Critical: Professionalism Professional time wasters. They don't read potential client documents after requesting them and very unprofessional in attempted sales meetings.

William Is our accountant and boy oh boy is he good. Super responsive to emails and saved us a ton on our taxes. Our last accountant miscalculated our taxes and we had to pay a lot more than expected at the end of the year. William has been on the ball all year and was spot on with his calculation and keep us up-to-date as we went through the year. I think some of the other reviews may not be fair to Chandler and Knowles and I would argue user error on some of them.

The accountant can only work with what we provided them. I know a bad account team and their not it. I highly recommend them. Just remember to send in all documentation each quarter and there will not be any surprises. Trust me, William is amazing.

Critical: Quality Absolutely worthless! We has to hire another firm or redo everything. Found out we over paid the irs 12,000 dollars. Stay away from them. They are crooks!

This awesome CPA firm, Chandler & Knowles prepare my personal tax return as well as my business tax return every year. I grade them a 10 for communication in the process, a 10 for getting the process done and not intentionally planning to extend past the April deadline like the last CPA firm did to me and a 10 for the care that they take in their work. AWESOME!

I would highly recommend Chandler & Knowles, CPAs for all business needs. As a new business owner, who is also new to Texas, they did an outstanding job working with me and putting my mind at ease by addressing my questions and concerns. Whenever I have additional questions, their response is immediate and thorough. I really appreciate how helpful, patient, and friendly everyone is. My experience has been phenomenal!
