Isler CPA

Using this accounting service has been the absolute worst and most stressful experience of my life. I used Isler CPA in 2018 for my first tax return. The only reason I decided to make this review finally in 2020 was because Isler CPA made a mistake in my 2018 return (which my current accountant found), and the IRS has sent me a notice of assessment (in 2020) for 10K because of a mistake Isler CPA caused 2 years ago. This accounting mistake has nearly cost me 10K.nnWith that being said, this is a summary of my horrendous experience with Isler CPA during the 2018 business tax year:nn1) Isler CPA never told me anything about what was happening. When I was doing my payroll, they literally sent me payroll checks/pay stubs/forms with absolutely no explanation at all. This happened time and time again.nn2) When I would call or email my accountant, I would get CHARGED for this. A simple email or phone call costs you money! Because of this, I was forced to pay for things even though I wouldn't understand them because I didn't want to be charged for asking. So ridiculous that Isler CPA charges for asking questions (my current accountant does not and welcomes questions and phone calls)nn3) Isler CPA overcharges you tremendously compared to other accounting firms. My current accountant charged me 1.5K to file my personal and business tax return. On the other hand, Isler CPA wanted to charge me 5K+. Completely absurd. There are many cheaper and higher quality options out there.nn4) Isler CPA made numerous mistakes during my time with them. During my entire time with this service, it never felt like I was treated like an actual client that they cared about. I was always given zero attention and help with anything. Emails took days to get back to me. Accountant was never available to speak.nnWhen I left Isler CPA, my accountant told me that a lot of the clients that leave come back. Leaving Isler CPA was the best move I ever did.nnFor anyone considering Isler CPA, just know that an accountant is supposed to make your life EASIER. During my entire experience with Isler CPA, it was the complete opposite and I was so stressed.

Joseph Lewis is an accounting ninja. I thought I was doing a good job using tax software to capture all the deductions for my small business, but he helped me see there are additional strategies to save even more. We just finished our first year with Joseph as our accountant and he saved us multiple thousands of dollars (and that's after his fees!). I highly recommend Joseph and Isler CPA!

Isler CPA was very thorough and professional in preparing my taxes. Thank you!
