Report
The firm totally screwed up my tax return for 2020. If I didn't catch the obvious mistakes, I would be paying a large penalty for my 2021 returns for under withholding. I had sent an email copying 3 DSJ accountants voicing concerns about preparing my 2021 returns but no one responded to that email promoting the change in accounting firms. Without appropriate customer service, present clients become former clients.

Please be aware.! Paperwork for taxes was filled out incorrectly and many errors were made. In which come to find out we owe back money On NYS Taxes. I had called multiple times to speak with an Accountant named Anthony Perrone. When I finally was able to get in touch with him he was completely unprofessional an extremely rude! ( Yelling and screaming) Absolutely no manners what so ever. Would not recommend him as an accountant!

I cant begin to describe how unprofessional they are. Like previous posters wrote, they never respond to emails. They ask the same questions over and over. And most importantly, they missed a crucial filing deadline, which resulted in a penalty for me with the IRS, and worst of all, when I told them about they, they refused to fix it. I have filed a formal complaint with the state licensing board. If the IRS does not waive the penalty, I will be taking DSJ to court. Yes theyre that bad. Feel free to message me for more details, but these guys are crooks!

I used to work with Howard Oconefsky, who is an excellent accountant. Several years ago DSJ bought his practice, and the quality became AWEFUL. They raised the prices a lot, and yet don't respond to emails or calls, miss deadlines, ignore complaints, and ask for the same documents multiple times because they lose the ones you send. They have 0 accountability, and yet somehow charge twice as much as my new accountant. I have never written a negative review about any business, but this firm INFURIATED me. I agree with other reviewers, stay away!

Agree with other posters. They missed a critical business tax deadline, and offered to do it 2 months later! at a rate way beyond reasonable. they apologized for messing up but would not adjust the invoice to reflect their error. I am now subject to an IRS penalty, and if my new accountant cant get it waived, I WILL be suing DSJ for negligence, in order to recover the money. also i had to call 5 times to get them to change another error.
I used to love working with Howard, but once these DSJ people bought him out it became AWFUL. they are so unprofessional. wouldnt wish them on my worst enemy, and considering filing a formal complaint with the state. Also, all their 4 star reviews are recent and from posters with only 1 review, so they are trying to artificially pump their ratings. These folks are really the least professional people I have ever worked with. UPDATE: The IRS has levied a 2000$+ fine on my business. I have formally complained to the NYS Licensing Board, who are investigating DSJ for negligence. I am also in process filing a lawsuit against them. Read the other reviews, beware of this company!

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Very disappointed! No communication! You are basically on your own! Had to ask so many questions didn't get anything worth the cost of the accountant!
