I was a financial mess when I was first referred to Frank. Years behind and poor record keeping. Through Frank's patience and resourcefulness I no longer worry about the IRS.

Very unprofessional and very overpriced. I had a simple question about where I should file my taxes…read moresince we have no permanent address and are traveling. I had used Frye Tax in the past and always felt they were overpriced but felt comfortable since they took over for Escobar, whom I was always satisfied with. To get my answer, I had to arrange a telecall meeting with Frank Frye. Lo and behold, after rearranging my schedule, Frank Frye either "forgot about the call" (not very comforting for your tax representative) or just didn't care enough about his client to honor his commitment. Basically I was stood up and told he went to the pharmacist and would call me back in 45 minutes. 45 minutes later he did not call. He eventually called and left a message 4 hrs later, after I got my answer from one of their competitors. Yep, no apology or explanation. When I emailed regarding his unprofessionalism, he responded, not with an apology or explanation, but rather with a classless veiled threat that my questioning where I needed to file constituted asking him to commit tax fraud. Being a former FBI agent, I found this not only insulting but also worrisome that someone so volatile has access to people's financial information and is tasked with possibly representing you with the IRS. I got my question answered with one phone call to Exacta. After discussing their services I found out they were over $120.00 cheaper for the exact same services and I am having them review my past returns that were prepared by Frye.

I had to go into the office in person multiple times just to get a response. Multiple people deflected me to other people who didn't help. Could hardy get someone to answer the phone.

Almost 2 months later my return was finally ready, and the cherry on top is they charged me almost $400 for an individual basic return! I would never recommend this business to anyone.

I reached out to this company to consider hiring for my taxes. My previous CPA and I had become…read moregood friends over the years, and he never had a problem with doing my taxes, quickly and efficiently! However, unfortunately he passed away. I'm a senior so have been doing self employment taxes for many decades. Never, and I do mean NEVER have I encountered (as I also see some reviews say here), such TOTAL RUDENESS and lack of caring or ability to treat a potential client with courtesy, unprofessional behavior, and just general incompetence as with this firm! It may just be that I made an appointment with the senior/owner, who stated up front that he'd be retiring soon.... I was early for the appointment, but then waited for 45 minutes AFTER the appointment time, with no apology, and then almost an hour of going over "how I'd done everything incorrectly," with nothing short of berating me, and how he wanted it done, diagramed for me (which was fine, but then he didn't want me to take notes saying that he'd give me the diagram, only to FORGET to give me the diagram!), and he didn't seem to know how to even make a copy of the few documents that needed to be sent w/ returns, so he just kept the originals... I would have made copies ahead, but my printer was malfunctioning, and we are talking less than 10 pages of W2's,etc.. Went home feeling like "Man! Does this guy have early dementia w/ temper issues, or what?" After I worked for several hours back home to "re-organize" what was always easy for my other CPAs to use, I sent to him, only to receive yet further ridicule from "Larry" who after waiting almost 2 weeks to get back to me, then said when I finally called to find out "if he received or had any questions" that he'd "had thousands of clients and not one had ever questioned or had trouble following his directions!" He then got really angry and said that he "didn't think we were a good match and he would not be able to prepare my taxes!" So, if you go with this firm, I hope that the younger son or daughter in the firm (Larry's kids), will be able to treat you with courtesy and competence. Larry definitely needs to retire. To the extreme that I copied my letter back to him to his son, hoping that perhaps he'd take over for a potential new and easy to work with client.... I'm guessing they walk on eggshells around their dad. Sad, but not the way to run a successful firm!

He has done my taxes now, for about 20 years. I have never had any complaints and wanted to mention this on here, because the positive 5 Star comment is well deserved! He's very quick to help and always remembers his customers when they return each year and to me that means a lot and due to his great service I always return yearly to have him help process my taxes.

I hired Scott & Aderholt to do my taxes for my LLC. As a new business, and a first time LLC owner,…read moreI couldn't risk making any mistakes on my taxes by doing it myself.

As a small business owner, this gives me much needed peace of mind and it means that my taxes are one less thing I need to worry about since I know that I'm in great hands with Scott & Aderholt.

Our experience with Steadman Tax Services was extremely disappointing…read more We dealt with poor communication, multiple handoffs on our account, inaccurate bookkeeping, and a defensive response when we tried to get answers. We were told monthly bookkeeping emails and financial summaries were being sent, but we did not receive them on our end, including in spam. Their explanation was that the emails showed as sent or delivered on their side, but that does not change the fact that we did not receive them on ours   There was also no consistency in who was handling our account. Within about a year of working with Steadman Tax Services, the bookkeepers assigned to us changed multiple times. We started with Sam, who left abruptly and shortly after we became clients. After that, we were moved to Alyssa, then Daniella, and later Keri this January, with no communication about those transitions. That constant turnover made the process frustrating and made it hard to feel like anyone had a full understanding of our books or the history of our account. The bookkeeping issues were even more concerning. Our 2025 P&L showed many American Express charges categorized as Thumbtack advertising, even though we did not use Thumbtack at all in 2025. That significantly distorted our marketing expenses. We also found other miscategorized expenses, including business subscriptions being placed under office supplies instead of a more appropriate category. We had also already provided information about a cargo van purchase, yet it still was not properly recorded as an asset months after the purchase. When we reviewed the QB audit history, we also found long gaps with little to no bookkeeping activity, including stretches of roughly 29 days, 81 days, 49 days, 35 days, and 27 days with only minimal or administrative changes. That matters because this was supposed to be an ongoing monthly bookkeeping services that we pay for.  The audit log did not reflect the kind of steady monthly review, cleanup, and follow-through we were paying for. Instead, it looked like work was being done in batches with long periods of inactivity in between, which helps explain why issues sat unresolved and why so many things were only caught much later. To make matters worse, we had repeatedly clarified that my wife does not work and has no separate income, but that continued to resurface as if it had never been communicated. That showed a lack of attention to detail and poor account management. What was most frustrating was how the firm responded once we raised these concerns. We were not rude or hostile. We brought up specific issues, pointed to documentation, and tried to get clarity on what had gone wrong and how it would be fixed. Instead of taking accountability and working toward a solution, the response felt defensive, dismissive, and focused on shifting blame back onto us. Rather than treating our concerns as legitimate, it felt like we were being talked around and told, in effect, that the problems were ours for not catching them sooner. Then, after we followed up in writing to document those concerns and ask for a resolution, they chose to disengage immediately instead of addressing the issues professionally. That made the entire experience feel even more disappointing and unprofessional. We were not asking for anything unreasonable. We wanted accurate books, clear communication, consistency, and accountability. Based on our experience, we would not recommend this firm.
