This accountant was awful...Where do I start.\r
\r
I expect to wait at an accountant's office for a tax filing but while I was there I watched people being escorted ahead of me for ""questions"" for Bill Stearnes that lasted hours. I had a 9 o clock am appt and a 1 o clock pm flight. Since I wasn't seen until 11:30 I was late for my flight. This happened two years in a row.\r
\r
Then our taxes were messed up BADLY. My husband is FLE and we own two houses, one is a rental - he didn't file our rental income from our renters - a HUGE aspect of taxes that changed our refund by thousands of dollars which we mentioned several times while filing. He rushed through them so badly that he submitted them with numerous aspects that were very incorrect. \r
\r
We were buying a home and the lender noticed other problems - he put my husband's business expenses under ""entertainment"" and the underwriter needed a letter of amendment from Bill. We cpunted 16 calls made to the office before they finally sent it after he promised numerous times he would get to it ""by the end of the business day.""\r
\r
We have other bad stories including FLE writeoffs that are wildly exaggerated by Bill and scared us into thinking we were cheating taxes. \r
\r
The other accountant who did our taxes was very thorough and we had no issues with him but Bill Stearnes acts as if he couldn't care less. \r

Do not use this place for your taxes!! For people whose jobs are to communicate between you and the government, their worst quality is communication. \r
