Well, did most of it through email.

We want to thank the people at Accel for preparing our difficult tax returns for 2015 and several previous years. The returns invoked income from a variety of sources, including rental property in another state. The work was performed accurately, quickly, and at a reasonable price. A good job all around.

I used Mark Neath at Accel for my tax returns. Well, he made a large error that resulted in a $22,978 over payment of federal tax and $3,600 in state. Yes, over $26,000 tax paid in error.
What's worse, I found the error. Then after I pointed out the error, he still didn't see the over payment of tax. (The error was a double tax payment of an IRA rollover.)
Mark's comment after I asked about the error:
"No, you definitely paid tax only once." August 11, 2014
"...my software has been treating it (incorrectly) as a tax-free rollover..." August 11, 2014
After another email pointing out the error in even more detail, I finally got him to see the mistake.
Mark wrote: "Crap. You?re right. Good catch. I don?t know how that happened..."
He also wrote "I can?t believe I didn?t catch that. Too trusting of the computer I guess. It definitely seems to be a bug in our tax software..."
After the amended return was filed, it took 14 months to get my money back from the IRS. When I asked Accel for a refund, Mark replied:
"I?m sorry this was such a hassle for you, but it?s not reasonable to refund the tax prep fees."
Mark also wrote:
"At the end of the day, you are responsible for reviewing the return and ensuring its accuracy before filing."

I never received an apology or a refund from Accel for the error. Instead, I was reminded that I was responsible.

"I'm sorry for the mishap, but as I explained to you, this was an error that did not cost you anything (IRS even paid you interest on the refund). It's quite unreasonable to expect a double benefit of a refund of tax preparation fees when we prepared an amended return at no charge to correct the mistake--something that few other tax professionals would have done given that the error was not due to our tax advice or interpretation of the tax laws. At the end of the day, a taxpayer is responsible for reviewing his or her tax returns before filing and then notifying us of any reporting errors so that we can correct them before filing. Thankfully, such errors are extremely rare, but they can occur since only the taxpayer knows all of the facts of what transpired in a given transaction. When a reporting error occurs and comes to our attention, we go out of our way to speedily correct it, which we did in this case by preparing an amended tax return at no cost to you. Again, I apologize for the mistake and regret that you feel you are owed more than the service we provided. I'm thankful that IRS has agreed with our amended return and refunded you the overpayment with interest. I apologize for any inconvenience this caused you."

He had an office of his own. He was not only an accountant but also a tax attorney which was a very nice feature. We have several businesses and our taxes are fairly complicated. He was very knowledgeable. He did all of our taxes in about two weeks. He was very prompt. I will continue to use him.

The tax partner I worked with was easily able to identify the problem. He provided me with revised tax filings within the time he said he would. Thanks to him being able to rectify the problem, I only owed the federal government an additional $2 versus the $3,000+ dollars the IRS was claiming I owed. I will use them going forward as I felt they understand the intricacies of tax law and are experienced, professional and timely.

Extremely well. We had some time sensitive issues and Mark really really came thru for us. Mark is our tax and accounting guy now. We are going to have him review our business books with the idea of moving our business accounting to him as well.

For 28 years, I have used a tax firm that grew from a small, boutique, local firm into a large national accounting firm through various mergers/acquisitions. The personalized servces to which I had grown so accustomed had gradually disappeared, and I hadbecome a very small fish in a large corporate pond. Having been made aware of mark Neath and Accel, I asked him to review our joint personal 2010 return which had been prepared by this large national firm. Mark found a major omission and we filed an amended return, which resulted in a refund of about $2,000 in overpayments, both state and federal.
Last week I gave him year to date income/expenses and projections of same for the balance of 2010 and asked him to prepare an estimation of what our tax liability might be. He responded the next day with a few questuions, and after clarifying other issues, he gave us an estimate of our state and federal tax liability for 2010...all within 10 days. Mark is accurate, thorough, and professional. I look forward to a continued and expanded relationship with him and Accel.
