Suman A.

TAx preparer and Licensed Producer

“Speaking of tax person - I've been a client for two years and have had SIX different accountants, and have to get each new person up to speed.”

Kyla B.

Owner

Cons

“management for industrial components and international currency variations lack depth for a company of our scale, forcing me to use a separate software in parallel for heavy supply chain tracking.”

Ron C.

Engineering and Maintenance Leader

“In a small education facility where each payment counts, the unwarranted variances cause one to be anxious.”

Blerta K.

Language Instructor

“Certain accounting functions can be tricky to do due to the simplicity of how the plantforms runs and the lack of customization.”

Dylan B.

Controller

Cons

“I have to file an extension again because they didn't have my bookkeeping ready in time, despite me monitoring and updating all transactions on my end throughout the year. When I ask for a phone call, they don't call me. When I call them, no answer.”

Kyla B.

Owner

“Had I relied on their data for tax filing, I would have drastically overpaid in taxes. Despite reaching out and escalating to their management, I’m left with the feeling that this service is not delivering on its promises.”

Angus m.

owner

“For two months in a row, I've received inaccurate monthly books, and I now lack confidence in their ability to complete accurate year-end financials.”
