If you have a lot of time to waste then this company may be good for you. They make it appear like…read morethey have all these great services, & online tools etc and yet fail miserably short when it comes to customer service & technical support! I have spent more than an 1-1/4 hours trying to get technical support to assist with some minor changes i did not know how to make. After many transfers, talking with people who were "willing" but lasked the skiil and wanted to just try and muddle through trying to figure it out. (BIG waste of my valuable time) What i expect and pay for is to work with a company with knowledgable people to make this process, easy, efficient, and accurate. If you are looking for this then be careful. I had also worked with their Insurance arm which touts itself as one big Paychex familty-NOT After one year and many things not being done as we requested we went somewhere else and are pleased with did. As a business owner my time is too valuable to deal with this stuff. On an upside note the Client Services Payroll specialist was very good.

They would not let me leave a no star review thats the only reason they have a 1 star…read more Concerns- Call in 4 times a months to fix issues or constantly ask them in they can do their 1 job - Run payroll..... As a small business this is a waste of time and resources. (They act as if running payroll is a favor) There phone system is a joke you are assigned a "payroll specialist" that holds the keys to your account that you will NEVER hear back from. All calls route to their voicemail unless you manipulate the call directory to talk with a representative that can help. After solving issues with system and representative if you get through to someone the issue you "fixed" is fixed that one time and not updated or changed permanently I will state that after you do get a repersenative on the line the staff is nice and accommodating and wants to help but in most cases cannot. They are just not equipped with the right tools to do their job. The company structure is awful making the entire experiance horrible.

Unprofessional. Spoke directly to Ms Egan about my taxes and payroll before dropping all of my…read moredocuments off to have my taxes done. Spoke to her at length and it seemed a good fit. After weeks of not hearing anything from them, with quarterly payroll deadline looming I contacted them. The gal I spoke to knew nothing about the payroll portion and advised that I have someone else do it. Ms Egan was not available. Next I received an email about additional information they needed to complete my taxes. Several weeks later, after they'd had all of my documents for several months, got a call telling me pick everything up-they couldn't do it, with no explanation. Like I said, unprofessional. When I retrieved my documents there were sticky notes indicating calls, messages and emails stating that I'd never responded - complete fallacy. Worst place ever. If you are considering using these services I would advise against it.

If I could give this CPA's business' a zero that would be right on the money! Charged too much for…read moreincompetent work and the poor "customer service" that leaves a lot to be desired. For someone who claims she is an experienced CPA she made a lot of rookie mistakes on my Tax Returns. She is impossible to talk to because she gets defensive and starts name calling. People that are on the losing end of a discussion start "name calling" to distract from the topic at hand. It's embarrassing; She is ridiculous! She takes NO responsibility for her lack of knowledge and ineffectiveness in her ability to prepare Tax Returns. If you like giving away your money away, then use this CPA business. She will take your money and then some depending on how many mistakes she makes and will forward the costs of her mistakes off to you, as her customers.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Avoid this accountant at all costs…read more My family hired William Mease of Master Accounting and Tax Service to help with my elderly mother's taxes. She is in her 70s, has dementia, and needed a professional who could patiently and competently navigate the process. Instead, we encountered an accountant who was lazy, dismissive, and shockingly unprofessional. From the very beginning, Bill failed to read or absorb the information I provided, forcing me to repeat myself multiple times. Rather than listening or problem-solving, he fired back condescending emails filled with attitude. At one point, when pressed for guidance, his response was: "There is nothing further I can do for you. You will need to find a tax preparer that doesn't know what they are doing in order to get the return filed. Good luck!" That's right -- instead of doing his job, he essentially told my family to go hire someone "who doesn't know what they are doing" if we wanted the return completed. What kind of professional speaks to clients like this? This wasn't a one-off slip in tone -- it was a pattern of arrogance, laziness, and outright neglect. Bill showed zero compassion for my mother's condition, no willingness to problem-solve, and no respect for our time or circumstances. He seemed more interested in blaming us than actually providing solutions. An accountant's role is to help clients through complicated situations, not abandon them when things aren't simple. Bill made it clear that he doesn't have the patience, professionalism, or empathy to handle real-world clients with real-world challenges. Prospective clients: take this review as a warning. If you entrust your sensitive financial matters to William Mease, expect rudeness, blame-shifting, and zero accountability. There are plenty of capable, compassionate accountants in Arizona -- do not waste your time or money here. EDIT: I appreciate that Mr. Mease took the time to respond, but notice what he doesn't do: he never denies sending the unprofessional tirades I quoted above, including telling my family to "find a tax preparer that doesn't know what they are doing" and ending with "good luck!" That's because he did say them, in writing, and his response here conveniently sidesteps his own words and tone. Throughout this entire process, my messages to him were cordial and respectful, even as I had to repeat myself multiple times. His replies, on the other hand, were consistently dismissive, combative, and unhelpful. The problem wasn't that he insisted on accurate information -- any competent accountant should. The problem was his failure to communicate, failure to read the documents provided, and his repeated choice to lash out with condescending emails instead of guiding us toward solutions. Professionalism isn't just about refusing to "compromise integrity." It's also about having the patience, empathy, and communication skills to work with clients in difficult situations. Bill demonstrated none of these qualities. His responses showed the emotional intelligence of a toddler -- reactive, defensive, and incapable of constructive dialogue. So yes, I absolutely stand by my original review: if you're looking for a professional who will handle your financial matters with competence and respect, look elsewhere.

I had a nightmare of an experience with a different tax service that wouldn't answer my phone calls…read moreonce I dropped off my tax documents in March and waited until the last minute to file and fired me as a client the day of April 18th even though they promised to file an extension if it was needed...leaving me without my original documents and nothing done the day everything was due. Luckily I had made physical copies before dropping off my documents to that other service and I found these guys on Yelp. Evelyn was very friendly and booked me an appointment right away and offered their help to file an extension and prepare my taxes at a later date. Bill saw me in person hours later to explain everything and what to expect. When he saw how simple my filing was he offered to do it right then and there so it would all be resolved. Despite hitting a few roadblocks with getting all the information needed from me, he patiently helped me figure it all out and ended up getting it all filed. After a horrific experience elsewhere and this office's kind and quick service, I will be returning here in the future. Instead of being insulted and ignored, I was treated with kindness and respect even though I am not a big money account. Bill managed to do in an hour what my last Tax Service couldn't get done in a whole month. Thank you!!!!!
