As far as helping their is nothing you can do as mentioned I already switched payroll services. I can tell you though as a loyal yelper its not good to post reviews about your own company.

Nailesh's service during my parent's business as their accountant was terrible. My elderly parents…read morewere rushed into opening a business under his accounting and taxation services. He did not explain them the details of the corporation he was opening for them, neither did he open the correct type of corporation for them. Throughout his services he kept misguiding at every occasion although making sure that he was charging for all such services which they paid every time in full. The worst was after the business was dissolved (which he did not do correctly and left many loose ends with IRS and State Taxation departments) he was absolutely not willing to support them any further with responses that they had to give to IRS. I would not recommend him for any services. If you would like to spend your money wise, do not take his service.

I used Nailesh as a CPA for my 2016 tax returns. After interacting with a number of other tax…read moreprofessionals in the area, I can confirm he is one of the best Middlesex County has to offer. Between 2014 and 2016, I visited or called a number of tax professionals along the Route 1 corridor throughout Highland Park, Metuchen, Edison, and Woodbridge. Each year, I looked for assistance with my income tax returns. Unfortunately, since I don't have a particularly complicated situation, many CPAs dismissed me as a customer. I cannot tell you how many tax professionals denied me their time, telling me they only work with individuals with complex situations; they kept recommending I head over to H&R Block or just use Turbo Tax. The tax professionals who did accept my business in 2014 and 2015 completed my tax returns in as little as 5-7 minutes, just skimming over my documents and submitting returns without even having a conversation with me as a client. As someone with a couple of tax-related inquiries who wanted to make sure I proceeded correctly, I knew I had to find someone new in 2016 who would take me seriously as a client. Nailesh did a wonderful job. When I called his office, he scheduled a same-day appointment with me and met with me for an hour. We held a one-hour initial consultation in which he reviewed my paperwork thoroughly and asked me a series of questions which immediately proved his thoroughness, his precision, and his commitment to his customers. Additionally, as questions arose throughout the process of preparing the returns, Nailesh texted me to ask follow-up questions to ensure the accuracy of my returns. While working on my 2016 return, Nailesh noticed an inaccuracy that carried back two years to my 2014 returns (likely a result of the rushed and haphazard service I got at other tax preparation offices). He amended a number of my state and federal returns, gaining me not only piece of mind but a steady stream of small (but not unappreciated!) checks with some extra money I had not been anticipating. At the end of the process, he invited me in for a final appointment to review my returns and explain his calculations, a step in the process which I very much appreciated. He also charged fair and reasonable rates, especially considering he spent three times as much time with me as many of his competitors in the area would have! If you are looking for personal income tax preparation, I cannot recommend Nailesh any more highly. I look forward to using him for tax preparation in upcoming years, as well as recommending him to my immediately family and friend circle.

We have been doing business with this firm for over 25 years and they have provided us with excellent service. They have always guided me and my husband with their professional tax advise. If they don't have the answers at hand, they definitely researched and got back to us with the answers whether favorable or not. They always explained how the taxes affect us and could affect us. They are always on top of the new tax laws and communicated them with us with our specific situation. They really are a must firm to go to. When my mother in law passed away, the firm helped me to organize all the necessary paperwork for the filing of the estate and inheritance tax returns. Very organized and always willing to go out of their way to do so. The tax manager even accompanied me to the bank to make sure I understood everything from soup to nuts since I really don't understand all that banking and finance languages. Would not go anywhere else but with sue and joe. read more

I've used this firm for my taxes for years. The people I had before not only dropped the ball on accuracy but they failed to maximize my refund. After receiving several recommendations I switched and I've been very happy, an accountant needs to be accurate, honest and priced fair and they meet and surpass all of these requirements. read more

Bottom line up front - do not go to this place if you have a complicated tax return (e.g., multiple…read morestates on your W2, residency questions, etc.) multiple state tax returns or if you want an enjoyable customer service experience. File your taxes yourself in an online tax filing system before you waste your time going here - and I really mean waste your time sitting waiting. I found this place based on proximity to my residence as well as the reviews that were posted on various social media websites - most of all were positive. 1. My experience started when I called to schedule an appointment. I asked the receptionist questions about what course of action I should take based on my tax situation. She said in a nasty tone, "So do you want us to prepare or do you need an appointment?" I told her my situation again and asked her what I should do. She didn't know so I told her to schedule an appointment. 2. Upon showing up at my appointment, I wasn't seen until 30 minutes after the scheduled start time. 3. During my appointment, I had to guide the CPA through all of the documents explaining to him what everything was. Even though there was a written form description on the top of form. I felt more like I was the CPA. 4. PRICE! They charged me $500+ to file my return. I literally could have done my taxes myself on TurboTax or TaxSlayer and received better treatment and service. Oh yeah, and they don't provide any sort of audit protection. All you get is a CPA who inputs numbers into a program that does all of the work.

He may have been an accountant for a long time and maybe a long time ago he knew what he was doing…read morebut he should retire or go back to school. He should be avoided at all costs. Not only is he rude and disrespectful, he is basically incompetent. He seemed like he knew what he was doing but after switching accountants after a couple of years with him, she immediately picked up on several key issues that were causing us to owe taxes.. 2 years, we owed. Thank goodness we decided to make the move to another accountant. He missed so many things in our filings, and they were major issues that any halfway capable accountant should have been able to detect. They were quite obvious. He also gave us some financial advice, but the numbers he gave were all wrong. If you want things done properly, go somewhere, anywhere else. He never gives you a moment to talk or explain things to you. He speaks over you and acts like he is better than you. Truly terrible experience.

During those 15 years, we've had more than one audit by the IRS and our returns have been way too high. He used to be the friendliest, jovial type around, but perhaps he's going through a mid-life crisis - I never received any voice mails about picking up my materials, and when I tried to have a family member pick up my tax documents, the secretary would give my mom/sister a hard time. "Well, I don't know about that", says Vincent. OK, but there's also a payment I need to make to NJ that has a deadline that's already passed. Don't you think that the principle of the matter is that you didn't reach out to me at all about the payment? "It's just $87, I don't know why you're so upset", as he continues to talk over me and raise his voice so I am drowned out. Goodbye! I even gave him a referral, and he treated her with disdain. Just do your taxes yourself; going through the years of returns he's done for us, he's not a step up from Turbo Tax.
