I received wonderful, caring, accurate, financial help from James Fritz CPA…read more My last tax return was done at Waterfront CPA Group after being treated very rudely by a crotchety, old scheduler for H & R Block. Despite being an H&R customer for more than a decade, I was treated like a giant pain when I asked for the specific tax preparer who'd done my taxes the year before. But now I am grateful to that rude old goat because I contacted Waterfront to do them instead. I was able to get an almost immediate appointment with a professional who was friendly and helpful. The taxes were done in less than an hour, by a CPA (rather than simply a "tax preparer.") He accessed every legal deduction and gave me solid advice for next year. I can't believe I've been going to H and R Block for years, getting just adequate service, sometimes grudgingly. James Fritz, in the Silverdale office quickly did my taxes, saved me money, and then charged HALF of what H&R Block has been charging me! My taxes were the same difficulty, the same number of schedules and forms, as every previous year. But now, they were done by a CPA for half the cost! In the future, I will be certain to go to Waterfront CPA group for all of my tax and financial needs.

I utilized waterfront CPA for my taxes because I had complex taxes for 2021. I provided to them…read moreall the required documents to complete my taxes including the W2 that they left off my taxes. (to my fault I should have reviewed their work but that's why I hired them so I didn't have to) well turns out they completely left off a W2 and I owed more in taxes. the IRS hit me with a roughly 1,000 dollar penalty which they "paid" by doing my taxes this year free and refunding my 2021 tax fee. but because of their error I was responsible for a 470 dollar interest fee that they would not cover. so be prepared to review all of their work. if an error happens regardless If it was their fault, you will be responsible for the interest owed because of their error in addition to the tax you owe. I told them I would not have incurred the interest because I would have paid my full tax bill had it been prepared correctly, but they said that was policy. So unless they correct this policy I would look elsewhere for a more reputable company that takes responsibility for errors of their service. Respectfully I typically do not write reviews but because their error cost me an additional cost of almost 500 dollars and the IRS headache I was not a satisfied customer.

From the owner: Our goal is to facilitate the realization of the dream that led our client into starting their own…read morebusiness in the first place, rather than spending all of their time worrying about the daily operations of the business. We believe that business ownership should allow the entrepreneur more freedom to pursue personal goals. We believe that owning and operating a business should not simply be a replacement for a traditional 8-5 job, or worse, replacing an 8-hour work day with a 12-hour one. We believe that owning and operating a business should offer the entrepreneur to spend more time doing the things he or she enjoys, making life happier with less stress. Our solutions create the type of life the client desires. We spend the first few days interviewing our client about the vision and dreams that led to starting the business, and performing a thorough analysis of current business operations. Once we have gathered sufficient data, we develop a plan that will ensure that our client will be able to fulfill the vision, and enable the business to support the dreams, whatever those might be. Every client, and every business is unique. Therefore every solution is custom designed for the specific client. However, we aim to make our solutions affordable to every client.

Christa Smith is amazing! I am currently enrolled in a Mastermind Group brand coaching/consulting…read morecourse with her company, Savvy Brand Builder, and I've already reaped great results from my first 3 months of her course. In addition to being a sharp, energetic, and pleasant person, Christa isn't afraid to challenge you and force you to take a hard look at what you're doing in regards to your branding strategies. Personally, she has helped me reinforce and achieve further clarity on the "why" behind what I do (wealth management) and she has really helped me develop the always-important 10, 30, or 60-second personal commercials or elevator pitch. Additionally, she did a thorough review and audit of my entire online presence and social media pages. She exposed me to many new tips, tricks, and need-to-know pieces of information, all of which have helped me greatly. If you, or someone you know, is looking for a consultant who won't give you a bunch of "fluff" about your current strategies - but WILL give you an honest evaluation and steps to fix whatever is holding you back, Christa is your go-to gal. Needless to say, I would HIGHLY recommend Christa's services and her Mastermind Group coaching concept to anyone who is committed to branding themselves and take their business and brand strategies to the next level.

From the owner: Brand Strategy, Marketing, Business Development, Social Media…read more The types of clients I work with: Dedicated Real Estate Professionals (Realtors, Brokers, Mortgage Loan Officers, Title Reps, etc.) who have done an excellent job representing their clients, but have a hard time obtaining new clients consistently because they haven't figured out how to stand out from the crowd of other Real Estate Professionals in their area and create their own unique brand. Business Owners who entered into business without a Strategy. Or, perhaps, over time, your business has evolved from where it started and you haven't had the time to implement a new business strategy, plan or brand because you've been too busy handling the day to day. Entrepreneurs who work as Independent Contractors. They've spent most of their career branding big companies, forgetting they are Independent Contractors. What happens if they decide to move on? They haven't figured out how to stand out from the crowd and create a personal brand. Business Owners looking to re-brand or who have marketed their business so well, when it comes time to open a different business or expand and open a different leg of the business, they feel like they are starting over because their clients know the initial business so well they aren't welcoming of change. Or worse, they branded this company they created, sell it, and find they have a non-compete agreement prohibiting them from doing business with their entire network.

I struck up a conversation with a small business owner who was sharing a few business challenges…read moreduring a networking event. I had never met this individual before nor did we have a mutual contact. As he asked me questions (buying signal!) about how I worked with other business owners, I invited him to the next step which led to his asking me for my card. At which point, I told him I could do one better and offer him a taste of coaching with a 30 min complimentary session. I pulled out my phone with my calendar and invited him to set up a date/time! In prep of the call, I created my 3 pricing options using your bonus pricing training and scripted it out with the 'ask' questions. I stuck to the script and as I reviewed it today following our prospect session - he chose my 6-month executive coaching program. I landed another client at a price that represents the value created.

I'd recommend Shawn to anyone: his knowledge, efficiency, customer engagement, and outcomes…read moredelivered are outstanding. He's a networking and IT superstar. Costs: If you are upgrading your home network or other capability, and need to buy new/more gear, Shawn doesn't charge a markup on the equipment. In fact, once he's designed your solution he will provide you with links to the exact products required and let you buy them directly from the vendors if desired. Or he'll buy them himself and present you with the receipts. Hourly rate: With the skills Shawn possesses, his hourly rate is substantial. And it should be. However, you can still bring your project in at a very reasonable cost PROVIDED you can be a smart customer. By this I mean you must be clear on the capabilities you want to achieve--or at least be able to listen to Shawn describe what's possible and then make rapid decisions. If instead you want a lot of customer education, Shawn can do that too because he knows an immense amount about IT and can communicate effectively. However, it's a bit like paying for a neurosurgeon to teach you about the types of aspirin available to treat a headache. That doesn't make sense; get a nurse instead! In my case, my wife and I work from the house. My goals were to increase the reliability of our home network. We wanted better maintainability (so when the internet goes down I can rapidly identify the problem and fix it). We wanted better network security. I wanted to add a home security camera because of problems with car prowls, etc. And finally, I wanted to move our networking gear out of our super-hot furnace room to a cooler and cleaner location. This was a lot. Other vendors had previously failed to come up with an affordable solution--or any solution at all. Shawn showed us how to do it for a very reasonable sum. Once we had a plan, I was able to control costs by getting a carpenter friend to open up the wall and pull wires through to the new location for the gear. Shawn also kept costs down by allowing me to provide extra hands as he mounted gear on the wall, connected all of our wireless access points to the new console, etc. These steps all require two people. Shawn was willing to let me help and he even maintained a high level of wit and good-natured ribbing throoughout the long day of work. In sum: great outcome, great satisfaction, great price.
