Real reviews from real Frederick County business owners, families, and nonprofits who trust us with their taxes year after year.
"I cannot recommend Roy enough! He is truly one of the most personable, caring, and professional CPAs I have ever worked with. This year I had a very difficult tax return while also purchasing a home, and Roy went completely above and beyond throughout the entire process. He was always available to answer my emails, texts, and phone calls no matter how many questions I had. He even took the time to personally help me make my tax payments online step by step, which meant so much to me during a stressful time."
Personal Taxes"Roy took a two year situation and worked the situation without any objections, like I had received with other accountants. My mom died three years ago, then the accountant she had went through a stroke; her personal returns were easy but the two farm returns covered federal and state and we missing information. We worked together and got all the returns submitted. Roy didn't hesitate; great communication; he never once said 'Well you should have' like I have been told by another accountant. Accountants are the most important employee, and Roy was easy to work with."

Easy to work with and very attuned to my personal situation, I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of similar tax assistance."

They are professional, responsive, and accurate — all things you need in someone who is handling tax returns. I live out of state now, but still use their services, as they have a progressive electronic platform that allows me to upload tax documents.
