His early assistance was prompt, thorough and he also is very experienced with various tax issues. Cons - He has the capacity to be highly unprofessional once his comfort level settles in. I have been on the receiving end of him yelling on the phone, and attempting to scare me into thinking if I didn't hire him and his tax attorney for assistance (for a few thousand dollars) that I could end up in prison. I could go on and will spare you the details, but the bottom line is after several weeks of his subsequent unresponsiveness, I lost a lot of time. The good news is I successfully managed on my own without help and received a favorable response from the IRS in the end. The bad news is I wasted time and experienced unnecessary stress related to Rich's exaggerated 'scare tactics' about my tax situation. While I appreciate Rich's early assistance, over time his professionalism eroded. But don't take my word for it, just take a moment to review his response to the other less than stellar review on here as he illustrates my point himself with perfection. In fact, I suspect he may take aim at me personally as well after reading this and take the same approach, so just a heads up. This review is not to steer anyone reading away from soliciting Rich's services or to imply that others' experience may mirror my own because you may very well receive issue-free service as many other reviewers seem to have had, but as this site is dedicated, largely, to providing a forum for honest reviews on service providers, I am sharing my experience with others so they can make an informed decision.

I was referred to Myrick CPA in 2014, and it is one of the best moves I've ever made. He doesn't just "do your taxes" once a year; he helps you plan the best tax strategy possible for the year ahead. His work with cash flow projections is a game-changer for small businesses like mine.

Charges $750/mo to do basic book keeping and a quarterly P&L....that's it. No tax planning/projections, cash flow management, payroll, etc. Don't expect him to be knowledgeable of the tax code; instead, he gives a 15sec empty commercial pitch that falls flat. During COVID-19, numerous other CPAs offered a plethora of guidance on PPP free of charge; Myrick offers nothing while collecting an ACH credit. As a small business owner, especially in these times, I know how important it is to support the community and each other. Charles Myrick steals the profits you earned. CPA license is under review.

I found Jim during the COVID pandemic when I relocated to DC from Chicago. I quickly turned my…read moreChicago condo into a rental property and moved to the DMV area. My needs are minimal but IMO, need a certain amount of finesse to get the job done. With filing state taxes in IL,VA and having a rental property in IL, I searched around for several CPAs to assist with my taxes. I found Jim after consulting several CPAs and he seemed to meet my needs at a market price. His marketing seems to be focused on SMB and dentists offices. I like that he is responsive through his mobile app/desktop portal for questions throughout the year. I like to be able to scan/upload photos of various tax documents and tag them for organization purposes. I also like the tax documents he produces for tax season and that he uses proprietary software for accounting (QuickBooks is bad!). I also use free software for accounting and gave him access, which has been helpful in situations. Perhaps this was due to a miscommunication, but I might have been initially overcharged at first for both tax preparation and accounting, when all I needed was tax prep. After clarifying with Jim, the annual amount was spread throughout the remaining months of the year. When I renewed my contract, my monthly payment adjusted for tax prep only. Highly recommended!

I was thoroughly underwhelmed. After being with a very bright, super-quick, superstar CPA for over…read more10 years in NYC, we moved to DC and were looking for a replacement. The good reviews led us to Jim Alley, but I must say they did not equal our experience. He MISSED our first teleconference appointment (great first impression), just literally did not show up. When I called him, it was clear he was out and he had forgotten, he said he'd reschedule. I've never had a business miss a call, especially without it being an emergency, and I've never seen such nonchalance for a paying customer. Unfortunately, the trend continued, with Jim taking days to respond to email, forgetting to send a Zoom link for our next appointment, sending an email to all customers the week before April 15 to say he has a family obligation and he might need to ask for tax prep extensions, etc. Good businesses have contingency plans. Also, lovely message to send paying customers - "hey, you're not my first priority". Had I known this was his philosophy, I wouldn't have picked him. No one contests the importance of family, but professionals (ourselves included) don't hide behind their personal commitments if they can't fulfill professional ones. Also decided to have an out-of-office during the holidays very late in the game (e.g. after we had already emailed him with questions) - if you know you're going to be unavailable, signal that promptly. Messages were often written with mistakes and lack of clarity, obviously put together in a very hurried manner or written on a phone, and required extra clarification, meetings were not efficient, he often forgot to answer questions we had sent, and quotes cited sometimes didn't make sense (e.g. he said it would take a few hours and cost $500 - $700 to research the tax obligations for green card holders for a specific country - I declined, and did that myself in a matter of minutes, and our previous CPA was able to answer such questions without any additional research). We had to mail checks with our tax payments ourselves, which we have NEVER had to do - our previous accountant would have the payments directly drawn from our bank account. Another nice touch of "here's the instructions, go pay your taxes". Thanks, but I'm paying you so that I don't have to do anything. By early July, we were still not done with taxes, and we had to message him repeatedly to check if we still needed to sign anything or if all necessary paperwork had been filed. The returns were finalized in mid-July (albeit with updates he kept making to them), and in December, we were still emailing him about our state tax refund, as we had not yet received it. We do not intend to use him again and will seek better options in the area (there are plenty). If a small operation run by someone who clearly has other priorities, takes his time and is not a very efficient communicator are not things that bother you, then go ahead, but just know what you're getting.
