The first few years we were in business we went through a few accountants, and we weren’t impressed. We had another contractor that referred Custom payroll and accounting to us after we were complaining about past accountants. We started using them for our accounting needs, then soon after used them for our payroll too. By far the best accountants we’ve used. They’ve made our lives so much easier. I would recommend them to everyone. I have recommended them to other contractors and business owners.

I can’t recommend her highly enough. She combines deep expertise in tax law with exceptional communication skills, which is a rare and invaluable combination. Complex issues are explained clearly and patiently, without condescension, and I always feel fully informed and confident in the decisions we’re making. She is proactive, meticulous, and impressively up to date on tax strategy and compliance. Beyond technical mastery, she is responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in her clients’ outcomes. Working with her has removed an enormous amount of stress from what is usually a complicated and anxiety-producing process. She is simply the best and a blessing to our company.

I am not one to leave bad reviews. However, I feel like it needs to be public knowledge how my accounts were handled. For months my account was not touched and I was charged monthly for accounting services. I was able to gain this information with the Quickbooks audit tools. After it was brought to their attention and they apologized, I trusted it wouldn't happen again. Then it did. Our business taxes were filed incorrectly for the two years they did them. My new accountant has had to amend and re-file. Payroll taxes were not done correctly and were grossly overpaid. I learned about Custom from a BNI meeting. Which is terrifying. The service we received was frustrating to say the least, but the fallout of time and money we have spent to have accounts corrected after separating from them has been even worse. The amount of time it has taken us and a new accountant to correct is unforgivable. Please be cautious moving forward with this business and monitor your accounts closely. If you are not financially savvy with business funds, taxes and laws, steer clear and find someone you trust.

Response from the owner · a year ago

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry about the experience that you had with our firm. We fired the bookkeeper that was assigned to your account. You left our service before we had a chance to correct your books and bring them current. We do our best to keep accounts current and accurate despite needing to correct items that clients enter incorrectly.
