When I went to Ann Arbor Tax Service I had just received a letter from the IRS, because (surprise, surprise) I was not filling my paperwork out properly. in one meeting he was able to completely calm any anxieties and fears I had surrounding my future interactions with the IRS. Fred is great at explaining things so that I understand them while not talking down to me. He took the time to meet with me to help me sort out and clean up my quickbooks.My only regret is not working with him sooner, it would have saved me (and him) a lot of headaches .

This year we had some significant life changes that surely would've impacted our taxes. I'd have…read moredone then myself otherwise, but we figured a competent CPA would make our lives a little less stressful. We were wrong. We made a 1 o'clock Thursday appointment with Pat Hanniford. When we spoke on the phone to schedule this appointment he was friendly but offered very little information beyond when to come to his office. I also had to ask HIM what informational tax materials to bring to our filing appointment. Shouldn't this have been something he began with? I didn't feel that he was very thorough in this regard and gave me a very loose idea of what he'd need. I took a half day off work and arranged for a babysitter for our afternoon appointment thinking it might be an hour or so. Running a few minutes late we showed up 3 minutes after 1 o'clock. Pat was nowhere to be found. His secretary, Kathy didn't know where he was and didn't bother to call him until we had already been waiting 10 minutes. Then she told us that he was on his way in thinking our appointment (the one that he personally scheduled) was for 2 o'clock. When we asked how far out he was they told us "maybe 4 minutes". That was a gross underestimation. We waited an additional 25 minutes, our first impression of this group growing less enchanting with each passing minute. We had a 2 month old at home that we had scheduled around so this was very inconveniencing, somewhat stressful, not to mention highly unprofessional. When he arrived he was over 40 minutes late for our appointment. Then the actual meeting took less than 5 minutes. We laid out our forms and paperwork, he looked them over, and told us he'd be in touch. Never being told how long the appointment would last nor that he could only devote 5-10 minutes to us, we felt rushed the entire 10 minutes. I later found out that I could've just dropped off the paperwork after work. The whole meet and greet with this office was abrupt and impersonal. So impersonal in fact that they didn't even bother to close the doors to the conference room we were in, allowing whomever to listen in on our personal business. Thus far, not impressed, but we decided to ride it out. At our meeting Pat had told us he'd have our taxes done by the beginning of that coming week. We never heard a thing until WE called at the end of that next week. We were then told they'd be ready sometime the following week. We never heard anything the following week again and began calling every few days leaving messages with Kathy for Pat but never getting a call back. Eventually I just emailed Pat who wrote back apologizing and scheduled us to come in to review our filing. When we arrived he was out of the office again, and came in late, giving us about 10 minutes of his time to review what he prepared. He left us with 1 of 2 options to file and we told him we needed to think about it and call with our directive early the following week. Come the next week and after 3-4 unreturned phone calls to Pat with questions we needed answered, I eventually just went to his office. He of course was not there again but "he's on his way in and he'll be here in 5 minutes" was repeated a few times by Kathy while we waited. (Be aware that this is a habit with this guy, and that his office always always says "he'll be here soon" - Plan on waiting for him every step of the way) . He actually wasn't in the office ANY of the 4 times that I or my wife went there to speak to him and didn't return a single message we left with Kathy. As it's all said and done now, I'll steer clear of this group in the future. Customer service was nonexistent and common courtesy is a reach here. It would seem that either their clientele is the weathered Brighton establishment, not considering a younger generation of client worth extending courtesy to, OR, they're just fundamentally inconsiderate.

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!
