My husband often wonders how I ever survived before I met him. Besides my absolute refusal to get…read moreoil changes for my car (13 oil changes in 11 years!), I also loved to do my own taxes. At 8pm on 4/15. Without a calculator (and I have the math skills of a pre-schooler). Heh. Living on the edge. That's me. But then we moved in together and the first year of him watching me blithely scribbling random numbers on my 1040EZ form caused him to weep copiously. By the second year, he physically wrangled my tax forms from me...and brought it to CHC CPAs. Don't tell him this, but this is one of the *very few* times he was right. Things I've learned by having a real professional work on your taxes: 1) You get more money back...even when they don't let claim your pet bunny as a dependent (hey, do you know how much bunnies cost?!? I think I should get the same tax deduction as a kid! Especially as my bunny won't be a drain on our social resources. I'm just sayin'!). 2) You save yourself a couple hours arguing with your husband if I can "fake" not living in MoCo and not pay the higher tax rate...I mean, we live in Gaithersburg...that's *practically* Frederick County (with the lower tax rate), right??? 3) You don't make your significant other cry when you proudly proclaim that the Fed is going to give you a $1,335,830 refund...because you screwed up the decimal point thingie. By *A LOT*. Oops. Heh. Yeah, I know. I am the most highly functioning ditz on the planet. But here's the OTHER awesomething thing about CHC. Unlike other tax prep places (like, H&R Block, not that there's anything wrong with them), CHC *ALSO* does financial planning.SOOOO...when you get back that super awesome refund...you can INVEST IT...which CHC does as well. So in a nutshell: unless you're Warren Buffet or Mitt Romney...call up CHC. Just like you would call a plumber to fix your drain...call a professional to do your taxes! YAY!

Even as an Asian, I'm horrible at math and accounting (video games too...sigh) so I knew it was time to find an accountant. I've been working with Jonathan Cohen as my CPA for the last 4 years and it's been simply fantastic. I had a complicated (or what I thought was complicated) situation when I first became a client (multiple jobs/ living/working different states/trying to start a sole proprietorship) but Jon made it a breeze! He is extremely easy to work with as he is friendly, professional and incredibly knowledgable. Any time I have a question, he is very quick to reply via email or phone and always explained it in a way that I would understand him. I highly recommend Jon (or any of the other associates at CHC) looking for help with tax prep- they're the best.

They called our pharmacy 4 or 5 times saying that…read moreif we choose their service, they will get us $300k to $3m in new business filling up prescriptions for Federal Prisons and VA facilities. They said that once they will set us up in governement systems, we will get the prescriptions emailed to our systems automatically and all will have to do is ship or deliver the medicine. They pressured us to pay them the same day $5,000 saying that if we don't they have 3 more pharmacies lined up to sign next day, but if we do pay, we will get 6 month exclusivity. They entered our pharmacy name and email into the government payment system and local state system (that anyone can do themselves in a few minutes) and now we get daily spam to bid on light bulbs, microscops, military flags, and so on. We got zero sales in 6 month months and they refused to provide any refund. Their agreement also states that you waver your rights to sue them and you won't get any refunds from them for 5 years. Basically they charge you 5k to enter your name into a database. Wish we would off taken our time to read the review on this scammer before paying them and using our money!!! Hope FBI would investigate them for this fraud!!!!

My 30 min consultation with Katherine was really helpful! I learned formatting tips and ways to beef up my resume by adding a header, summary, and core competencies and creating sectional dividers. She recommended outcome-based bullet points that highlight the benefits and quantify the results rather than a laundry list of tasks. Katherine was friendly and thorough and even had enough time to quickly proofread my hubby's resume. It was really nice to get an extra set of eyes! While the $299 starter package seems a bit pricey, it's a good deal considering that you are equipped with the A team of an interviewer, drafter, and editor. They will rewrite your resume and can fine tune and belt out those bullet points. While my resume could use a few tweaks, the starter package is a great option if you're looking for a resume overhaul without doing all the guess work. I found the resume consultation surprisingly useful. Would highly recommend it and consider the packages!
