Andrea Newman served as my late father's accountant for several year. He passed away in January…read more2021. Prior to his passing, we both decided to seek a different accountant because Andrea consistently increased her fees by approximately $200-$250 each year. As noted in Kathy's review, I experienced the same issue. In 2021, Andrea charged $900. In 2022, despite the minimal work required, she charged $950. Two weeks later, I received an additional bill for $700. After receiving numerous hostile letters from her office threatening to send me to collect, I sought the advice of another accountant. That professional concluded that I had been significantly. Overcharged. I requested an itemized bill detailing the time spent on both years's tax returns, but Andrea was unable to provide one. The only documentation she supplied was a general invoice. She also claimed to have had multiple phone conversations with my father. When I requested the dates and times of those calls, she was unable to provide them. Her justification was that she. Had a sighed contract with my father. When I asked to see a copy of the contract, I was told it had been shredded. Based on these experience, I believe WR & Associates operate in an unprofessional manner. I have forwarded all correspondence with Andrea to both the Better Business Bureau (BBB).and the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation DBPR). Additionally, I observed that she has relocated her office three times in the past seven years. Each time she moves, her reviews appear to be erased. This pattern is also evident when examining her Facebook reviews. In summary, my experience with Andrea Newman and WR & Associates has been extremely negative. I found her to lack both integrity and professionalism. She grossly overcharges clients and, when questioned, resorts to threats rather than providing evidence. If you value integrity, transparency, and professional, I strongly recommend avoiding this firm.

Simply stated WR and Associates have prepared my taxes without fail over the years and they are the best. Most recently my computer incompetence required hours of phone communication to accomplish the final returns. The patience of this office was extraordinary. An aside observation: these folks know this client as if he were family.

Let me say that I am not a tax expert nor do I care to be. I seeked out the help of Pauline and her team for assistance with my company in early stages of growth. From the moment I walked in, I was spoken to as if my business was not appreciated. They are absolutely not on your "side" and it is more a transaction for them more than anything. I needed help understanding some of the basic concepts regarding tax structure for my business, and Pauline failed to explain, and inform me in an appropriate manner. To add to this horrible customer experience, in times of need, specifically during covid pandemic tax issues, they were not by my side. I can go on and on. But I'm not going to because you should save yourself the headache and take your business to an accountant that will appreciate your business, guide you no matter where you are, and be on YOUR team. We are all business owners, and if I treated my customers the way Pauline and her team did, I'd go out of business. I gave this accounting firm over $1,000 of my hard earned money as a small business owner and regret every penny.
