McCartney & Baber Inc., CPA

"Showed poor inter-office communication among each other. They had 1 complete tax package and it took 6 wks before they started on it. They don't initially explain that they will AUTOMATICALLY place any Corporate taxes ahead of yours. In week 5 that was the explanation given as to why they hadn't started. You fill out pertinent information on their 10 page Tax Preparation Questionnaire and yet they are quick to say that they don't have something due to YOU not giving it to them. Once they realize they are full of mess or that the excuse isn't logically, they then quickly respond with another angle of NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP. We respectfully submitted packages properly and communicated, but to no avail, there were several careless mistakes on their part. We were new clients that will not be back. We had our previous Accountant/Tax Preparer for 11 years and he is at the point of retiring. I honestly, was hoping that this would be a perfect transition. Not even close to being even an okay experience. I just hope that IRS don't have any issues with their preparations/our files, because dealing with the "team" is exhausting; The "team" meaning his wife, son, and other preparers, they just don't take responsibility. Again, Mr. Don seemed pleasant but we only interacted with him at the initial client consultation. Several careless mistakes and no ownership made everything questionable for us. Didn't work for us, but good luck to anyone else. Poor service for top prices."

"I am completely satisfied with my tax return. McCartney is knowledgeable about tax laws, and lawfully informed me what would be considered deductible/non-deductible in regards to my small business. His wife is very personable and remembered me from a 5 minute conversation we had 2 weeks ago! He has a family business, and I am thankful I found him! I did my research looking for a new CPA. His rates are competitive. He is well worth it to get a good nights rest! I will file with him again!"

"My husband and I just relocated to Arlington and were really anxious in working with a new accountant, especially since our tax situation is quite complex. After extensive research, we decided to go with Donald McCartney, CPA. And what a blessing him and his staff were to us!!! Nancy whom I had the initial phone conversation with, immediately impressed me with her professionalism and kindness. Upon arrival for the appointment, Nancy continued to be welcoming, personable and extremely respectful. Our meeting with Donald McCartney, the CPA, was also exceptional!!! He stands out as a top professional, who is extremely detail oriented and knowledgable in the current tax laws; carefully listens to his clients; and is devoted in providing his clients with the best possible outcome within said laws. Based on our personal experience, we now know, that we found the best account with whom we will continue to work in the upcoming years!!! It is therefore, we confidently and strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a CPA!!!"

"Don is knowledgeable, and helpful. We have used him for personal taxes as well as business taxes for quite some time. The professional atmosphere, and personal interest in assisting you with financial decisions is a wonderful blend at this office. If you need solid and trusted advice regarding business decisions with tax consequences,this company is a GREAT choice."

"Don is awesome! He works with people that have home based businesses and real estate/note investors. He understands how important it is to keep as much of your money as possible and will help you find deductions. I also had an unusual situation involving the franchise taxing authority of another state and he worked diligently to help me understand the rules and fight what we considered to be an unfair tax. I couldn't find another CPA willing to even work with me on this issue. Highly recommend his services."
