Report
We were looking for a CPA to handle our family income taxes and this firm was recommended to me. I called them and the receptionist was polite and professional. He took down all my information and told me someone would call me back soon. No one ever did. Elder & Isaac don't need you or your business. Give your hard-earned cash to a firm that has the decency to call you back.

Elder & Associates uncovered many deductions and helped prepare my taxes for 2016. They did an excellent job and were very responsive throughout the process. They even did a follow up meeting after my taxes were submitted to educate me on things I could do in 2017 to better my return the following year. I would recommend these guys for anyone who owns their own business or works for themselves.

Report
I had need of a CPA or other qualified tax preparation service to review / refile my income taxes. This firm didn't want to meet with me because I am a small business - one woman show. I'm not their typical customer. They directed me to call H&R Block or someone like them. The trouble with the other firms like the one they suggested is that I couldn't seem to get anyone on the phone. I practically begged them to help me, and they refused a customer.
