    Called this business for international tax advice. Customer service is sub standard. One star is required, not earned.

    Hired KFN to do my business tax return as well as my personal taxes. Amazing quality, value and…read moreservice. They reviewed prior years returns and found numerous mistakes and/or missed opportunities and amended them resulting in significant money refunded. We use to use one of the big accounting firms, never again! KFN is diligent, very knowledgeable and ask questions that I would have never thought about which helped save significant. overall 10/10! highly recommend!

    I had an intro call that went over two hours, all great next steps but almost overly thorough (in…read morehindsight). But either way, I left the call thinking we'd have some great momentum and he promised to review our past taxes and our 2025 submission. Well, zero follow up. I signed a contract and then ghosted. Then my husband was bothered by this since I had sent him all our private info, so he called Kyle and got the same promises. Nothing again, and we keep trying to get in touch. If he's busy, just say so! But don't request all our very personal, identity documents then fall off the grid. Very very unsettling and more importantly HIGHLY unprofessional. I was looking forward to working with him! But seems like professional maturity and stability is highly lacking, beware. UPDATE FROM KFN RESPONSE: I'm a professional project manager, there is absolutely no way I would miss a meeting I had been adamantly requesting for weeks. It's disappointing how unbelievably inaccurate this response is, to the point I may need to alert Yelp itself. I tried to reach you number of times and I even had my husband reach out since it was an unknown number and maybe you'd answer. Which you did, and ghosted him as well. I wouldn't make this up, lying about it should be a huge red flag for anyone reading this.

    I have been a client of Bensman Associates for well over 10 years. They write my insurance on my…read moreHome and Auto. Fortunately I have not had a lot of claims but I am pleased with the assistance I got with the few I had. ( a couple car accidents and a lost ring). Their personal lines administrators over the years have always been helpful and take care of all the minor issues I have had. Right now the woman that takes care of me is Amy and as all my past experiences with Bensman, I am pleased with her level of service. I have also bought a life insurance policy from Robert Friedman and he was helpful. It was a cheap term policy that's in place, and has not needed any servicing so I have no complaints in that area. I think it may be a little cheaper if I bought insurance over the internet but the few times I have needed service its nice to know I have one designated person that I can go to and they get things done.

    As a small business owner, I value the relationships I build not only with my clients, but my…read morebusiness associates as well. Tim Maurer, managing director of commercial property & casualty, obviously doesn't feel the same way. We had arranged a phone call to discuss my insurance needs and unfortunately, something came up unexpectedly on my schedule & I was not able to call him when we had arranged. I called & emailed him early in the day letting him know something had come up and asked when we could reschedule for. After a few days of not hearing back from him, I again called and left him a VM & emailed him - still nothing. After a week of no response to multiple attempts to reach him, I reached out to a friend of mine that works in his office (different department) - explaining that Tim was MIA and asked if there was anyone else that could help me as I simply wasn't comfortable working with Tim any longer. Within minutes of my email to my pal, Tim was calling me. I was not in my office to take his call however. By the time I got his VM, it was WAY after business hours. His VM to me apologized and he said (and I quote) that he "dropped the ball" in getting back to me. I awoke to an email from him this morning saying he had left me a VM yesterday (which he did) but would be out of the office all day today. I emailed him back explaining that I simply wasn't comfortable working with him at this point and asked if anyone else was available. He responded saying he had made several attempts to contact me....a LIE! In fact, his VM clearly states that he dropped the ball and never got back to me. He "cc'd" my pal on this email and I think was trying to save face. My pal is a gem......if I were able to work directly with him on my needs, I would give Bensman Associates another try, but because he is unable, I am taking my business elsewhere. In a time when we have choices and when the economy is in such a state, I am shocked & disappointed in Bensman and especially in Tim Maurer. Maybe my business wasn't big enough for him......maybe he has so much business rolling in that he doesn't need new clients/accounts........maybe he has a bridge to sell me too. I would suggest to anyone that they NOT take their business insurance needs to Bensman Associates or Tim Maurer - not when there are so many other companies out there showing that they value the small business owner.
