The Bean Counters, Inc.

Brenda is awesome, I have never met anyone as smart and well prepared as her.  Not only did she help me fix my quickbooks after months of neglect, but she helped me file my past tax returns and set up a system to keep me organized. It wasn't just that she knew what she was doing, it was her help with every step of the process and her sense of humor that kept me plugging along until everything was done. More...

Susie and I have been working with Brenda for at least 6 years now. Brenda is efficient and thorough to say the least! Any questions that need answering, Brenda is right on the phone or email to make sure that no mistakes are made. Her advice is is well thought out and totally understandable. She takes the stress out of doing my taxes...as much as that is  possible to accomplish that. On top of all that, Brenda is fun to work with. She has a great sense of humor and takes the time to get to know you so you are not just a client number on her contact list. More...

No one likes doing their taxes, or going to get their taxes done, right? Well. Kind of? I love my tax preparer! I've used different tax services over many decades, but none even begin to compare to the brilliant and upbeat Brenda Upmeyer of The Bean Counters. This experienced and personable CPA strives to give her best to every client-every time. Ms. Upmeyer has prepared my taxes for about the last seven years (and some of my returns have not been without a few quirks and challenges). I can confidently say that I completely trust both her ethics and her expertise. You're getting only $82 back this year in your refund? The Bean Counters will still make you feel like you're a million dollar client.  The Bean Counters' office feels warm and welcoming, and you'll quickly agree that Ms. Upmeyer is  knowledgeable, smart, well-informed, efficient, and professional. Her work ethic is inimitable, and she fears no challenge. You'll love the friendly and helpful, non-judgmental customer service (yes, of course you can file for an extension, and sure, she can help you sort through that shoebox full of receipts); but you'll get more than that. You will also feel confident that you are utterly safe to trust in the quality of her work. It's reassuring to know someone really knows what they're doing, and it's additionally comforting and uplifting to have professional help that's also personal. You are never just an account here; know that you'll be seen as a human being and not just as a potential commission or fee. At The Bean Counters, you get the sense that here, both the work they do ***with you and your finances*** and ***you as a person*** both truly matter to them. Thank you, Brenda, for bringing order to my taxes and restoring a sense of calm to what can sometimes be a stressful task or process. You have my trust and my thanks, always. As a grateful client, I am thrilled to recommend your ethical and reliable company to others. I know that anyone I refer to you is in good hands, and I'd never send them to anyone but you. Thanks again. LIF More...

Brenda has done a stellar job managing my Quickbooks for my self-employed business since 2008 and making sure I report my quarterly business taxes on time. She has also prepared my household taxes for many years (since she started years ago at H&R Block). My taxes have not always been "easy" with with self-employed business income/expenses, stock trades loss/gains, charity/donations deductions, and one year dealing with inheritance income. Brenda is detailed, meticulous, thorough, and I have always felt at peace that she did an accurate tax return, ensuring the largest tax refund I am entitled to receive. I can't speak high enough praise about Brenda's work ethic and knowledge. More...
