Bill Bates CPA LLC

My husband did our taxes for 30 years. Now he is gone and I was overwhelmed with the tought of doing my taxes. I turned to Bill, and he really came through. He was easy to work with and answered messages right away, which is very important to me in this day and age where people take hours or days to answer. He uses an easy to follow software interface that can be easily be logged into with my phone or laptop. Accounting paperwork and I are not friends; so the hard part was gathering and organizing and scanning all of my tax documents into my computer for submitting. Then his software app stepped me through what documents to send and in what order(electronically). Although tedious, it was not hard to do. Click, submit, repeat. Bill relieved the stress I was feeling over taxes this year. Whew. Glad not to have to look at this for a while. Thanks Bill.

As a new small business owners, my wife and I wanted to begin working with a local CPA to navigate our tax situation while also leveraging their knowledge to ensure we were making the best choices with our money. After a satisfactory initial meeting with Bill, we decided to move forward although his pricing was quite high. We created our portal accesses and my wife wanted to ask him some additional questions via email, which was encouraged at our initial meeting, to ensure we understood their practice with filing (paper vs electronic) and pricing with state and federal. We then received notices that our portal access had been terminated when attempting to log in to read the message response. I called his office and was sent to his voicemail. I asked Bill to call and explain. Instead of calling, he decided to email, blaming his staff for cutting our portal access before explanation was given. In his email, he assumed we were considerably uncertain about things so he felt it may be best to seek assistance elsewhere. At no time did we say we were uncertain or questioned our arrangement; we merely wanted some clarification prior to signing any agreement. When you choose to respond via email instead of picking up the phone to call a client, it shows me there is a lack of character and interest in smaller accounts such as ours.
