I was looking for an accountant for my startup and when I entered office, there was NOT A SOUL in…read moresight, no one in reception area. So I left, before i could get to my vehicle two ladies came out of business and told me to come back and they were sorry that no one was in reception area to greet customers. I told them that I was looking for an accountant for help with my quarterlies and various things, but that I would be doing the majority of my accounting through Quickbooks. I asked about seeing what services they could provide me and I was told that all the accountants were in a Webinar and they could not get to give me a service consultation until next week. On Monday in fact. Today is Tuesday, so 6 more days and i could discuss their services. So I gave my name and phone number and left..so far so good, sort of..Ok the firm itself is an Endorsed Local Provider (ELP) of Dave Ramsey. I am a big fan of Dave Ramsey and his principals. I just received a call from the CPA office, a mere TWO hours after I left and they confirmed that the appointment was still on for 9 am Monday, HOWEVER, they would charge me a $150 dollar fee just to talk to a CPA to see what the costs of their services are and if I even would consider them as a provider. Any business that will charge a person to just walk in ask them what their services are and what the cost would be is just plain crazy. There are Lawyers, Doctors, all kinds of business' that give out free consultations. I only wanted to know what their costs were, but they are asking me to pay $150 for that, that is ridiculous. My advice, is to stay away from this place,, If I could give it zero stars I would. I am also contacting Ramsey Business Solutions and inform them about these practices from one of his ELP's.
