This company is a joke. Here are some (by far not all) of the issues I experienced with this company:
1. You do not directly communicate with an accountant. You are connected with a representative whose sole job is to forward emails. On average, one round takes one week, and if you want to clarify something or have a follow-up, one more week.
2. I had a super-simple case: no employees, no income, just a loss claim. It took 2.5 months and over 30 emails. After 2.5 months, I ended up talking with an accountant, who was also 20 minutes late for the meeting.
3. They use some software internally that sends you emails all the time, but they do not tell you about it. After I tried to act on those emails and asked the contact person some clarifying questions, I was told to ignore them. Why did I receive them in the first place?
4. They worked really hard to keep the service fee "variable, depending on the case..." I had to craft an amendment to the service agreement to capture the price for their service.
5. The information in the documents they want me to sign is sometimes incorrect, such as misspelled names and wrong dates.

Even if the tax filing result is perfect (🤞), I have zero trust in this company, not to say how huge of a time sink and a source of frustration it is.

Had a very comprehensive level of service from sales to the senior accountant assigned to our account. There was a fast turn around time including working the weekend to meet our required timelines. Work was for a multi-entity business structure, the accountant assigned was a knowledgeable CPA who was easy to communicate with and our assigned representative was well tuned into the project to ensure we were kept apprised of project timelines.

I spoke to david within a few minutes of posting on Bark. Awesome experience as he answered all my questions and assured me I could contact him anytime I needed assistance with my business. I was prepared to sign on with Baxton, however he told me I needed to speak with his boss, where she would be signing me up. Week after week has gone by, and nothing. Every time she gives another excuse, and takes at least a week to get back. This would've been the easiest sign on ever I was ready to get started, but no clue what happened, and very unfortunate to read this has been the case with many others also involved with the company. Shocked More...

Baxton Harper is an exceptional firm. They helped me with my taxes, bookkeeping and made revisions without question as needed.

They also assisted me numerous times with international tax advice and are now working hand in hand with me and my attorney to create and structure corporations in other countries.

Looking forward to continuing to use their services for many years. They have become an essential part of my team.

P.S. Both David and Kate are highly recommended!!

Like everyone else, I had considered paying the extra money they charged to have a full service accounting firm represent me with my business. I was prepared to pay more than triple what others charge after I spoke to David. He has a really wonderful way of making you feel important and like he will make sure everything gets done the way you want it. He forwarded me someone from their firm to help me and they said they would call me to make an introduction. They didn't. I then emailed them cause what I needed done was time sensitive. They never responded. I left voicemails and emails and never got any response back. Sorry, but if I'm going to pay that much money the service better be amazing. I can't have myself and my clients get burned by the lack of response. More...

Extremely fast response, at first. David called me within a day of my requesting quotes. Their rates were slightly higher than others, but I thought, if the experience is as quick and professional as my first conversation it's worth it! It's been 2 months of back and forth with very slow and limited responses - almost nothing I needed has been done. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this is a pandemic issue and not their regular quality. More...

My experience with Baxton Harper is very positive. Their specialists are professional, charismatic, eager to help, and offers precise advices on exactly what you need. Their professional skill and widsom puts most other accountants to shame. Rates maybe slightly higher than the smaller firms, but every cent is worth its value. Among the four accountants I've worked with, Baxton Harper easily aces the competition, and it has been an honor. More...

AVOID at all costs! They charge you triple or quadruple the amounts of any other place for the exact same services. Do not get fooled by David's charming you on how he would "answer any questions you have at any time", "will not ever overcharge you", etc. After a couple of months, he did not answer most of my calls or emails.
They wanted to charge me around 2800 for corporate return and bookkeeping even though the market rate is anywhere between 1200 to 1800.
They even wanted to charge me 1200 for a corporate return for a 6 days period corporate return!! I will get it done with my new accountant by 300.

I filled in a online questionnaire looking for some answers. But not necessarily looking for a CPA. A representative from Baxton Harper responded with a phone call the next day. I had a question about what is a "holding company" . I was given a clear and fully comprehendible explanation of what is the intent of a holding company. It helped tremendously. Even though I wasn't particularly looking for a CPA , the representative was more than happy to answer the question.
True professionals indeed. I highly recommended to at least speak with them.

What a sigh of relief to have found Baxton Harper. I was stressing about the sale of my company and was getting hit with taxes at every turn. In our consult meeting alone, Kevin's advice managed to save me 25% on a rather large deal!

An especially massive shout out to David! Absolutely friendly and personable. He is great at taking everything you have to say in very quickly and game planning like a machine!

The whole team was very polite and responsive. Looking forward to continuing business with them for the years to come!
