As if taxes aren't stressful enough…read more.. Don't fall for the smoke & mirrors. Duke is charismatic but runs client credit cards without written estimates, contracts, or agreements for frivolous amounts ($50k each) that exceed anything a Big Four accounting firm would charge. Essentially charging you for services you don't need, want, or use--IN ADVANCE. He will do this privately without the usual procedures involving his client concierge or onboarding agents like Austin or Taylor. Blaming automated billing systems, merchant software, He will say whatever is needed to buy time. It appears as though misappropriated client funds are carrying his business and lifestyle. Everything is "5-10 business days" or "the card is showing as declined on my end". You would think that a licensed tax professional would run meticulous accounting on their business accounts--not here. You will have to pay another more reputable firm to correct everything. Spend countless hours disputing credit card charges. Etc. This is absolutely terrifying that someone like this has all of your most privileged information. Existing clients be sure to check your credit reports!! He is actively being investigated for credit card fraud, EA misconduct, BEWARE!!

I went to see Don Brown because i was in desperate straights. He was a nice guy who enjoyed talking…read moreabout his faith. There were some red flags, but i paid him $550 (a LOT of money for me). After months of no response from the IRS and no communication from this company, I finally went in person and was told that he was not seeing customers and that he only communicates through email. The reply to my email came with an erratic lecture instead of an apology and an accusation that i lied about his office not returning phone calls. When i threatened to contact the BBB and write a review online, he wrote that he was terminating pur agreement and said that if i contacted his office again he was going to call the local law enforcement and the IRS on me! I'm assuming that i have to kiss the $550 goodbye

If you are looking for a partner to help with your accounting needs, this is not the place. When reached out to J Chester & Associates I explained to the firm manager, David Perez, exactly what I was looking for in an accountant. He was happy to take my money, have me fill out a form, then pass me along to others within the firm. I repeatedly requested a phone call with an accountant and was ignored completely. Next thing I know my taxes were filed, without ever speaking to me directly about any deductions I may be entitled to, my small business or any other personal information that may be pertinent. Don't believe the positive reviews about this firm, I sure wish I hadn't.
