Erik Olthof at West Ridge provided an A+ tax return service at a great value…read more He went the extra mile to explain each step, going through how each area affected the return, answered each question within a short amount of time and really gave it a personal touch. Erik & West Ridge are highly recommended!

I reached out to Lauren early this year, at the very start of tax season. I gave her a lot of…read moreinformation upfront since this was my first time working with her, but warned her that I'd be slow sending stuff as we were in the midst of buying a home. She was gracious and understanding, and updated me early on as to the remaining documents I would need to collect - while noting that it still would be first come, first served though (completely reasonable here). Lauren was communicative and absolutely wonderful to work with, and I will be using her again for our tax preparation this next year. Thank you, Lauren, for your wonderful work on our taxes!

Prior to meeting Abacus I was a little concerned about hiring someone to complete my personal…read moretaxes. I was worried that a tax advisor would be dishonest in an effort to get me an incorrectly higher return. Instead ... I found Abacus to be honest, complete and quick! She was able to point out a number of mortgage-related deductions that I had been missing for a long time, she even helped me submit corrections for an earlier year based on the differences. She was very easy to work with over email and in person. Being able to just "Sign Here" makes tax completion so much easier!!

I was a client with Lawrence when it became Balanced Equation... before Jackie Compton took it over…read moreso stayed with the company. She immediately tripled my monthly payment and did less. They are very combative, and if you say ANYTHING, or actually ask them to work for what they are paid for...well, I did, and she gave me ONE DAYS notice and resigned. BEFORE she informed me she resigned, she changed my access to my online portal and locked me out. I asked for 24 hours, and was told I had 12. They are also incompetent. This spring, I sent them all of the names and addresses of my vendors...and they sent last years 1099 information to ALL of my vendors. The year before, they did not send the 1099's at all. What a mess. asked for help in how to save on paying so much income tax...her response was I should work harder. PLEASE, PLEASE...save yourself from potential lawsuits and find someone competent. I rarely post a review on anything or anyone, but feel very strongly that if I can save anyone else the money and trouble... it is something I really need to do. Compton Accounting, or Balanced Equation is unbelievably incompetent and unprofessional.
