When it comes to accounting and taxes, Stephen Shelly is as golden a guy as the stalk of wheat…read morecleverly contained in the logo of Brew City Accounting and Tax. He is a seasoned accountant who offers a wealth of knowledge and services to individuals and businesses. I've known Stephen for 6 years - we worked together in operations management for a retail franchise. I always appreciated his sense of organization, attention to detail and easily relatable personality. He was just so great to work with for those reasons. He and I have both moved on from that scenario, and when I heard he went into business for himself I was delighted to sign up for his services. The fees at Brew City Accounting and Taxes are reasonable and affordable. I appreciated that. But more, I appreciated the attentive detail that went into preparing my taxes. It's really nice to know that someone I trust is going to bat for me against the federal and state government. Stephen is like that - he cares about his clients and wants to help. Whether it's finding a qualifying tax deduction, making a suggestion to improve efficiency, or picking up the phone or stopping by an office, he will do what it takes to get the job done. Brew City would make a great partner for any small business looking for a thorough and reliable accountant to help with bookkeeping, because Stephen has been doing accounting behind the scenes for more than a decade. He's got a thorough understanding of inventory management which is also a plus. My taxes aren't really hard to do, but I'm horrible at numbers so I was glad to turn this detail over. I was simultaneously shocked and delighted to learn that for the first time in six years, I got a federal tax refund. Stephen humbly attributed it to overtime I've worked. I'm going to give him way more credit than he'll give himself! I'm glad I'm a client at Brew City Accounting and Tax, and I'm looking forward working with them for years to come!

Not only was he cheaper, he was able to get them done in half the time my previous preparer took. He also took the time to explain the taxes to me, how I can save additional taxes.

I had received notice previously that rates were increasing by 50% and I chose to accept that. To…read moremy surprise, my bill didn't just go to $900. (increase of 50% from $600). It went to over $1600! I was told the extra charges were because I had asked a question when dropping off my info, which was: would it make sense to put money into an IRA account. I assumed that was a simple yes or no that would become clear once the return was finished. I was told they ran 4 different scenarios regarding IRA deposits. They said that after each scenario, I was called and that I rejected their proposal, which triggered another proposal. I was not called ONCE, let alone 4 times. No messages on either my home or cell phone. I would highly recommend AVOIDING this company if you are looking for integrity, professionalism or honesty. I found none of that!

They have a way of making me feel like a shmuck coming in for the first time year after year when I'm on file with them, don't I pay you to fill out forms ?. This year was the last time I'm doing business with them I told them and I'm taking my business elsewhere. I jumped on yelp to see what's in the area and this place seemed to be rated well so I went to see Todd. I was amazed that Todd took me in with no appointment as a walk in and after a few questions he had what he needed to do my taxes, no three pages of forms to fill out. I was also amazed that he changed me just about half of what the pain in the ass place charges me, my taxes are not super complicated. For a shmuck off the street for the first time Todd made me feel way better than as a returning client from my old place.

"Ok I'll bust out the crayons for you"…read more My ex-husband and I went to them to help us with our 2018 taxes after our divorce was final. It was our first time using an accountant, so we had no idea what to expect cost and service wise. First, our final preparation fee was twice what we were quoted. We paid $815. Second, the amounts of what we owed/were refunded fluctuated by hundreds multiple times. Even before they sent our taxes to the IRS, the amounts changed. Nervous, we went ahead and let them file our taxes. When we received notification from the IRS that our taxes were filed incorrectly, we contacted them and asked them to help us understand what had happened. In the text exchange they said "Ok I'll bust out the crayons for you". Our questions brought defensiveness, "I'm unsure if you believe us or not that we have both been in this professional field for 5 years not including college", when all we wanted was to understand why my ex's return was so much less and mine was so much more than expected. We used an accountant so our taxes would be filed correctly. If we were going to send them incorrectly and have the IRS correct them, we would have done the taxes ourselves.

Will got the personal tax returns done in a timely fashion but am still waiting on the refund check. I also gave him the estate account which he assured me he knew what he was doing. So almost a year later and numerous e mails and phone calls trying to get in touch with Will I basically fired him. I went and got all the paperwork and documents for my fathers estate and had to find a new accountant to take on this task. The new accountant did a superb job in a quick and timely manor but Because of Will's no response I had missed irs deadlines for the estate tax returns. The only reason I went with Will and J&M was because of my fathers long history with them. Needless to say I believe my father would be ashamed of the way his family was treated by J&M and specifically Will! Unfortunately there is not a spot for zero stars otherwise that would be my rating. ​

Eric and I had a half hour meeting to discuss how we wanted to file my investment properties. He must of forgot all the details of this meeting because when I came in to sign my return everything for our conversation had not been applied. They had to redo the tax return while I waited in the office. Then they even filed my multi family property as a single-family home which triggered a audit from the state of Wisconsin.
