Reliable accounting office

Wonderful people to work with. They have done my personal and business taxes for years, always on time, never rushed. I couldn't ask for a better team to handle all my accounting needs.

As tax season steadily approaches, I would suggest NOT going to this firm. The owner is extremely racist and plays favortism with not only her employees, but her clients as well. I had only been employed there for 4 months and when I had gone home sick one day, she asked me to come in THREE hours after my regular start time to show her a negative Covid test, with out pay. However, she was okay with me previously just sending a picture of a negative test or just showing up with the negative test on my regular start time in the past. I told her that was unacceptable, and she fired me through text message. She tells her employees that we are not allowed to talk about our wages (completely illegal) and now I know why. Her administrative assistant is making quite a bit more than some of the accountants there. None of her employees have ever had anything nice to say about her, which is also another red flag. Tells them she does not have money for raises/bonuses, yet has MULTIPLE orders coming in for HERSELF on the daily. I've heard her accountants not only yell at her, but her clients as well. Very disorganized and a poorly structured company. Both bookkeeper, Maria Rodriguez, and administrative assistant, Athena Williams both smoke marijuana, however I have never seen Athena high at work, Maria has come into work several times high, and i made me feel extremely uncomfortable. Please go else where for your tax/accounting needs. Hope this helps anyone thinking of doing business with this woman or are thinking or changing firms if you are already acquiring services from her. And if you're thinking to yourself, why did she give this company 5 starts then? Well, more than likely they are paying someone off to make it so only 5 stars will show up on their reviews.
