Seeking Great CPA to Do Our Taxes for the Next 20 Years or So!

Hi All,

I have tried a couple CPAs in the past few years and found that both filed for extensions and took FOREVER on completing our taxes even though we handed off all our paperwork in mid-Feb. Can anyone recommend a great CPA who will just get it done and not go on vacation during tax season? We are laid back but we like to get our ducks in a row before deadlines hit. We would love to hear some recommendations or if you know of another resource I could use, I'm all ears. I looked at CPA reviews on here, but each one had one rec, except for one firm which had two recommendations - one from a customer, one from the CPA's wife. :-) I'd love to just find someone solid. Thanks for your help, Ladies!

Sounds like we think alike....our taxes are usually done and emailed by early Feb as well.

For personal taxes, my hubby does ours with TurboTax. It seems to be a relatively easy program, however, his undergrad degree is in accounting so this is "fun" for him.

For our business taxes, we opt to get a good CPA and we use Brandon Pitts in Allen. He is off Jupiter and Bethany. We like to get the company taxes done in a timely manner as well and he has never failed us.

Good luck.

We went through a CPA every year (one of them didn't even know I had a baby and could claim the child tax credit until I came in to sign my taxes and brought her with me!!) We landed on a great one who understands I just want to get my taxes done in a timely manner and save as much as I can.
Here he is:

Derik Torres, CPA

We use Ron Blumka (Blumka & Company) in Richardson. ###-###-####. We've used him for the past 5-6 years for both our personal and business taxes. We got a referral from a friend of ours in McKinney (we're in Flower Mound) who also has a business. And even though we often don't get him our paperwork as early as you do, he always gets it done very quickly. Good Luck

A., my husband and I have used Mark Merki (Merki & Associates) out of Denton for the last 15 or so years. He has done our personal as well as our business taxes. Have never had any problems with him. Usually have returns done within a week or even sooner. Prior to tax season he always sends out a worksheet so that we can submit our information in an orderly fashion. Hope this helps.

Hi A.
My husband is a CPA in Grapevine. I can speak from personal experience that he does not take off any time during tax season (working long hours and I am at home with my 2 little ones!) He prides himself on being quick and always available to his clients. He's very reasonable and will do a free consult for you! Here is his contact info: Greg Z. ###-###-####; ____@____.com; www.zachcpa.com
Good luck!
