About - Ted Weber CPA

Overall Feedback:

I'm not sure how these guys are still in business. They charge too much and their bedside manner is just awful.I started a business and made an appointment to discuss related business tax issues. The appointment i made was with Ted, but some other lady held the meeting with me. She started deferring questions about business taxes to Ted, saying "Ted would need to answer that particular question" and mentioned that she's NEVER dealt with business taxes before. When I got the bill, I very politely challenged this charge for obvious reasons and the lady became extremely defensive. She also mentioned that the charge had been "discounted" from her usual hourly rate, which apparently was true. But I had zero confidence in anything she said during that meeting. She was incredibly defensive and uncooperative and I was just wanted off the phone with her so I agreed to pay the charges. Strangely, that's when she agreed to remove the charge.Additional note: her hourly rate was exactly the same as TedsSo i paid and we will just finder a more reasonable priced cpa who does not hire people with attitudesshouldn"t be hard to find.EDIT AFTER OWNER'S RESPONSE: Here's the order of events: we had an hour long meeting (not an hour and a half). She charged half of her usual hourly fee. I politely contested that discounted fee as she admitted it was not her area of expertise. She was way more defensive than should have been normal. I gave up the fight and said, "it isn't worth it. Just leave the charges." That's when she did indeed agree to remove the charges. Anyway, the owner is going to dispute this story as much as she disputed it over the phone. But it's really simple. They charge too much. They have a terrible bedside manner. And it's just too easy to find a cheaper, five star CPA that is really nice and knows what they're doing (as I have already done and i encourage everyone to do).Also, it's worth noting that I had already prepared the taxes to begin with. We simply asked for them to review the taxes and you wouldn't believe what they charge. I mean.... I might as well just warn everyone. The fee we were asked to pay was about $400. And this did not include schedule C as I only started my business this year.I'm sorry that the owner is confused why we were "polite in person" but not in this review. But I feel that this review is polite and it honestly gives the owner some much needed feedback. I would consider this free business advice and seriously work on your customer service.
