Doherty & Associates

I have been working with Doherty & Associates for years. This year the accounting firm is under new leadership. All I can say is that Jim McMahon is absolutely wonderful. He is attentive, works quickly and carefully, and responds immediately to even the most minute question. So glad that I stuck with this firm for my taxes. Highly Recommend!

I just had the very worst experience with any business I’ve ever had in my entire life. I visited Doherty & Associates in January of 2023 had a consultation for about 10 minutes and was charged $300 during the consultation she brought up the fact she needed to get paid for the consult in order to continue. (Very unprofessional ). However, I gave her my credit card. She promised to work hard on our taxes. I submitted all our tax documents in January!! Called and emailed Debbie and her team on a regular basis for updates on the status of filings. On every occasion Debbie or her secretary assured us that everything was going well. She told us we are reviewing your taxes and any day now look out for invoices and forms you need to sign. And nothing. I called the office and her secretary told me She’s in the hospital another time she’s away on business Excuse after excuse!! That brings us to April. I emailed Debbie once again to ask if she filed an extension because obviously April is tax month. She assured me that she would file an extension for my wife and I not to worry. A month goes by. By now I am having difficulty believing anything Debbie says, so I called the IRS and wasn’t surprised to find out no extension was filed on our behalf. At that point I emailed Debbie and told her we will be taking our business elsewhere. What made me upset wasn’t the fact she didn’t provide the services she promised. It was her response. She blamed us for not submitting documents on time which was a total lie. Just a clever way of not taking responsibility. Stay clear of this business!!

I have been using Doherty & Associates for several years now and have always been completely satisfied with their great service. I recently brought an issue directly to Debbie Doherty and was blown away by the service and response to my needs. I was treated with respect and patience, and received a completely explanatory response in practically no time. There had to have been work required to provide me with the answers I needed and yet there was no additional fees ! Would highly recommend Doherty & Associates for your tax needs if you are looking for professional customer service.

For years I had done my own taxes with one of the online solutions, in 2019 I had Doherty & Associates complète my taxes and they did an amazing job. Saved me quite a bit more money than if I had done them myself AND it really is sooo much less stressful to have someone you trust doing your taxes for you. I highly recommend their services for both business and personal taxes.

We had our first tax preparation meeting with Debbie last week. She was very helpful and knew all of the right questions to ask. They were easy to get even a last minute appointment with. The office is very nice and clean. The office staff were pleasant to work with. I look forward to see how our taxes turn out.
