Report
We moved our business headquarters to the Brenham area in 2020. The pandemic was an issue I'm sure, but these folks are the absolute worst at responding, and the least professional when they finally do that I've ever dealt with. And I've used CPA firms for over 30 years. We tried for over 45 days to get them to have a meeting with us and finally gave up. They have too much business and have lost their zeal. Sorry guys.

Report
This firm has been a Godsend for my family! From tax and estate planning to managing tasks for my parents as they aged, Seitel & Schroeder has exceeded all reasonable expectations for a CPA firm. A special note of appreciation goes out to Amanda Stolz and Ann Pape especially. Each of these women have breached the normal paradigm and extended to a watchdog / advocate role at times. Ignore the review below, our involvement with this firm extends beyond that two year old complaint.
