This is a bait and switch scheme. Called Shimika via Yelp listing and discussed needed services for taxes and accounting. She made a verbal and email offer of $2,500 which I accepted. She requested $1,000 down payment to which I agreed. 3 days before sending her down payment I started to send documents. She confirmed receipt and told me what else I needed to provide. On the 3rd day of sending her documents I agreed to send $1,000 via Zelle as a down payment to her while we were on the phone together discussing my documents. 2 days later (with calls and emails in between) she calls me early on a Saturday morning and told me it will now be $12,500 for the exact same services. That's 5 times higher than her written offer and thus the bait and switch scheme... She said it was more work than expected and that is what she needed. I of course did not agree with the reasoning but decided against debating too much. I requested that she just send my $1,000 back which she agreed to do. GUESS WHAT, it has been 3 weeks & I HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING and NO FURTHER CORRESPONDENCE from her although I have politely reached out many times. Her assistant - 3 days after the bait & switch - reached out to me and said they believed they only owed me $250 out of the $1,000. Of course this was unacceptable. I am not aware of where her morals or business acumen comes from but in my upbringing I was always taught to treat people with honor. This company is a far cry from honorable. Do business with this company at your own risk - be sure to only spend what you can lose... read more

What can I say Shimika was great! She immediately responded to my message. Other offices I called asked me to text/call them next week. Never met a tax consultant who is totally down with just texting/calling, ya know? The first 3 tax preparer offices I called were more of the old-fashioned kind where they make you call them to go through the questioning process with their team before finally getting to talk to the actual tax preparer themselves (since I had many questions) and required that you go into their office. There was no personal touch to those 3 tax preparer offices and it felt like you were just another number to them. Shimika wasn't any of that. She was totally personable. Very professional, very knowledgeable, informative, and honest. That last one is very important in my books. Shimika, based on this one experience, I would totally recommend her and I would not hesitate to reach out to her again for tax advice in the future. That extra mile of calling me on a weekend, especially added that extra touch. You also get a free consultation too! read more

OMG... It is now clear that this lady lied to me from the very beginning. She made a lot of promises and couldn't fulfill any of them. She asked for $500 total for 1 year of taxes with the company and later raised it to $2,500 with no real explanation. When I rejected this unprofessional robbery attempt she refused to refund my down payment of $100 or give me any benefit for my down payment. I am still waiting for something from her. I feel sorry for anyone who decides to do business with this company and it's very dishonest owner name SHIMIKA DAVIS. Good luck to all!!! Please tread carefully... read more
