If you are like most, you have beautiful low expectations of what a nice accountant does - they prepare the necessary paper filings and send them to you for your signature. They may have them done before April 15 - or they may not! They may meet with you once a year. We're here to tell you that you should EXPECT MORE!

I met Donna and Chad while camping a few years ago. We work on the road and it's always hard to find someone to work with. Donna intrigued me because she says she works with people virtually all over the US. After talking with Donna during our stay, I decided to schedule a meeting with her when she was back in the office. I liked that she was showing us how much money we were wasting on taxes, money that we could use to run our business and travel.
We signed up for her services and have been absolutely thrilled! Our work is always done on time and Donna is always proactive in helping us with tax savings and getting our taxes done on time. We have never had any issues with the IRS - in fact, during Covid Donna helped us get a lot of the funding that we qualified for, some of which involved amending returns. She has been fantastic. If you are looking for someone who is proactive and knows her stuff, call Donna at Calculated Moves!

Use at your own risk! If you want the IRS and State harassing you because your CPA assured you that your taxes were filed and later learn that they were never filed, then use Bordeaux & Bordeaux, or whatever they have changed their company name to at the time. I asked for assistance and proof of electronic filing after receiving letters from the State Department of Revenue, but was told they changed computer systems and no longer had that information and everything I needed should be accessible on my file. They never offered any assistance and left me with a lot of fees and penalties for their mistake. Terrible customer service!

I have used Donna Bordeaux to complete and file my and my husband's personal income taxes for years. Imagine my surprise when my husband and I received a response this past September from the IRS stating that our taxes were incorrect and we owed $8000 on our 2010 taxes! My husband emailed Donna Bordeaux and her response was to blame the 1040 form from my employer - a business in our area that employs over 10,000 people and provided over 10,000 1040 forms that were used by many accountants and tax preparers to file taxes!
My husband and I knew the $8,000 was a tax that we were to pay, but my husband emailed Donna Bordeaux to state that the $400 penalty should be a charge for which she was responsible. She responded that this was a mistake and that we would have to pay this. Donna Bordeaux did not stand behind her work. We paid her approximately $500 for services that were not correctly provided. Additionally, she offered no help for the penalty that was assessed based on her inaccurate calculations.
To pay as much as we did, I would expect an incorrect calculation of this amount to raise some concerns by a competent accountant. I especially would expect her to make note that my husband's salary, which was considerably more than mine, would generate a least a little more federal tax paid than mine. Finally, I understand that mistakes occur, but it is Donna Bordeaux's professinal responsibility to right a wrong by paying the $400 penalty, instead of ignoring my husband's request for her to pay this.
