Very professional. Reasonable rates. Excellent follow up and responses to questions or concerns. I live out of state and still have them prepare my returns.

My time with them could not have been better. They were fast, accurate and a joy to work with. Their prices were less than others who acted like they would be doing me a favor to do my taxes. I recommend them to anyone who wants a CPA, like Joe, who is honest and efficient.

Joe Rapacki is first rate. His expertise and recommendation that I file as an incorporation has helped me save money. He is truly professional and quick to respond to all of my questions.

I've worked with this firm for years. I've had great experiences with Joe and his team and I recommend them to my fellow small business owners. I've sent several of my colleagues to Rapacki and will continue to do so.

We had to change from our previous company because they stopped working with individuals only business. We were referred to Rapacki from our previous company and could not have been more impressed with the people. They were professional from the first person (Allison) to our tax professional (Joe). I'm sure if you work with them, you will be impressed also.

I've worked with Joe for several years on my personal and S-corp accounts. His team makes themselves available-even to answer my stupid questions-they a patient, courteous, and professional. This past year alone, Joe identified opportunities that saved us several thousands of dollars in current and future taxes. I continue to refer family, friends, and even my mother-in-law!

I am VERY fortunate to have been introduced to Rapacki & Co by a very close friend, an attorney, who was their client for years. My life changed the day Joe Rapacki and his fine team began advising me. It's been about 8 years now, and I am more in control of financial matters than ever before. They are simply OUTSTANDING.
