I discovered Mark Stanhope when I moved to the area in 2016 and found that my tax situation had become too complex for me to handle alone, and while using a well known tax preparation software. Mark told me what documents I would need, including returns from the preceding 2 years. He submitted amended returns for my previous 2 years and got me refunds on both. He then filed my current return and although we did owe some money, I now had much higher confidence in the accuracy of the filed returns, both federal and state. Since that first year, our situation has continued to grow in complexity and I no longer worry when tax time comes 'round. I fill out Mark's annual summary survey and return along with my receipts and am amazed that I typically get back my completed return, ready to file, in just a few days. Though we have had a few years where we owed money on our returns, this year (2021) was very tough for my wife and me. I had a job change and my wife had 2 job changes, we sold our house and moved from MA to NH. Coupled with some 401K rollovers, and our tax situation was even more confusing and beyond my ability to manage. Mark, again, looking closely at all options, found us a surprisingly large refund for the year. I was thrilled this filing season to learn that Mark will be able to continue filing our Federal and MA returns even though we have moved out of state. Mark is personable, professional, and very knowledgeable. I have no reservations whatsoever in recommending him to anybody who is looking for any of the services his firm offers. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Mark Stanhope. We moved to MA 8 years ago and needed some help filing our taxes. One meeting with Mark and we knew we landed in the right place. Mark is kind, efficient, knowledgeable, professional, and he is available to assist whenever we have questions that come up throughout the year. Without hesitation I would recommend Mark to anyone looking for an accountant. read more

Mark has done our taxes for the past three year and things were fine. However we will no longer be using his services. First issue was that we received another clients preparation packet, and when we returned it immediately, he responded that this was not a big deal and that this happens. We were concerned because those packets include personal information. Second issue was that we stopped by his office to pay and ask a few questions, and he was incredibly disrespectful, called my husband stupid and raised his voice as I calmly tried to reword our question. We did not get our questions answered, we were disrespected, and we will never work with him again. read more

Mark was so wonderful to work with on our taxes. He helped my fiance and I sort out our taxes with ease and helped us understand exactly what we needed to do. Even when I came back to him for an amendment, he was professional and kind and worked with me to understand my options. He also gave us advice for the upcoming year and how we can save ourselves some money with some of our forthcoming life events. He made it easy and simple, and I would absolutely recommend him as a CPA of choice in the area. read more

Mark is a very presentable and humorous person. Really knows his tax preparation and law. We have used Mark for 5 years now and will continue to use his services. Very competent. If you want efficiency, knowledge, professionalism and that personal touch contact Mark. You will not regret it. He deals with our procrastination with a smile and a joke! read more

I just had the worst experience with Mark Stanhope, CPA in Hudson. He is condescending and rude and treated us with utter disrespect. He accused us of wanting something for free when we were going in for advice as well as looking to have tax returns ammended and wouldnve continued to give him business both personal and professional..oh and we had fully planned on paying him for his time today. He sat there and told us everything we did wrong over the past 6 years and then said he doesn't have time for this during his busy tax season. I have never been treated so rude. If he didn't have time for what we needed he should've politely said I'm sorry but my workload is too busy to take this on - instead of acting like an arrogant, disrespectful child having a temper tantrum. I would like to rate him a zero stars if I could. read more

I met Mark Stanhope back in 2008 when our taxes got more complicated than a simple return. He was highly recommended by some friends and after meeting with him and discussing that particular tax year we never looked back. He has always been a complete professional and over all these years I've never found fault with his level of knowledge and experience. He's gone out of his way over the years to keep up with the changes in our lives as they affect our business and tax situation and has consistently offered excellent advice when asked. Even after moving out to the West Coast we continued to use him with the same outstanding results and I couldn't recommend him more as a tax professional and financial advisor. read more

I've been working with Mark Stanhope for five years. He is very knowledgeable, forthright, helpful, always responds quickly to any question, big or little. Luckily all I have to do now is send him my information, he prepares my returns and tells me the good news or bad news as to how much I owe or get back! I have full trust and confidence in him and highly recommend Mark's services. read more

I found Mark Stanhope here on Yelp when we needed last-minute tax help. He was friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, and reasonable price-wise; all around just what we needed. We will return to him and would recommend him! read more
