DO NOT USE THIS CPA SERVICE! I'm not prone to taking the time to write reviews however in this case…read moreI decided it was worth the effort. I'm a small business owner. I started my business in 2010 and sought accounting and tax preparation as a result. At the time I started doing business the accounting company was called Bowling and Franklin. I retained their services around 2010 or 11. I dealt with the same CPA for the entire time, originally at an office on 610 in North Stafford and later at the main office in Fredericksburg at 1207 Charles Street. Every year since starting to do business with BF they filled an extension for me. At some point the business was renamed Bishop Farmer & CO. This past year in 2024 I went through the same process with the CPA as in previous years. I provided my 1099s, W2s and all pertinent tax information, they prepared the federal and state returns, I signed them just like the previous 14 years of taxes. This year I was assessed a late payment fee by the IRS for estimated taxes of $180. I have never been assessed any late payment or filing fee in all the previous years of doing business with Bishop Farmer. I paid the fee and consulted with my CPA. I was told it was a software glitch with some accounting software in use by the CPA that it should have been caught. My filing fee with B&F was $500. I don't think its unreasonable to reduce the bill to offset the IRS fee, especially considering it was a software glitch on the part of the CPA and not to mention over 10 years of doing business with this firm. They agreed to reduce the fee. I paid the $319 to BF and as far as I was concerned this matter was closed. Apparently, Bishop Farmer felt differently as they sent me a letter via snail mail indicating that they would no longer do business with me and that I should seek other accounting services. Considering the long history of business together and the fact that this nominal fee was assessed due to an issue on the part of the CPA this is unreasonable and totally unprofessional. Do yourself a favor and avoid this business.

Perhaps other CPAs might be better but I found out this year by another CPA that this firm's CPA…read more(initial LL) completely ripped me off and didn't do much to help me getting my deductions right. I had some complicated cases with house sale but I did most job to get all the information together and as we all know, CPAs can use their professional software to sort things out these days. Now, I got bill of $1250!!! even after I told her that I wouldn't be able to pay more than $600 since that was the highest quote I got from other CPAs. I told the firm secretary that I wouldn't pay anything more than $600 since that was what I told the CPA and I don't see the reason for paying double of what I told her to pay. The worst part is that a new CPA I found this year said very little deduction was made last year even if I gave the list of expenses to this firm's CPA, so I ended up paying additional tax and he needs to fix this this year. I will never work with this firm again. One good thing that I got from working with this firm is that now I review all Tax return thoroughly to make sure all necessary deductions are filed in correctly.

We filed a complaint with the Virginia Board of Accountancy and were informed that an audit was expected to take place at the end of last year. We have not received any updates on the outcome. We also hired an attorney, at our own expense, to formally present our concerns to Sareene Tax and Associates in an effort to seek reimbursement. They stated that no mistakes were made and have not reimbursed us for any of the expenses we incurred. In our view, the errors were clear, and resolving this situation was both stressful and costly. For these reasons, we cannot recommend this firm.
