This firm would receive zero stars if possible. I was passed to this firm from a smaller boutique firm as part of an acquisition. Since then, this firm has been acquired by another firm MGO. All I can say is they charged an arm and a leg, and when I tried to leave the firm for a smaller one, they dragged their feet at every opportunity. Unless you can generate significant billable hours for this now behemoth, find another option as you will be billed outrageously and treated poorly. read more

We asked for tax planning advice. After talking with them and sending them all the necessary documents, they said that they are as good as turbo tax and had no advice at all for us and just billed us with over $700 for nothing. They didn't address at all our questions. read more

Young and Craig have been outstanding!! About 6 years ago, I took over management of my elderly father, and his wife's financial affairs - during some very complicated health and living situations. Young and Craig, who had worked with my father for a number of years prior, handled all their tax filings without a glitch and assisted me (I live in Washington State) with quick, and responsive advice during this entire period. In the last 2 years, both my father and his wife passed away -- Young and Craig again handled the estate tax for both of them, all of the respective income tax filing and did so efficiently, and at a very reasonable cost. Everyone I ever worked with was customer focused, responsive and helpful. Frankly, I know that handling these affairs by myself would have been a huge mistake, and I feel fortunate that they were "on my team". Thank you. read more

I highly recommend Marc Leardini and the rest of the team at Young Craig & Co. Marc is friendly and very knowledgeable, and organized our tax returns quickly. He also reviewed our past tax returns and helped us file amended returns for larger refunds. read more

I normally am able to manage my taxes using Turbo Tax. But this year I ran into some circumstances which Turbo Tax cannot handle. I called one CPA that was highly recommended at Yelp. She said she cannot do the type of specialized work I needed, she referred me to Craig, Young & Co. and specifically to Heather. I spoke to Heather and after a very generous 15 minutes of her time, she was able to conclude she could address the special circumstances I had related to marrying a foreign citizen with foreign income, foreign bank accounts and foreign income taxes. And she quoted me a narrow price range which I thought was a little high but then I expected it for a top notch firm where I wanted accuracy and I expected the return to be processed by a specific date. We met in person, I turned over all my receipts and explained what she wanted to know. We exchanged a few emails during the process. This was nice because I am difficult to reach by phone and did not want to really discuss specifics by phone. It is better to have an email record of all the business. I found Heather to be very knowledgeable related to all foreign tax matters as well as the usual issues. She was very prompt, courteous and all papers were prepared in advance of my meeting at which the tax returns were needed. As a bonus, she was able to save me some money because their software can determine how much of a State Income Tax refund in the previous year is not taxable on the Federal tax form. I have never seen this calculation in Turbo Tax. Finally the bill came in at exactly the lower end of her original estimate when I was expecting it to be about 50% over the high end of the estimate. If you care about the quality of the tax preparation and maybe have circumstances slightly out of the ordinary, this is the best trouble free way to go. read more

This company does not seem to value smaller, individual clients. We were passed to the newest and least experienced tax preparer each year for the past three years. There seems to be a high turnover of personnel. Our latest and last tax preparer realized that we should have been filing an out of state tax form for the past six years. She was the first to ever mention it. One of the partners stated that they should have been doing it, but they could now file all six years for $1800. No mention of fines and penalties for filing late. Last year, this company asked for a two week extension beyond April 15 to file even though our information was given to them well before their deadline. More than two months later they filed our return and our refunds were three months late. There was never an explanation or a word about it. In our opinion, there are far better and friendlier tax preparers. We could not recommend this company and suggest that you avoid them. read more

Last year we were looking for a CPA company that would be able to handle my Mother's estate since she had passed away recently. My mother left a complicated estate that required both a complicated tax return and making peace with the heirs. I interviewed several CPAs before deciding on Young Craig & Co. In particular, we were very pleased with Jeanne Wiener, since in addition to specializing in estates, she also specialized in handling Special Needs Trusts, which was needed by our family. Jeanne did a great job of filing the estate return in timely fashion to meet the IRS requirements, and of filing the SNT as well. All our family heirs were pleased with the way the estate was handled, and we will surely be using the services of Young Craig & Co. and Jeanne Wiener in future years. read more

Young Craig & Co. has been my tax firm for about 10 months and has prepared three years' of individual returns for me in that time. Though their service seems expensive ($800-1000/year), I've been very satisfied. My accountant's high level of professionalism gives me confidence that the relatively busy tax years I'm going through at the moment are being done right. The email and telephone communication is excellent, and they are very helpful in walking me through an unfamiliar process. Despite me missing their deadline to submit material, they were extremely accommodating and helped me file my returns on time. I can recommend Young Craig & Co. for anyone willing to pay a little more for high-quality work and reliable advice. read more
