I have met with Barbara personally, she offers free initial consultation and was very knowledgeable and helpful. Please disregard the negative reviews about the tree because those are not relevant to the business she offers. I will be back and big thank you

Critical: Quality I can't comment on her work as an accountant, but there is definitely something very odd and revealing about a person who deliberately tries to destroy a neighbor's peach tree in such a public and wanton manner. The entire neighborhood looked forward to the bounty of this small white peach tree. Such a shame. Pure vandalism.

This company has been extremely disdainful of the residential neighborhood in which they do business. They are rude and aggressive towards the people who have lived in the neighborhood for years and have acted in ways that are extremely unprofessional. We are sad and disappointed that someone who lives elsewhere, comes into our city displays such unwarranted contempt for our neighbors, friends and children who walk and play here.

You can tell a lot about the character and ethics of a person by the way they treat their neighbours and I would never willingly choose to do business or recommend doing business with a neighbour who behaves in the vile and self-serving way that this one does. While other reviews point to the poor nature of the service she offers through this business, please note that she is a nightmare of a neighbour, a bully of the worst kind, and someone who would rather use passive aggression and outright aggression to communicate.

In the latest act of unneighbourly nastiness, she is responsible for chopping down the majority of a tree that fed the neighbourhood for years, a tree that the owner would charitably invite the community at large to enjoy the bounty of each year. She ensured not only that this was done before the peaches could be enjoyed this year, but that is was destroyed in a way that made it clear that it was about committing a cruelty for the pleasure of and not because it was in a bit of her space

I have used the services of BAK years ago since she has an office in the neighborhood but based on her imperious behavior as a neighbor I would never ever use her services again. I can highly recommend another accounting firm in Frederick, Beverly Moulden. I watched as BAK's husband chain sawed the neighbor's peach tree. I went over afterward and sat under the tree and expressed my gratitude for it's bounty and the peaches that are widely shared with all who come by.

You can tell a lot about this business by the way that they handle community relationships with homeowners even though they rent the business office. I hope that BAK retires and a more neighborly business takes it's place.
