I have worked with Mitch Cohen and ECS since 1992. At the time, I was a credit analyst with a local bank and Mitch was an accounting associate at the firm. He and the firm have always been very accessible. In addition to that, the information provided in the accompanying footnotes made my job so much easier. The company whose information I was examining didn't even have audited statements.
I could tell this was a firm that went above and beyond for its clients. Many years later, I referred the firm to a client who was being audited by the IRS. The company couldn't get its current accountant to meet with the agent and wanted some representation. The IRS was saying the company owed more than $100,000 in taxes, penalties and interest. Mr. Cohen worked with the company and agent to get a resolution.
The result was was a five figure refund to my client's company. ECS is incredibly professional and thorough. They work with my clients as true business advisors. They are not just number crunchers. They do an excellent job as strategic advisors. I will continue to refer business to them. I have never been let down. They help me look good as a valued resource just by working with professional companies like ECS Financial Services.

I have known and used ECS Financial for many years - both for my small business accounting needs and for our personal tax returns. Here's what great about ECS: - Professionalism without jargon - Listening - they really listen to understand what your challenges are and what you need - Solutions - Tobey W, Sam O and all the other staff I have worked with talk me through options/pros and cons - No up-selling. Based on their dedication to listening, they offer you all the services that you may need, but never any pressure to do more business with them than you need - No-surprises billing. I pay what I consider to be appropriate fees for the highest quality accounting services and advice I have ever had!

We are so happy with the services of ECS for our personal tax preparation. We have had questions during the year and received an extremely timely response each time. We will return this year. We worked with Tobey W. and couldn't be happier with his clear explanations and guidance. This is a stable company, with good staff, and a reasonable price.

I have used ECS Financial Services for my personal tax preparation services for 20+ years. They have always quickly and thoroughly answered my many questions regarding my taxes. The staff at ECS is friendly and caring. They are very competent professionals. In the time I have been their client, I have never been disappointed. I highly recommend them for tax services and accounting needs!

My experience with ECS Financial Services has very positive to date. Currently, I've been working with Ms. Pam Thomas and Mr. Ronald Borden and both have proven to be exceptionally attentive to the needs of their clients. The service I receive from this CPA firm continues to be one-of-a-kind. I highly recommend them to anyone requiring accounting or tax services in the real estate industry.
