Through email correspondence: After my 2024 taxes went up and I questioned the cause, asking if any…read moredeductions had been missed, I was invited to find my own deductions. This is the primary service for which I hire a CPA. I found that they had not applied a basic deduction in 2024 (one that they had applied in 2023) until it was brought to their attention. Their rate increase from 2023 was not initially disclosed nor explained and when asked if it was tied to to their additional labor to correct their omission of a tax deduction, I was told they actually had not charged me for the extra labor. I was given the option where my filing would be withheld until the fee was paid or find another firm and start over. It was an unsatisfactory experience.

I will start off by saying that the two things I liked about this firm was they are nice people and…read moreoffer fair prices for their services. However, as someone with a full time career and a small business on the side my needs differ from other reviewers. I normally do my taxes myself, but this was my first year in business and I did not feel comfortable doing my own taxes because l wanted to make sure my taxes were done by the books and I did not get audited, and I wanted to maximize my returns. As CPAs and tax attorneys Attaway should be able to do both, leaving me with little worries. Prices for a personal taxes are going to cost more than business tax prep. For a business the cost of doing taxes will range based on complexity, but I have a sole proprietorship pass-through LLC with only 1 year in business. I was very happy with the price I was given ($450). Granted, I did all the leg work by printing a report general ledger, which I used an accounting software to create. There was quiet a bit of detail which made things easier for them and I had stayed on top of my earnings and deductions. I also have a home office which is used 100% for work at both my 9-5 and side gig. I also had student loan interest, mortgage, investments, and charitable donations. It took about 3 weeks for them to process my taxes. During tax season this is a little on the high side, but realistic. The first problem I noticed was that they had me listed as married. I am glad I caught it because I would have gotten a lot back then had to pay thousands to the IRS. After having them correct this I decided to do a very thorough look at the rest of the report. The next BIG issue I found was that they elected to do a simple home office deduction instead of the more complex deduction. When I pointed this out and it was fixed my return went up over $1000. That would have been a very costly mistake! They also had me working from home only part of the year when I have been working from home for years. The next costly mistake was around my investments. I am not completely sure where they got the numbers for my capital gains but they were way off. After this was correctly my return went up even higher. Lastly, I was being urged to quickly look over my tax information then sign a release so that they could submit my taxes ASAP. However, a week went by after I signed so I reached out and was told they needed another signature to verify my bank account information. I had already done that, but technology isn't perfect and neither am I. I would not have been irritated if I had forgotten to save after signing, or if the software didn't record my signature. I WAS irritated that a week went by AND I had to reach to them to be told they were waiting on something. The lack of communication shows they are disorganized, which is worrisome, but it also delayed my return and put the burden on me when I am paying them to perform a service. The first mistake saw my return go from ~$8,000 to $4,500. After I caught the other mistakes and they were corrected my final return ended up being over $6,500. If I had not reviewed and corrected the professionals then I would have either owed money to the IRS or lost out on over $2,000. It probably goes without saying, I will not be using them again. If you are using them for personal taxes you would probably better off with Turbo Tax, especially if you itemize are are not comfortable with doing taxes. Other people had great reviews and they may have done a great job on their taxes, but those people may have also lost money and not known about it. If I had no tax knowledge, or was confused by a 1040 tax return statement, then I would have never known the money I was leaving on the table. If you own a business then go elsewhere, especially if you have complexities. I was interviewed by another well reviewed Atlanta CPA firm before choosing Attaway. They cost a little more, but a couple hundred more is worth saving a couple thousand and making sure you are in compliance.

