When I went to file my taxes this year, I noticed there was a mistake made on the 2024 tax filing so in order to fix that I attempted to hire this company as my CPA. We set a phone call appointment at 9 AM. No one from this company called me until 10 AM which was at a time where I was not available anymore. In the voicemail, the CPA Mike even stated that there may have been a miscommunication and he's sorry that he didn't call earlier in the day. This is no problem for me as I called back when I was available to reset a phone call appointment. I mentioned to them when they call me to please call twice as sometimes it's easy to miss the first call. When we set the next appointment, Mike never called. Instead he said he thought I was going to swing by the office for an appointment on a Saturday. Odd since he never reached out on Saturday to see if I was coming, but for some reason, he expected me to come. I called back on Monday and said hey I'd like to sign the paperwork to on board. I spoke with Mike. He said that that's great and to call Faith their office manager. Where she was then happy to email me over the client agreement where I can print sign and scan back to them via email. The agreement was signed the same night. The next morning I receive a call from Faith where she leads off by saying we received your signed agreement and I spoke to the CPA and he stated that I No showed two appointments. Bear in mind, even if I was supposed to call in directly to Mike. There is no direct line to call into anybody at the office as they have a typical extension tree you have to deal with. So if you're ever calling them and they ever set an appointment with them, just so you know in order to get a hold of them you have to go through their extension tree. Makes sense as a client that you would have to do that for a phone appointment and they wouldn't call you.. icing on the cake was this was about a 2 to 3 week back-and-forth process and they decided as a favor to me on April 15 today tax day they would not be accepting me as a new client, but they would be happy to charge me $100 to file an extension. Just in case any other firm does this for you, I hope everyone knows you're able to file an extension for free online. I would say a normal company would have told me when I missed an appointment that they would not accept me as a client and it would've been nice to know that two weeks ago. Good luck to whoever attempts to work with this company. Patrick Rucker won't be your CPA. Just a guy named Mike with an assistant named Faith, who is not interested in arguing the facts. Let's see if they have a cookie cutter response to this review as I'm sure they will.

Most CPAs I have spoken to were pretty vague, and of course want to get you to sign on. Erik took the time to be transparent about my options (didn't even really push on his services, which made me want to do business with him even more!!). He explained complex tax terms in language that made sense to me. He was very thorough on my options. Highly highly highly recommended!!!!

What sets him apart is his commitment to staying current in his education, his attention to detail, and his quick, thoughtful communication. He consistently goes above and beyond, and no question is ever too small. He takes the time to understand your long-term goals and never uses a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, he personalizes strategies based on your business structure and the bigger picture. Not to mention his incredible team, Natalia Dávila and Stephanie Swift, who make everything with bookkeeping and payroll feel seamless and streamlined. They are fantastic to work with. I recommend Grant and his team to anyone who even mentions the word "taxes" and I will continue to recommend him always. Five stars, without hesitation.

I left a one-star review because I couldn't leave a review any lower. Bill and his team and this…read moremost unprofessional, and incompetent people that I have ever had to work with. We had hired a different tax prep company, but in January 2019 we got a notice from them that they had outsourced a bunch of clients to Bill's company. By then I was wrapped up in a major project for a client, so I went with the recommendation. Let's start with our corporate taxes. I had our corporate taxes ready to go on January 23rd, 2019 and I added Sean from Bill's office to our QuickBooks account. I asked for status updates every couple of weeks and never got back a single email. Sean also never accepted the request from QuickBooks to be added to it, so I could see that nothing was being done. The first time I actually heard from Sean is after I called the company that I hired to find out what was going on, this was on April 8th. I heard from Sean twice that day and nothing else. We had several payments that clients had made for work that hadn't been started yet, so we needed to make sure that income was deferred corrected into 2019. I sent that information to Bill multiple times and he never seemed to understand what he needed to do with this information. Our business taxes were eventually done on April 14th after many phone calls and emails to get status updates. I had to assume they were done correctly, as there was no time to double check the work. On our personal taxes; our information was gathered up and sent over on March 8th, 2019. As we had 73 files which had a total size of 36 Megs, I couldn't email the data over, so I uploaded the information to One Drive and had One Drive create a link for the folder, which I sent over to Sean (from Bill's team). Again, I heard nothing when I asked for status updates. When we finally got an email from Bill about what was going on (this was April 8th) the email made it seem like it was doing up a favor by doing our taxes (and that he wouldn't be doing them until April 13th when he was done with his clients that came to his office). We had sent in all the relevant information months before, but his apparent lack of time management meant that our taxes never got done. Bill never figured out how to click on the link that I put in the email to the tax information. At least I must assume that was the problem, as Bill never bothered to tell me why we couldn't download the files that I uploaded for him. On April 12th he told me that I needed to upload the files to his file transfer app. I was using a restaurants Wi-Fi (as I had work to do that day since I wasn't planning on spending the entire day dealing with my taxes) and I kept getting errors from the website that Bill had sent over. The tax firm that I hired in the first place ended up downloaded the files from One Drive and uploaded them via Bill's site since Bill could download the files himself. The week leading up to Tax Day, Bill kept trying to talk us into filing an extension, because I assume he didn't want to do our taxes before April 15th. We kept telling him that an extension wasn't an acceptable option because we had no idea what the estimates where going to be because of all the changes with the tax laws. Like our business taxes, our personal taxes were done on April 14th. I again had to assume they were done correctly, as I didn't have time to sit down and review everything. Having someone do your taxes is supposed to take the stress away from you when it comes to this process. Bill completely failed at this. My stress level went up dramatically, and I have zero confidence that my taxes were done correctly. I would have had less stress if I had simply done them myself, but I didn't have the time which is why I hired someone to do them for me. I'm at the point where I'm going to pay someone else to do them again and file an addendum if/when the taxes that Bill and his team did are wrong. If I had the time, I would have sat in Bill's office and supervised him doing my taxes, but I thought I had a professional doing my taxes; I was wrong. Needless to say, I will never have Bill or Sean ever work on my taxes again; and I'll never hire them to handle any aspect of anything ever again. I've never worked with anyone with such poor time management skills, such poor communications skills, or such an inability to use basic computer skills such as sending an email (emails have subject lines for a reason, any email thread that Bill started has a blank subject line, so I have no idea what emails and responses are to what). I wouldn't trust Bill or Sean with counting the change in a piggy bank much less our taxes which come with legal risk associated with them if they are wrong. If I had known there was an issue in March, I would have simply found another person to handle our taxes. But because I let things go until it was too late, I had no choice but to pay to have work done, which I need to pay to have redone.

Over the course…read moreof the past few years that satisfaction is diminishing, primarily due to lack of good old customer service. If you call the office, all you ever get is voicemail and then no courtesy of a return call. E-mail inquiries are handled the same, no courtesy of a response. If you go to their office, the door is locked during published business hours. We are frustrated with this lack of response and are stuck as we have two years worth of taxes to complete and need sktax's knowledge of past filings to complete. Bottom line, if you are looking for a reliable and responsive service, suggest you look elsewhere. As an addendum to the above, finally received an email response to our multiple requests for contact. After hand delivering our two years of tax files to Steve personally in mid September we are now told in mid November that the earliest that Steve will complete our work is Feb. 2021.
