Fechter

I was extremely happy with their service. Very professional and fast. They may not be the cheapest, but often you get what you pay for! It's the little things that make the difference. The completed tax file came direct to my door. Pre-addressed envelopes, already stamped, and paper clipped to the forms I needed to send in to the IRS made it simple and convenient. I'll work with Craig and his team again!

I have used Fechter and Co for many years to handle my taxes. I have found them to be reasonable, professional, and honest. Craig has been very helpful and responsive to all of my questions and concerns. Even after I moved out of Sacramento, I continued to work with him. If anyone I know needs a good CPA, I send them his way.

I will not recommend their service to anyone. We had booked a month in advance for a consultation. They rescheduled twice at the last moment - did not bother to notify me in advance. That, I can forgive. But, the third time around, they randomly decided to cancel the scheduled consultation. And, surprise - did NOT bother to notify me about it. I called 2 hrs before the appointment time just to confirm the time and I was told that they are not willing to see me because they are busy right now. Did they give a thought that as a working professional, I too have a busy schedule and that if they had intended to cancel my appointment, I would at least like to get a reasonable heads-up about it? This establishment lacks the basic courtesy to respect and value the time of others.

I am a friend of someone who called into Fechter and Company. Craig who is the CPA at the firm discriminated against my friend based on her status as a transgender female. She called him and she have a basic straight forward case. She has a w2. Craig proceeded to ask her questions about her gender like "Are you a dude?" and then said "You are a male with a female voice?". "I don't believe you, you have a male voice but a female name, you are a scammer. and said I'm not going to do your taxes." My friend said "I didn't do anything wrong." and Craig proceeded to say " no you didn't do anything wrong but you have a male voice with a female name and I'm not going to take on your case." And then hung up the phone.

This was a consultation which is where they are learning about your taxes. Before any tax details were shared he made these statements. He had no basis for this horrible treatment. There is a recording of the event this is horrible discrimination

This firm is expensive, and cares about the money they make over the concern of the customer. Multiple mistakes were made on my tax return or documents overlooked to prepare the document. The abilities of the CPA were questionable and when an inquiry was made about her abilities and concerns over mistakes made on my tax document, the owner shrugged it off and said work with the CPA. Despicable customer service, self serving firm, and extremely expensive.

I worked with Lamar. If you are a regional center vendor, these guys are worth a call. I found Lamar professional, fair, straight-forward yet down-to-earth and somebody you can work with. Pricing decent compared to others i have contacted or worked with. I like Lamar, one of the partners there.

Have been using Fechter & Co for years 10+. Always professional, exceptional service. Follow up is amazing. The best thing about tax time is Craig and his awesome team. Plus, you get to chat with Esther at least once a year.

I had a complicated tax situation last year that Craig took care of promptly and professionally. I did not have a w-2 from a prior employer, only a breakout of wages in Excel. Even though he'd never worked on a situation like that previously, I was very confident he would figure it out after I spoke to him, and he did not disappoint. Highly recommended!

Had Mr Fechter do my taxes for a couple years. Very good man and gets the job done.
