My husband has been a business owner in Lago vista for 24 years and Mike Gray with gray and associates has been his accountant for all these years. Mike and his firm employees have always been aware of all tax laws and have guided us in the best and accurate and honest direction. We can't thank them enough for the peace that comes from knowing we are in GOOD financial hands. If you need any financial advice or direction, call Mike Gray at Gray and Accociates. I can say that they will listen, and give you the best advice for you, your family, or your business. We are very grateful for Mike Gray and Accociates!!! read more

Do not do business with this organization. I should have never filed with them after meeting Steven in person on March 5th. From the get go he was very unprofessional, unorganized, and said a few questionable things. When asked about my marital status I told him I was filing single, but live with my fiancé. After hearing that I am engaged he made negative comments about getting married and filled me on his divorce...really awkward Here I am 2+ months later with no return in sight. I have reached out to Gray & Associates to confirm that my return was sent to the IRS and no response. I took it upon myself to speak with an agent at the IRS and she informed me that my return was submitted 24 days after my initial meeting. Do not pay the $300 for the terrible service and awful marriage advice. read more

I was told Mr. Gray was an excellent accountant and worth waiting for. I met him in person in Feb. Emailed him regarding my taxes on March 1. Between Mar.1 and April 1 I received ONE email asking a question then he didn't get back to me again until April 5 after I gave him a deadline of 2 days before. He said my deadline was amusing. Mr. Gray may be a good accountant, I would not know at this point, but his customer service is lacking. In the future, a more respectable business practice would be to inform me right away if you cannot take on my return so I have ample time to find someone else. As of right now every accountant I have spoken to is not taking new 2018 returns and I'm going to have to file an extension. I am unwilling to work with Mr. Gray at this point and cannot recommend him to anyone else because of his unreliable communication. read more

We never even got started with Steven Drachenberg. I got a bad feeling about him after my husband shared a few concerns about some comments and jokes Steven Drachenberg made when they first talked about perhaps hiring Steven to prepare our JOINT income tax return. Steven was condescending while sharing a bible verse about "God watching over your mind" at the end of his emails. Emailed me that "I did not understand how he did business" and informed me that he only needed my husband's signature on a letter of agreement because we are married. Went on to inform me that he was under no obligation to supply a document to me and did not need my permission for him to give the document to my husband.... when I had simply asked for a copy of a document. I did not demand the document, I did not tell Steven that he was obligated to provide the document, I did not tell Steven that he needed my permission to provide the document to my husband - I simply asked for a copy of a document that was pertinent to our personal, joint income tax return. He gave my husband a general quote, and when I asked for a quote (not a specific quote, just a general range), he informed me he could not give me a quote as he did not have the documents he needed from my husband to prepare a quote. I talked with two other accountants and both were very considerate, patient, professional, and took the lead in asking for both my husband's and my contact information to keep all of us clearly informed and participating in decisions made. Per Steven: "[You] do not understand how my business works." I think I understand how his business works, and we chose another accountant and are working calmly and efficiently with him. read more

My "take" on Mr Michael Gray: Courteous, Considerate, Conscientious. -- A well satisfied new Client read more

They are the absolute best! I have been a personal and business client for many years & I maintain that they are the best money my business spends each year. They're up to date on all tax laws, changes, and also offer corporate structuring/recordkeeping for our corporation. Like all good CPA offices, they're busy, so don't wait until the last minute and expect them to do your taxes in a day. Get them your info early & they're well worth the wait. I can't recommend them highly enough for both personal and business matters. read more

In these days of "customer service" having become nearly extinct, where knowledge, trust and professionalism are suspect, when dealing with a tax system that few understand is the standard, I encourage you to make an appointment at Gray & Associates, P.C. in Lago Vista. In this small, highly professional, sincerely friendly office, you can leave your worries of tax returns and financial planning at the door. Gray & Associates need not be Lago Vista's best kept secret. Locally, we know them well and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. Why would you sit in a booth at a convenience store across from a person who may have just completed a crash course in tax preparation when you could be sitting with a highly skilled, experienced professional in a cozy office in Lago Vista? Hand your personal and/or business files across a desk and sip a cup of gormet coffee and know that you have given over your tax issues to an experienced professional. I know, I was there this week. read more
