Pricing is not the only questions asked if we are assessing for your companies capabilities which judging by your responses to these poor reviews, is not much. Gave them a call to assess if this would be a good choice to file my taxes this year as i am new to the area/state. Upon calling, she answered a few of my questions but continuously referenced me to the website in which i did have open. I proceeded to mention that chatting is easier for me to understand and will look at the website after. As i paused a bit, she commented that if i didnt have any other questions, there are a lot of phone calls coming in. Well, if the initial encounter isn't good, i cant imagine the rest.

The biggest error was their failure to file Form 568 for my LLC for TY 23 and 24, costing us over $600 in fines and interest from the state, even though that form was in TY 2022. Terri takes on too many clients and I have found is not responsive to phone calls (left on the company message system, emails and trying to contact her through other staff members. Once tax season is over, forget trying to get a response. I am having to file a small claims court suit over recovering the fees our business has incurred due to their failure to file a form. Should I have known about the form that needs to filed? Probably but isn't that why I hire "professionals"?

Unfortunately, it's smoke and mirrors. What will take your CPA 3 hours to accomplish (simple 1 month reconciliation for several accounts), Angie will charge $10,000 over 1 month (May 7 to June 9), and not deliver a single promised result (...not an exaggeration). She will then inform you that she does not do refunds, after acknowledging that this is NOT stated anywhere in her contract nor mentioned in conversation. Do not make the same mistake we did.

As a small business owner, it is imperative to have books that are up to date! I struggled for…read moreyears to find a bookkeeper that was reliable, honest, knowledgeable, and responsive! The last bookkeeper I had billed me monthly for work she did not do! I was very upset to find out that she had not entered anything into my Quickbooks for months. I needed to get my taxes filed, and my books reconciled. Melinda was recommended by my accountant of more than 10 years. She is amazing. She is professional, efficient and got my books up to date in a week! Six months of untouched reconciling, in one week! The stress of owning a business can be overwhelming, during a pandemic even worse! Having a bookkeeper who has your back is imperative! Melinda helped me apply for PPP, and grants that were lifelines for my business. She is the best of the best. I can't recommend enough!
