Client Reviews of Stephen Barnard, EA

Had been recommended to this man by another tax guy I used for years. Made an appointment to have my taxes done which at this point he couldn’t give me any price details. Once I went to the appointment he took my information and said “ well I will try to get to them in a couple weeks.” To which I was shocked and confused. Why make an appointment three days prior. At this point still won’t give me a price or date to which they will be done. After almost three weeks I called and inquired as to what’s going on. He replies, “ oh actually, I just started them today. So I might be done tomorrow “ when asked how much it will cost still got a run around useless answer. The following day arrives he calls me to say they were done and I can pick them up. While on the phone I asked again how much?? Whom he replies , “ I ah don’t have your info in front of me so I don’t know. When I finally went to pick them up he still didn’t tell me the price. He slides over an invoice for a little over $200 dollars. I am a single non married male who. Works at the same place of business for years. I have no other complexing thing such as investments or additional incomes. So as basic as taxes get. I believe he is gouging his prices when he sees you are goin to get a decent return. Firmly recommend not seeing him for he is very unprofessional and shady. This year I had them done by Hand R block which are on the pricey end of having your taxes done and it only cost $125. Which I was also in and out and done in 30 minutes. So if you want to be screwed use Steve. If you want to save money use almost anyone else
