Smart Tax CPA is Certified Advanced QuickBooks Pro advisors. They work predominantly with small and medium size businesses to set up their accounting and help business owners use their QuickBooks to effectively manage not only their financials, but also their operations. They are extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. They deliver quality work at a tremendous value. I highly recommend Smart Tax CPA

I have been a business owner for over 13 years and have worked with several CPA firms. My experience with Smart Tax CPA has by far been the best. They are very dedicated to their clients and provide exceptional client service. My phone calls are always returned promptly. In addition to their client service, I trust their advice completely. I would highly recommend their firm to any business owner or individual looking for a quality accountant.

I have been impressed with the services that I receive from Smart Tax Professional Services. Their flat rate billing is completely reasonable and they go the extra mile to take care of me. I know that my finances are in good hands and they keep me informed of the newest tax codes and any changes that will be helpful to me.

I have used quite a few tax prep services over the past years, but this is by far the best. Martin Bahl and his team are knowledgeable, frank and reliable. They saved me thousands last year. They are not the cheapest in town, but you will end up with more on tax savings and service. I would recommend them to anyone seeking high quality tax service for businesses and individuals.

I recently went to this accounting firm for my business's accounting and tax work for 2012. Very thorough to say the least. Very professional, eager to help, and willing to go the extra mile. I now work with them on an ongoing monthly basis to help keep things in better order. Aside from my taxes, they gave me a detailed ledger of my transactions to reflect the corporate tax return. Highly recommended.

Very impressed on the level of service this CPA firm provides. I came to them for a second opinion as tax season approached and realized I could be doing a lot more for my business. They now provide my business services on a monthly basis and handle all my accounting, bookkeeping, payroll and tax issues. I get updates and receive solid consulting and advisory over the course of the year.

My experience with this firm was hands over feet the best tax preparation experience I have had! Previously I had gone to some of the major tax franchises but was referred to Smart Tax CPA by a friend and am very happy I decided to use their services. The tax advisor I sat down with was very knowledgeable and helped me understand why certain items were taxable and vice verse.
I was also happy to hear the CPA firm is open year round and deals with accounting / business clients throughout the year, so if I have any questions, they are always available, even if it's outside of tax season.

I went to Bahl & Co. seeking help for my tax return. When I went in initially they were very courteous and straightforward in assisting me. After I decided to take my business there, they continued to show professionalism in all aspects of business. Anuj and the rest of the staff were consistently polite and helpful, and my tax return was handled very professionally. I think that they are very competent and skillful CPAs and recommend doing business with them.

I have been quoted less by accountants in the past, and I have been quoted more, but no one has done such a detailed job on my accounting. If you are looking for a professional CPA to guide your business in the right direction, this is the place to go. The fees are not astronomical, they are smart people, well versed in taxes, and they are very pleasant to work with.
They are doing my personal taxes this year as well as managing my books and payroll for a monthly fee. I set up a bill pay, gave them accountant's access to my accounts and completely free up my time to work on my own business. Very nice.
