  Terrible company!!! Used them for years but since have been put on the back burner due to heavy overload of clients. Told that services would cost double now. If you are searching for a company that cares about people rather than numbers this isn’t the place for you!! In response to your response. I called into your office well over a month ago and had been told that your company has no record of me as a client. Which became highly concerning to me considering that your company has all of my personal records from my family. Tell yourself whatever it is that you and company wants to but the truth is that your company just doesn’t want to help those who are in a jam and the work load would become difficult. Plan and simple if I had known how difficult this company would have been to deal with through the years I never would have used them. I was referred to this company by John Barry who had since retired. That company was great!! Wish there was a company like his still out there his

  Hey there Nathan. You are terribly incorrect. You showed up at our office on April 14 asking for us to prepare your 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 tax returns. You have not used us for the past 5 years. We kindly said that we were not interested at this moment. We have plenty of bandwidth for fiscally responsible and collaborative clients who appreciate a healthy business relationship (and tax filing deadlines). We wish you and your Colorado Springs Nature's Best Custom landscaping business the very best in the future.

  I am not in the habit of leaving bad reviews, but my experience here has been so atrocious that I think other people should be aware before deciding to engage with this firm. For background, I don't know enough about taxes to feel comfortable doing my own, especially for a business, but I do know a little bit and that is how I have found these errors. I used Watson for 3 years and during that time, this is a sampling of the errors that I have caught. Who only knows what other more technical errors escaped my notice. 1) I gave them information about how much I had paid in interest on my business loan, and my quickbooks showed how much I paid total. I had been making extra payments on my loan that totaled 20,000 for the year. They put that extra 20,000 as interest payments instead of principal, which would have been problematic when I went to sell my business the following year because it would have shown less in profit. 2) I bought a new business and my state charges property taxes on business assets. The old owner was paying taxes on $100,000 of declared assets. Per my asset purchase agreement, my basis in the equipment was $20,000. I asked Watson to fill out my declaration and they just copied over the $100,000 from the old owner's form. If I had not caught this mistake it would have cost me more than $2,000 PER YEAR, EVERY YEAR. 3) On the same property tax form, you are assessed based on the supplies you use in one MONTH, they listed the total for the YEAR. I am still working the with town tax office to have that amended because I did not catch before filing. 4) When I asked them about filing for ERTC, they wanted a significant amount of money up front to determine eligibility (fair enough) but then they also wanted 10% of any refund received. I do not think this is an acceptable way to do business. 5) I asked for tax projections around on 10/28. I did not receive any information back until 12/28, at which point I was told I would have a very large tax bill (lets call it X dollars). Ok, not the accountant's fault, the numbers are what they are. I sold a significant amount of stock to pay for the tax bill. Then my return is actually filed and I get a sizeable refund (1/2 of X). Which normally would be nice, but I sold stock to overpay on my tax liability, so now not only do I owe short term capital gains on what I sold, I also lost out on a very good position on the stock that I had to liquidate. Throw in your run of the mill errors in billing, being misquoted for things, and delays and you have a pretty good summary of my experience with them. I used them because they came highly recommended by someone I know and the website makes it seem like they are a highly knowledgeable team, but my experience has been very different. I would proceed with caution before trusting them with your taxes, especially if you are like most people and blindly trust what your accountant tells you.

  Thanks Sidra. We are sorry to have disappointed you. We dug into this further with our Tax Partner, and your statements below don't represent your emails and other workpapers. While we leave room for making mistakes, and working with you to resolve them, we don't readily agree with your assertions. As far as ERC, you might not be familiar with the accounting industry and its standard pricing for tax credits which is 10% of the credit received. We would encourage you to shop around and ask about R&D tax credits and similar business credits; you'll find that 10% is normal (some people were charging 15% to 20% of the ERC which is highway robbery). Again, thanks for taking time to express your frustration and disappointment. We which you the best of luck!
