Rude and frustrated with my questions, even though I stressed that I have a weird situation and I literally just started doing my own taxes. Acted as if this is all stuff I should've already known when that was the very reason I was calling, because I DIDN'T know. Would not use again.

I have been here twice now and have dealt with Ted Meiers Jr. on both occasions. He is very kind and professional. I have worked with a couple of accountants in Toledo but he is the BEST. Highly, highly recommended. God bless your business.
