May 14, 2021 Report

I was a client of Bill and Ronda's for years when my business was located in the Chicagoland area. Then I moved to Ohio and found a local Cleveland accountant who I figured would be fluent in Ohio state (and municipal) tax codes and would be convenient to visit. HUGE MISTAKE! After utilizing this local Cleveland accountant (who I won't call out here) for three years I returned to WE Huml & Co and begged for them to take me back as a client even though I was 2 states away.

They agreed and WE COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. Ronda is always there for us, and even corrected and re-filed years of previous Ohio state taxes that our "Ohio accountant" did wrong. You'll never regret partnering with WE Huml and Co.!

Ronda Landry has been handling both our personal and corporate taxes for several years now. She responds almost instantly anytime we have a question and is always thoroughly explaining any work she's doing or answering any questions. She's also very proactive with making sure we're filing the correct forms, making payments on time, etc. and I feel like I have a much better handle on our finances because of the information she provides. Couldn't ask for a more professional or better CPA!

Bill and Ronda run a top notch firm. Last year we moved to KY and were afraid we'd need to find someone here. Nope, they have us covered! Ronda is extremely fast in responding to inquiries! I mean REALLY fast! She knows her stuff. We had questions throughout the year, not just tax time. Always on the spot with answers. They are really the best.

Expert accountants -- we've worked with Ronda the past 4 years. She has handled our complex tax situation with ease and made our annual tax filing simple. Ronda has excellent follow up, provides expert level advice and listens to her clients. We highly recommend this firm.

This review is not about Bill since I never met or worked with him. This is about my experience with Ronda. This woman was unfriendly from the start. She put no energy into my account and was unable to answer many of my accounting questions, I had to reach out to her twice to get an update on my taxes because so much time had lapsed between her last correspondences. Finally, three days before my corporate taxes were due, Ronda tells me she didn't want to work on my taxes. I highly recommend not ever getting involved with this woman. She put no interest in my personal or business' well-being.
