After weeks going by with no communication from him, someone from his team reached out on March 31 asking me for all of my information which was odd because he kept stressing that I needed to pay the invoice first. Not too big of a deal though at this point. I hear nothing else from him or his team (despite having reached out and receiving no response) until they provide my filing on April 17. With my filing, they provided a document with information on how much money I owed, to which agency I owed it, and how to pay it. They provided a payment plan with amounts and dates due to the bottom of this document. The first payment was listed as being due the very next day. I messaged him a little frustrated with his as he gave me no advance notice that I would need to make a payment the next day. To this, he responds that I have 60 days to submit a payment without penalty. Fast forward to June 11, I receive a letter from the IRS saying that I have not paid my amount in full and am being charged penalties. I was very confused since they laid out a payment plan for me. When I messaged Camari about this, his response was, "I didn't set up a payment arrangement for you with the IRS for your outstanding 2021 taxes. What I provided you with were estimated tax vouchers for your 2022 taxes. Paying these will help you to avoid oweing any taxes at the end of this year. You will still need to pay your 2021 taxes if you have not paid them yet." This is a complete lie and contrary to the document he provided. I know of others who have used their service this year and I know that Camari takes no accountability or integrity. He hasn't even bothered to respond to my follow up message. Do not use this service! It will cost you more money and stress if you do.

They met with me and walked through my situation. After working with them for several weeks they determined that what I owed was accurate. I paid them but determined that there was no need to go to a CPA for my tax situation, as I verified doing the taxes myself was accurate and not overly difficult. I imagine as taxes get more complicated that needing a CPA may be necessary. There was some period of time where my questions were going unanswered but they eventually got resolved, although slower than I had hoped for. A good local business!

Luckily I have David Caplan to take care of business for me. David is extremely knowledgeable about all things fiscal (he's a deductions wizard) and he's honest and reliable. But perhaps my favorite thing about him are the hilarious tax-time letters he sends out - this dude has a wicked sense of humor! His fees are very reasonable and he'll hold your hand if you need him to, which is perfect for a financial idiot like myself. Having him as my accountant for the past 5 years (many of them as a freelancer) almost makes me look forward to April 15. Almost.

After two years of terrific service, the 2023 tax filing season was a very different, and…read moreunpleasant, experience. We returned all of our documents well ahead of their early-March deadline and, after I prodded them for confirmation of receipt, we heard nothing else. Several days before tax deadline, they sent a mass email to all clients suggesting that if we hadn't heard from them yet, they would file an extension. I reached out by email and phone--several times--the weeks before and following April 15, with no response or even confirmation of receipt of my communications. At that point, we had no confirmation that our tax documents were actually in their queue or that an extension had definitely been filed on our behalf. Frankford responded (via email) many days later and, while they acknowledged that this was a difficult year for them, they provided little to no proactive explanation of our taxes, nor did they review any of the returns with us. A week ago, we received a letter from the IRS that our taxes had been filed incorrectly. We understand that accountants make errors, however, despite reaching out to Frankford about the error, we have yet to hear back to understand what happened. It seems their lack of communication is not limited to the weeks around tax filing deadline. We will be looking for another tax professional next year, and would encourage others to approach Frankford with caution.

Fortunately, I found FJ Koelle & Associates via a Google search, and was impressed by the previous Yelp reviews. Let me assure you, those reviews are legitimate, and Fred & Stacy are exceptionally wonderful to deal with. Fred got us in rather late in the tax season, which made me very happy. The experience from that point was as pleasant as having your taxes done could possibly be. Stacy went above and beyond to proactively call me the day before a snow storm, and asked if I wanted to move the appointment. Who does that these days? Exactly no one, that's who. Once we sat down with Fred, he prepared much of the info on the spot, rather than just taking notes and putting our return in a queue. Got a call the next day (yes, you read that right) that everything was ready. Amazing. His fees are consistent with what I'd expect, perfectly fair and reasonable, the office is clean and pleasant, and honestly there isn't one thing that prevents me from rating FJ Koelle & Associates 5 stars +.
