Never did. Very dissapointing that no accountablility or even professionalism took place. Just common courtesy to respond. No respect for our time, definately was not paying attention to detail in our emails and full of excuses from the front desk. Would not reccommend.

Very disappointed in DKB CPA and his team. I received a square invoice for taxes which were…read morecompleted, but because I didn't pay the invoice when they wanted me to, they tacked on a 1.5% late fee that was not disclosed at anytime until after I asked for a copy of their policies and a copy of the form I signed agreeing to these terms, and then only received an actual copy of the invoice after I paid it, which does indicate the notice of finance charge. Mind you they charged me almost $1700 to do 3 years of taxes. Very poor customer service and communication especially if you call them out on something. I DO NOT RECOMMENDED THIS COMPANY!!!

When I first set down with Micheal I ask him numerous times on his charges and he responded that he did not know because he didn't know how much time it would take. He never once stated he gets $200/hr and his partner $165/hr. So as you are sitting down talking about the weather, sports, etc. you are getting charged. I told Micheal, a man with 41 yrs of so-called experience he should have been able to quote the services I was needing and that most everything in life is quoted!!!! It was my mistake I should have found another accountant that had a clue on what the charges might have been. I was charged $916.45 to do personal tax returns, so if you are reading this go somewhere else don't even let him do personal returns. This man will rob you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Burtons Bookkeeping

Unfortunately, I had a horrific experience with Heather. I hired Burton's Bookkeeping to pay my…read moresales tax. I have never owned a small business before so I had no idea how to do the sales tax. Since I needed Heather's help quickly, I signed the contract while in my car to get her started. Even though we discussed in depth that taxes was why she was hired, her contract did not cover that, but the necessity to get her started was larger than messing with the contract (big mistake). I worked with Heather for 6-months where she walked me through paying sales tax. My Accountant came on board in October. They started going through Heather's work and found a huge amount of mistakes. The net of it was that I owed an additional $15,000 in sales taxes and $5,000 in late fees. As you can image I was blown away and being a new small business was very hurt by paying that since it was a surprise. When I spoke with Heather about this issue, she told me she doesn't do taxes. She offered to pay me back for half a month of her service, which I have to say is also overpriced. $500/month for the amount of work that was done is ridiculous! My accountants bookkeeper is only charging me $300/month and doing much more work....accurately. This experience was awful and a very rough way to being a new business. Be warned and think twice before jumping on board with Burton's Bookkeeping.

In working with Scott over the years I have realized, had I hired him to handle my divorce originally, I wouldn't still be having all these issues years later.

He could never take blame for his clerical mistake and it cost me almost two years of waiting to receive my tax return. He didn't hesitate to blame anyone else involved to keep his name out of the mud and that was unbecoming of such an outspoken christian that he claims to be. This is the type of establishment that i would recommend all parties avoid completely. Its not worth saving the extra dollars in the long run, You Get What You Pay For!!! I forgot to mention that he was the tax information for a business I worked for as he inserted my phone number in the section where my social was supposed to go (A phone number has more numbers than a social will ever have). As a business owner I might reconsider who is in charge of my finances because I would never trust anyone who tells me to lie to the IRS so that an issue can be a quick fix instead of addressing a self made issue head on. I am utterly disgusted, Shelton Financial I implore you to have better standards and much higher morals in the future.
