Howard, Howard & Hodges

Sep 20th, 2023

They had one job - file the tax returns on time. They didn't do it. We got hit with a late fee. We started reaching out to them in early March to get a headstart on preparing the tax documents but they didn't get back to us until 4:45 pm ET on Tax day. Even then, the whole return was filed wrong and had to be re-filed. We have discontinued our account but they still haven't sent us any of the bookkeeping documents that we paid them for. Chris Hagen was excellent at communication and occasional advice. Other than his contribution, this was an expensive affair for not much in return.

I started my business and Bowman accounting in Columbia MD, helped me with the financial and payroll services, can't thank them enough for being so resourceful and responsive. Now Howard Howard and Hodges and his manager at the Columbia MD location Mr Jones asked me to find another accounting office because I have compliant that Mr Randy didn't upload my company's financials since October 2022. Mr Jones said that he's disappointed that I have requested my financials being handled by a different person. I don't understand why he's disappointed with me, I do pay my dues on time every week. I do agree with Mr Jones 100% when he said that I should find another accounting firm. I don't agree with Mr Jones when he said that it's up to Mr Randy to do my financials, I didn't know that I have hired Mr Randy's account service, I as a customer request the accounting services of Bowman now Howard Howard and Hodges service, I think you have it backwards. I'm firmly believe it is time to go. I'm hoping they don't kick me out right away.

They recently acquired a CPA firm in Maryland (Bowman & Company) and I had a terrible experience with both companies. Hands down the worst business decision I made was working with them. They made many promises they never delivered on. They started me with a brand new accountant who did nothing for me and there was no one overseeing his work. For months I reached out with no support. In the months after that I had 3 separate accountants. They were disorganized and could not keep staff. I paid a ridiculous amount of money to have them make an absolute mess of my finances. My current accountants are still working to get me out of the horrible position they put me in in 2020. They are now Howard, Howard and Hodges and I would absolutely not recommend working with either company. I gave two stars because they did, at one time, have some lovely people that worked with them. It's my understanding they are all gone now.
