Frustrating Experiences with the CPA Firm
Readers have published their experiences with this Certified Public Accounting (CPA) firm, with both positive and negative comments.
Overpriced Services
Several reviewers have expressed frustration with the firm's fees, citing inflated charges for services rendered. One reviewer, Sanderling Team, was charged $2,000 for a simple 1040 tax form, and another, Kyle Jakobe, received a bill for $24,000 from his accountant, Harold, for handling a small business with only $500,000 in annual revenue. Both reviewers felt that the fees were not justified and were not provided with transparency in their invoicing.
Lack of Communication and Transparency
Other reviewers have complained about the lack of communication and transparency from the firm. Kyle Jakobe mentioned that his accountant, Harold, provided "far more confusion than answers, " and didn't respond promptly to his queries. The reviewer felt that the firm's invoicing system was unclear and that they were being held hostage until the inflated invoices were paid.
Exceptional Service
On the other hand, one reviewer, Joshua Gordon, had a positive experience with the firm and praised Erma Grimmel for her exceptional service. He credited her with being competent, trustworthy, and competent.
