My taxes were delayed because they could not figure out the new consolidated tax form from one of my financial institutions. You now have to make an appointment to finalize your taxes. Leyla no longer calls you to finalize your taxes. She still provided better services than Storek, Carlson & Strutz CPA as I hear they now charge $500 for similar services. After receiving her itemized price sheet I am looking for another CPA that will take better care of me that is worth the price. The last time I was in her office both Leyla and her staff treated me like a bunch of Meerkats!

For the first few years, she was outstanding, but sadly, her fees skyrockeded to an unusual level…read morethe last few years we used her. We had to move on to another accountant when we realized how much we were being grossly overcharged in comparison to other accountants of her experience level and higher. She has a lovely, bubbly personality, and was a lot fun to be around, but when you receive a bill for several thousand dollars for a service that is typically 1/3 other similarly experienced accountants charge, you know something is seriously not right. The last time we used her, we were grieved to see another disturbingly high bill. We spoke with a couple who requires similar services of their accountant and they were appalled by the fees she had charged us. We also shared the same information with a couple other accountants and they were equally shocked. Thankfully, we found another accountant that is a lot more experienced, easier to work with due to his ability to work remotely, and has been literally 1/4 of the fee Leyla had charged us for the last 2 -3 years we used her. Our taxes have also been more complicated over the past couple of years and he still is on average at least 1/4 of the fee that Leyla charged us the last couple years we used her. What is the most disturbing part of this, is during the last few years we worked with Leyla, we were really struggling financially. We felt we were grossly being taken advantage of in spite of our circumstances. Based on our great experiences with her in the beginning, we felt we needed to double check with other friends and accountants regarding our bills before searching for a new accountant. We are very grateful we trusted our instincts, double checked with others and moved on. If you do choose to work with her, make sure you get the fee quoted up front before having her move on with the work.

Zero Stars! I chose…read moreSarada Majumder, CPA after seeing her highly recommended with excellent ratings on Yelp and Google. Many clients rave about her professionalism, thoroughness, and reliability over the years. Sadly, my experience was the complete opposite and one of the most frustrating and costly I've ever had with a tax professional. We hired her specifically because of those glowing reviews, but she completely ghosted us throughout the entire process. We sent all requested documents promptly and followed up repeatedly via email, often with no response for weeks. When she did finally reply, it was only with excuse after excuse: she was out of the country, then claimed she never received our documents (despite our delivery confirmations), followed by more vague delays and no progress. She explicitly promised to provide regular updates during the process so we would know where things stood. She never once followed through on that promise. As a result, she did not complete any of the agreed upon work, our tax return was never filed on time, and we were hit with extra IRS penalties and interest that we could have easily avoided with a reliable preparer. Worse, I've seen a troubling pattern in some of her other reviews: when clients raise similar issues about poor communication, delays, or unfinished work, her responses show a clear pattern of lying, downplaying legitimate complaints, making excuses, or outright denying problems instead of owning up to them. Do not trust Sarada Majumder with your taxes or accounting. What appears to be a highly recommended professional based on online reviews can turn into a nightmare of unresponsiveness, broken promises, and financial consequences. This was an expensive and stressful mistake. Save yourself the hassle, penalties, and frustration by choosing someone who actually communicates and delivers on their commitments. I fully expect her to respond to this review with more lies, made up justifications, and rationalizations for her unethical practices, just as she has done with other negative reviews. I will be filing IRS Form 14157 A (Tax Return Preparer Fraud or Misconduct Affidavit) along with Form 14157 to report her misconduct to the IRS Return Preparer Office. This includes her failure to file the return, unresponsiveness, broken promises for updates, provision of false excuses, and causing us direct financial harm through avoidable IRS penalties and interest.
