I looked into becoming a client with Accountability Services. They very strongly want you to buy…read moretheir services for what they call a strategic roadmap and wanted me to pay them $9500 just for that. When I asked for an example of strategic roadmap or for a list of what was included in it they would not give me a direct answer. They pontificated about how it depends on clients situation and said it's a heady and complicated subject. They were very prompt in sending me requests for payment after every interaction I had with them but didn't answer a single one of my questions asking what was included in their services. My experience aligns with the poor reviews here. They like to say "our teams knowledge and experience makes what we charge worth it". But I'm sorry saying that you're knowledgeable does not make it so. When they can't even show a basic understanding of what a good financial plan should include by at a minimum putting into a list what it includes for potential clients that does not instill confidence.

He talked me off the ledge with his down to earth demeanor and patiently walked me through how to respond to this egregious error on the part of the IRS.

I am incredibly grateful to Ernie for helping be with what could have been a completely devastating financial situation.

For years we have done them ourselves on TurboTax, but we expect they might be more complicated next year - so, as a test, we tried Buffalo Run for 2024 on a recommendation from someone. We very much regret that we did that. They emailed us on the afternoon of Friday, April the 11th, saying that they would not be able to get our taxes completed by the deadline on the 15th, and recommended we be sure to just pay to the IRS what we owed for taxes last year. Oh, and don't worry, "we wont charge you for filing the extension". Not even a phone call from them. They get a grade of FAIL from me. Very dissatisfied.

I had a good experience with Flatirons Advisors in 2024, but I'm updating my review because my 2025…read moreexperience was very negative and I can no longer recommend them. I have complicated crypto taxes and did my best to communicate this from the start, including a 45-minute call with Steve specifically about my crypto taxes before my 2024 return was filed. I made clear that the documents I sent, including a Schedule 1, were generated by my crypto tax software. In 2025, I discovered that the Schedule 1 income I provided had been left off my 2024 return. Steve never asked me what it was, never requested supporting documentation, and never told me he was omitting it. He simply left it off silently. When I raised it, he claimed he hadn't known I had complicated crypto taxes, which I believe is false and I have messages with the firm showing we discussed it. He also declined to prepare my 2025 return due to the crypto complexity, leaving me to find a new preparer on short notice. When I requested a refund of my 2024 prep fee, he refused unless I provided evidence of the income's source. While compiling that, I found that a mistake in my tax software had overstated the figure, and that the corrected amount was lower. I decided the refund wasn't worth pursuing, and I'm having the amendment handled by another firm. Steve was right to question the number. But the professional response was to ask for documentation before filing, not to silently drop income off a return without a word to the client. At no point did he acknowledge any mistake or take any accountability. In my opinion, that handling was not what a client should expect from a tax preparer, and based on my experience, I can't recommend them.

They used to be on time with filing and priced reasonably. But 2022, my taxes were filed beyond late; 2021 personal taxes weren't filed until MARCH OF 2023, and I just received the bill for that to the tune of $1160 with a late fee for an invoice that wasn't received until today. My 2021 business taxes weren't filed until Feb of 2023, but they sent me the invoice to pay in fall of 2021. It's a complete scam.

They have consistently gone over and above to help me--I have two businesses so my taxes are more complex than if I were employed--and these two keep me on track all year long.

I read one of the negative reviews from a few years back and, although I sense that Greg is very busy in his firm, I have never felt as if he didn't want to work with me even though I am certainly not wealthy. I have had to remind him 2-3 times over the years to follow up on something he forgot, meaning he had not gotten back to me. Yes, this firm charges higher prices than comparable firms but not as much as the CPA I was using.
