She took time to get to know my situation and has always been on the lookout for ways I can save $$. She really knows her stuff and to this day, I look forward to my annual visit to her office. And I HATE number crunching in general, so this is like you looking forward to your next visit to the dentist... Even at tax crunch time, Liz and her staff are responsive and I can tell you that, you won't get that anywhere else. Now let me talk about price. Is she "cheap"? Nope. Is she crazy expensive? Nope. You know that sweet spot where you pay a fair price, but still get great service, and you walk away wanting to go tell a few friends about them? That is Liz and Harper Advisory Group.

I found Harper Advisory Group a couple of years ago. I was having issues with some old taxes and…read moredid a search in Howard County for someone that could help me. I looked at several websites and then finally stumbled on Liz's. I reviewed her website and read through everything and was really impressed with what I saw. What stood out to me the most is the information on her homepage. Here is one thing... "I am not your fathers tax accountant. This is not a cold business of just numbers and law. I've spent a lifetime building relationships and working for the finest people I know, our clients." When I read that I knew that this person had a heart and compassion and would be able to help me. As I mentioned that was several years ago and I've gone to her every year since. Liz is kind, she is helpful, and she digs in and gets to know you so she can do the best job for you. But most importantly she's uber smart about tax law and she rolls up her sleeves and gets to work. I highly recommend her... And have to many people!

12-14-2016 Dear Mr…read more Dutterer ~ I really hoped that my review(s) would get you to rise up and rectify the damage that you've done. Today I found out it's even worse. Trusting that you sent the corrected CA FTB (after the initial mistake, for which you did email a PDF, so I trusted that you mailed it too ) but apparently you never mailed to CA FTB. Now this means that I am indeed out the $8400+ which was caused by your faulty filing, as the statue of limitations for refunds is over in 8 days and it takes 30 days to process, even if I "overnighted" the corrected return. I was able to get $4k+ back myself, of the entire $12k taken from my bank account by the IRS & CA FTB, which your erroneous filing of a 2012 on a 2014 form. Please refund my payment of $500. I won't charge you for pain & suffering. This fiasco almost resulted in me being homeless. My apartment complex has a 5-day grace period before the embarrassing eviction process. Fortunately I have friends and family who care enough to not let this happen. But I don't understand how you can have over 30-5star reviews on Thumbtack. You must have paid them. Please restore you honor and I will gladly give you a better review. Had you only communicated, this would not have caused such damage. 3-13-2016 I would appreciate a refund. Despite so many great ratings on Thumbtack, my tax return is still not resolved, eight months after a faulty filing. As a result, the IRS withdrew over $12k from my account and I had to do the leg work to get it back, which is still a nightmare. Daniel doesn't return emails or phone calls. Has had one reason or another, but really, eight months? Such a disappointment. Please resolve this, Daniel, and I'll revise this review. Posting on your FB page hasn't inspired you to help me, so I'm trying Yelp. I cannot continue with my tax returns until this is resolved, and I would like you to fix this and refund my $500 for the on-going frustration of having you as my CPA.
