Dimov Tax Reviews & Testimonials
Tax Preparation Review from Parhum Moshki
Dimov Tax was exceptionally helpful and fair-priced when assisting my family with complex tax questions that involved cross-border considerations. They made sure all of our filings strictly adhered to IRS regulations while maintaining the highest standard of quality. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing everything was handled professionally and completely by the book!
Tax Preparation Review from Gerald Triplett
Working with the team at Dimov Tax has been a fantastic experience. I have relied on them for my filings over the last four tax years, and I always feel confident knowing they genuinely look out for my best interests. They are dedicated, reliable, and consistently advocate for their clients!
Tax Preparation Review from Рубен Газарян
This is easily the finest tax firm I have ever worked with. As a long-term client who grew up outside the United States, I find the American tax system incredibly complex and confusing. However, Kirill Solntsev and George Dimov made my highly complicated 2025 tax return feel completely manageable. Kirill’s exceptional professional support, patience, and meticulous attention to detail were incredible throughout the entire process. They offer top-tier individual tax planning and filing services at a great price point. I wish them continued success and look forward to remaining a loyal client for many years to come!

WatterCPA Reviews & Testimonials
Accounting Review from Richard Simunek
As a long-standing client of Ken Watter, I was deeply saddened by his unexpected passing. Having lived in Washington, DC for 35 years before moving 1,300 miles back to my hometown in Oklahoma, my tax situation is quite involved. I am required to file federal taxes along with state returns in both DC and Oklahoma, covering a complex mix of rental properties, oil royalty income, farm revenue, dividends, interest, and social security. Without the Dimov Team stepping in, this transition could have easily become a complete nightmare. Instead, they seamlessly continued delivering top-tier accounting work, completing everything promptly while showing extraordinary patience throughout the process. I cannot emphasize my gratitude enough and give the Dimov Team my highest possible recommendation!
Tax Preparation Review from DeJuan Price
I have nothing but high praise for the team at Watter CPA. Following my mother's passing, they prepared and filed her final federal and state tax returns with extraordinary empathy and care. From our very first interaction, they recognized this wasn't merely a set of forms, but a vital part of wrapping up my mother's estate, and they treated the situation with real sensitivity. Communication was seamless throughout the entire process. They were proactive and answered all my questions quickly without requiring any follow-up from my side. Handling sensitive personal and financial data securely was a top priority for them, which gave me immense peace of mind. Furthermore, they clearly explained every step in plain terms, making complex estate tax matters easy to grasp. Their rates were also very reasonable considering the exceptional expertise and personal attention they provided. If you are dealing with the loss of a family member and require expert, compassionate help with their final taxes, I cannot recommend Watter CPA highly enough.
Tax Preparation Review from Arnold Kaplin
I am extremely pleased with the professionalism and outstanding availability of Watter & Associates. They are fantastic to work with, and I highly recommend their team to anyone looking for top-tier service!

Their expert financial advising has saved us a significant amount of money over time. The entire team is consistently fast, trustworthy, highly detailed, and an absolute joy to collaborate with.

Sam Siciliano's Review Sourced from Google
This is the first time that I’ve used Wasserman Accounting, but I’m surely glad I did. I have a background in accounting and income taxes, but I was out of my league this year due to a complicated situation. Jacqueline Heston took charge of the process, helped me gather all the documentation and followed the various leads that were available. Her solution was accurate and the result was better than I could have imagined. Jacqueline was professional and knowledgeable and I thank her for expertise.

Tax Preparation Review from Lorri Hagman
I reached out for help fixing some mistakes I had made using TurboTax for my 2024 return, as well as handling an updated 1040 form that arrived after my 2025 filing. The Maris team responded right away and efficiently submitted amended returns for both tax years. They even spotted a few tax credits I had completely overlooked, which was a great bonus even though I still owed for my earlier filing errors. Their pricing is very reasonable, and I definitely plan to have them manage my taxes from now on!
Tax Preparation Review from Andrew Pryor
The team was exceptionally helpful throughout the entire process! They took the time to carefully break down complex details for me, which really improved my overall understanding of my situation. Their patience, clarity, and dedicated service made a huge difference. I highly recommend working with them to anyone looking for expert support!
Tax Preparation Review from Tom Miller
Aziz and Sam provided outstanding service! I was several years behind on filing my tax returns, and they walked me step-by-step through gathering and organizing all the required documentation. I am so grateful to these gentlemen for their fast, patient, and prompt assistance in getting everything back on track!

