Surfside Tax & Accounting

Christine was honest and gave me a lower price than she usually charges but I still thought it was higher than I would have liked. I prefer to do my own taxes, however I sold one house and bought another so I needed a professional this year.

Christine at Surfside was great. She went through all of my records and helped make sense of my return. She developed an amended return and got everything in order. Easy to work with, laid back attitude, solid accounting. Will use again.

She was very personable yet professional

Christine is the consummate professional! Working with her is more like sitting down with a friend than sitting down with your accountant. She is thorough, timely, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. My wife and I recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for a VERY good accountant.

Christine was super helpful and professional and asked me many questions to try and find me as many deductions as possible. Her rates are very reasonable.

We have been going to Christine for several years. She is very professional and detailed. She has answered all of our questions during the appointment and throughout the year. She is very flexible with hours and makes taxes preparation less stresfful.

Best accountant I have ever had the pleasure of working with - Christine was pleasant, very generous with her time, very thorough and explained her process very well. I look forward to a long relationship with this very professional woman!!

Our first meeting surpassed our expectations! Christine Delmar greeted us and made us feel at ease. She went through our paperwork and by the time we left her office, we had a much clearer idea of how to proceed with our new business.

Christine is extremely knowledgeable and has many years of tax filing experience. She makes you fill confident the returns will be filled out correctly. She spent over 2 hours reviewing my files and is a pleasure to work with. She makes doing your taxes easy and she is professional and personable. She enjoys what she does and it shows. I enjoyed working with her and she will be doing my taxes every year.

Christine is knowledgable, professional and punctual.  She is an honest and trustworthy accountant who knows her business and will do the best possible job for her clients.  In addition to her professional demeanor, she is personable and makes an effort to make her clients feel comfortable.

She is responsive to questions and will follow up to make sure that issues are resolved.  Overall, we are extremely pleased with Christine and will definitely use her services again.

Do contact the office with your work,. I recommend them 100%. We will use them for 2016 also.

Don't hesitate, they are very professional, knowledgeable, thorough and helpful. They take the worry out of TAX TIME.

We moved to NJ in 2015 so I searched Angie's List for an Accountant.  I found Christine's information and gave her a call.  She answered the phone right away.  We talked for a little while so she could get to know me.  I scheduled an appointment for a few days later.  Christine was ready and waiting for me when I arrived at her office.  We went through all of the documents and she entered the information in her system while I was there.  Having moved from another state, Christine had no problem filling out that state tax form.  Christine is very knowledgeable and professional.  We will continue to use her in the future.

Met her initially in her office where she prepared the forms pretty much completely while I was there so when I left I had a good idea of what I was going to get back/owe. Christine provided excellent tax advice to remedy an issue we had last year with another accountant. She is very professional, knowledgable, and personable. She also made it clear that she is available throughout the year for any tax questions or issues I will be recomending her to my friends and coming back next year.

Christine is a great resource and I would recommend her to any small business looking for tax or accounting advice, or for the preparation of tax returns. She is very prompt and responsive, but most importantly, knowledgeable about the issues facing small businesses and the interplay between those issues and the personal tax returns of the small business owner.

Christine was ready for us right when we walked in. She got to know about our past tax history before even looking at the 2015 paperwork. She wanted to get to know us before getting to all of the tax stuff. Questions were asked to see where the tax write offs could be optimized. It was extremely helpful to receive a summary sheet that provided all of the information that was needed to complete our taxes. We know what we need to give Christine and plan to have a continued smooth process until the taxes are complete.

Christine was extremely professional.  When I initially called to set up an appointment, she asked me questions pertaining to our finances, jobs, sales of our homes, and anything necessary to estimating the cost of our taxes.  Since my wife and I work during the day, she was able to accommodate us and make an evening appointment (which was very helpful).  She told me all of the documents that my wife and I needed to bring with us to facilitate the process.
Upon arriving, Christine was very friendly and personable.  We discussed our professions and our love of dogs.  We gave her all of our documents and went over each one individually.  She also looked at our previous taxes prepared by H&R Block and found a few errors and mistakes that they had made.  We felt better knowing that our taxes were not being prepared by someone hired with minimum training for tax season.
Christine explained several things to us regarding the sales of our homes.  She also explained to us how we should document our donations to charities in the future to maximize our tax deductions.  
We spent approximately 90 minutes in her office and we felt Christine was very meticulous and thorough regarding our tax preparation.  We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to prepare their taxes.

