      RA's Review Sourced from Google

      As an accounting firm I would give them 1 star. I recently discovered a litany of deductions they failed to consider. You will be given an EA, which is just a glorified tax preparer. They will know nothing and be slow to reply. You might as well get your taxes done by H&R block or a proper independent CPA. If these folks do your taxes, get prepared for a larger tax bill. I strongly advise against it.

      Spent 15 minutes doing a survey that promised $25, but when I got to the end after it asked me to confirm the email address I want the gift card sent to, I next got the following message instead of the $25 gift card: "Thank you for your interest in taking this survey, however, the survey has already reached the required number of respondents. We appreciate your willingness to share your opinions with us." I think that would have been good to know BEFORE having me take the entire survey. Thanks for wasting my time and collecting my data for free!

      I did not receive my $5 gift card as promised and wasted 30 minutes of my time. For a new mother, going on barely any sleep, taking care of a newborn, and in need of an extra 5 bucks for baby supplies this was disappointing. Don't waste your time!Update: I submitted a ticket to their survey support without getting any response to this day. Again, don't waste your time!

      I took two of their infant care surveys and qualified for a $5 giftcard each time. I have yet to receive either giftcard. I see with many negative reviews that this is a scam. Want to warn others

      We really loved Daniel Brian's mission statement of "better brands for a better human condition", we could tell right off the bat that they cared about our company and wanted to help us out with our goal to expand our brand and mission to our customers. Within a year we were able to triple our sales, associating a 20:1 return on ad spend. They are creative genius's who go outside the box in their thinking while keeping us in the loop the whole time! We highly recommend Daniel Brian Advertising to anyone with marketing needs!
