At Cambell, I worked directly with John Zayaitz CPA.

John is personable, and attempted to gain the greatest possible understanding of our needs as his client. Based on our conversations, it is clear that John has methodically established advanced experiences in both business and personal tax services with a speciality in audits. During our experience with John, he was able to analyze our tax needs and explain the process in a clear and direct manner that made us feel comfortable. Working with John Zayaitz was a pleasure, and we are happy to have found a trustworthy accountant in the Lehigh Valley.

Dear Fellow Tax Payers:…read more Not all tax preparers are the same and I've been lucky enough to find one that is head and shoulders above the rest without costing me an arm and a leg. We had noticed that the accountant we were previously using to prepare our income tax returns had been steadily increasing prices as the economy and our disposable income had begun dropping. At the same time, our confidence in his numbers had been declining partially due to the lack of face to face contact with him and his lack of availability to be reached on occasion. Out of the blue, we received a postcard in the mail last year from Lifetime Tax Service and the timing couldn't have been better. I looked at their website and made an appointment to visit them and that was the best decision we had made. Their office is very clean and the staff, true professionals in every sense of the word. But being a skeptic (and a former accountant many, many years ago), I wasn't going to let appearances sway me. I wanted to know if these people knew how to prepare complicated, out-of-state returns with various deductions, credits, etc. We met with Tom Ervolina and after our initial meeting, I stopped being so guarded and had complete confidence in him. He was very thorough and asked questions that our previous accountant neglected to ask -- questions that had an impact on our bottom line. He had a checklist and provided us with a copy of what was still needed and within a few short days, every "T" was crossed and every "i" was dotted and voilà -- our returns were completed. He even caught mistakes that our previous CPA had overlooked -- mistakes that had been going on for several years! (When confronted about it, the former accountant apologized, admitted his oversight and ended up filing amended returns for us.) I think the most shocking part of all of this was the price. They charged half of what our previous CPA charged and the quality and thoroughness of their work was twice as good! This year, we used Lifetime Tax Service again and it was actually a pleasure visiting them because I knew that in addition to helping us file accurate returns, they were working in our best interest. Everything is explained in clear and simple terms (no confusing jargon) and their friendly personalities are definitely helpful when dealing with something as dry and boring as income taxes. Also this year, we opted for a copy of our returns on CD instead of a printed hard copy and I was completely surprised by how thorough they are -- all documents that were handed to them for preparation had been scanned and included on the disc as well so if we are ever audited, there is a paper trail to follow. So in addition to being honest, reliable, knowledgeable, and cost-friendly, they're also modern and efficient. Go use Lifetime Tax Service -- they rock! Sincerely, Head Cheerleader for Lifetime Tax Service P.S. They also do financial planning, but I'll review that part of their services when I actually have some finances to plan with.

DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS. The father and son duo are absolutely the most unprofessional,…read moreargumentative and blatantly inept blubbering idiots I have ever encountered. Be prepared to be berated, abused, yelled at, shamed and ultimately kicked out. The son is an absolute blowhard. My family was utterly abused and disrespected in our meeting with both of them. We will NEVER be going to them again. We will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau. We will be telling everyone we know just how horribly we were treated. I have never in my life been yelled at by a supposed professional. ALSO, please keep in mind, every year I have gone to them, I get letters from the IRS saying I owe them back taxes for mistakes made by them, not me. STAY away unless you want to be audited, owe back taxes, yelled at and embarrassed.
