My wife and I have gone to Kent for assistance with our tax returns for the last two years, and we plan to go to him again next year. He responds quickly, keeps things simple, and does great work at a reasonable price.

He is the best
We were recommended Kent Rackett/Esquire by a family friend and have been working with him for 2+ tax seasons now. He is extremely punctual and helpful when it comes to filing taxes. We plan to continue working with him year after year. Thanks Kent!
A friend recommended Esquire Tax Solutions and Kent Rackett to me a few years ago, and I’ve been using them ever since. Kent is consistently accurate, efficient, and easy to work with. In the past, I handled my taxes myself, but hiring Kent has been well worth the cost. He makes the process straightforward and saves me a significant amount of time and stress. While paying taxes is never fun, having Kent handle the preparation has made the entire experience much easier and far less stressful.
Once again, I used Esquire tax solutions for my personal returns. Fast and responsive. Very satisfied.
I appreciate your note and look forward to working with you!
I have used Kent the last two years. He is extremely fast and accurate in getting my tax returns filled out and submitted. Very reasonable cost for what he does! Would highly recommend.
Fantastic and helpful all throughout tax season for the past two years! I was previously referred by a friend, and since then Mr. Rackett has become my family's go-to tax professional.
Scheduled a phone call with Kent and it seemed like the conversation went really well. I was looking forward to working with him but he never sent me further information and details for filing out taxes for 2025 as he promised (quote: "will send you the email when I am in the office tonight") and he never sent me anything since last Friday (it's Wednesday now). I am not entirely sure what caused this unprofessional behavior, but I would look somewhere else for someone more reliable.
I have been working with Kent for many years, and I can say without hesitation that his support has been exceptional. I originally came to him with a complex, long-standing tax issue that felt overwhelming and impossible to resolve. From the very first conversation, he took the time to listen carefully, explain my options in clear language, and lay out a realistic plan to move forward. Throughout the years, Kent has been consistently responsive, patient, and meticulous. He keeps us informed on progress and anticipate questions and concerns before we ask and makes sure we understood the implications of each decision and our options. What was a very stressful process for us has been handled with calm, expertise, and genuine care by Kent. Thanks to his guidance, our situation with the IRS has moved toward a positive resolution, and I now feel far more secure, at ease and we can sleep better. My husband and I trust Kent completely and recommend his services to anyone facing tax questions or more complicated matters. It is rare to find this combination of technical skill, professionalism, and humanity in one person.
Kent took the time to talk to me and give advice even though I do not actually need to file taxes right now. I will certainly hire him when I do.
