Paychex Payroll Review

I am a small business owner who just started my company last December. Everybody that I know from my accountant, to business associates, to my friends recommended Olivier to me for my Payroll needs. Olivier really knows how to help his customers by providing them with personal attention, and helping them find ways to save money. The first time I met with Olivier, he taught me how I could take advantage of some San Francisco tax benefits by structuring my payroll a certain way. That is just what a small business like mine needs. Awesome! I look forward to working with Olivier as my payroll needs grow.

Advertisement SRJ Consulting Review

SRJ Consulting, located in Chicago since 1975, is the best when it comes to tax preparation and defending IRS audit. Over the years, they have earned my absolute trust and confidence in their knowledge, insight, experience, and integrity. Not only do I save a lot more money in taxes but I finally have a professional tax accountant I can totally trust. As an Enrolled Agent who is licensed to practice before the IRS with a master's in accounting from the Univ of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Mr. Jhawar takes his time preparing my tax return and to ensure it is properly completed and e-filed directly to the IRS and state. Recently, SRJ even helped my sister and her husband out of a messy IRS audit and saved her a lot of money.

Albin And Associates Accounting Review

In the past, the husband and I have always had his CPA/accountant brother look over our taxes haphazardly. This year, because we 1) just got married, 2) bought a home, and 3) have several incomes (some freelance) with us, we thought we'd get a professional. Also, because Husband's brother was being a pain in the ass about looking over our stuff.

Having Charles do it was a lifesaver! He is so incredibly nice and extremely good at his job, and he actually is really invested in saving people money and helping them out. Yes, we had to pay someone to do our taxes, but he saved us so much time and stress. With our amateur calculations, we went from owing thousands to getting money back after Charles' attention to all the little details and advice. Not to mention, he is always responsive to emails and extremely fast - his rates are reasonable and he is worth every penny.

Blayer & Associates CPA Review

My last accountant over charged me and did a poor job. This is a family business, daughter and father team. They are local, Lincoln Park and Lake view area and I prefer local  rather than an over priced downtown firms. I have a complex return and they handled it  in a fast efficient manner. They are very well qualified, the father has a CPA and 30 years of experience and the daughter has a CPA and an MBA in accounting from the University of Illinois. They were easily accessible and pleasant to work with. They do an outstanding job and if you need an accountant, a challenging return or not, you will get  very highly qualified  accountants that charge quite reasonable fees.

Alberto Roman, CPA Review

Bert Roman is truly a great gentleman. I had a somewhat complicated issue with the IRS for a 2005 return. The IRS actually reached into my personal savings account and took a lot of money from me that they thought I owed. I took this issue to Bert and today, I am happy to say, the IRS gave me all my money back, plus fees and interest! I can not say how grateful I am for his help.

Besides being a tax ninja, was the kindest man I met this side of the Mississippi. During our consultations he would offer me food from his restaurant downstairs, not taking no for an answer.. almost like a Greek or Spanish mom. He felt so bad for my tax situation he said he wouldn't charge me unless he was able to get the money back for me. I am happy I found such an honest man and I will use him for all future tax needs.
