I just moved to SC and was looking for a tax service I could trust. Accel Tax and Business Services was a great find. They are professional and so easy to work with. Their services are well priced for the services provided. I would recommend them to anyone.

Really overpriced, I highly recommend shopping around this place is over double what most places are in Mount Pleasant. They have a minimum fee of $375 and will not tell you until it's completed these people are absolute jerks! I paid the same amount to get my taxes done when I owned two businesses and had tons of expenses this year I had two simple w-2s with no expenses it doesn't make sense to charge somebody that amount of money! The staff is rude and very unhelpful. I highly highly recommend finding another tax Service! Horrible experience!

Mark Neath and the Accel Team have proven themselves time and again as wholly trusted and highly valued partners and advisors. Through the process of acquiring and continuing to operate three different companies over the last five years, Mark became one of my first calls for financial, tax, and general business advice. The Accel team can be relied on for clear-headed insights and sober advice. They are consistently and quickly responsive, even during periods of their busiest seasonal demands, and their fee structure is highly competitive, offering terrific value to their clients based on the exceptional quality of their services.
It is without reservation that I recommend the expertise of Accel and know that my businesses are stronger because of their partnership. I have referred Accel to clients, friends, and other business partners. All have been grateful for and pleased with the introduction. I look forward to ongoing guidance from the Accel Team in the years to come.

Accel always does an excellent job with my tax return. I've been a client for 15 years and live out of state, but working with the pros at Accel is a breeze.
