Poor Service and Communication Issues
Several reviewers have experienced poor service and communication from Smith & Bennett accounting. Dan Brave, a relatively new customer, reported that after hiring the firm to manage his bookkeeping, taxes, and payroll, nothing was completed despite multiple promises. He was unable to get in touch with the office, and his emails were not returned. Similarly, Michael M. felt that the firm had poor communication with customers, as he was told that his taxes would be started immediately, but was later informed that it would take two weeks.
Positive Experiences
However, some reviewers have had positive experiences with the firm. Tonya Nevil has been using Craig's services for over 20 years and has always been satisfied with the great staff, pricing, and service. George Mackel has also praised the firm for its excellent advice and guidance, which has helped his business grow. Susan Barber had a pleasant experience at the firm, with Robin offering great suggestions and being kind and personable.
Negative Experiences with Taxes and Payroll
Some reviewers have experienced issues with the firm's tax and payroll services. Anonymous Unanimous reported that the firm made an error on their return, leading to an incorrect tax liability statement and an IRS bill. Carolyn Holder's husband has had problems with the firm's handling of his state taxes, and received unprofessional advice to "cut his losses".
