I recently used Cukierski & Associates to complete my 2023 taxes. This firm is only interested in…read moreone item - namely your money! I specifically advised the partner in charge of handling my tax return at the beginning of the engagement - that I would require an extension as I was about to enter the hospital to undergo a medical procedure. He was new to me. I was constantly told and hounded by one of their administrative staff they would require immediate payment for services. I had advised this same person several times I would pay my invoice as soon as my medical procedure was completed and I was released from the hospital. ( I always pay my bills.) Despite advising this person several times of my situation, and having advised the partner in charge of my situation, at the very beginning of the engagement with him, this administrative person who was extremely obnoxious would not let up. The invoice was not very large, a little over $500. The only reason I wound up with this firm was I previously used a former partner of the firm, who did OK but not great work on my tax returns. My wife at the time was friends with one of the accountant partners wife of this firm. This prior partner did not know and could not handle the tax information for 529 accountants very well. As I had 3 sons who fortunately now have all graduated from college. I had to literally walk him through the 529 tax information each year and how to handle it. He is now retired, fortunately. My advice to you is to stay away from this accounting firm unless you like being constantly and relentlessly pressured.

Edward Bray Consulting does awesome work. I started coming here about 10 years ago. My sister had…read morebeen recommending Ed for many, many, many, many (ok get the point) years My PREVIOUS accountant was very good and he always got me a great return, but sometimes I didn't feel comfortable with some of the deductions he was using. He always told me that if we were audited he would help us with the IRS. Well he passed away and my friend that recommended and also used him was audited and left holding the bag for $17k (Previous accountant NOT Ed Bray) This is not the case with Edward Bray he also does an awesome job. Ed really knows the tax codes and does everything by the book. He is very knowledgable and at the same time he always seems to find a way to get us a return. Here it is July 7th and we're filing late as usual. Hopefully we get a return because we had a short sale on a building we owned. Ed is getting up there in years and has had some health issues lately that have restricted his hours, but he still does a great job and is highly recommended.

They do not respond to emails... got my social security number wrong and bank account wrong... I sent everything in my email, I don't understand how you can mess up the social security number, it's literally on my W2 ... and bank account information ? I looked for the bank info, the Routing number and account number they put on my tax return was a totally different bank in Minnesota. As a returning customer... how could it happen ??? I started tax return in Feb... now the end of March, nothing get fixed, I had to call them to find out what went wrong. Kept asking me my email and phone number every time I call, but didn't really follow up. Honestly, I would've gone to a different accountant if I hadn't paid them. Very very disappointed.

I had a very frustrating experience working with Ben as my accountant…read more I was not clearly informed that missing the October tax deadline would result in significant penalties, which left me facing an unexpected fine of over $7,000. In my experience, important deadlines and consequences were not communicated upfront, despite me relying on him for guidance. There was also an error on my 2024 tax return that led to a $300 IRS bill, which I provided to him when he prepared my 2025 taxes. Unfortunately, that issue was not addressed and has since gone into collections. Communication has been a major issue throughout. Emails often take three to four weeks for a response, and phone calls are rarely returned. I've also followed up multiple times regarding an email he said he would send to the IRS, but it was never completed despite repeated confirmation that it would be handled. Additionally, I was placed on an automatic IRS withdrawal plan that I did not knowingly authorize, and when I asked for clarification, I was told to look it up myself online rather than receiving assistance or resolution. Overall, I did not feel supported or properly informed, and the lack of responsiveness made an already stressful situation much worse. Based on my experience, I would not recommend his services