Customer Support Review from Marie M. Harris
Although we have been struggling before, after expanding our influence into mountain wear and watches, it became evident that we needed some professional help. We were offering many new products, and making matters worse, we were present in different foreign markets, which mean many competitors to keep an eye on. After some consultations with the Vserve team, we had no doubts that they were the solution we had been looking for. Thanks to their proven MAP enforcement strategies, maintaining our market position is now easier. We always have accurate pricing information at our fingerprints. I must say, we are really impressed with Vserve.
Customer Support Review from Danielle W
Our company is grateful to have found a collaborative team in Vserve for our Product Information Management. Initially, we were unsure about the quality of product descriptions and their accessibility to our buyers. However, Vserve’s expertise in programming language and business best practices helped us to manage our complete product information and catalog pretty well. The conversion rate excelled our expectations, and our products shot up on Google rankings!

BEST CPA Nationwide. I have been working with Mr. Basta for a while and it has been amazing. I was dealing with a critical situation that would have costed me a lot in taxes, and after one meeting with Mr. Basta, he presented a step by step solution, which I followed to a T and the entire issue is resolved.Aside from that case, Mr. Basta's communication has been very satisfying. He always takes the time to explain to me the situation and why a certain solution is the best solution. If you are looking for a seasoned CPA who also cares about your success, Basta and Company is the way to go.

RKL LLP Reviews & Testimonials
Becki Hager's Review Sourced from Google
Pain often enacts change and growth. A series of unfortunate events with a previous firm brought us to RKL a few years ago, and we could not be more relieved. We instantly felt the safety net of professional expertise in every area of our business. Not only are they extremely good at what they do, but RKL is also proactive in constantly looking for ways to improve us financially and operationally. We REALLY knew we had hit the jackpot when Covid-19 swung RKL into action, way ahead of their competitors, with the weekly Friday webinars open to clients and not-yet clients alike. This inspired idea of RKL's was a lifeline to our sanity as we all navigated this together, and literally put RKL on the front page. I have learned that if they offer advice or answer a question, it's been well researched and is spot on. We are so VERY grateful for our tax, corporate audit, and pension audit team.
Shane Bennett's Review Sourced from Google
Molly Ramos is a qualified professional. She returns my calls promptly and took care of my estate return very well. She also corresponded with my attorney inna timely fashion.RKL isn't cheap but like a great deal of services in life, you get what you pay for. I would recommend Molly.
His Opinion's Review Sourced from Google
RKL CPA services really went down the drain for the last couple of years. Jim needs to either retire or let someone else take care of his position. When he obviously knows something, he would reply like he doesn't. It's almost like he is acting like a 16 year working at Mc Donalds, filling up time for a PayCheck and doing everything he can not get involved in any project. I can't believe his title is a partner since he really doesn't act like he is doing anything to improve company revenues. Multiple mistakes from different associates; they can't even hold on to their commitment to calling the client on time. Associates unable to look at a paper and type the information into the computer without making spelling mistakes. Just overall, I completely lost my trust in them to handle something as crucial as taxes.

Wiss Reviews & Testimonials
Walter Bauman's Review Sourced from Google
Excellent accounting firm. They know what they are doing and actually want to help their clients. Big enough to have great resources but not too big that you are just a number.
Fred Fiorentino's Review Sourced from Google
We have been with Wiss for about (11) years now, so I believe we know their firm fairly well.At the start, they immediately saved us a considerable amount of tax liability in Year 1 and moving forward over the years. As we are a global corporation with many subsidiaries, they also made some recommendations as far as restructuring to take advantage of other more technical issues.We primarily use Wiss for our annual general accounting audit, tax preparations and filings, and 401K audit. They also assist from time to time regarding international related issues. As with many companies, changes of personnel do occur from time to time, but they have always made these as seamless as possible.We have also experienced Federal and State audits, which they have also guided us thru from A to Z.In summary, we value Wiss as a partner with our company and have always experienced a very positive, professional and full service relationship.
Jonathan Dilauri's Review Sourced from Google
As the owner of a small business, the accounting firm I choose needs to be responsive, friendly, and thorough. Having been with Wiss for over 5 years now, Paul, Jim and the rest of the staff have been amazing.They respond to my emails, answer my questions and add insight into the financial and accounting aspects of my business. This has allowed me to make better decisions for the growth of my company and the financial security for my family.I have had two other accounting firms in the past and neither were as attentive or engaging as they are at Wiss. The team at Wiss got my business onto an online platform that has made my accounting a breeze. There have been several occasions where I needed clarification and had difficulty with certain aspects of my quickbooks account and they were able to rectify them within 1 business day.As a busy owner running a company, I feel great knowing the accounting aspect and tax planning is in great hands. One less thing I need to be concerned with which allows me to concentrate on growing my business.I would highly recommend them and have personally done so with family, friends and colleagues.

