Stay far away! Where should I start, Oliver and Michelle both failed terribly. Over 150k in un accounted for invoices from the previous partner which had hired them. Message me for as many details as you would like. I have all communications. I have attached that they are also withholding our company's tax return until they receive their 12,000 bogus invoice which they still cannot explain. In addition, they are holding a 6k payroll deposit which they still have yet to return after we terminated service with them last month. The worst part, they were shocked that I wanted to switch to a competent accountant.

I've worked with Michelle and her staff for 8 years. She has reliably delivered year after year and been an incredible support in the businesses I have built and run.

My husband and I needed our taxes done quickly this year and Michelle had them prepared within 2 business days! She also looked at our 2017 tax returns and after refiling we are expecting a return from last year as well. Anyone who has had there taxes prepared by one of the large national outlets should have them double-checked by Michelle and her Team. Thanks again!

Tax preparers are supposed to be expensive, right? That's what I thought, which is why I was paying upwards of $100 for turbotax software every year. After I got audited for making a mistake on turbotax, my dad recommended I try Elder Accountancy. I'm so glad I did! The office was super professional, Michelle (the owner) was a pleasure to work with - you could tell she was truly passionate about what she does.

She had my state and federal taxes prepared in 2 days, as well as a larger refund than I had ever received with turbotax! To top it all off: She charged only $50 for the filing, because apparently as a student my taxes were very easy. Elder Accountancy is awesome! Go here.
