      Matt Mikkelsen's Review Sourced from Google

      Used them for taxes a few years ago. They did a good job. But had an urgent situation come up where I needed to help very quickly. The call would only take 5-10 minutes. They were very staunch on scheduling an appointment a week out and couldn't spare 5-10 minutes. The situation blew up and I missed out on a big return. Haven't used them since and never will again. Also never heard from them again. Definitely a churn and burn place. Had no interest in building a relationship with their client. My current accountant does a great job for 2/3 of the price and takes the time to talk with me if something comes up.

      Big thanks to EWH and their team in helping establish some great operating standards for my small business. Terry has been instrumental in giving us guidance, as well as building out a business plan for our growth. I'm very appreciative for their hard work, and would recommend them to anyone seeking outside accounting and payroll - especially folks who are not accounting and payroll experts who might need a little extra hand-holding!

      I've worked at a lot of places in my life and I have to say this is one of -if not THE best cultures I've ever worked in. Great people, great philosophy and behaviors. An attitude towards learning that is not simply philosophy, but encouraged in multiple ways. Driven by smart people that are all about understanding and embracing options. And it's also obvious that there's a healthy amount of fun and camaraderie here. A place with ❤️!
