I have worked with John for a few years now, and he was great in helping me sort out an issue with my 2018 and 2019 returns. Because of the great work he did, I continued to work with him for 2020, 2021, and 2022 and even referred a few friends. 2023 was a different story. I filled out his financial organizer form, uploaded this and other documents to DropBox, and sent John an email confirming this on 2/21/2024. He responded promptly, as he typically does, and I confirmed all my documents have been uploaded. I explained my tax situation was a little different this year and I likely owed money. I continued to follow up with John over the next few weeks with little to no responses. I followed up on 2/26/2024 to confirm he has all the documents he needed, he said he will get back to me in 4-5 business days. I followed up on 3/11/2024, he responded that he needs to finish S-Corp taxes and will get to mine after. I followed up again on 4/1/2024, and I indicated that since I definitely owe money, I wanted to have enough time to pay what is due. My last email to John was on April 10 where I directly asked if he will still be able to help me with this year's taxes. I wrote that I understand if the situation has changed, but I would need to find alternative ways to file if that were the case. I understand that things happen and John may have taken on too many clients this year. As a client that has been with John for a few years, acknowledgement that he will not be able to help me file, or really any communication at all, would have been appreciated. I write this on April 14, one day before the due date, and John has not responded to my latest inquiry. As I said before, John's work is accurate efficient, however the service and communication is lacking.
Filing with John Ro was super fast and detailed. The cost was fair and when I had questions on my taxes he was very helpful in explaining them to me. I'm glad I found him for this years filing because I surely would have messed it up if I did my own this time. Highly recommend.
John is straight forward and his response time are quick. What I appreciate the most is that he's able to meet me on my level of understanding. My brain works a little differently when it comes to preparing taxes and I'm not very advanced when it comes to using tools like Dropbox , but he's always patient with me and helps me figure it out. He's helped me with a multitude of things since I opened my own business. I highly recommend.
