Thanks so much to Sam and his team. They're great!

We were disappointed that Jason was repeatedly unprepared for our meetings so we switched to a new accountant in 2020. In 2021 we both received notices from the IRS regarding errors on our 2019 tax returns. I reached out to Jason for assistance but he merely sent me the worksheet he used and expected me to deal with the IRS on my own. Really?? I hired our current accountant to assist with corresponding with the IRS and getting them the information they required. We finally resolved our issues with the IRS earlier this year - no thanks to Russell CPAs.

At first this accounting firm seemed like a good option to try: established in 1990, long-standing…read morewithin the community, and close by. However they do not seem to want business. I called to set up a phone consultation with an individual named Jeff, at least this was according to the receptionist that answered. Of course, I was not called on the date and time this supposed phone consultation was set up. I let a few days go by, thinking maybe they were just backlogged during tax season. They never ended up calling as originally promised. I then called their office again to see what the problem was but got a voicemail during their business hours and was never called back despite leaving a message. It is understandable if an accounting business is busy during tax season, but don't waste a potential customer's time by setting up an appointment and not following through.

I called Burt Douglass at Douglass & Co. after a friend and fellow business owner very highly…read morerecommended him. From the secretary to the in-house bookkeeper, everyone I've dealt with at this firm is super friendly and professional. Even better, Burt analyzed our company finances and recommended several strategies for reducing our tax liability (while staying completely within the law). The savings we've received since then have paid for his very reasonable fees many times over. Plus, Burt is a hoot to talk to. I love the way he "translates" complicated tax concepts into language even the most tax-illiterate (like me) can comprehend. We will definitely be using Douglass & Co for a long time.

We had a great experience with David our first year - 2nd year had some hiccups in communication,…read morebut overall it was fine. However year 3 was a nightmare, that has solidified we will never be back and will not recommend his services. I went to his office where he went over all the paperwork I had. On my way out, I asked the receptionist to pay and she said I could when I picked up hard copies - which is weird, because the previous year I all but begged for hard copies. So I said ok, and left. I sent numerous e-mails and called to confirm that our return was filed - finally I got a "yes". Fast forward 4 months and I still have no refund. I call and e-mail several times again and finally get a "we were waiting on payment"...TO WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED AN INVOICE. I was told I would pay upon hardcopy pickup. So I paid right then, and had my refund about a week later - so we were waiting for 4 months for NOTHING. Getting a copy of my returns was another circus - I was fine with a PDF or a hardcopy, but wanted SOMETHING (don't most people want a copy of their tax return?). It again was a month long process of calls and e-mails that went unanswered and finally I received a PDF copy. Overall, the systems in place here SUCK. Nobody has any idea what's needed for the next step, and the communication is even worse. Additionally, their pricing isn't even a bargain. For a good service, I'm willing to pay, but not when I have to chase people for months to do their job. Go anywhere else, save yourself the time.

Update. As mentioned in my previous review David has (past tense) always been proactive, promptly…read morereactive and client-centric. I have no idea was has transpired in 2021 for David to make a near 180 degree turn for the worse from years past. Leading up to an October 15 filing David's reponse times to phone, text and email were lagging at best. I was satisfied with, at mininum, getting a response and figured that my simple return would be easy enough to file on time. In retrospect I should have been more insistent with David. Current status: David missed the October 15th deadline after claiming he had all my information and that he had indeed filed on time. My taxes were filed on October 21. There is now a late fee for filing post October 15 deadline. Further my return was rejected. I found this out because I called the IRS on November 19 to personally inquire about my filing. The IRS stated that my preparer, David Airola, would have received the rejection notice shortly after the October 21 filing. I heard nothing from David. I called David on November 19. I spoke live with David and I presented him with the fix that the IRS recommended. Unfortunately I had to jump into a work meeting. I told him I would call him back which I did. He did not answer. It was the Friday before the Thanksgiving holiday. No response from David at all during that week. I called him again and left a pointed voicemail on November 29. I sent him a detailed email as well. As of the writing of this updated review I have heard nothing from David. Again, I'm saddened as to whatever has transpired with David that his client service and follow-up have taken a turn for the worse. My return is not a complex one. I pay David's rate for filing a individual (non-corporate return). His fee is higher than most. I expect service commesurate with the fee that I paid (on time and in full). The information I have provided him with is straight forward. He has even stated to me that my return is, "easy enough to take care of". It's possible that because I am not some large corporate client that I am last on his list. That's only a guess.

My husband had always gathered the information for Greg to do our taxes - I had nothing to do with it and it seemed overwhelming to me.

I didn't get all of the paperwork to him until the last minute but he managed to get the taxes filed in plenty of time. He's always pleasant, understanding and helpful.

She was very pleasant and said she would put me on hold and see if he was available. She said he would only pick up the phone if he had time to do the consultation now. Otherwise, she would get back on the phone and schedule a consultation with him at a later date. Mr. Boeger was able to pick up the phone. It seems as if he works more with corporations. I gave him a rundown of my situation. My husband and myself file married filing separately. 1040s, w-2 income with sole proprietorship busineses. Mr. Boeger asked if my husband and I have pre or post nuptual agreement. We don't. I told him this. Wasnt sure how this related to our taxes. I asked Mr. Boeger for further clarification. He told me to look this up as he didnt have time to go further into this and he had a pile of corporation tax returns he had to deal with by April 15th. He back pedaled offering to do a consultation next week on Tuesday or Wednesday. Please take personal taxes off of your description. I dont have time to waste calling your business if you cant assist me. Thank you! I have amended my review based your response.
