I found Donna through Angie's List and have been coming back to her year after year since. The process could not be easier. Donna is efficient, thorough and keeps all communications timely. She is pleasant and very helpful. The first time I met her we had a good consultation that made me feel at ease. Every year I get a note a few months prior to tax preparation timeline to remind me of the items I should gather. Once I have everything ready the process is a breeze to the point that I actually enjoy doing my taxes!!

Donna is great to work with, bright, knowledgeable, and professional. She is available throughout the year for my questions and has taught me much about how taxes are done and about what documentation I need to hold. We meet her once a year and her cost has always been well worth the work she has done for us. I highly recommend her as a tax accountant!

Donna is highly knowledgeable in areas of tax preparation. (She also functions as a financial planner, but I have not worked with her in this capacity.) I have gone to her annually (for about 8 years now) to have my taxes done and she consistently has provided accurate, honest work. She looks to make client's aware of and have access to any deductions to which they are legally entitled. She is both professional and personable. It is refreshing to work with someone so competent and responsible, who also has a good heart.

If you are seeking someone who can be confidently trusted with your tax preparation needs, Donna is the one you are looking for. This is the second year in a row using Donna's services. The great thing about working with her is that in addition to her years of experience, she takes the pain out of the process of doing your taxes. Rather then walk into an H&R Block or Liberty Tax place where they'll treat you more like a number than a person, recommend choosing Donna J. Perrone, EA. who will warmly treat you the welcoming way you deserve. She'll answer all your questions and is one of the few people left in this busy world who will pick up the phone when you call. Working with Donna makes you feel like she has your best interests in mind at all times. Look no further than this review. At the very least, giver her a call and talk to her yourself to get information related to your needs. She will almost always answer the phone. Leaving out the $ below because pricing is subject to your individual needs, so if you want to know more just pick up the phone.

I've either done my own taxes or used "those green folks" for many years - since purchasing our house, actually. In 2015 I started working from home full-time for Boston-based company, and decided I should find someone who could help me more than I could help myself. Donna Perrone is fantastic - she answered the phone when I called, returned it within the timeframe she said, discussed my situation and then we set an appointment for me to go in. She told me everything I should find to bring with me. She was very understanding when traffic made me late, and her instructions on what I should bring were so specific that we were able to get through everything in less than the amount of time she had planned for me, despite the traffic snafu. Donna gave me specific instruction on how to fix some stock listings that were incorrect or missing information, as well as examples of how to track donations better. For the first time in over a decade, I'm not writing a big, fat check to the federal government, although I did still owe the state - and for that she was able to tell me exactly how much my husband and I should change in terms of withholding in order to remedy that. She was quick, thorough, extremely personable, very professional, and more helpful than I could have hoped for. I will be using her services every year from now on as I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience.

Donna is extremely knowledgeable, well organized, and highly responsive.  She made our tax filing process simple and straightforward.  I was highly impressed with her passion for her trade, which was evident by the impressive amount of continuing education she completes each year to stay up to date on the latest tax laws.

Donna Perrone did an excellent job of filing my 2015 taxes for me! I had moved last year from the south to CT and wanted to make sure they were filed correctly, as well as my special needs daughter's taxes with her trust funds. Donna was able to take care of this so efficiently with such a friendly and professional manner.  She is extremely knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her!

decided to seek professional tax counseling.
Appreciatively ? Donna Perrone, EA? quickly alleviated my

Ms Perrone performed a thorough analysis of our potential 2015 state and federal tax liability due to the fact that our incomes had changed substantially this year. She recommended specific withholding and 401(k) adjustments for us to undertake immediately. She also made tax recommendations in other areas for 2016. We met in her home office and never felt rushed. She was pleasant and extremely helpful throughout. We would definitely use her services again.

We just moved to Connecticut and needed help to file our taxes from 2 states, deduct moving costs, and home office expenses. I didn't know anyone in the area so I joined Angie's List, and found Donna through other reviews on this site. Donna was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. She answered all our questions, provided guidance, and completed our 2 state and federal tax returns quickly. She was very easy to communicate with and answered emails promptly. The cost was very reasonable. I recommend Donna to anyone looking for professional tax preparation service in the greater New Haven area.

Donna Perrone was the consummate professional while possessing a terrific grace and non-threatening approach.  She explained everything she did and how she arrived at the final figures.  Both my wife and I agreed that using Donna Perrone was the best accounting experience we'd ever had and we will continue to use her services.  The taxes were completed in 24 hours, the fee was beyond fair, and everything was clear.  Donna Perrone is the best accountant we've ever used...there is no need to look at anyone else.

Her pay schedule is based on the forms completed. I have never gone to a tax prep service before, so I can't say how her pricing compares to others. I moved from out of state (2 state returns), sold a house in my former state, had a child, had stock sales. Not terribly complex, but I wanted to make sure everything was done correctly because of the house sale.

Donna helped us last year to adjust our withholding correctly for a change in income and moving to CT, and this helped a lot (our withholding turned out almost exactly correct). She charged by the hour for that, and did a great job of talking us through that.
This spring, she put together our tax returns for Federal and two states. Again, this was done efficiently and she asked us about the few potentially problematic issues to sort them out. We had an unusual mortgage situation, as well as the move between states, and this was no problem. She explained potential issues well, but didn't waste our time with over-the-top detail. At the end, she filed the returns and gave us a very organized packet describing what we needed to do for payment. She also had a contract for her services that explained her pay structure and responsibilities; this was also quite clear.
We recommend her services whole-heartedly.

Donna is wonderful person to work with. She treats you with the utmost respect and professionalism. The process is always so simple - I email over my tax information and supporting documents, Donna works her magic, and within a week or 2 she has everything done! I setup a meeting, go into her office and she deciphers the tax documents in a very easy to understand manner.
