We've had an interesting experience working with this firm over the past few years. During our first year, there were some inconsistencies, but we chose to give them the benefit of the doubt. This year--our third year using their services--we were charged nearly double what we paid the previous year. When we questioned the increase, we were told that the prior pricing was not reflective of their standard rates. They did issue a partial refund of around $100, but the situation still raised concerns. Additionally, we were assigned a new tax preparer this year, which made the significant increase in cost even more surprising. Overall, the experience left us feeling uncertain about the consistency and transparency of their pricing and service. read more

These guys forgot to send in paperwork to IRS I had filled out. I had to pay fees and deal with the hassle because they did not do there part. Amanda Hayes could not have done a worse job, and really screwed me over. read more

As you consider your options this tax season, we STRONGLY discourage you from using Paramount Tax. We and our family were longstanding Paramount Tax customers, using them every year since they were a local tax preparation shop. However, in recent years, after John stepped back and they started franchising, the quality of service steeply dropped. Just a few lowlights from their service. 1) They sent back draft tax forms that were populated halfway with our tax materials, and half with someone else's tax materials. They were unapologetic when we asked them what happened. 2) Despite sending all requisite forms (including for an EV purchase) they neglected to include the forms, omitting $7,500 in tax credits. We had to correct them, and hand hold them through entering the information (despite clearly providing all the information in our original correspondences). 3) There were numerous other minor and (major) errors and omissions, including omitting IRA contributions, miscoding those contributions (resulting in possible tax burdens), and getting income and contribution numbers incorrect. 4) Their customer service is rude and unprofessional. When we had the audacity to question their preparation and to explain that they had made numerous errors, they told us this would be the "last year they would do our taxes". I cannot emphasize enough that you should look elsewhere for your tax preparation. If you use Paramount, you will be sorely disappointed. read more

Paramount is pathetic. I lost all video and I called them. Instead of listening to me the representative spent his time feeding me the typical bullshit excuses. Paramount plus owes its customers refunds if they can't deliver the service that they offer. read more

Another painless tax appointment with Mark and David. This is our 5th year with them and we will be back next year. I recommend anyone looking for a CPA to come check them out. They are knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. P.S. they have very clean restrooms!! read more

When I met with Paramount they were really excited to get me out of their office it seemed. I had questions about stock options I had and they seemed really unknowledgeable about how to deal with those. And it seemed the were trying to avoid the conversation instead of saying "I am not sure about that, I will get more information for you." They asked me to email my tax return to them. I asked them if their email was secure. They said it was. I then received phishing emails from their accountant's email address a few months later. When I emailed them about this they only said it was fixed quickly and there is no reason to worry. I was really disappointed in their lack of transparency and "hand waving" response. I didn't return. read more

I have gone to Paramount Tax and Accounting for the past several years and have always been very happy with their service. This past year, my accountant changed and so did the service. I called them to get things straightened out, leaving multiple messages and sending 2 emails within a few days for Dave, to be sure and get things rectified prior to my taxes being submitted. I have not received a call, message, or email back even acknowledging that he has even received them. I am hoping this poor review gets his attention. I'm a little bit frustrated.... read more

We have been coming here for years. They have always been very helpful with our taxes. I'm glad we had stumbled across this place when we moved to Utah. I'd highly recommend if you need tax and accounting services. read more

Second year using Paramount Tax and another great experience. Between my business, W2 and 1099 income, my returns are complicated yet Paramount makes it smooth and we've been done in under an hour. Great pricing, wonderful and professional staff. Their expertise has saved me thousands on things I wouldn't have caught doing my own taxes. read more

Jon and his team at Paramount are very knowledgeable and amazing! My husband and I won't go anywhere else. Jennifer and Mel Quinn read more

Horrible service. Did not pay any attention to worksheets presented. Didn't even get our name right on the return I wouldn't let them submit. read more

We went with Paramount Tax through Dave Ramsey's ELP referral system. We were so pleased with Sidney Williams as she took the time to answer all of our questions. We would definitely come back again! read more

Very friendly, very quick customer service, and very expensive. I have some background in accounting, but was confused by some of the new tax laws, so I wanted help. I found out about Paramount because they are one of Dave Ramsey's ELPs. They had the heart of a teacher. They were very prompt in their communication with me and a pleasure to work with, but they never once mentioned over the phone or in email communication how much they would charge to do my taxes. By the end of filing my taxes, they hit me with a $500 charge. They were nice enough to knock it down to $400, but it was still too steep of a charge. I think I will go back to Turbo Tax in the future. I might go back to Paramount to double check my work if Turbo Tax says that I owe taxes. I knocked off two stars because of the high price and lack of communication about pricing. read more

