    I just used HR Block of all places, it was spendy ($600) but I'm getting close to 5k back and they caught a lot of errors that my other accountant last year had missed. And yes, this was using them for my business. Find someone in a branch office that specializes in small business if you go with them, you can read the employees bios on their website.

    The so called ATBS " Consultants " are nearly impossible to get ahold of, and usually do not have any answers to even the simplest of questions... I used them 2 years ago and it was a waste of money....

    Agreed. The common complaints about them are:

    - Their "advisors" are never available, and never return calls.

    - Their profit/loss statements are almost always incorrect (About halfway through last year, my P/L statement from them said I had spent a grand total of about $3000 on fuel for the entire year!),

    - They don't send out P/L statements which are something that is being paid for,

    - They have recently been late on tax returns (I've heard about several people who are going to have to file extensions because ATBS won't have their taxes done on time)

    - The quarterly taxes that they calculate are incorrect (they had me owing over $5000 during the third quarter of last year, mainly because they weren't entering in any of my expenses)

    -They commonly miss things on tax returns - last year, they missed about $10,000 worth of paid claims on my tax return, and miscalculated my truck depreciation.

    Kevin Rutherford promotes them because he sold his business (The Alliance) to them about 2 years ago. Take what Kevin Rutherford says with a grain of salt. He also promotes the Turbo 3000 Vada, which has been consistently been proven to be useless. He's a shill for the highest advertising dollar. I pity anyone who continues to use them.
