Client Reviews of Harvey Altman, CPA

As a small business owner, what you need is to have someone you can trust your taxes! Right? I rarely write (bad) reviews online. Being a business owner myself, I know how bad reviews can harm your business. That being said, I do feel obligated to share my experience with Harvey Altman CPA. We have now used Harvey Altman CPA for four years. Prior we had Deloitte for 14 years. As an SMB (LLC), we have a relatively straight forward noncomplex situation. "You "hire them on a retainer and a fixed price". That is all looks good, you might think! However, we have experienced an increase in unforeseen and "unexpected" bills from them over the years - usually just a few days before Tax Day. They bill you for services they have not done. When you flag it and ask them about the billing details, they will respond aggressively and say things like", please understand that accounting is a service industry", etc. Their politics is they do not file your taxes before you paid bills due despite they "make" up bills last minute, you have never accepted or agreed upon. I cannot recommend this company at all. We have flagged this to our legal team. If you want to avoid this ...do not hire The Team Harvey Altman as your CPAs. You might ask, " how bad can it be?" Well, we had an annual retainer of $1.200 / $2.500. However, this year they billed us, with no warning, no further - $11.300. We have now filed a complaint to Board of Accountancy, as well as flagged them in the community.
