Bishop, Farmer & Co., LLP

Laurie Livingston of Bishop Farmer did an excellent job of helping me with my taxes. She is thorough, meticulous, professional and a good listener. Laurie answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns about the tax implications of being a new resident of Virginia. The office receptionist is efficient, friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

DO NOT USE THIS CPA SERVICE! I’m a small business owner. This past year in 2024 I went through the same process with the CPA as in previous years. This year I was assessed a late payment fee by the IRS for estimated taxes of $180. I have never been assessed any late payment or filing fee in all the previous years of doing business with Bishop Farmer. I was told it was a software glitch with some accounting software in use by the CPA that it should have been caught. My filing fee with B&F was $500. I don’t think its unreasonable to reduce the bill to offset the IRS fee, especially considering it was a software glitch on the part of the CPA and not to mention over 10 years of doing business with this firm and never experiencing a late fee. They agreed to reduce the fee. I paid the $319 to BF and as far as I was concerned this matter was closed. Apparently, Bishop Farmer felt diCerently as they sent me a letter indicating that they would no longer do business with me and that I should seek other accounting services. Considering the long history of business together and the fact that this nominal fee was assessed due to an issue on the part of the CPA this is unreasonable and totally unprofessional.

Bishop, Farmer and Co. have done my family's taxes for the last 5 years. With multiple rental properties and the complexities of a dual income family, they completed our taxes in a timely manner and answered all questions throughout the endeavor. Highly recommend for all tax submission requirements.
