Report
I had a few questions regarding sale tax nexus and taxabilty of certain products and Jeff from Peisner Johnson did an amazing job in helping me out. As I am a small business owner from germany, I felt a little unsure about the complex taxing system in the US. After the call, I am feeling very confident, now. They were not only professional but you could really feel that they love what their doing.
I think that is really important! As I only had a few questions (sale tax vs use tax and confirming I have all relevant nexus requiremnts on the radar) they didn't charge my a penny (other companys asked for $300) and even offered me free mail support if I have more questions. When my business grows further and my tax tasks rise, they will be my first choice! All in all: professional, very kind and passionate Thanks again for this great call Jeff!

Report
Mike Fleming's ethics are deplorable. Over several weeks, Peisner Johnson & Company did not provide any of the time-sensitive sales tax related services that Mike Fleming committed to. Due to the firm's delays and unresponsiveness in status update requests, and since Michael admitted that he had put work for other clients ahead of mine before leaving on vacation, I was forced to perform the scope of work on my own. Michael Fleming refused to refund the $1000 for services he did not provide, and threatened to bill an additional $700 for out-of-scope services if I requested a refund from PayPal. Avoid this company, as they will expect to be paid without providing services.
