We got stuck with CLA when they acquired a small CPA firm we had been with for years. Ever since, we've had nothing but trouble with CLA. Horrible (almost nonexistent) communication, belligerent attitudes from our accountant, and last year they gave us bad advice that cost us $11K!To top it all off, they waited until January 17 of this year to send us a letter saying they were dumping us--yeah, right before tax season! Apparently they're cutting off all their small accounts so they can focus on making more money with corporate work.They literally had since last April to give us notice. . .but noooooooooo.Run. Run far away from Clifton Larson Allen CPAs.

Cliftonlarsonallen purchased the accounting firm that I had used for 10+ years. I should have realized that things had taken a turn for the worse, when one of their accountants (in training) had flown to see, and go over my books with my bookkeeper. While he was sitting there with my accountant of 10+ years, he fell asleep. My original accountant who sold his firm to these clowns retires and I'm left in the uncapable hands of this Bellevue Washington office. I hate change so I agree to keep my personal and business accounts with them. I send email after email to the accountant there with my typical questions. Over 9 months and dozens of emails, I think I had one response. I finally email one of the heads of this office, with my concerns. Apparently the guy doing my taxes had moved on. It's amazing that the office did not reach out to the clients he was working with??? I'm given another accountant, while a nice person, had no idea how to prepare my personal, and especially my business taxes. I felt like I was paying for her tutelage. You wouldn't believe some of the questions I was seeing emailed to my bookkeeper! It took over 6 months (past the April 15th deadline) to finish my business taxes, and then another month past that to receive my personal taxes. I won't even get into their excessive fees. Let's just say if you like receiving huge bills for god knows what-these are your guys!! Take some friendly advice...look elsewhere.

After obtaining 4 years of tax advise from this company, I was informed by my financial planner that perhaps they were giving me poor recommendations and I might need to refile my taxes. Their communication with me was abysmal and eventually I needed to pay over $20k in back taxes. I asked that, since this was due to their inaccurate tax advise, I not be charged for the fees to refile and they be responsible for any penalties. Not an unreasonable request, I think. Today I received a letter telling me they could no longer provide tax services to me and they would not send me any information that the IRS requested of them. I find this laughable. As if I were going back to them in the future.

I have relied on Daniel Riemenschneider and the staff in the Akron, Ohio office for both corporate and personal tax and accounting service and advice for many years. I have always been pleased with the personal attention and, when required, advanced resources for solving complex tax issues. My relationship with them has been an asset to our business and family.
