I have never written a bad review. However, when paying top dollar, I expect good service. For our CPA I was at least expecting competent and someone that was good. I received neither. I could write pages upon pages about how many times we trusted them and were given excuses and excuses as to why things were not done, that they were done but "my husband and I had not done something" etc. I am very loyal and unfortunately after 3 years, it has cost be not only anguish from calling and not getting calls back to wondering what was going on with our taxes. Even though all of my documentation was submitted timely, [redacted] and his associates kept asking the government for extensions. Costing us more money. We finally had enough and [redacted] would not even meet with me when I went to pick up all of our files. Even when I was told that I had copies of everything. It still took me another week to actually get everything that my new CPA was asking for. It makes me very sad that when you hire someone to do a job, that the job was done so poorly. Within days of my business and personal accounts being transferred to a new CPA, the CPA had found TONS of discrepancies with what Buchholz and associates had filed and I had to pay them to redo the past 3 years. After they were finished I had to actually pay in another $25,000 in taxes because they had not been done right the first time. Thankfully, I have savings, but I can not imagine how crippling this could have been. If you are currently with Bucholz, I would be very cautious and if you are not with them, then I would recommend that you keep looking. Your finances are not something that should be taken lightly.
