Ken Callero handled my mother's taxes for several years. She passed away suddenly in April 2021. I contacted him a short time later to inform him and to inquire if there was anything special he would need since I was trustee. I was told it should be an easy return. I sent all the information at the end of Feb. I heard little or nothing from him for weeks so I emailed him to be sure he received the info.

I did get a quick text affirming this. In late March after hearing nothing. I began contacting him and received no responses. 2 weeks before taxes were due he left a msg stating we might have a problem and he needed more info. I repeatedly tried contacting him but he never called back. I finally got him on his cell at which point he said he had to have his file in front of him and he would call me in 15 min.

He never called back, kept all of my files and did nothing. This last part occurred about one week before the filing deadline. I have never again heard from him and had to hire another accountant and pay for an extension. I would have liked to have filed a lawsuit against him but felt it would be more worthwhile to inform people of his incompetence so that they do not end up in a similar situation.

I cannot thank Chris enough for everything he's done for us! Not only did he amend 3 years of taxes, he filed our 2019 taxes that were neglected from a previous accountant AND filed our 2020 taxes like a pro! He is detail oriented, patient and extremely thorough. I highly recommend Callero & Callero and Chris Murschel.

We have been using Callero & Callero for our taxes for years. Chris is very professional and patient, as my husband and I always have a lot of questions for him regarding our businesses. I can't imagine using anyone else. He makes the process very easy. Would highly recommend!

I have been using Callero & Callero for my family's taxes for the last five years, and they have helped us tremendously. Chris Murschell is our CPA and he kept our information organized, asked insightful questions to maximize our refund, and helped us plan for the following year. I also recently started up a new LLC and Chris kept me organized with all the paperwork I needed to ensure my estimated tax payments arrived when they needed to.

He has been responsive to my all my questions and timely, which is essential for anyone. At this point, I wouldn't trust anyone else to take care of my family and highly recommend the place.

We have been working with Chris at Callero & Callero, LLP for the past five years or so, & it has been the best working relationship we have could have possibly asked for. Chris is patient & polite, yet direct & firm in his quest to provide us & the rest of his clients the best tax preparation service. He manages our relationship very well & we always look forward to working with Chris & his staff every tax season.

I highly recommend Chris Murschel & the rest of his staff at Callero & Callero for their integrity, their professionalism, & their overall completeness of the work they provide.

As the author of 6 business books and teacher of customer service, (christinespeaks.com) I can state that Jim Diamico, Jenny Barber, and the staff are superb in their field. I was introduced to them by my lawyer, whom I am thanking all the time. Great tax and financial services advice and dependability! They set the bar for how all financial services and professionals should operate. Thanks folks! You are the BEST! And As Good as It Gets!

I have been a client of Callero and Callero's for over 20 years. They have provided tax advice and tax return preparation for our business as well as for my personal returns. They have been consistently responsive and applied a level of expertise to complicated tax matters. The service they provide has a personal touch. I also value the consistency in the relationship over the years; in contrast to larger firms, at Callero and Callero you have the opportunity to work with the same person/team over many years. I highly recommend this group of professionals.

They have been handling my various accounts for over 10 years. I love the fact that you leave with your return and the professionalism of the staff. It is a family run organization and they make you feel like part of their family. They utilize the most up-to-date electronic software for your returns. Retrieve information from the electronic portal is very easy. I'm never happy doing my taxes but they do make it easier and more fun.

The reception staff is very knowledgeable and a delight to deal with. Being a local family owned operation you'll meet a lot of your friends neighbors and business associates in the lobby. They even have Girl Scout cookies and worlds finest chocolate fundraiser's for the local baseball team.

I had a terrible experience with these "professionals". The accountant assigned to my tax return did not know what an estate was. He had absolutely no clue. I had to teach him & lead him thru the steps. When I explained my frustration with their employee, I was treated rudely by the office clerk. Fees were not explained & I was charged over $850 for a personal & estate return. Tax season is a distant thought, but this office should be a no go for any accounting work & preparing your tax return.
