Tax time! Ick! As…read moremany of you who know me can attest, I am pretty DIY. I don't like to spend money on things that I don't have to. With this philosophy in mind, I did my own taxes for many years. It was a bit tedious, but things like TurboTax eventually helped remove some of the sting. However, a few years ago, my partner and I embarked upon the adventure of creating a shared LLC. In addition, we had been doing freelance gigs here and there -- things that don't fit as easily into tax-figuring as a standard jobby job. When we went to set up our LLC, friends who ran a small indie record label referred us to Jeff Stefforia. He was exactly the right person to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable, but also gets to the heart of the matter and is efficient in terms of time/meetings. He's worked with other indie and small businesses, and so seems to understand the quirks of that sort of client well. I also honestly appreciated that he didn't judge us on the fact that we had a business together but were not married. That sounds odd, but believe me, other people (who I feel have no right to judge my personal decisions) have questioned why I would have a business with my partner who is not my legal spouse. It was so refreshing to not have to deal with that! My own taxes this year were pretty straightforward, though I had to submit some extra info. for a housing credit. The very first workday after turning in all of my paperwork, I received a friendly email from Kim, one of Jeff's associates, asking for follow-up and a few pieces of information I missed. It was simple enough to find and send her the information, and I can breathe a sign of relief knowing that taxes are now out of my hands, into expert hands, and almost complete. With how insanely busy my partner and my own respective schedules are, Jeff and the rest of the crew at Stefforia & Associates have been a god-send. Saving us time, and ultimately, some money. I'm very thankful that our friends steered us in the right direction!

We started using Stefforia & Petik almost 20 years ago (I think it had a different name then) to…read moreprepare our tax info, and I have always been glad that we did. We have always had excellent service from them, including in some complex situations, and they have often found things in the tax code that I would never have learned if I lived to be a thousand. The fact that I have not gone crazy yet is partly due to these guys' work. ------------------------- 2018 update: We are using them again this year, and also for my elderly parents and our daughter. We got in just before the tax-time flood, and they got all three done in One Day. (They are no doubt geared up for the flood.) All the works looks good. Still very happy with this service and still not crazy, after all these years.

Arbor Accounting is a small accounting shop, and it has been a pleasure to work with Sean…read more He is a well-rounded accountant. He knew the specifics of how to handle my educational forms and deductions (along with a retirement account problem that I bungled in a previous return). Sean capably prepared my personal return, which was a relief, because as a PhD student, the tuition/fellowship/scholarship/stipend/grant classifications are confusing. Doing it wrong could cost you. If you're a student in the area - or anybody, I imagine, who needs a responsive and knowledgeable CPA - don't hesitate to go with Arbor Accounting. You will be much better off than trying to fumble through the software programs out there. I walked into the office late in tax season and Sean still handled everything promptly and at a good price. FWIW, he's also a nice person.
