Stranger, Tallman & Lautz Accounting - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Sep 2023

What a disaster! Where to start. We signed up with them well in advance of tax season. I should have known we were in for trouble when the very first communication I got from them before tax season started was essentially a mass email saying "if we pissed you off enough from last tax season that you don't intend to have us do your returns this year, let us know".

This company has let their ego override their common sense…..beware they evidently don’t want just the average American clients! Shame on the way you have handled this and your timing!!!

Our corporation used Stranger Tallman and Lautz for years. We had a different accountant at the beginning until Steve took over our account. We recently moved our business to another firm as we couldn’t get answers to questions, emails and faxes went unanswered, and I kept getting certified letters from the IRS and was told they’d be taken care of. They weren’t. We ended up paying thousands of dollars in penalties and interest.I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this firm even though I hear good things about one of the other principles.
