They were very professional, and saved me a lot of money in taxes by utilizing their immense knowledge of the tax code to maximize my legitimate deductions. They offered sound tax advise for me to save on taxes going forward and instructed me on how to increase my withholdings so I wouldn't owe large sums in the future. They provide your taxes in a bound portfolio that is very impressive to say the least. I have a friend who uses them and purchased the audit protection and was audited, and he said it was a life saver by having them in his corner. After looking up the number to make my appointment this year, I saw they only had one review and it was a bad one. I felt the need to give credit where it's due.

To be fair, he was professional initially and would respond to our questions more promptly. However all of the sudden he started being very short and extremely rude if we asked a question about something relating to our taxes especially when we entrusted him with our personal taxes as well as and business' payroll and taxes. Sarmad messed up the Business' taxes one year so badly we are still getting letters from the IRS, and to date we've had to pay a lot of money to the IRS. Just a week ago my husband mailed the IRS a check because he didn't file the taxes correctly. We've moved to a different CPA. I DO NOT recommend him at all. He is rude, arrogant and he does NOT want to be questioned even when you have every right to. He doesn't do well when held accountable. He is just very unreliable!

He helped me with a complicated situation where I accidentally paid the wrong state taxes because I had forgotten to change my address at work.

Please do not reach out to or count on this firm. We worked with Steven for two years without…read moreincident - I wouldn't say he did a great job or was particularly communicative but our taxes always got filed and we aren't aware of errors. However this past year he dodged my emails/phone calls, my husband's emails/phone calls, and my elderly mother's emails/phone calls (we all file separately). He once picked up the phone and then pretended to be someone else when he realized I was calling for an update on my taxes. He lied to us about filing for an extension and took forms from my mother that he never returned. Ultimately he stopped replying entirely and we had to look for a new accountant, several months after the filing deadline. I just got a notice that I owe several thousand dollars in late filing fees because it turns out he also lied about getting an extension. I don't know what is going on and while I wish Steven no ill will, please do not work with this firm or him. I don't want this to happen to anyone else.

Update 2/13: A partner at Capitol CPA reached out to me to apologize for the situation and explain…read morewhat happened. I was more than satisfied with their explanation and eagerness to earn my business and trust. I've taken them up on the offer to work with them so have updated the review initially and provide a final review once completed. ______________________________ Let me say the reason I reached out to Capitol CPA is because of their excellent reviews and they were my first pick. However, it's difficult to go with a company or trust them with your taxes when they can't even respond to you in a timely manner or at all. Let me detail my experience below: December 16, 2019: Send an inquiry through their website asking about availability for new clients. Receive a response from Steven that they're currently evaluating their capacity and will get back to me in a week. I respond immediately asking if I should follow up in a week or if they'll let me know? *CRICKETS* December 26, 2019: Ask for an update. Hear nothing, follow up with an inquiry through their website December 31, 2019: Receive a response from Steven apologizing for letting this slip through the cracks. They have room for new clients and ask for information. I respond an hour later with the information. *CRICKETS* January 19, 2019: Another follow up. Ask for an update. *CRICKETS* January 31, 2019: I give up. I reached out to three other companies and they immediately responded, asked for my tax information which I provided, and... immediately responded. So thank you Capitol CPA for wasting my time.

I was referred to Gilfillan & Associates by a friend, and heard wonderful things about there…read moresupport for small business owners. I had a very nice initial meeting with Dan to discuss my options and the approx costs to prepare my return. In the end, the cost was double what was expected with little communication along the way. They did do a great job uncovering savings in my return, but much of that was negated by their expensive billings. I was overall very disappointed with the level of communication from the office staff, who deals with filings and payments. It wasn't clear they wouldn't be submitting my return until paid in full, which resulted in significant delays.

I've been working with Miller Musmar, CPAs for some time now, and I wanted to share my experience…read morefor anyone looking for accounting services in the area. From the beginning, the team at Miller Musmar has been professional and attentive. When I first reached out, I was dealing with some complicated tax issues that I'd been putting off, and I wasn't sure how to tackle them. They took the time to understand my situation thoroughly and explained everything in terms I could actually understand, which immediately put me at ease. What stands out most about working with Miller Musmar is their communication. I'm always kept informed about what's happening with my accounts and tax filings. They respond to emails and phone calls promptly, and they make sure I understand deadlines and what's needed from me well in advance. There's never any confusion about where things stand or what the next steps are. That level of clarity has been invaluable, especially during tax season when things can get hectic. The transparency they provide has also been impressive. They're upfront about costs from the start, so there are no surprise fees or unexpected charges down the line. They explain their billing clearly and I always feel like I'm getting fair value for the services provided. They've also been proactive about finding deductions and strategies that have saved me money, which shows they're genuinely looking out for my best interests rather than just processing paperwork. Their approach is efficient and thorough. They don't drag things out unnecessarily, but they also don't rush through important details. Everything gets done in a reasonable timeframe, and I've never felt like my work was being delayed or that the process was being stretched out for billing purposes. They're organized, detail-oriented, and they catch things that I would have missed on my own. What I appreciate most is that they take a collaborative approach. When decisions need to be made, they present options clearly and help me understand the implications of each choice. They never make me feel like I'm asking stupid questions, and they're patient in explaining complex tax matters. I feel like I'm part of the process rather than being kept in the dark. The team has also been flexible and accommodating when unexpected situations come up. Whether it's a last-minute question or a change in my financial situation, they've always been responsive and helpful in figuring out the best path forward. Working with Miller Musmar has made tax season and financial planning far less stressful than it used to be. Having someone I can trust to handle these important matters with competence and integrity gives me real peace of mind. If you're looking for a CPA firm that communicates well, operates with transparency, and genuinely works to help you navigate your financial responsibilities, I'd definitely recommend Miller Musmar, CPAs.

This firm is so incompetent it is borderline criminal. We fired them from bookkeeping, but kept…read morethem for tax prep. Here is how that went: In January, we had a tax planning meeting (seems a little late, but whatever). Their estimate of the income we would report for 2023 was off by 300%. That's 300% off what the same firm calculated two months later when they actually did the taxes. No new numbers came in, everything was available in mid January when they came up with the estimate. When they filed tax returns in April for our firm, they overstated our income on our state returns, apportioning 100% to each state we do business in, instead of proportional amounts. We overpaid our taxes by $100k, and only caught the mistake because *we* found it and pointed it out to them. It took MM over 48 hours to confirm the mistake that we pointed out to them. They then filed amended returns. We will eventually get that money back, but only because of our own diligence. Also...never so much as an apology or taking accountability for the massive mistake. I have another firm redoing our tax filings, to make sure no other mistakes were made. Expensive lesson.