Hiring Guide: How to Choose the Top Accounting Firms in the US
What should I prepare for my first meeting?
A well-prepared first meeting helps them recommend the right services, set realistic timelines, and establish a productive working relationship from the start.
It also allows the firm to quickly determine whether your needs are primarily operational, compliance-driven, or advisory-focused.
Before the meeting, gather key business and financial information to support an efficient onboarding process.
You should include business registration documents, your Employer Identification Number (EIN), and financial statements from the last 12 months, such as profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports.
Recent bank and credit card statements, along with payroll summaries, are also essential for providing a complete picture of your finances.
You should also be ready to explain how your business currently handles invoicing, expense tracking, payroll frequency, and tax payments.
When you provide context like that, the firm will be able to evaluate your workflows and identify potential areas for improvement much better.
Many first-time clients underestimate onboarding timelines as initial setup, data cleanup, and reconciliations can take 2–6 weeks, depending on the quality and consistency of existing records.
If cleanup is required, the firm may recommend a phased approach before moving into ongoing monthly services.
Finally, outline your main financial priorities and challenges, such as improving cash-flow visibility, preparing for growth, managing compliance, and reducing tax exposure.
Clearly defined priorities help prevent over-scoping and ensure the firm focuses on services that deliver measurable value early on.
What documents should I prepare if I’m switching providers?
If you’re switching companies, having well-organized documentation will help ensure a smooth and efficient transition.
Most firms will ask for two to three years of financial statements, prior tax returns, and detailed transaction histories to understand your financial position and historical reporting.
This historical context helps the incoming firm identify inconsistencies, past adjustments, or compliance risks early in the process.
You should also prepare bank statements, credit card records, and payroll documentation, including W-2s, 1099s, and quarterly filings, to maintain continuity in payroll processing and financial reporting.
Providing secure access to your accounting software reduces manual data entry, speeds up reconciliations, and minimizes the risk of errors.
In some cases, structured communication between your outgoing and incoming firms helps clarify prior accounting treatments, resolve open items, and address outstanding compliance issues.
Such coordination is typically limited to transition-related questions and helps avoid duplicated work or conflicting adjustments.
How do businesses benefit from hiring US accountants?
They ensure financial accuracy, tax compliance, and strategic growth through expert budgeting, forecasting, and identifying cost savings, ultimately freeing up owners' time and protecting them from costly errors or legal issues by navigating complex U.S. tax laws and regulations.
The estimated revenue generated by accounting services in the United States reached almost $145 billion over the past five years, including an expected 0.2% boost in 2025.
According to statistics, 72% of accounting and bookkeeping practices reported increased revenue in the past 12 months to highlight the growth seen across the industry.
Offering new and additional services to clients is a leading reason for revenue and profit increase. On average, accounting and bookkeeping practices offer around six services to their clients.
Key benefits include:
- Ensured adherence to federal and state financial law
- Help with strategic financial planning
- Low operational costs
- Allow owners to focus on core business activities
- Accurate financial reporting
What red flags should I watch out for when hiring a firm?
Several red flags can indicate a poor accounting partner, including:
- Unclear pricing: Vague fee structures or a lack of detailed pricing breakdowns often lead to unexpected charges, budget overruns, and disputes once work is underway.
- Slow or inconsistent communication: Delayed responses (longer than 24 hours and leading to several days) during the sales or onboarding phase may indicate ongoing responsiveness issues, especially during critical reporting or tax deadlines.
- Lack of industry experience: Firms without experience in your specific industry may overlook relevant tax strategies, misinterpret regulations, or apply inefficient reporting practices.
- No structured onboarding process: Top accounting firms typically offer defined timelines, clear document checklists, and assigned points of contact to ensure a smooth transition and accurate setup.
- Purely reactive approach: Firms that only respond when contacted tend to focus on basic compliance rather than proactively identifying risks, explaining financial trends, or recommending improvements before issues escalate.
What is the difference between an accounting firm and a CPA firm?
Top accounting firms typically offer a range of services, including bookkeeping, payroll, financial reporting, and advisory services, that support day-to-day operations.
They may employ accountants without CPA licensure and typically focus on management and operational accounting.
A CPA firm employs Certified Public Accountants who have passed licensing exams and meet state regulatory requirements.
In the United States, there are over 650,000 actively licensed CPAs, reflecting the professional standards required to hold this credential.
In addition to standard services, CPA firms can perform audits, reviews, and formal attestations of financial statements and represent clients before the IRS.
While all CPA firms are accounting firms, not all accounting firms are CPA firms. The distinction matters when audited financials or formal tax representation is required.
How do I measure whether they are actually adding value?
To truly measure value, you need to consider other factors aside from receiving reports on time.
In the first 3-6 months, improvements typically show up as cleaner books, fewer reconciliation issues, and faster month-end closes, often shortening reporting cycles by 20-40%.
You may also notice a decline in last-minute requests for missing data or corrections, indicating stronger processes and better organization.
Over the next 6-12 months, value should extend further into improved cash flow visibility, fewer compliance issues, and more predictable tax outcomes.
Reduced penalties, smoother audits, and proactive tax planning are strong indicators of effective performance.
At this stage, your accounting firm should help you anticipate potential issues and plan, rather than react to problems after they arise.
Time savings are another measurable benefit. Many business owners reclaim 5-15 hours per month previously spent on financial administration.
When your partner consistently improves accuracy, provides forward-looking insights, and supports better decision-making, it is delivering strategic value rather than just transactional support.
Regular review meetings and performance check-ins are also strong signs of a high-value accounting partnership.