My Wife and I recently moved here from out of state. We needed to get our taxes done, so we went there to see if we could make an appointment, but they were able to get us in right then. Parker, who handled our tax return had a great personality and we had a great time during to process. We will definitely be returning here in the future for our taxes, and any other CPA needs that we have. read more

I went here to get help filing an estate federal and UT tax forms. Bad software, bad advice which ended up costing the estate $1000 in tax penalties - Big promises and no delivery. As for Jon W.'s reply... Sorry to say, but yes I was a client of your company. This review was totally accurate - I dealt with Jeff Barlow and I was not happy with the results. read more

Fast efficient friendly knowledgeable professional engaged

I have used Paramount to help review my 2017 taxes as well as help my relatives deal with an IRS questionnaire. In both circumstances the staff here were very competent and friendly and I would definitely use them again. read more

Another great tax year with John and his team! Seriously..... you need an accountant and Paramount is the best.

I wish I didn't have to post a star review with this because I didn't want it to reflect on the quality of service. Just let it be know that I called today to get some basic information and was given the choice to contact three different people. I chose three for Jon first and the phone just went dead. No further prompt, not leave a message, just silence. I called back twice and chose the other two choices. Same result. Called back a fourth time and just decided to wait for the tone to leave a message. Same result. They may provide excellent service (and by the reviews I'm pretty sure they do) but I can't think of a more unprofessional introduction to the firm. If I am able to update or delete this review after I receive a response to it, please let me know so I can consider it. Thanks read more

John is the man. He knows everything about taxes! Also has a great staff. If you are considering a new tax guy I wouldn't search anymore, you found the guy. read more

This year was my first experience with PTACPA and I was very happy with Chantel and her team. The whole office is friendly and warm and as a new business owner doing taxes for the first time that made the whole tax experience much more comfortable. You'll be happy too! read more

Christy was so awesome she helped me so much and was able to work around my crazy work schedule. If you want a break down of your taxes and clarity on what everything means she's the one to go to. It was personable as well as fast and friendly. It was mine and my husbands first time there as we just moved from California we highly recommend this place to everyone. We will most definitely be back next year. read more

RACIST & DISCRIMINATION AGAINST MINORITY WOMAN? In Feb, I went here to get a quote for filing taxes and was told to meet with the data entry person. At the end of the consultation, the data entry person (female probably in her 20s with long hair) asked if they can match a competitor price called 2 CPAs in the separate room and closed the door. All 3 of them (all Caucasians) then came out of the room and cornered me in a circle and started throwing insults at me while physically pointing their fingers at me. One of the CPAs who claimed to the be co-owners's brother stood over me and continue to talk down to me (he must have weighed over 200lbs so I felt physically trapped in this circle) while they continued to throw insults at me. I was terrified and panicked so I walked out of the office and drove around the area because I feared that someone might follow me home and continue to harass me. I am a minority woman who speaks good English and yet was insulted and discriminated against by 2 CPAs and the data entry girl, all of whom is caucasian. Please do not trust such a business with your taxes that discriminates against minorities. I am mortified at the way I was treated because of my skin color and I am very disappointed that such a racist business exists! read more

I've used Paramount Tax for many years and highly recommend them. For the past two years we've had Sidney do our returns and find her knowledgeable, happy to answer any questions, and very nice. She now does my daughter's taxes as well, and those of my friend, her family, and her mother. I pass many other tax preparers on my way to to Paramount, and it's totally worth it. read more

They were so nice, accommodating and helped with my taxes not only quickly but also reviewed some of my circumstances with several people. Everyone wanted to help and make sure that my situation had the attention and focus that I hoped for. This was my first year working them and won't be the last! I would highly recommend working with them for all your accounting needs. read more

I have been using Paramount for two years in a row now and they are always super friendly and helpful. I'm in and out of there in no time and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and honest place to go :) read more

They were great and fast, and got us more back than we expected for our tax return. The office was friendly and responsive and competent. I will be going to them for the future tax needs I might have read more

We've enjoyed our tax preparation experiences with Paramount Tax for 8 years and counting. They're cordial and professional in getting the best tax refund or outcome possible. read more

