Report
I strongly advise staying away from this firm. In my experience, they were completely unprofessional and irresponsible. One of the owners, Bob Jahelka, took payment for work on two years of tax returns but failed to file anything with the IRS on my behalf. As a result, I was hit with thousands of dollars in fines. When I followed up, he claimed to have no paperwork and even demanded more money. There was no accountability, no transparency, and no follow-through.
It felt like I was completely abandoned after paying for a service that was never delivered. If you're considering working with this firmdont. Save yourself the stress, financial damage, and legal mess. This is not a business you can trust.
