After reading the reviews, I decided to go with Meyer Books and Tax Services.  I got all my…read morepaperwork together and wrote out everything that took place during the year.  Melissa drove out to my home to pick up my paperwork and advised it would be 2 weeks.  After me reaching out to check status, I finally received my taxes a day before 3 weeks. I opened up my tax returns and it showed I owed almost $50,000.  I immediately contacted Melissa with questions I had regarding Capital Gains.  These questions were regarding the dollar amount that would be excluded before being taxed as income, etc.  She told me to give her my questions and she would get back to me.  I felt as a tax service she should have been able to answer these right away (red flag).  Shortly after I receive a text telling me I can breathe the issue was fixed.  I now owed close to $4,000. The next morning, I sat down and went over the tax returns.  I normally do them myself so have some knowledge but I had several things that took place this last year so decided to hire a CPA.  Sent an email over asking to provide me the breakdown of how she was getting a few of the numbers.  Noticed donations weren't showing, general sales taxes weren't adding up, etc.  She replies to my email and I pick up the phone to talk to her to help avoid miscommunication.  I ask where the commissions I paid to sell my other house are?  Calculating with her as we spoke to what the line item should reflect.  We hang up the phone with the understanding she will be emailing me the corrected tax forms, etc.  I open them up and AGAIN the number is wrong!  I call back and her response was we got to talking.  Then I see she has the wrong year I purchased the home I sold (she put 2020, when it was 2010) (which could have caused major issues with Capital Gains). I am not kidding when I say I probably had to reach out 4 or 5 times to have things corrected.  Then I get the bill.  I was really surprised she charged me after my taxes basically went from me owing almost $50,000.00 to me owing a little over $400.00, BY MY DOING.  I advise her of how I feel and her response was "dually noted".  Had I not had any tax knowledge I would have sent the IRS a check for close to $50,000.00.  Appalling!

I was looking for a new book keeper and happen to meet Scott at a networking event. After meeting…read moreMelissa I saw just how knowledgeable and professional they are at Meyer Books and Tax. She went through my books with me and identified several issues that she was able to quickly fix, and really took the time to explain everything to help me in the future to save both time and money. I will be using them for all of my book keeping and Tax needs going forward. If you need any of their services I highly recommend them.

Update: After my…read moreoriginal review, Cheryl finally responded. Instead of resolving the issue, I was told that my amended return could not be processed until sometime in 2027, despite previously asking me to wait until July. I requested either a refund or, if I was expected to wait until 2027, a written commitment confirming when my amended return would actually be completed and what would happen if that deadline was not met. Neither request was answered. My refund was denied, no completion date or written commitment was provided, and I was told this would be Cheryl's "final response" regarding the matter. Asking a paying client to continue waiting indefinitely without a guaranteed completion date or refund is not an acceptable resolution. Unfortunately, this response only reinforced my original review.

I hired this firm to do my taxes for 2021. Mia had a great opening pitch and was very friendly…read more She seemed to know what she was doing. I was however handed off to a class B accountant who took a long time to prepare my returns. Despite having all of my documents ready in February my return was not completed until October 16th, the day after the very last day possible because of a special holiday. Now normally I don't mind extending, but her staff were so overloaded they could not deliver until last minute. The worst part was that my taxes were done improperly to the tune of a six figure underpayment. I spent the next year recovering from that mistake. Their lack of ability to complete my returns accurately and on time literally cost me five figured in penalties not to mention the time to recover from not paying what I needed to during the year. Despite multiple requests to do tax planning throughout the year, her staff were not able to make time for me which I believe also contributed to the last minute and incorrect filling. Perhaps I was not high on her client list, but this firm was beyond the worst experience I have ever had with an accountant. I was forced to choose a new provider because my previous accountant changed firms and I could not use them because of a non compete clause. So I had to try someone new. Needless to say, I chose poorly.

We business owners usually do everything by ourselves, but many times we miss very important pieces of information, knowledge and deadlines that can cost a lot more than simply hiring a specialist to take care of that secondary aspect of the business. I am happy I have hired Mia (Reeves Accounting Services) to take care of that for me, their professional advice and services help me keeping more of what is legally mine and plan ahead to avoid wasting in the future. I definitely recommend any business owner or self-employed to call them and ask for help.

Nothing says "trust us with your accounting, payroll, and taxes" quite like a stranger scribbling "be courteous" and signing it with derogatory comments.

Free tip: maybe focus on your clients instead of turning your office supplies into parking lot propaganda.