Paramount did an AMAZING job with my personal and business taxes. The process was simple and smooth. I am referring all my friends and family so they can have the same remarkable service. read more

First, let me say that as a small business owner I have been doing my taxes via an online tax software app for many years. This year I knew I needed to bite the bullet because of my business growth and I wanted to rid myself of that stress. But, before I did that, I needed to find a tax prep outfit that would understand my needs and would be able to take that tax prep burden off of my hands. I met Jon Wilhelm (owner) through a networking group I belong to. After getting a some education from Jon on changing my business filing status, I had him amend my 2012-14 tax returns to see if I would get any additional refunds. He was able to get me a total refund of close to $7000 (federal and state combined) for two of those tax years! Long story short, they are taking care of my 2015 personal and business taxes. Jon's staff has been great to work with and attentive to any questions I have had. I recommend Paramount Tax & Accounting CPAs to anyone that wants to lighten their tax-filing-load! read more

Jon and his team go above and beyond! Taxes are to important to just go anywhere, go see Paramount!

I've had my taxes done by Paramount for a number of years. They are thorough, take care in the advise they give and provide outstanding service. I'm always surprised how affordable they are too. They save me from over paying on taxes every time. read more

I have been using Paramount for years, and after having a variety of skilled accountants and CPA's for my business accounting and personal taxes, I have learned how to identify the most important things I need to see done to be able to trust that I am meeting regulations in business and personal. I also need to be confident that they will always be up to date with new regulations, and be able to point out benefits that I am able to leverage to cut back expenses. Paramount delivers on all counts, which has freed me to focus my time on other aspects of my business. read more

This was my first time going to Paramount, and it was a great experience! Sara was friendly and very knowledgeable. Even though I had the last appointment of the day, she never made me feel rushed. She did a very thorough job and was easily accessible when I had questions later. She even offered to do my son's taxes at 8:00 p.m. on tax day. I will definitely go back! read more

There is not a better word for Paramount Tax & Accounting than "Amazing". From the minute that I stepped inside their office and was warmly greeted by their receptionist, I felt like I was their most important client. When Jeff & Malcolm greeted me with their smile and firm hand shake, I knew immediately that my income tax concerns were in good hands. The interview was informative, fact finding, short & sweet. Having been accustomed to 1 to 8 months of tax preparation by my former CPA, I was amazed that at the completion of this initial interview, my tax return was displayed to me on their large state of the art computer screen mounted on the wall. I verbally expressed my shock of looking at my tax return. I couldn't believe that I didn't have to wait months. I highly recommend Paramount Tax & Accounting for all your taxes. You won't be disappointed. read more

As soon as I walked into Paramount Tax for the first time everybody was very friendly, professional and wanted to find out how they could help you with your needs not just another number in line. As soon as John, Jeffrey and Malcolm started preparing my taxes they were very thorough and went through how they could help me the best and made sure I understood all my tax deductions before we finished. I know I will go back again next year just on how they treated me and did my taxes but if that wasn't enough when I asked if they could do my sons taxes they not only said yes but also didn't charge me for this. read more

I've used the same cpa for 30+ years. I decided to try Paramount this year. From the moment I walked into the office, everyone I came in contact with was so nice and accommodating. Not your typical "stuffy" accounting firm. Everyone was very professional and knowledgeable. Christy was so helpful and friendly. I would recommend Paramount to all of my family and friends. read more

Jon Wilhelm is amazing! His knowledge and expertise saved me thousands. I highly recommend him!

The Paramount Tax Office are all so awesome!!! This is my second year using them, and I don't know what I was thinking not finding a CPA 10 years ago. I would always use Turbo Tax and stress my way through it, just crossing my fingers that I did everything right. But now, the stress has gone down drastically, and I know I am in very capable, qualified, hands. Having a CPA prepare taxes decreases my chances of being audited, and even if I am, I know that I have a team of professionals to answer all my questions and help me through it. Really, that is priceless. I would NEVER go any where else. I have priced it out and going to those "other" tax prep places where the people are trained the month before they prep your taxes is about the same! Clearly going with the professional with years of experience is the way to go, and that is what I tell all my friends and family. Thank you Jon, Adam, and Shanna specifically! See you next year!! read more

Great company, Jon and his staff are the most knowledgeable CPA's I know. They made sure I did not pay any more than I needed too. Very professional staff. They do all my friends and families taxes and they rave about how great they are. Give them your business you'll be glad you did. read more
