When I first met Bill to consult with him about doing my taxes, I was very impressed. He did my taxes for the next few years with NO PROBLEMS. He knew my return from year to year and would ask for something missing..which he would immediately recognize..always the consummate professionL, polite..his work was always done on time and I recommended him to several people. Then one year everything changed. (2019) Suddenly I'm dealing with this hothead who says one minute.."yes I can do your taxes on time"..the next minute asking questions like they never seen any of my material before..when I ask if it hasn't already been programmed in the computer From years ago..I get an answer "Well how am I supposed to know THAT ?" I was sure I was not dealing with Bill but this person represented themselves as Bill...the return was done, LATE and without the proper late charges indicated.. I moved my residence to New Mexico and used a different CPA. Moving back to CA I emailed Bill to see if you could get the return done..again, with 10 days before due date. No problem. Got the material there..sane thing happened as in 2019. Suddenly there are accusations, snotty replies..pure pettiness and a total refusal to even do the return at all. The experience was very much like the review here from Feb, 2021. Look at the two MOST RECENT reviews. I feel like the consummate professional Bill Widbrodt has handed my account over to someone who is combative, accusatory, incompetent ...same story this time about being sick..I wouldn't go near this office again..BURNED TWICE is enough for me. read more
