at first but did need more and didn't know they had any- I couldn't see it, I did look for it).

His responses to the issues showed clear understanding of the tax help I needed. He confirmed that the office worked with personal tax filings and was taking clients, and he scheduled an appointment for me. I organized the relevant records and arrived on time for the appointment. It was just past lunch hour and Joshua was not there. CPA Sherry Hsu and the accountant (whose name I missed) seemed surprised to see me and utterly unprepared for a meeting. After I recapitulated the help needed, Sherry Hsu said "we're really busy; this is tax season." (Duh...) She seem to utterly miss what I had told her about the tax issues. For example, I said that before I retired, my husband and I had used TurboTax for years and then needed to turn to a CPA after we had to deal with required distributions from our IRAs, as well as estimated taxes and state refunds. As if in response, she announced, "we don't do Turbotax." Hmm.
