We spoke over the phone. I made an appointment that morning. There was one phone call to answer a couple of questions, By 5 pm the next day, my taxes were finished and sent electronically. I was pleasantly surprised with the bottom line. Thanks, Steve

Steve is very responsive and does a quick turn around. He is also more than happy to answer any tax questions during the tax year. We are very happy with his services and his price is very reasonable.

Great. Taxes were accurately prepared in a timely manner. We are going back next year. It doesn't get better than that.

I Found Steve Crisler on Yelp when I was searching for someone to do my 2016 taxes. He had excellent reviews and now that I have met him I can see why. He was very professional, punctual, reachable, and priced reasonably. I will without a doubt use his tax services again next year and refer him to friends, coworkers, and family. Filing this year was more complex for me however Steve was able to explain and complete the filing process quickly and efficiently. What a great find!

Steve was responsive from the beginning, calling me back quickly to explain things and set up a meeting for QB training. He explains things in terms I can understand and is patient when I just don't get it. As he is working on my taxes now he is extremely accessible through email/phone. He's friendly and great to work with. Highly recommend.

This is the 2nd year I've had Steve do my taxes, as they became too complicated for me from an inheritance.  I tend to get high anxiety over taxes anyway, and keep putting it the back burner and procrastinate.  He gave me a nice gentle reminder this year, got me an extension in about 5 minutes.  This allowed me to relax enough to get papers in order and filed on time, since I was unsure if I owed or not.
Last year he took a huge pile of paper work and made sense of it all in a short time and I'm sure saved me a lot of $$  This year he got me a very very nice refund :-) in about 24 hours after I dropped off paperwork.
He's always quick to respond to emails, always so very nice and reassuring, it's like a huge weight is off my shoulders.
I really cannot thank him enough.
I highly recommend his services

I chose Crisler's accounting to complete my 2015 tax's due to some previous CPA's incompetence and/or high costs. I've had previous issues with preparers omitting information, which he said he didn't see, and got me in a little trouble with the IRS, so I was a little skeptical going in to this preparation. However, Crisler's accounting did an exceptional job with completing my tax's accurately and on time. Their costs were reasonable with exceptional quality. I highly recommend Crisler's accounting service.

I am using Steve's service to file my tax returns since 2011 and he is the best. He has awesome understanding of complex tax filings and is wonderful person. He is very quick and punctual in getting back to you. I greatly recommend Steve's service for your tax returns.

The only good thing about tax season - Steve.  Seriously... Steve has totally saved me with providing me excellent accounting services!  Steve is always immediately responsive, he is so knowledgeable in his field that his turn around time in completing my tax returns was amazing!  I've had bad experiences in the past and it has made it truly difficult for me to trust anyone... Steve is a true find.  He is trustworthy, caring, honest, and provides the best results.  I fully intend to have Steve do my accounting every year.  Amazing!

For the three years that I've been in Law School and too busy to do my own personal income taxes, I have had the peace of mind of knowing that they were in Steve's capable hands.  He has handled everything professionally and efficiently with a minimum of back-and-forth, yet enough communication that I was never left wondering where things stood.  Highly recommended.

Seamless!  I've worked with Steve for many years now.  I email him my company file and any information he requests and in return I get an invoice and all the tax forms completed and filed.

Steve helped untangle a mess of tax problems from past years returns
that were critical errors from previous accountants.  I've been trying
to resolve this mess for several years, and Steve was the only
accountant that was knowledgeable enough and responsive enough to get me
out from under it.  It is challenging enough to find someone you trust
with your personal information, and I would highly recommend Steve in
all aspects of professionalism, responsiveness and knowledge of such a
difficult tax issue as was mine.

Unfortunately, I feel that it is very hard to come across people you can trust and count on to have your best interest at heart.  Ever since I started working with Steve, I haven't looked back since.  Steve is a class act as far as how he runs his business. 

As far as my personal experience working with Steve, he has been very thorough when keeping up with my books and tax forms.  He will take that extra step to go through everything with a fine tooth comb to make sure everything is on point.  He has made suggestions along the way to help me save as much money as possible.  Steve will return your phone calls and emails promptly and keep on top of things when it comes time to doing your tax return. 

Having Steve on my team has definitely made it easier for me to sleep at night with all the stresses that come along with running a business.  I couldn't imagine working with any other accountant.

It went very well.  I've known Steve Crisler for 10 years and he is great!  I can always count on his professionalism and looking out

for the best interest of myself and the business.  When I have questions, Steve is easy to get in touch with and always gets back to

me in a timely manner.  If I need help with something outside of his expertise, Steve will refer others who can address the situation.

I value his opinion very much.

Due to an inheritance, my taxes were complicated this year.  Turbo Tax was not going to cut it.  It was causing me great anxiety and I procrastinated.  At our meeting, Steve was very reassuring and it felt like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.  One of his reviews stated that he was able to take a pile of paperwork and make sense of it, and I found this to be true.  My inheritance involved cash, stocks, mutual funds and IRA disbursements which I found very confusing.  He made sense of it all, and saved me a great deal of money.  Well worth the cost of service, and he had my taxes done in just about 24 hours.  We were able to conclude them via email and e-filing.
I would highly recommend his services and would absolutely use him again.  Very, very pleased and impressed

This was the first time in 32 years that I had to file my own taxes (recently divorced), so I decided to get help. Steve made the whole process very easy and he made sure I was kept informed of timelines by email. The best part was the tax refund! My last tax preparer, (my ex) never mentioned or shared any refunds! Live and learn. Thanks again, Steve!
