William R Stewart & Associates

Not sure why this place gets any good reviews, we had an absolutely terrible experience! They never answer phones and do not abide by any consistent working hours for you to stop by (ignore the hours of operation listed here, they are never in the building during those). We got our tax documents and information to them this year weeks in advance of the tax deadline but they left us hanging and answered no phone calls/voicemails until someone there finally told us (weeks after the tax deadline) that they filed for an extension on our behalf (not sure why if everything was on time from us.).

Then we didn't hear from them for another several weeks and, despite multiple phone calls and attempted in-person stop-bys, no one would speak to us. They finally emailed some paperwork to us on a Friday afternoon (right before leaving the building for the weekend at 2pm and not answering the phones) saying we owe thousands of dollars in taxes and now-- because of THEIR lateness-- we owe late fees and are past due on taxes with the IRS!

This is extremely unprofessional and just all around awful experience. You are better off going to H&R Block or doing the taxes yourself. They assign you a certain accountant and makes it seem like you will be taken care of, but we learned in our repeated attempts to reach them that the accountant doesn't actually take care of your taxes and they are actually done by a collection or random, lower-level assistants.

You will be treated like a number rather than a person and that is something you could get literally anywhere else. Not worth the hundreds of dollars they charge for preparation-- not at all! We absolutely DO NOT recommend this company.

They manage our payroll and taxes for the business. They have always been available which is a great benefit of using a local company!

The folks at Stewart & Company are always friendly, courteous and professional. The customer service from the payroll support staff alone is incredible, and the associates in the front office greet everyone with a warm hello. Even the owners feel like family, always asking how our kids are doing and how our holidays were. It's such a nice feeling knowing we aren't just another "file" for them.

From day one our account handler, Elizabeth Wells, has gone above and beyond to ensure all of our needs are met and provides accurate and timely business support. Every bump in the road she has been there to hold our hand and help guide us in the right direction. Her proactive approach to accounting is highly appreciated. I recommend this accounting firm to all of our friends and colleagues at every chance I get. Nothing but a pleasure working with them and I look forward to the coming years of growing my business with their unwavering support!

We have been working with Stewart & Co for 5 years now. I am extremely pleased with the communication, the responsiveness and how pro-active all the staff has been. Jennifer Austin is our Tax manager and its great to have someone who will guide me through tasks I am not familiar with, in the best interest of our firm. I love working with our Stewart & Co Team!

We have worked with Stewart & Company for over 10 years. They have always been awesome. The staff is extremely helpful in all ways possible. I have worked with Jennifer A. for most of our time with the Company and she is the best! Always there when i need her the most. Great Company and awesome staff! I would recommend them to everyone!

We have been long time clients for both our personal and corporate tax needs with Stewart and Co. Everyone is great! We have recently been working closely with Jennifer Austin and she has been nothing less than stellar in assisting us. I'll be honest in saying that I can be a bit needy and demanding when it comes to tax issues and she handles all of our requests in stride. Always professional, always accurate, and even taking the time to answer emails after hours or on weekends. If you're looking for a CPA don't hesitate! Dr. Nilsson

We have been using Stewart & Company for well over 10 years! The best decision we ever did was switch to them. Kevin, Danny, Jan and the rest of the team are always courteous and very helpful. We also use their payroll services, Leigh and her coworkers are great to work with. They have our payroll completed very quickly. I highly recommend their services!

I have used Stewart and Company for almost 20 years for my personal and business tax returns and for tax advice. The duration of my relationship with Stewart and Company is a ringing endorsement in itself. I have been working over the past few years with Jennifer Austin. I have found her to extremely knowledgeable, easy to work with and readily accessible. I now view her specifically and Stewart and Company generally as valuable team members for my business.

I have recommended these guys for 12 years now. I opened a business with them and closed one with them. I have used them for personal taxes and I switched my current company I work with over to them as well. They are quick with responses and answer any questions in "English, I don't do taxes terms". I read another review that I'm pretty sure that guy left for the wrong company based off his comments so I hope that doesn't deter someone from using them. You will definitely build a great working relationship using them.

Our business has been with Stewart & Company for about 11 years. We have received great service and have built a good relationship with the staff. We have received our work in a timely manner. They have done a great job.

We were new to the area and have always used a non-corporate tax preparer to get a quality product and equally quality service so it was a no brainer going with this company.or so we thought. We dropped off our paper work on Saturday the 10th at which time we were told 2 things. 1. 7-10 business days 2. $300-400 prep fee (we thought higher than normal but maybe there service makes up for it) Skip forward 7 days we call get a blanket anwser of "there being finalized should be any day now" 2 weeks go by I call the owner direct he says "I'm with a client I'll check and call you back after" NO CALL.

My wife calls gets the old "he's out of the office want to leave a message?" We try calling his cell and he responds the blanket text back of "I'm busy and I can't talk rite now" About an hour and half goes by one of his co-workers calls me and says oh I'm sorry we had an issue with the tax software should only be a couple more days.and we wait.

Today I get a call from the receptionist and she leaves a message the taxes are ready to be signed, we think great, cool 18 days later 13 business days later we were told it was going to be $500. Update: They gave us our money back for all the troubles we went went through however I received a call a couple weeks ago saying we had a bill for the money they refunded us due to all the confusion. I told them that we were refunded our money due to all the troubles we had dealt with.

My wife and I have used Stewart and Company for our personal accounting and consulting since we moved to the area. We became business owners a couple years ago and they now also help us with all of our Corporate needs. I will say that Kevin Stewart is honest, professional, knowledgeable, and an all around great guy! All the things you want when trusting someone with your financial well being. I'd highly recommend Stewart and Co to anyone in the area looking for a great group to help guide them through any financial environment.

Accurate Drafting has used Stewart & Company for about 15 years. We were contacted by Kevin Stewart initially (via cold call). He met with us and explained their services. We liked what we heard, signed on and have been well taken care of ever since. Our business has grown some and we have become better business men. Stewart has grown right along with us and provides us with all the support we need for financial and other business related purposes. The staff is knowledgeable and professional. We enjoy our working relationship with Stewart and Company immensely.

We have been clients of Stewart & Company for several years. Kevin Stewart was recommended to us by our attorney for all of our accounting needs. Kevin is extremely honest, professional, and knowledgable. All qualities one must possess when trusting someone with our finances. Kevin and his entire staff have been incredible. Every phone call, e-mail, and inquiry is answered quickly and thoroughly.

No question is too small or insignificant. If it is important to you then it is important to Kevin and his team. We could not be happier with the services we have received from Stewart & Company. We genuinely appreciate their services and guidance. We highly recommend Stewart & Company for all of your accounting needs.

I have been a loyal client for 5 years. I was charged a substantially different amount recently then I had been charged in the recent past for similar services. The explanation and charges for time were not at all helpful or comforting. Unfortunately my treatment on the way out, because of closing my company, was not at all the same as when I first started having them provide services for me. I do NOT recommend Stewart and Co. and hope this is helpful to those considering.
