Paula the owner had 4 years of my previous tax filings due to income and deductions comparison review. 2 months later I get a call from a complete stranger saying he has 2 yrs of the 4 years with him as she accidentally gave it to him. I go to her office to find out that she doesn't know what she did with the other 2 years and gave away all of my personal information to complete strangers. The worst part is she isn't even trying to look for them and just says I'm sorry. I asked her to contact her previous clients to see if they have it and she refuses.

Paula Jo Barrett originally told us it was a software error that led to our 2018 IRS audit. We always felt we were in pretty good hands until this - our first - audit occurred. This is when Paula Jos lack of empathy became apparent. We found her unresponsive and very unwilling to help. Unfortunately we were lead to believe if any errors ever occurred with the tax returns she did for us that she would be responsible for any interest and/or penalties that might accrue. Not so. We were on our own. Paula Jo not only kept the money paid for preparing our faulty 2018 tax return, she also refused to pay the IRS interest and penalties accrued. Beware: Check your preparers qualifications: Look for a preparer who is a certified public accountant, an enrolled agent, or even an attorney. Find someone that is required to meet education and experience requirements, pass an exam, and adheres to professional standards. Dont be afraid to ask for references.

Paula is wonderful! She is professional, courteous, and efficient. She is extremely knowledgeable and very fair with pricing. Im so happy I found her (especially after a lot of time wasted at a large accounting/tax company!). Just one point of contact with Paula, no hassle, and such a seamless process! Thank you so much. I will tell all my friends!
