Supposedly because of two unfixed tax returns from 2024. I hired this company because of their non-corporate approach. John Michael was well aware that in 2023-2024: (a) I was the primary caretaker of my mother battling terminal cancer,(b) our family incurred significant losses due to hurricane Helene, (c) because of the local economy I have been forced to work out of town most of the time and (d) fell victim to a brokerage firm fraud scam. If you are looking for a tax accounting firm that cares about their customers, I suggest looking elsewhere.

During that time, I had the privilege to work with the hardest working community and business development professionals in the game - anywhere - and the Mountain BizWorks staff and programs led the way. Western North Carolina is blessed to be served by this group. I was especially impressed with the growth and innovation they brought to the outdoor recreation industry which is an anchor of the region's economy.

After months of inconsistent, convoluted and inaccurate information provided by their staff, in particular Kelly Foster, we were stuck with a ding to our personal credit that could have been avoided, not to mention debt that must be paid. Fast forward, the incompetency of their Executive Director, Matt Raker, was also revealed - after once again, reaching out to them, completing the necessary forms in order to get some relief, he replies back after weeks with what amounted to a "sucks for you". My opinion is that this group is unsophisticated at best, but more likely simply incompetent starting from the top down. Avoid them and try other lenders if you're looking to start/grow a business.
