I was sent a CP2000series tax bill from the IRS that had incorrectly assessed an increase in my taxes owed. I called Larry and he promptly re-filed my taxes, saving me thousands of dollars. My recommendation is, "Call Larry"!

Larry is an incompetent accountant. He screwed up our tax return three times! My husband would have to point out the errors and then Larry would correct them. This took three times to get the correct return. . We never received our final tax return and he did not file our tax return for our state tax. And he charged us a lot of money, considering my husband had to point out all the corrections to him. Do not use Larry!

After moving to TX from NYC I needed to find a local CPA to do our taxes. Larry and Lisa have been so helpful with our taxes for several years now, really grateful I found them. I'll keep going to them as long as they're in the area.

Larry Bradford has been my CPA for my small business and handles my personal accounting work for over two decades. He is prompt. He is patient as he answers our multitude of questions. He gives great advice on how to structure certain assets. And of equal importance to his high skill set and knowledge, he answers the phone when I call and does not pass me around to multiple people in his office. HIGHLY recommend.

Larry is so wonderful to work with. His fees are very reasonable, he is great with communication, he will tell you everything you need to know and how to find ways to save, he is honest with his estimates (I have never been "surprised" when my returns were ready). He helps you plan in advance. And, his wife Lisa will always reply on his behalf if needed. In other words, they take really good care of you!
