Report
Geoffrey was able to pick me up as a client late in the tax season. He has a lot of clients and is in the office a lot, and almost always answered the phone which was awesome. He has an eye for detail and caught some subtle mistakes that would have been very easy to miss, even for a trained eye. Does a professional job, got everything in on-time and takes the time necessary to do it. I'll hopefully be having him do my taxes as long as he's in the business.

As a small business owner, I have worked with numerous accountants and Geoffrey truly is the best that I have found. He is quick to respond with any questions that I may have and has handled all my taxes thoroughly and efficiently. I feel that my business is in great hands and all the t's are crossed and i's are dotted.

Upon our first meeting, I had a great feeling about Geoff. But, I later learned that Geoff is terribly unorganized, and seems completely overwhelmed at tax season. When I asked for strategic advise, it was quite cursory.

I tried this guy instead of my usual accountant in the hopes he would save me more money. Not only did I end up owing more, but he also charged me 3x more than my other accountant. He also charged me double what he had originally quoted me. Hope he feels good about ripping off a fulltime graduate student at CSU.
