Client Reviews of Patricia L. Lacombe, CPA

I do admit this CPA did GOOD WORK preparing our business and personal taxes. However, she was not good at answering our questions during the time we worked with her from 2010 to 2014. Just today I was just going through old emails and communication notes and was surprised to be reminded how many times we had to keep persisting for a response from her. Sometimes we got an answer weeks later. Sometimes never at all. In fact, while preparing our 2014 taxes this past January 2015, there were three specific questions we needed answered concerning my transition to full-time self-employed and the impact of new laws that might effect us because of a small healthcare coverage lapse during the jump. This was completely new territory for us and things we needed to understand before we could continue. We reached out again several times by email and phone until we were up against our deadline to file. We never got a response back. I can only guess this meant we were just too small a client to matter. We had no choice but to go with local competitor tax adviser to get things done. It was a good choice and the new CPA always gets a great response back to us within a day or two. I have never built a company before now. I don't know how to navigate tax laws. However, I do know I would prefer to work with someone who is a resource and able to guide into the future.
