Huddleston Tax Accountants

I do not recommend this company unless you want to get swindled. I contacted this company to file taxes, and after emailing and going over everything needed, they confirmed the range of their fees would be about $400. I later got a bill that was 3x the amount. They also took twice as long as they said it would take. They claimed my taxes were complicated, despite the fact we went over my tax filing situation before starting.

I had contacted Huddleston Tax CPAs to schedule an appointment to receive tax guidance. Jim Gianelli returned my phone call to inquire about my needs and he willingly provided me with so much unexpected guidance. He felt there was no need for me to pay a CPA to address my concerns. I am so grateful for Jim and his kindness.

Jim Gianelli was awesome to work with, he had excellent communication and really went above and beyond. I would definitely use him again and recommend him.

Jim was incredibly kind and helpful. He made sure I understood all my options in a particularly unusual situation. He has the best intentions for his client in mind. In addition to a very detailed meeting, he followed up with an email recapping everything discussed. I would trust Jim with my future tax needs.

Jim Gianelli helped me navigate the intricacies of my personal financial situation with concise, clear delivery of all the critical points I needed to make an informed decision. I absolutely would recommend working with him to anyone and will do so myself again in the future!

I am searching for a new CPA firm and came across Huddleston CPAs. They responded quickly and Janet had a 1/2 hour consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.

Prepared 2020 personal tax return. Profoundly disappointed. Charged us 2.5x what I'd expect and wanted us to sign a return with major errors. After we rejected it, they corrected the mistakes so we went from $12k OWED to $3k REFUND. I shudder to think that we might have trusted them, especially when their bill was shockingly high. Oh, and communication was abysmal.

Didn't say anything for weeks and when I insisted on an update 3 days before filing deadline, they just sent the signature request (with erroneous $12k owed amount) - no explanation, no remarks, just a standard "please sign and return" and oh yeah here's our excessive preparation fee on top of it. Once my fury subsides this will be a great story, about how our accountants tried to make us give away $15k but a little bit of skepticism saved it. smh.

I had a very pleasant and informative meeting with Huddleston Tax CPA's. I was working with Jim Gianelli and he as very knowledgeable and provided excellent information. I am planning on using Huddleston for my 2021 taxes.

I appreciate the prompt responses from the team at Huddleston Tax CPAs. This is my 1st time contacting them and I am very impressed by their professionalism. Janet at Huddleston was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I am looking forward to working with her. Thank you, Janet.

Our law office has been using Huddleston Tax accountants for several years. Their company is extremely professional, very helpful and take the headache of accounting off our shoulders. I would highly recommend the Huddleston Tax accountants. -The Schauer Law Offices

Huddleston Tax CPAs have handled my personal and business income tax for several years. They have a highly professional and skilled staff that accommodates my income tax needs including filing foreign earned income, state income from more than one state and other tax situations that might be a challenge for the folks at H&R Block. They even helped me when I forgot to report income from a tax deferred investment.

I've used Huddleson Tax for my business for the past 5 years. They do a great job with my taxes and answer relevant questions when needed throughout the year. They are priced fair and very responsive. Janet is knowledgeable and is always up to date on the ever changing complexities of our current market. I'd recommend them to a business looking for an accounting partner.

I have been using Huddleston tax cpas for more than 10years now and they have been great. They keep improving their processes over time making it more convenient, for example, providing support for intuit to upload docs.

At a free consultation it was suggested my tax preparation was simple enough that I could do it myself. They offered an hour of consulting time to review it if I would like, rather than charging me much more to do the preparation for me. I appreciated the honesty and customer service provided. I feel more confident in my filings knowing that I can pay for a second opinion if that is all that is needed.

Huddleston is a Best of Show firm. Their encyclopedic knowledge of the issues, immediacy of conveying a solution in plain language, and the speed of executing that solution makes them a First Choice provider. You can pay more with others, but you can't get better than Huddleston -- we use them for both our business and personal taxes.

The folks at this firm know what they're doing and they are extremely good at responding to questions in a timely manner. I never feel like I'm being ignored. I get good advice and excellent tax service. Plus they are available for one-on-one consultation as needed. On top of that, prices are reasonable and fair. I highly recommend.

I was pleased with the quality of the service provided by one of the company's accountants. I was able to save on my tax bill. I recommend Huddleston wholeheartedly.

I've been using Huddleston Tax for a few years now after doing my own taxes. Now that I am married with children my tax situation is more complex than it used to be. Huddleston has helped me take care of the changes in my life and assist with tax related questions and strategy. They are great!

I appreciate the prompt response to my tax return and questions. The instruction on next step after receiving my tax return was very helpful and easy to follow. I felt the price was fair based on what I needed done. John was responsive and very willing to help answer my future/potential tax payment due to the pending sale of my investment property. Definitely will use them again.

I have setup a new company and went to Steven with so many questions. Steven is awesome. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and super helpful in advising.

I have worked with Steven Lok and ask several questions regarding my start-up tax. He answered all the questions explicitly and provide me with very good recommendations and hints. I believe he and the team are very well experienced and I will go back there for my personal and company taxes.

I gave a 1 star so this review will be posted. I had my taxes done by this company and met with the owner. Our tax person passed away so I was hoping for a good fit with a new CPA. In the spirit of being fair, our taxes were done, but much more expensive than the last folks we had utilized. I took this into account, but when we needed a? Or 2 answered before doing our next years taxes, the owner charged me for a phone call to one of his employees.