Christine was wonderful and completely professional and knowledgeable in preparing our taxes. We recently moved to our present home and was at a complete loss as to who we should hire to prepare our taxes. We called Christine who personally answered the phone. She immediately put us completely at ease from beginning to end over what is usually a very stressful yearly chore. Thank you Angie's List for providing the information and reviews we needed to make an informed decision in choosing a tax preparation
professional. Thank you, Christine! We will see you again next year!

Christine made suggestions about what we might do differently in the coming year as far as family financial arrangements that might work well for us a year from now. She made a list of a few items that she needed that we could send her. She gave us ballpark figures of what we would probably owe or be refunded from state and federal returns. She was also very personable and took well over an hour with us. We'll be back.

Christine answered all of our questions and went through all of our paperwork. She did a great job with our taxes.

I contacted Christine after reading reviews on Angie's list. She was very accommodating in scheduling appointment to do taxes. She answered all of our questions with ease and explained the process in detail. Christine provided advice on how to maximize our deductions. She also provided information on my son's tax status. I felt confident with the final outcome. Thank you Christine for being so personable and making this experience an enjoyable one.

I met Christine for our scheduled meeting at 6:45PM.  She was waiting for me and even offered me a slice of her pizza for dinner. We had three sets of tax documents to cull through and Christine made short work of them.  
Unlike other tax accountants I have used, Christine input the key information from my tax forms directly into her program, so she could provide me an immediate estimate of my 2015 tax liability by the end of the evening.  She was very professional and as she worked we talked about the puts and takes of different actions/deductions that could reduce my AGI (adjusted gross income for those unfamiliar).  She even told me what were the key financial events which triggered AMT  (i.e. alternative minimum tax) which was useful for my long term planning.
Christine also provided me some immediate, actionable advise which I could use to reduce my 2016 tax liability.   I will say when it came to claiming charitable contributions she was no push-over and pressed for proper documentation.  I left with a couple of homework items to check on - which I could email her subsequently.  Like most accountants now-a-day, she offers e-filing to accelerate your time-to-cash if eligible for a refund.  Overall I would say it was a pleasant experience - as tax preparation goes.  I would highly recommend Christine's services.

Great - Christine is awesome and is clearly knowledgable and gets the job done. I love that she takes the time to explain to me what steps she was going through and didn't make me feel like I was inferior for not understanding. She was helpful, timely, responsive and efficient. What more could you want?!

I arrived late after getting lost for a bit. She was very patient with my late arrival. She looked over some legal papers and suggested some items to question the attorneys about. We then discussed questions concerning items included in a letter from an attorney. We had a discussion about my finances and she asked excellent questions to gather more info. It was a most pleasant experience in a calm, welcoming environment. I will certainly be using her services in the future.

I knew when I first talked to Christine on the telephone, she was the right person for us.  She simplified what first appeared to be a complicated bookkeeping chore.  She was very thorough and knew exactly what we had to do and not to do.  She probably saved us thousands of dollars in eliminating what we thought were necessary accounting procedures.  After calling other accountants who didn't even have the decency to call us back, I turned to Angie's list and found  Surfside Accounting.  Best thing that happened so far in our process of opening a hair salon.  Can't thank Christine Delmar and Angie's list enough.

I called Christine at Surfside Tax and Accounting after seeing positive reviews for her here on Angie's List.  I asked if she was accepting new clients and she said yes so we set up an appointment.  I was pressed for time as taxes were due in two weeks and I was going back to work out of state.  Christine looked over my information and immediately made a suggestion that saved me a significant amount of money. She finished my tax returns before the 15th and e filed them on time .  I would recommend her for your tax and accounting services.
