Elliot Freidenreich Mba CPA

Jan 2022

Worst accountant. Found out in Jly of 2020, after receiving a letter from the IRS, that my mothers taxes for 2018 weren't filed. When I called to ask what was needed to complete it, he said by the way 2016 and 2017 weren't filed. For 6 months I tried asking him to give me a list of what he needed to file them. I asked in Jan21 to return all paperwork so I could file them. In the meantime he filed the 2019 return, which in Jly 21 he called to tell me his assistant found a letter from the IRS dated Mar21 in another clients paperwork, stating income wasn't reported and an amended return needed to be done. When I asked him why it wasn't reported, he said he didn't have the info. Turns out he had the info because he reported income that was on the same 1099 with both amounts on it. (the 1099 with both figures were in the paperwork he returned) He also filed the 2016, 2017, 2018 in Jly21 without my permission and left out 1 of my mothers main source of revenue and understated the real estate taxes paid. Totally unprofessional and incompetent! (Also he had the nerve to send me a bill for those years that I didn't ask him to do and charged my 94 yr old mom 3x the amount for the incorrect 2019 return which she paid) 0 stars!

After submitting my tax documents in February, he still had not finished my returns in June. As a result, for the first time ever, we paid significant fines for being late. No explanation and no apology. Completely unprofessional.

Smart does not begin to describe Elliot. he has a depth of knowledge that no seasonal tax service, no online system could ever provide. His focus is to plan year round for the most advantageous tax positions, not scurry around in march. Take advantage of his experience, his expertise, and his all round focus on looking out for your interests. it's an unbeatable combination.
