The best accountant in Columbia. She explains the numbers to you and makes sure you understand…read morewhat she is saying. She is always reachable by phone and by email. She doesn't throw out a bunch of big accountant words to make you think she is smart. She doesn't have to because it is obvious she is brilliant. It's just nice when people are comfortable in themselves so they don't have to put on heirs. She has always been great at giving me good tax estimates and advice during the year so I don't get stuck with a huge bill at the end of the year and so I don't end up loaning the IRS a ton of money throughout the year. She is a wonderful woman who does amazing things for charities out of the goodness of her heart and not because she thinks it will get her more business.

I closed my business nearly two years ago and am still getting notices from the IRS about taxes I supposedly owe going back to 2022. And they have the gall to want to charge me $180 to help correct the mistakes they made with the IRS on my behalf. They are expensive, difficult to get a hold of and have made countless mistakes on my personal and business taxes. I do not recommend Accounting Plus for a small business or personal taxes.
