Report
If you are looking for an accounting firm that will make tons of mistakes on your accounting and waste tons of time, this is the perfect firm. Their tax return department, biz op department, and reviewed fs departments are terrible. After having DPVB do some work for us, we had our ex-accountant review the work and she had originally found 7 or 8 mistakes. These were only the first mistakes that we found.
We repeatedly asked them, many times, to fix these mistakes. After around 9 months, they assured us that these mistakes were corrected. After we double checked what they assured us of, we realized 3 or 4 (about half) of the original mistakes were still left uncorrected. We mentioned that again, there were uncorrected mistakes and they once again assured us these mistakes were corrected. Fast forward, and we decided to continue working with them.
They generated 7 financial statements for 7 of our different entities. On 3 of these 7, they made many errors. After countless reminders once again, they left these mistakes uncorrected. Eventually, when the final financial statements were generated, we still found many more errors, as well as some that we had reminded them of as well as brought to their attention.

I called and Pumkin from Flavor of Love answered. She was helpful in getting me an appointment but i told her she still needed that face lift.
