I really enjoy working with all of the friendly staff at Checks and Balances. Keith and Shakara have personally helped me with my payroll, accounting, and tax needs for my business for the last 3.5 years. I couldn't be more satisfied by the time and effort given to me and my company. They go above and beyond to help with any questions or concerns I may have. I would highly recommend Checks and Balances!

I used this business for many years to process my tax returns without issue. A few years ago, my refund was held up for a considerable amount of time. It was well after the typical waiting period. It turns out that there was a mistake in the refund related to health insurance status. The problem is, all of the necessary information was provided to the person who prepared my taxes at the time of our meeting.
In spite of this being entirely the error of Checks and Balances, I was left on my own. They told me that I would have to fight my insurance company and the IRS about the error that THIS COMPANY made. They made no effort to make up the difference in the refund which they screwed up due to their incompetence. They didn't even refund the fee that I paid them to process this return.
I emailed the owner again requesting that he correct the mistake that his company made. He never even responded. Perhaps the most ironic thing about this encounter is that their motto is "The difference between accounting firms is how they treat their clients". I actually agree with them on this and for that reason, would never recommend this company to anyone who expects that a paid professional should be accountable for their mistakes. Accountability is not a word that this company is familiar with.
This left a very bitter taste in my mouth and I have not used this company since. In fact, having asked plenty of questions previously, I know enough to take care of my taxes on my own, and in spite of not being anything close to a professional accountant, have not screwed my taxes up once. Save yourself a lot of hassle and money by NOT using this company.
