First of all, why can we only choose 3 of the five star-qualities when we review on Thumbtack? That’s just wrong. So wrong when you stumble onto a resource that deserves ALL STARS AVAILABLE. Steve Shapiro is a fantastic accountant. I came to him a ball of nerves with some legally-required, quick turn-around, catch-up tax work to do and he knocked it out like a total boss, gave amazing advice and calmed my nerves. He did it all with the confidence that comes from years of experience and solid smarts. And, oh, did I mention, his fees are absolutely fair!!? Most the time in the tax industry when someone is this good it costs an arm and a leg. I never want anyone else to do my taxes again. He will be helping me steer back towards responsible waters with my taxes and I am actually looking forward to it. So this is more than a review really. He deserves a big-huge thank you. Thanks Steve!

First time working with an accountant for tax returns as this year was quite complicated with job changes, rental property, etc. Steve was easy to work with, responsive, and helpful with my specific questions. Also was easy to work remotely with even though I am across the country! Highly recommend.

Thank you Porter for the kind comments, most appreciated.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
When I provide a quote under this scenario I always ask myself, would I pay the quoted fee? That's how I base my pricing. Wouldn't ask someone to pay something I wouldn't be willing to pay.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Ask a lot of questions and listen to what the person is saying. Determine what the goals are then determine what is the most effective way to accomplish that.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an enrolled agent authorized to practice before the IRS. Rigorous continuing education requirement required each year and I commit myself to far exceed what is required each year. Never to old to learn something new in any aspect of life.
