“My neighbor recommended Laurie Smith and H&R Block and I've been going to her for my taxes year after year now and appreciate her detailed work so much! I've been recommending her to others too because of how accurate, kind and professional she is.”
“I have been going to this particular h&r for the last 4 years and will continue to. I really like Tracy! But it is a little odd that you guys make appointments for me. And then call when I don't show up to an appointment that I did not make. Is there a way to opt out of this?”
“First, we went to HR Block, which we have done a few years when the taxes were going to be especially fussy and I wasn't confident doing them myself with software alone. In past years, we must have got lucky because we had reps who knew what they were doing but this year, they gave us a woman who was unfriendly, standoffish and seemed incompetent. Instead of consulting the computer for previous information, she made us fill it all out by hand, then took one glance at our paperwork, heard why our special need this year brought us in, then sent us home. She was apparently not good on a computer at all and didn't want us to see her looking stuff up that she didn't know how to handle. Shortly thereafter, I began getting emails for more information that, as it turns out, was totally unnecessary and ultimately she told us she would just file us incomplete and we could deal with the fallout later. What?! Deal breaker. I picked up our paperwork and checked Yelp for an alternative. We found Michael at TaxBunny and I am so grateful we did.Michael was not only professional and efficient, he was personable, cheerful and generous. When our special need this year took extra effort, he told us what he was doing the whole time and apologized for what he considered extra time to complete the process (it was a half hour. We expected to be there much longer so this was nothing at all). He explained everything during the process and then went over it all before we signed. His rates were much lower than HR Block also.Tips to know about TaxBunny-- he does not do rapid returns. He does efile for you on the spot, however. Parking is across the street in the big lot by the bank and pho restaurant. As opposed to some larger tax prep places (like HR Block), Michael has actually got accounting schooling and many, many years of experience in the field. HR Block trains people to run the software then lets them do your taxes, so they often know little more than you do.End to end, we could not be more pleased or relieved to have found Michael. We have every confidence in him getting us the best refund and zero audit risk. I can't say that for HR Block (who I have now heard even more bad stories about, as I recommend TaxBunny to people. Go here. Don't go there!)”

“I've been working with Pioneer Accounting for years. Lynn and Armaven have always been very helpful and responsive to my questions and business particulars. Highly recommended!”
“The team at Caro and Associates are tax wizards. I thought I was going to owe almost $20k and they got me a small refund. I've been working with them as my accounting and payroll team since I opened my small Healthcare practice, Novel Eyes. Jose came highly recommended by several unconnected people and I feel like I'm in very good hands.”

“I’ve worked with Abigail entirely virtually. I completely trust her with my finances and accounts. She’s friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and thorough. I’ve been with her for a few years now.There was a mistake made in filing my taxes (wrong category, not her fault- advised by someone at the tax offices) and she was incredibly apologetic and fixed it promptly. As a result, I received a huge refund from state. I didn’t have to do anything on my end.Abigail has been patient in answering all my questions, makes extra time for me if I need it, and has gone above and beyond to help me understand how to do my book-keeping through Quickbooks. I’m very happy to continue working with her!”
“Meera saved the day fixing a tax file I did through TurboTax that ended up not being complete. She saved me thousands in tax penalties. I've learned my lesson. I'll be headed to SSK for future tax filings.”
“ACE Accounting is honestly the best company I've ever worked with! Angie was top notch and helped me when I was in a bind. She was extremely professional, explained things over the top (and I ask a lot of dumb question) and gave suggestions for future ways to handle my business needs. I will never work with another Accounting firm. If you have reservations about working with them, don't. You will be 100% satisfied working with them!”
“I was immediately ushered in to the preparation cubicle, where the process began in short order.I find this to be very professional and courteous, considering I was expecting my trip in was going to be a drop off.”
“Monica has prepared our taxes for a few years and I feel always extremely confident on her work. The communication is great and Monica provides a very personal and attentive service to our specific needs.Recommend 100%”
“Extremely knowledgeable, personal, professional.... the best CPA I've ever met. Keep in mind that I'm a financial advisor and have met my fair share, good and bad.”
“Easily the best crypto accountant and team. I’ve had awful experiences with accountants who say they know crypto and then I end up in a worse spot. Edwin has taken reigns and fixed previous years mistakes and saved me a TON of money. Should charge more. Thanks Edwin. Highly recommended.”
“Sandra was able to provide prompt and efficient tax preparation services. Education was provided on tax filing requirements, how to determine if estimated taxes may need to be done, upcoming changes, and other helpful details. Would recommend highly.”
“As always, they are extremely good at what they do,courteous,friendly and very helpful in filing your taxes. I been using them for over ten years and will continue to do so.”
“I first came to tax alternatives when i needed help with my own real estate development business in 2015. Before that time i would file my own taxes through turbo tax. Anne marie is honest stays up to date on the latest tax laws, keeps my books clean and has been guiding me to get the most out of my taxes. My only regret is not working with tax alternatives sooner. Anne marie your the best :)”
“I am a repeat customer for 3 years now and I am extremely happy with the knowledge and professionalism by the staff at H&R Block. I received tips to help my status next year. Price is very fair for the service. I'll be back next year. Highly recommend them.”

“Great customer service. Rebecca has been our account manager and we can’t speak highly enough about her. Company is very reasonable my priced but when compared to the value they’re extremely underpriced. High high value company.”
“UPDATE APRIL 23, 2023:BETTER LATE THAN NEVER/SELF-EMPLOYMENT SHAFTIn my original review, I said "more on that later" re: my original estimate for my 2018 taxes being $1580, but the actual damage was $655 ($925 less!). I failed to say that that's because I had no more "self-employed" paper route. (side note: newspaper delivery is still legally classified as "self-employment", but it's actually "employee without employee rights") The point is, if you are self-employed, the tax prep fee is going to be higher.INVESTMENTS ALSO WILL DING YAIn this update, I would like to say that my 2019 tax prep fee was $885. The $230 uptick in fees(from $655 in 2018) was probably because that was the year I did my first investment rollover. If you have investments (IRAs, annuities, 401ks,etc.), your tax prep fee will be higher for that as well (especially if you have a slush fund...;). Therefore pay no attention to these outfits that offer to do your taxes for "free." That's only for people with simple tax returns with no self-employment, no investments, no property holdings, or any other complicated financial scenario that could give your accountant headaches!DID COVID "STAY HOME" ORDER GIVE PEOPLE TIME TO DO THEIR OWN TAXES?My 2020 tax prep fee went down again to $540 (a $345 downtick from 2019) possibly related to the initial two week COVID-19 WA state "stay home" order from March 23, 2020, which was extended to May 31, 2020. The 2021 fee was an identical $540 (COVID lag?) But starting this year with the 2022 taxes the tax prep package recommended sending in 1/2 the amount I paid for the 2021 taxes ($540/2 = $270) as an advance deposit. So I sent them the $270 deposit. But when the taxes were ready, I looked at my 2022 printed copy, which showed their fee charges failed to take into account the $270 deposit I already paid. They corrected that when I brought it to their attention. But the total fee still owing was $405. So $405 plus $270 already paid = $675. Why the $135 uptick from the $540 charged in 2021 and 2020? I was told that that their rates were going up. Perhaps the somewhat improved economy since 2020 took away the luxury of time at home to do one's own taxes, and instead allow people the luxury of paying accountants to do their taxes.”