I contacted Forbes Accounting & Consulting in March to receive assistance filing my business and…read morepersonal tax returns for 2019 since we were running behind on doing them ourselves. I had a free consultation with the CPA Jeri to discuss our business needs. Boy am I glad that I was able to speak to her!!!! She provided a wealth of info that my husband and I were able to act upon immediately in our businesses. She also made us aware of some business practices that we were making mistakes in that might require us to amend some tax returns. She included a review of the returns that I previously filed for us in the process of doing the 2019 tax prep. Jeri saved us SO much money!! She found errors in our 2016 & 2017 returns that resulted in us getting back thousands in tax refunds. I thought it was too late to amend 2016, but she got the amended return filed before the July deadline. She's currently amending our 2018 return while our 2019 return is on extension until October. She has been patient with us pulling our records and submitting them to her. Working with her virtually has not been a problem at all. It has actually been such a help since I often work on the list she provided us well into the night. She is very responsive via email and sends us updated lists of things we need to get to her or questions that she needs answered that we've been able to work on as we get time. Having the kids home from school while we both work from home has left little time to ourselves to handle the administration functions for the businesses, but Forbes Accounting & Consulting has been great for how we need to work right now. I look forward to working more with this great company in the future and learning so much more about improving efficiencies in the way we run our businesses. Thank you!

I met Jeri Forbes during an evening event at the Commerce Club for new members several months ago…read more Ms. Forbes seemed at that time to be professional and I was impressed with her breadth of knowledge in reference to tax laws. I have always been committed to supporting black-owned and operated businesses, and I contacted her in January of 2017 to inform her that I'd like for her accounting firm to handle my tax preparation for the 2016 year. She immediately sent me a bill for payment and a link to a BOX account with documents for me to complete in order for her to do her work. There was no statement of welcome or thanking me for choosing her company. I advised her that I had not yet received documents in the mail and would pay her fee and complete all documentation as soon as I received all of the necessary tax documents. She thereafter responded in a way that somewhat took me aback, indicating that I "was not a client until payment was remitted" and the I needed to remit payment to ensure that "all appropriate deadlines are met" or something to that degree. I, in essence, ignored the seeming brashness of the e-mail message and agreed to meet her requests in order for her to perform her services. What came after that and after I completed all of her forms, performed necessary corrections she recommended, remitted payment, and provided all documentation that she requested was nothing short of a substantive lack in professional decorum and a string of angry, tactless e-mail messaging to which I took significant umbrage. This extended over several months. Her e-mail messages all appeared to be essays that contained flippant and condescending terms and, at times, seems to be overly angry in tone. I asked her if she could please cut down on the length of the messages to ensure that I did not miss anything she requested of me. There were an abundance of statements lifted from previous messages with quotation marks and words in ALL CAPS, which in e-mail decorum delineates shouting. I attended a couple of networking events with her at Commerce Club and even in those events she was quite unprofessional and seemed to lack the tact of having a mind/mouth filter, simply stating any and everything that came to mind without recognizing the nature of the professional environment. All of these was quite eyebrow-raising. I happened to look for reviews on her here on YELP and other places, and found it quite odd that a woman who claims to have been in accounting practice for 20 years or so and purported to be "Atlanta's Number One Entertainment Accounting Firm" had absolutely no reviews anywhere. I also found it quite odd that the proclaimed CEO of an accounting agency was doing all of the corresponding with me and not one of her employed associates (if any exist). These were several reds flags. Well into my relationship with her as her client, I also learned that her reputation for being very aggressive, brash, and unprofessional with a variety of business professionals in the Atlanta Metropolitan area is known and many just do not prefer to work with her in light of that. I have been nothing but kind and accommodating to her from our initial meeting but felt the need after a series of of disparaging and unprofessional messages she sent to me to inform her that she was unprofessional and that she needed to remember that I was the paying client and she was not, and any message sent to me with negative wording with the intent to disparage would not be attended to. I have attached her response to me for any potential future clients to read to see the nature of this woman and her lack of professionalism in how she corresponds with clients. I honestly have never, ever worked with anyone so blatantly unprofessional to the point where I as a client felt that I was paying to be treated this way, which is never acceptable by any means. Her e-mail signature has the tenacity, really, to note that she would appreciate being referred to family members and friends. I would think not. For these reasons, I highly recommended against using Ms. Forbes' accounting or financial planning services until such time she understands that not only does being a professional require the knowledge and training in one's field of expertise, but the demeanor of professionalism is required as well. This she severely lacks. Aptitude without attitude is not an ideal combination conducive to business success, and I'm quite confident this experience is one from which she would learn. One must have both.
