John has been a gold mine of information for doing both our personal and my business taxes for the past five+ years. Service and professionalism are both above expectations, and pricing is extremely fair for the quality of John's service. I highly recommend Schaaf CPA Group.

John and his team are outstanding! We're fairly new to Indiana and our first year we had multi-state and small business taxes to be completed. John provided us with excellent tax advice and quick turn around on all tax documents.

I have been using Schaaf for 4 years starting after my husbands death and they have been patient, kind, and easy to work with. They were recommended by a friend and have been great ever since I started using them. They took the stress out of taxes! They have been worth every dollar!

Since starting our business about a year ago Schaaf CPA Group has been by our side. They do a great job in keeping us on track with our filings and taxes. We also use their payroll service which is an easy process with them. It's great knowing we have someone on our side to help us navigate the many tax and payroll laws and regulations. I would highly recommend Schaaf to anyone looking for a CPA.

Last year was our first experience with Schaaf CPA Group. We were so impressed with them! They were extremely knowledgeable and very helpful with our tax questions. In the past, it's taken over a month to get our tax return prepared but we were pleasantly surprised that Schaaf CPA Group had ours done in a matter of days. We will definitely be using them for many years to come. They were great!

I have gone to Schaaf CPA group for over 20 years and John and his team are always professional, efficient and polite. I get my taxes in a few days so I can pay them and receive my refund faster than some tax preparer places which make you wait weeks to get your refund. Thanks for the great service!
