I worked with Tim and his team over the course of two years. It became increasingly clear that his…read moreteam was unable to handle the complexity given their forgetfulness and lack of communication. I'd often have to ask a question two or three times to get a complete answer. I have an accounting/finance background and know what I am asking. In the second year, I asked them if they could handle the bookkeeping for my business and they accepted the responsibility. They claimed knowledge of the nuances of my business but it soon became apparent that they did not know anything about it. Then one fine day, they charged me $2100 for the bookkeeping (w/o a detailed invoice) and when I objected, they hurriedly gave me a $1400 discount. As soon as the check cleared, they sent me an email that they do not want to work with me anymore. No courtesy call, no explanation. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I found an accounting practice that actually knows accounting and more importantly, exudes humility and professionalism.

And what I have come to count on is his tidbits of advice when I call him. He is concise, to the point and knows his stuff. I have recommend him to my business partner and several of my clients, all of which sing his praise. Mike is more then our numbers guy, he is a partner in our business.

What can I add that hasn't already been said about David Fisher's practice? My mom had been using…read moreDavid's firm's services for over 10 years for both trust and personal taxes. When my father passed away, my mom struggled to pick up the pieces. Between filing for her own health insurance, preparing paperwork for his pension, and figuring out things she'd never had to figure out before, she was beside herself. She was diagnosed with a neurological condition and subsequently had a stroke. She was struggling to live and went into skilled nursing for a month so was unreachable. I contacted David's office since there had been an extension in filing date granted due to COVID, but wanted to also make sure I could pick things up in the meantime. I noted that there was a note saying my mom had used an incorrect TIN for one of the pieces of paperwork, and according to my mom, she'd been in the process of rectifying that problem. Finally, when she was out of skilled nursing and, thankfully, alive, in the process of engaging attorneys to establish DPOA and a trust (and figure out how to keep her home up, pay caregivers, and manage her health), I went to David's office to sign the submittals and pay for her taxes. I inquired as to why filing her personal taxes was double the cost of previous years and was told that the trouble of the incorrect TIN had "made a mess" of things and cost several hours. I'm an engineer, not a CPA, but I do know that correcting an error in a spreadsheet and communicating that to a client does not double the effort of the service. Additionally, my mom was on a fixed income, burdened with sudden insane caregiving costs, and was mourning her husband. Surely, a firm who had been preparing her taxes for over ten years would provide some reprieve and not charge her ~$1000 for her personal taxes consisting largely of a pension and social security - after all, as a family owned business, they have some discretion over what they charge clients. David emerged from his office as this discussion was happening with his wife, and subsequently asserted that if my mom was cognitively impaired and overwhelmed with grief that I should have taken over her finances earlier. My mother was a bookkeeper and fiercely independent. Additionally, I was grieving too. The absolute lack of compassion took me aback. They subsequently offered to reduce our bill if we agreed to not come back as a client, like many of the other reviewers here who have faced their rage when they challenge them. I accepted, and they offered to efile. A few days later, I received a letter and email regarding the termination of services with their firm and that they had changed their minds regarding filing our taxes - this was less than a week before the filing deadline. They also stipulated that we were not to use their work for filing, leaving a grief-stricken overwhelmed family scrambling to find a CPA all because we were "very displeased" with their services and associated lack of discretion in billing. I've attached a letter I sent back to their office that has names of their personnel and my family redacted. Only after this letter did the firm reverse their decision and opt to file. As an aside, I hired a CPA to independently review the submittals and several errors were identified; we had to file addendums/corrections after the submittal. I strongly recommend going elsewhere. I've had very few encounters with such petulant professionals in my life.

She never disclosed rates, fees, or any general costs associated with my spouse or me, then said "we wont know the total until it's all said and done." After weeks of Christine "double amd triple checking" her work at my cost (which still needed my attention to detail to catch HER ERRORS), and re-creating my entire tax return (which was a burden of her system, not in my control), they charged us $1200 for an amendment. I was pressured to pay, never given an itemized bill, and was given an "it is what it is" attitude. After paying to get my amendment filed, I disputed the charge with my bank for being overcharged for services rendered. I just received a check from the IRS because the crooks rescinded the amendment out of spite. Luckily, I have my copy of everything they did so I can simply recreate the forms and mail them out with a fresh check. If you need a tax preparation service, youd be better off with a chicken pecking at a keyboard while on the TurboTax website than to ever trust Christine Caperton to touch your documents. ​
