Additionally, they have problems maintaining employees and have had to work with new people every single year. When we go in for very specific Quickbooks work, they always have "billed us" for additional time they needed to review our Quickbooks. At the end of the day, if you are a SMB business, you are probably better off going with another CPA firm.....who will treat you with a bit more respect and understands what it's like to be a small business and will treat you accordingly. Additionally, working with some of the people there is sometimes good and sometimes bad. The main reason things are bad, is b/c their is a Senior Manager who lacks any "bedside manner" and will make you feel stupid for asking him questions about your tax return. Each year we have also had mistakes that they didn't account for...i.e. they forgot to include our benefits as tax deductible items and they left off the fact that we pre-paid our taxes. These were both mistakes that we found.....which ultimately left us wondering what else have they missed???? The partner that brought us to the firm left shortly after she "sold us" on working with them.

I cannot recommend this forensic accounting firm based on my experience…read more I retained them for forensic accounting work and paid substantial fees, even though much of the work product required significant corrections on my part. Despite my concerns about the quality of the work, I paid those invoices to avoid further disputes. The final straw was an invoice for approximately $4,500 to perform what was presented as an interest calculation. Out of curiosity, I later tested the same calculation using a modern AI tool, which completed it almost instantly. Whether one uses AI or traditional methods, I found it impossible to justify a $4,500 charge for that task. I disputed the invoice and, as a compromise, offered to pay 10% ($450), which I did. Rather than recognizing the legitimate billing concern, the firm continued insisting that the full amount was owed. My experience left me with the impression that billing took priority over delivering value. I expected expertise, efficiency, and professional judgment. Instead, I felt I paid premium rates for work that required my own corrections, followed by an attempt to collect what I considered an excessive fee for a relatively straightforward calculation. Others considering this firm should carefully review engagement terms, scrutinize invoices, and ask detailed questions about how work will be performed and billed before proceeding.

The Clem Collaborative

1.5

I would NOT recommend this firm based on my experience…read more I hired The Clem Collaborative for preparation of my 2024 tax return and paid a retainer after completing onboarding and providing all requested documentation. When I received the draft return for review, it contained serious errors, including an incorrect Social Security number and misspellings of my legal and business names. These are not minor issues.. Due to these errors and a lack of confidence in the accuracy of the work, I terminated services prior to filing. Instead of acknowledging the mistakes, the firm disputed my concerns and later implied that I requested unethical or fraudulent changes to my return, which is completely untrue. THEN ASKED FOR MORE MONEY! Despite the return never being filed and containing material errors, I was still pressured for additional payment. Overall, the experience reflected poor quality control, defensiveness when issues were raised, and unprofessional handling of a billing dispute. STAY AWAY! THESE PEOPLE AREN'T EVEN LICENSED CPA'S

Charles Foster Staffing & Executive Search

Divine Intervention!!!! If you don't believe in Miracles, you will after this. 1 month after…read morerelocating to Charleston, I went to Charles Foster for my job search. I was also interviewing with other employment agencies and companies so my eggs were not all in one basket. I knew I had to get a job and I wasn't standing around with a nail file in my hands. When Joy Goldsmith at Charles Foster contacted me, I had been employed by another agency by 1 day. I was selling houses in the 500k to 1.5 million dollar range in Mt. Pleasant SC...I was a bit of a NJ Snob so I didn't want to go back to hustling. Moving forward, 2yrs to the day after our first encounter, Joy received my resume and called me again. The same company from 2yrs ago showed interest in me and wanted me to work for them. I was SHOCKED!!! Being in a Hostile and extremely negative, immature, unprofessional, unethical, and emotionally stagnant and economically depressing job, this was a welcoming Blessing. It all happened on Michaelmas, and he is my favorite Archangel. Charles Forster has been working with prestigious companies nationwide since 1969. The recruiters all have their specialties (Engineering, Education, Sales, Production, Information Technology, Aviation, ETC) which facilitates in placement of potential candidates based on college education, military, years of experience and career. I called Charles Foster and gave them my email address. I filled out an online application, took a battery of Microsoft office tests ( Excel, Word, Outlook, Powerpoint and a problem solving test-50 questions in 12 minutes, I finished only 45), went on 2 interviews to meet potential employers and a Typing test. The following day ( 9/30-today), I took a drug test, criminal background check, credit check, DMV test ( she told me about my long list of speeding tickets from yrs ago in NJ). I am loving the screening process. True to Charles Foster's word and professionalism, My skill set was paired with their best client which met my needs. Salary is good, location is awesome and there is upward mobility...I am extremely happy, Grateful, Thankful, Blessed, and Humbled. I think that was a world record for me, a new job within 4 hours of resigning. I had no plan, nothing waiting but I had trust in God and I had a gut instinct that Charles Foster could help me. God is Good. Put him first and everything in life just FLOWS. I recommend this company 1000 percent!!!!!