I was not made aware I would accrue a charge for the call. The?'s I asked were not that important, but I felt I needed them answered. Before I knew it and without being warned I would receive a bill. He would not back down when questioned about a bill one did not even know they we're accruing. I paid the bill and did not go back to them for my taxes that year.

I found a wonderful person that has treated me kindly and with respect. John is only in it for the money in my view. Not one bit of personal care for my circumstances was thought about. I hope he is treating others better. He sure lost my confidence and my money.

I couldn't give a zero star rating here, unfortunately. I was quoted $200 to get my simple returns done. But after the returns were done, I was quoted $850. They had charged ridiculous hours for my returns. When I got my returns checked out from someone at Ernst and Young, they said the returns were very simple and the hours charged by Huddleston was ridiculous. Also, they didn't prepare the returns in time of the tax deadline. Stay clear of this firm!

As a small business seeking tax help this company has failed me miserably. If you no nothing about taxes they cannot help. Aside from that I was quoted about $250 and billed $750.

I realized that I should deduct my daughter's considerable medical expenses for my taxes, but was not sure of the way to do it and documentation needed. So I hit Yelp, and saw only this firm with a significant number of enthusiastic recommendations. After procrastinating nearly too long, I got an extension and contacted this firm to figure out the necessary details.

I eventually assembled the paperwork, just in time the last week or two before the second due date, and sent it over the this firm. My filing was just accepted. These folks were accessible and responded to each inquiry rapidly. The cost, while not cheap, matched their initial quote and seems fair. I initially worked with Lili Zhou, then Steven Lok did most of the work a few months later at crunch time. They did just what I needed done. Thanks!

Huddleston Tax CPA's has been handling my law firm and personal taxes for several years. John and Jessica have been tremendous to work with, knowledgable and supremely professional. John and his team always have time and communication is always excellent. They always have answers for me when I need them. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-shelf accounting services. Thank you John & Jessica!

I went their to get my tax done. They were very unprofessional, have poor customer service, and too expensive. Left the office without getting my tax done.

Conscientious and hardworking staff. Always have thoughtful ideas to improve my business. They are also nice people.

Jessica C. has been a godsend ever since we contacted her a couple of years back to help with our IRS1040s. She and the team at Huddleston Tax CPAs (including John H. :)!) have been with us through the thick and thin. Come here if you want the CPA services and guidance you've been looking for!

I was very disappointed in the service we received, not from John, but from another accountant in this office. There was delay, after delay, with our taxes sitting on someone's desk with no movement for weeks, had to file an extension, and finally we had to call and demand to talk to John directly to get some answers. Come to find out, the taxes were done and just, well, sitting there with no reason why. I would look elsewhere for tax service, especially if you have a business.

Huddleston Tax CPAs began preparing my tax returns and advising me on tax and accounting matters beginning in 2002. The two CPAs that I work with are very responsive and very knowledgeable. Any time that I did not reach them immediately they returned my call or emailed by the next day. They have given me important advice which has minimized my tax burden.

This is vital as I need this additional capital to continue growing my business. They have also kept me up to date on the various tax deadlines that I need to meet as a small business. It's important to me that I get the right tax advice to minimize my tax burden and stay clear of the long arm of the IRS. Also, when the situation arises (call from the IRS or important pending business transaction) I want to make sure I have a top notched tax professional who is familiar with me and my business.

For this reason, I know I wanted a CPA firm rather than just a person who prepares tax returns. While a non CPA firm tax preparer is definitely the cheapest way to go (at least in the short run), I have been impressed with the value I have received over the years from Huddleston Tax CPAs. Their fees compare favorably with other quality CPA firms. I highly recommend Huddleston Tax CPAs.

This is a follow up from the first review I wrote ~3mos ago. Since then I have completed my taxes with another firm and have a company that was second doing my payroll now. The company that did my taxes charged me $400 for my personal return where John charged me ~$1000.00 plus this year I have an S corp return which was $300. It was exactly what they quoted me and was still less then what John charged me for one return.

They gave me so much value in the communication they had with me and gave creative steps for future returns. I should also tell you that John called me to offer money back to adjust my review. When I countered and asked for the amount back that would have been the same amount charged by my current firm he refused to do it and the difference was only ~$100.

This guy is more concerned about making money than treating people right. This is at least the impression he is giving me. I see that he has a few good reviews, so just take my story with a grain of salt and if your budget for tax returns is important to you, just realize that his estimate may be inaccurate and your actual bill may be on the higher side like mine was.

I will end with the way I started, to be fair, the tax return was professionally repaired and to date has not been called out with any errors by the IRS. Best of luck to you!

I have been corresponding with John via email regarding my out of state rental property which was sold in 2012. He has answered a lot of my questions via email throughout the year and gave lots of good advice. Come the tax time I had a lot more questions and doubts, so he made time to meet with me in person for an hour to look over my situation and point out important questions and areas to follow up.

He was honest about what he knew and didn't know and gave me solid pointers. I would certainly expect to pay at least for his time but he didn't charge me anything for all that advice. I highly recommend John for the personal attention he provides and being willing to help out informally without expecting to be compensated for his time.

He was recommended to me by a financial adviser. He was prompt to answer emails and calls. My questions were about tax implications related to inheritance. He was very knowledgeable in answering the questions and honest when a point was outside his expertise.
