You might initially be concerned about meeting a stranger at Panera and giving them every personal piece of information about you. However, this transaction was great! Everything followed the process as stated from the quick review time to a good amount of correspondence. I had my return done sooner than expected, got all of my documents back, got some good advice for next year, and it was over. I have no reason to look for another tax preparer. If you have questions about tax strategies, side hustles or other financial goals, you will be happy to work with Tom. Thanks for dealing with my last minute taxes!

Tom provided excellent service on our tax returns! This was our first year in Ohio and we were new to state income tax and city income tax. He was extremely patient with our questions and we never felt rushed. He was extremely responsive anytime we had questions and in completing our returns. I would recommend his service, hands down!

Tom was great to work with and did great in answering all my questions and reaching out for advice on things he wasn't as familiar with. I think a better system for handling documents online would benefit his service but we still worked through things efficiently and effectively.

It was very easy to set up an appointment with Tom. I liked the fact that he was willing to travel to my area to meet. He was prompt, genial, and listened carefully to my needs. He reviewed my information carefully and made helpful suggestions to assist me in getting all the deductions I was eligible for. Throughout the process, Tom was easy to reach via text and replied quickly to any questions or requests I had. Tom's fee was very reasonable and he filed my returns in a timely manner. I look forward to working with him again next year. Finally, I appreciate the fact that Tom is a veteran. I believe it is important to support those who have served our country.

Just took a chance going with Tom... saw him here on Thumbtack and read his reviews. Sometimes you get lucky. Professional but, oh so human. Explains things thoroughly with a casual, easy demeanor.

Tom was generally on-time for meetings and did get my Federal and State forms filed earlier than he estimated, but my only negative with him was with the Local taxes...never got them!! First he says he forgot to bring them to meeting and he will mail them...they dont come....several days go by he says he has problem with county web site (wait!! i thought they were done and just needed to be mailed??) ....several more days go by he says he'll email...they dont come...finally get an email that he will send on certain date....they dont come.....ended up doing my Local taxes myself even after I paid in full.

Anna S.

Individual Tax Preparation

Was extremely friendly and easy to get in touch with until we met the final time. Came almost 30min late due to meeting with another client which was fine but I would have liked some notice. However, he told me almost a month and half ago I would have my local taxes and have yet to receive them and has had very little communication with me or given any kind of explanation. He even already charged me.

I love that Tom is a nontraditional tax preparer. He really takes the time to listen, talk, make jokes, and most importantly, answer any questions that I've had regarding the process of getting a return prepared. It makes the whole process a lot less painful when you're dealing with someone as personable as Tom is.
