Mr Bailes did quick work on my project and didn't charge me a fortune like other accounting firms. Was easy to meet and discuss in person at Addison location.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness Bailes and Co came highly recommended, but they gave me a lot of wrong answers to my questions. Get a second opinion. I felt like I was a burden to them and they had better things to do. But they sure did take my money.

This company is top notch! Excellent firm to use for any specialization accounting assignments you need done. Business valuation and business set up are difficult and I will refer Bailes & Co to all my clients needing CPAs!