Frequently Asked Questions About Accounting Companies
At what point should I hire an accounting firm?
Most businesses begin working with one of these companies once financial complexity interferes with daily operations.
While there is no universal threshold, many companies seek professional support when:
- Annual revenue consistently exceeds $100,000-$250,000
- Monthly transaction volume reaches 40-50 or more entries
- Payroll, tax filings, or reporting begin consuming operational time
At those stages, manual bookkeeping becomes inefficient and increases the risk of errors or missed compliance deadlines.
Accounting outsourcing is also driven by efficiency. Around 65% of businesses outsource finance and accounting tasks to free up internal resources and focus on growth.
As requirements expand, they provide structure, accuracy, and regulatory oversight that small internal teams often struggle to maintain.
What accounting services do most top accounting companies offer in the US?
The best accounting firms in the US typically provide a mix of core financial, compliance, and advisory services.
Common offerings include:
- Bookkeeping and bank reconciliations
- Financial statement preparation
- Payroll processing
- Accounts payable and receivable management
- Tax planning and federal, state, and local tax filings
Many firms also offer:
- Budgeting and forecasting
- Cash flow and financial performance analysis
- Audit preparation and internal controls assessments
- Compliance support under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
Many businesses outsource several accounting functions at the same time, which is why US companies typically offer these services as bundled, ongoing engagements rather than isolated tasks.
This approach aligns with the scale of the finance and accounting outsourcing market, which stood at $54.79 billion in 2025.
How much does it cost to hire top accounting firms in the United States?
The cost of hiring one of these firms in the United States depends on business size, transaction volume, and service complexity. Typical pricing includes:
- $300-$800 per month for basic bookkeeping and reconciliations
- $150-$400 per hour for specialized CPA services
- $800-$2,500 per month for comprehensive monthly packages (payroll, reporting, tax support)
- $2,500-$5,000+ per month for mid-sized or higher-complexity businesses
At a macro level, the global accounting outsourcing market is expected to exceed $80 billion by 2030, as companies pursue cost efficiencies of 20-60% compared to maintaining full in-house accounting teams.
What additional costs can I expect from these types of companies?
In addition to base retainers, they often charge for specialized or non-recurring services, such as:
- Year-end financial statements
- Multi-state or corporate tax filings
- Audit preparation
- System migrations
- International compliance
- Advisory or consulting projects
Other common add-ons include payroll setup, budgeting assistance, and financial forecasting.
For many growing businesses, these services increase total annual accounting spend by 20-40% beyond base fees.
While this raises short-term costs, outsourcing often reduces overall operating expenses by eliminating the need for full-time internal finance staff and minimizing compliance risks.
What do I need to know before I switch to a top accounting firm?
Switching companies usually involves a transition period of 4-8 weeks. During this time, businesses should be prepared to provide:
- 2-3 years of financial statements
- Prior tax filings
- Payroll records
- Access to accounting software
A brief overlap between outgoing and incoming firms is common and helps:
- Resolve open items
- Prevent reporting gaps
- Ensure continuity of compliance
Planning the transition outside of peak tax or reporting seasons further reduces disruption and operational risk.
