Report
One star because zero or negative stars is not possible. Donna Baptiste and Cohen & Grieb, P.A. NOT TO BE TRUSTED! At least 3 times, they asked for information that had already been provided. Then they wanted me to sign a contract agreeing to pay for undefined future work at undisclosed rates, with no end date, and no language stipulating that I would be able to approve any work in advance. And, worst of all, they didn't even know what IRS form to use to report some 1099 income.
They even asked my investment advisor - he is not a tax professional! When I expressed my frustration at their lack of knowledge, they quit on me, just a few days before the filing deadline. They did do my very small, sole-owner S-corp taxes separately from personal taxes (before the contract and 1099 issues) probably just so they could bill an extra $750 on top of what they were going to bill me for my personal tax filings. I hate to imagine how much the personal ones would have set me back. Are Donna Baptiste and Cohen & Grieb worth several hundred dollars? NOT, NOT, NOT. Caveat emptor!
