I have been using Padgett bookkeeping and tax services for over two years now. The first year was…read morethe toughest as Joe was very hands on to get our business into shape in terms of accounting, tracking, and an up to date monthly profit and loss statement for our company. Once he knew our systems, what our normal procedures were it is now smooth sailing. When doing our expenses for filing our business taxes he already has the information as he is doing our accounting books as well. Very friendly and super fast to reply back to phone calls, texts, and emails. Highly recommend.

In subsequent years, all I had to do was provide that year's numbers and the preparation of my returns was seamless.

We moved to Florida last year, but my husband's Key Bank checking account remains in NY, because he…read morereceives his pensions and social security as well as pays bills through that account. Working on our estate plan, one step was to make our bank accounts POD, payable upon death, which is a simple beneficiary designation. There are no branches where we live, and we called, spoke to supervisors, and engaged in online chat, and they said we had to go to a branch or no dice, not even with copies of driver's licenses and notarization. Called our branch, left multiple messages, no one calls back. Discovered a Key Bank private banking office near us, and the 800-KEY2YOU person called them to ask if they'd accept this at their office, which they might have suggested initially, but we had to figure it out. We sat down with an investment banker who called the Halfmoon branch, and it was still exceedingly difficult and took days. In this day and age, there is no business that can't be conducted remotely, with notaries, copies of licenses, social security numbers, and more, even if it has to be original copies through the mail. Someone needs to explain this to Key Bank, which has no solution for anyone who moved and are not in proximity to a branch. By the way, apparently this issue is specific to Key in New York, not any other state. AVOID KEY BANK.

Terrible bank with a super rude staff. I personally do not bank with KB(thank god), I have always…read morebanked with credit unions, but a family member does hold accounts and investments with Key Bank and have been excellent customers for 30+ years and you would think they would treat someone cashing a check on their behalf with some respect. They charge a $7.50 fee to cash a check if you're not a customer (IF they do have enough cash on hand to cash a check, they could not cash my check $20k check but regardless this is a complete racket). I recommend if you bank with Key Bank now to look into local credit unions such as Adirondack Trust, SEFCU or any local credit union. They all offer better rates, better accounts, excellent customer service and more local branches. They also don't nickel and dime your friends or employees who may need to cash a check by charging them a $7.50 fee to cash a check, I can only image what other small fees are in Key Banks small print. Stay away from Key Bank-just awful!

Terrible experience with GTM Payroll Services. I paid GTM to handle payroll for my nanny, and I…read moreended up owing far too much money to the State due to GTM not having the necessary Tax IDs. I have seen at least one other review citing this same issue. Yes, GTM did send me two very inconspicuous emails regarding the missing tax IDs. However, GTM sent me dozens if not hundreds of emails over the same period, so I did not even notice the relevant emails. When someone finally did contact me personally by email (note that nobody ever called me) they were not able to resolve my issue. In retrospect, working with GTM was a waste of money - I do not recommend their services.
