I had two needs of a tax accountant: 1) how to allocate estate assets into two trusts to minimize…read moreOregon State tax consequences; and 2) file the initial Oregon State estate tax return. I connected with Eichenbaum Bateman Larkin in late January. Their commitment was to provide advice on trust funding and then work on the tax return after April 15th. Despite three separate commitment dates, and multiple requests, no advice was ever provided. Nor was any communication provided of the process or timing to do so. I think this lack of transparency and reliability was far worst than the unfulfilled commitments. As the Trustee for these trusts, I was left in the dark as to how to fund the two trusts with no clear expectation as to when it would ever be provided. In fact, EBL did not even provide a "preliminary" list of its needed documentation until 6/11. And even then, communication was unclear until 7/27 when EBL stated the need to file an extension for the tax return (recognizing that it had yet to do anything to provide the needed guidance to allow me to conduct the initial funding of the trusts...leaving the Trustee in limbo all of this time). Then, after notifying EBL that I had lost confidence in them and would find an alternative to complete the work, EBL sent me a bill. Recognize that they had yet to provide any guidance or benefit; and had yet to even review any of the documentation from the preliminary list of documentation. EBL's lack of performance and undependable fulfillment of commitments may well be associated with my engagement being a small project. I really don't know. But my experience demonstrated a lack of professionality, lack of expertise in trust administration and lack customer-centric service.

TLDR: Kershaw & Associates cost us just over $14,000 in missed deductions, gave bad advice on…read moreretirement & HSA contributions, took 4 months to complete our return, and had terrible communication throughout. We're in our 30's, have a family, have had the same basic tax situation for 6 years, and are middle income earners- we don't need a genius CPA but we were hoping to build a relationship with a firm who we could grow with and become smarter about our financial picture. Kershaw is NOT it. We used them for the past 4 years, and their service has gotten worse and worse as the firm transferred ownership. In 2016 they missed a HSA deduction- when I found the miss (and did the paperwork myself to amend it) we came out with an extra $2,100 in refunds THAT THEY MISSED. So I asked them to file the amendment with our 2017 taxes and Dawn wanted to charge us $300 to file it....for paperwork that I did myself, on a deduction that they missed. I should have just stopped there, but it was already February 2018 and taxes were due- so we moved ahead with engaging them for another year. During which they moved offices in the middle of tax season (why would they do that?) and as I was eager to get an answer on an IRA contribution we wanted to make before the April 18th deadline I followed up asking for her advice and Dawn kept saying she'd have it by week end or that she'd temporarily misplaced our paperwork. Dawn did eventually get us an answer just before the deadline, telling us not to make a contribution for that year. So we followed her advice and did not. April 18th came and passed, and after chasing her for another few weeks, she told us she had filed for an extension for our taxes- but did not provide an ETA, finally on JUNE 26th we got an email from Cindy that they were ready. I'd also like to note that not once did she request missing information from us- and our new accountant said we were very organized so our documents/info wasn't to blame for the extra time needed here. When I went in for the tax appointment, Dawn lectured me that we should have made an IRA contribution- so I showed her her own email where she told us not to, for which she said she was mistaken- but since it was June there was no way to fix it. She then went on to explain how "generous" she was by not charging additional for the amended return (which was only needed because of their mistake)...and that their fee had gone up by $100. She provided no credit for the extended time, terrible communication, or bad advice that caused us to miss a retirement contribution. The reason I'm writing this review now is because we finally pulled our head out of the sand this year and choose a new accountant. Who at our first 1-hour meeting, pointed out another $7,000 in deductions that Dawn missed. Save yourself time and money and stay far, far away from this firm.

I cannot speak for all the staff, maybe most of them are great, but if you want informative, coherent information, stay away from Kevin. I felt a little greasier after having left his office. Maybe it was the privilege of watching him clean up that thing he called lunch after I entered. Or the way he treated the nice front desk lady with dismissive spite, as if she forgot to buy his favorite creamer for the break room. But it was mostly the way he avoided my pointed questions by answering just about anything else other than what I was asking. Want to pay over $100 for an 'educational' meeting where you come out just a little bit stupider? I found just the place. Somehow, every time I asked a question, he circled back around to the same point regarding state taxes. Okay, cool, calm down, Rob. I'm sure he'll stop talking about this super-easy-to-understand concept that I could have just googled in under a minute. Just..gotta..cut him off. No, that's not working, he doesn't take breaths in between sentences. It must have been the mouth-breathing. On my way out, one of the other staff asked, "Did you get all the info you were looking for? He has a way of talking about whatever he wants to talk about." Thank you for the 1 hour late advice. I carried my remaining brain cells out of there and never returned.

In 2019, I had a wonderful career, made very good money and purchased a house. So, I needed help to file my taxes. I googled CPAs and I've found Mr Cameron Irtifa. I really wanted the good reviews to be true and give me a relief I have a good trustworthy CPA for the rest of my life. However, my experience was really bad. First of all, he was late for our appointment. He apologized and I was cool with it. Then he made a lot of bad comments about my country of Origin. I asked him to stop talking about it. He apologized and stopped. But he kept talking about all other random stuff that didn't have anything to do with taxes like what is my laptop model, if my green card lawyer was good, stories from his family in his country Pakistan and so on. When paying for the session he considered start to finish, so technically I paid for the time he took to tell his personal stories!

I knew I didn't understand landlord accounting laws very well although I have an old accounting clerk certificate. Cameron Irtifa completed our tax forms for the past couple of years. I filled out our tax forms on TurboTax first to compare to his results. He has saved us thousands of dollars each year. We can't afford to have me fill out our tax forms any more. His fees are very reasonable. We paid four times as much for a CPA in Eugene to fill out our tax forms years ago. But this Eugene CPA had an office next to a golf course. Mr. Irtifa's office in Beaverton is very unassuming. I do chit-chat with Mr. Irtifa as we go through my tax information. He has referred me to several local professionals, like lawyers, that solved other problems I was working on. By chatting with other clients I know he hears who is good and who is not. I appreciate being able to pick his brain for advice as we go through my tax information. He has taken the time mid-year to give us investment advice when we asked. I have also given him advice on topics I feel passionate about, which he accepted graciously. If you want a very formal CPA, you should go to someone else. Mr. Irtifa worked for the IRS for a number of years so I trust him when he advises me on how to answer an ambiguous tax question. Mr. Irtifa can get behind on his appointments during the day. I just remind myself that when it is my turn he will take as long as I need to get my tax forms filled out correctly and my questions answered. I am glad we found him.

I explained that having a professional manage my finances is new for me, and I was even sure if the services they offered applied to my scenario - And that I'd want to have a brief explanation of what they do and how that applied to my situation before proceeding. I think that's also reasonable. I don't care how good you are or how busy you are, charging me for a sales pitch isn't how you do it and I cannot believe they have any sense of customer service or care about their clients.
