Brandt and Associates have taken care of our family's tax preparations for a couple of years. They have always made themselves available to answer our questions, but last year was my first year in business. Initially I was incredibly nervous and had numerous questions throughout the year. I always received a response and clear communication. Between the emails and phone calls to make items even clearer when I couldn't present them in a written form, Brandt showed me they are more than just one Tax Day, but support throughout the year to help my small business grow and be responsible. I genuinely appreciate your insights, communication, and clarity as even with a business, we got our taxes filed earlier than the deal line!

Brandt & Associates has been doing my taxes for over 40 years. Their service is excellent, detailed and honestly priced. They treat me like an treasured client--not a number. I have never been audited by the IRS. Mitch Brandt's team includes the fabulous Nina. She helps me at every turn. I wouldn't use any other firm!

I cant believe that I've used Brandt Tax and Associates for probably 15 years now and have never written a review! Now is the time. And just for clarification, I'm probably the person that brings the least amount of money into the company. But you wouldn't know it by how I've been treated for these 15 years. I came to them to do my annual taxes, but I've stayed for the people, Daryll Settle and Nina Lillard. Having your taxes done is always a very stressful experience, but not with Brandt Tax and certainly not with Daryll and Nina. I've had so many issues and questions over the years and they've always very promptly and patiently addressed every concern. Nina is there year round for me to reach out to and she never fails to provide top notch customer service even if they "just" do my taxes. I am forever grateful to her each and every year for making this process easy. I am so thankful for her kindness and professionalism each and every time I reach out to her. As always, thank you for making the tax process the least stressful as possible and knowing how crazy this business is for you, thank you Nina for always acting like I'm your only client. If you haven't found a tax or financial company, please consider Brandt Tax.

I am a loan officer from DMV area. When my clients send me chopped up paperwork and I notice this accountancy firm's name, it is a breath of relief since they are responsive and send me my paperwork in a secure and protected manner after having confirmed my association & certification with our mutual clients. I have never worked with them myself, but I trust this firm regardless having witnessed their service to their clients even years after having done business with the customer.

We have been loyal clients since 2012. As young professionals new to the area, we were lost on how to navigate N. VA business and financial pit falls. The Brandt family took us in as clients, and since then has always provides us with supreme service and financial guidance. Nina Lillard is the utmost professional business manager, who can handle the most sophisticated issues. Shelly Armstrong is an excellent accountant, who will provides excellent advice and service. Regardless if its sensitive financials or sharing information to protect your 'nest egg', Brandt and Associates are the best in N. VA.

I have used tax filing services here for 7 years and find Brandt and Associates to be a fantastic firm. Nina is prompt with answers to my questions, which can be complicated as I have have assets in different states.

I’ve come here for 14 years to get my taxes prepared and submitted. This group is fantastic! I cannot say enough about Nina who keeps the business running and always remembers me each year. Special thanks to my “personal accountant, Shelly, for taking care of me for the past several years. She is so dedicated to her clients and works tirelessly on their behalf. Another year in the books. Thanks B&A!

Not sure I got much benefit out of using these folks. I was looking for someone to take the effort out of filing taxes, but they did not do that. I expected they were taking care of things like filing an extension, but they didn’t, and the miscommunication cost me considerably in fines. I also had hoped that they would compile expenses for my business and such, but they just asked me to do it so they didn’t serve the need I needed filled. In subsequent years I have just used TurboTax - if I need to tally up expenses myself I didn’t see much point in using them. They did recommend one retirement vehicle that did help a little, but on net I just didn’t find them useful. Maybe you’ll have better luck.

I had been doing my own taxes for the last 10+ years and needed to find an accounting firm at a reasonable price as my taxes had gotten quite complicated. I was extremely pleased with the responsiveness and time they spent with me and my wife. Mitch took time to answer all of our questions and Nina helped facilitate the process. The level of service was excellent and we will be using Brandt for years to come!

I received a quote for $650 to do my tax return... My actual bill was $900 as they charge by the schedule which I would not recommend if you have a complicated return. I also had several questions as I didn't understand some of the schedules and David Brandt who is the owner of the company was extremely condescending and almost to the point of being rude. I would not recommend.

We filed 2019 taxes with this company. The process was smooth but the professionalism lacks. Our accountant was abrasive and pushy; and we never received an electronic copy of our returns. When I called earlier this year and asked for a copy of 2019 taxes, I received only my federal return. When I called back for a copy of my state taxes, I was told I would be charged $25 and I only had asked for my federal returns. There is nothing worse than gaslighting a customer. I stated that I asked for my returns and was only sent federal. The receptionist proceeded to say she should have charged me anyway and it was going to take her some time since it was "tax season". I proceeded to pay and she was able to send me my state returns in less than 2 minutes via email; it took more time to collect my card info than to send my copy. You will get a thorough tax service but little else with this company.

I can say I highly recommend this business for taking care of your business taxes, Benjamin was very patient and well educated on his services to answer my questions. He took the time to explain any details for me to understand and was very responsive from my messages, I loved how they double checked on the process for my taxes to get me more money back, thank you guys!

I've been using Brandt and Associates for several years now. Excellent service, total professionals, very responsive. Ben Jones in particular helps me navigate every tax season and provides spot on advice. He finds things I wouldn't have known to look for. Highly recommended.
