Client Reviews of Beth A. Bennett

I would like to give a zero star rating, but that didnt work. Not only did she "shuffle" information on my return without asking me if it was accurate, she charged me a ridiculous amount of money for what I considered to be less than professional work for not much time spent. Not to mention I had a substantial write off that was to be carried over year to year and she never put that on my return for the following year. Had I not caught that, I would have lost a very large (max deduction) for the next 8 years. Her attention to detail was not there. Within months of her doing my returns, I was receiving text messages from some Russian people demanding money from me (pretending to be her) and when I called to confront her I was told several different variations of a story that did not add up. She assured me that they only got her "address book" but that she had been on the phone "all morning" trying to get this "straightened out". In addition, she took her business and her client's information seriously and that I was fine. I knew this was not the case, as they would not have gotten my phone # if they only got her email address book. This is not someone I want handling my personal information and she has costed me a considerable amount of time, stress and extra money.....I have since moved and my new accountant was astounded at the poor quality of work that Beth had produced. I regret that I ever even gave her my personal information. There have been MANY other time consuming and very challenging consequences to me since she did my taxes. Did I mention that I never got a copy of the final return and had to call and ask for it? Not the level of professionalism I was used to. We wont even talk about how it wasnt accomplished in a timely manner-at least not what I was used to. But the bill, let's just say what I was charged was OBSCENE. It was clear she based it on what I made, not on what she did. I think that about sums it up.
