They advertise but I called and they said they're not taking new clients ! What else is there to say?

Chris has been my CPA for over 20 years. He's a CPA so of course he is knowledgeable about taxes and tax law but more importantly he is proactive and works to understand what is best for me in what and the best way to address sometimes complicated tax situations. I have never been audited in his 20 years of doing my taxes and his advice has foresight and insight to my needs. He also just a really nice guy and enjoyable to work with as much as taxes can be.

Rude, unprofessional and recklessly-careless - his negligent failure to properly consider, complete and include Form 8829 in our 2019 and 2020 tax returns caused my wife and I to lose out on claiming over $16,000 of qualifying home business expense deductions. When I politely brought this disappointing and costly omission to his attention he (shockingly) demonstrated he was not even aware such expenses could be carried-forward (for use in future years,) rudely and unprofessionally refusing to simply "man-up" by acknowledging his blunder and amending our returns (which I even generously offered to pay him to do - until he began lashing-out demonstrating (even further) his reportable rudeness, unprofessionalism and carelessness.)

I told the receptionist that we were new in the state and looking for an accountant. We were told that Mr. Johnston would not even take a telephone call until we sent him our last filed taxes. Goodbye.

Chris and Diana have been doing both my personal and business taxes for the past two years. Very helpful, very accurate, very trustworthy, and very fairly priced.

I can not say enough good things about this business. Chris and Diana handled our tax situation promptly, professionally and saved us a lot of money in the process. We have since used them twice more and plan on using them going forward. Quick responses to questions, very thorough and detailed, and honest. Highly recommend.

Moved here from the Midwest in 2014 and found Chris and Diana I believe on Yelp. My father had recently passed and had always done my taxes. I've been using them over 5 years now and they are very fair and asked all the right questions to prepare my returns over the years. I was so impressed that I have them preparing my Mom's return over the last few years. I highly recommend.

Discovered this practice through Yelp last year after I was desperate to find an effective CPA and tax advisor/preparer. Had such a terrible experience with my prior servicer and Chris and Diana helped clean up their mess! They are top notch, professional and so efficient and definitely the best choice we made. I know we are in very good hands with them and have so much trust in the quality of their work.

I am new to the area and chose Chris Johnston due to his reviews on yelp. I was very pleased with the service and impressed with Chris's knowledge. The office staff was great and responded to emails and phone calls. Tax time can be very stressful, but with Chris he made it a breeze. Chris was patient and answered all of my questions. I will definitely be referring him to anyone with accounting needs.

Chris Johnston is the best CPA in the world. He has the rare qualities of genuinely caring for others and being the best in his field. I 100% trust him and would never seek another CPA. Chris is the best!

Actually walked out feeling extremely uncomfortable and insulted.Based upon the reviews given i went to chris with thefeeling my problems would be corrected professionally.The wife/Secretary whatever position she holds made sure i will never use this business.I met chris and seemed like a great guy but the greeting i recieved was very rude and far from what i was expecting.Your secretary needs a crash course in manners before you end up having a bad reputation which hinges upon her attitude

We met with Chris Johnson today for a mid-year tax planning consultation. He was wonderful! He was patient with us, listened well and gave us very clear answers and 'big picture' good advice. He is knowledgeable about the tax laws and helped us plan our finances for the next few years. We will begin going to him for our tax preparations as we totally trust him already. Diane was pleasant and kind during my call to her for scheduling the appointment. We made a great choice in calling Chris Johnson.
