JCP Financial, Inc.

"I regret to say that my experience with JCP Financial has been nothing short of a nightmare. Their incompetence and lack of professionalism have left me utterly frustrated and dissatisfied. First and foremost, their communication is abysmal. Despite numerous attempts to resolve an alleged outstanding balance, they continued to harass me with relentless demands for payment, even after providing evidence of payment that clearly settled the matter. It's as if they don't bother to keep track of their own records or respect their clients' time and effort. Furthermore, their staff seems to lack basic courtesy and understanding. Instead of acknowledging their mistake and rectifying it promptly, they chose to ignore my requests and persist in their erroneous claims. Dealing with them felt like banging my head against a brick wall - utterly futile and infuriating. In addition to their incompetence, their customer service is non-existent. Emails go unanswered, phone calls are ignored. Save yourself the frustration and headache by steering clear of this unprofessional and incompetent company. There are plenty of other reputable financial services out there that actually value their clients and strive for excellence. Avoid JCP Financial at all costs!"

"This guy is a fraud and will tack on extra expenses. Never in all my encounters with CPA's and tax profesionals have a met a mor dishonest man."

"WATCH OUT FOR THIS PLACE! Read all of there bad reviews. Doing your taxes here you will deal with • Negligence and Incompetence. • Fraud, deceit, and misrepresentation in the practice. • Failing to perform services in accordance with professional standards. There should be a level of integrity with Accountants and CPA’S but don’t expect this here. The accountant discusses her personal life with clients. She seems to be a OML. So happy I moved!"

"STAY AWAY! I cannot stress this enough. Carl allowed me to park a bus behind his business for $150/month. He decided to raise the price to $200/month without warning the day I was leaving town for an extended period of time (which he knew about). It took him 2 weeks to send me a new lease reflecting the new amount and within 2 hours of sending it, he was already demanding payment and threatening me with an arbitrary late fee. I sent him a $600 check the very next day to cover 3 months of parking. About 2.5 months later, he began demanding MORE money from me. I refused and insisted that I had already paid the full amount; first he demanded $230, then $330, then $180, then $90, and most recently $1,015 -- even HE didn't know how much I supposedly owed. I refused each time and continued insisting that I didn't owe him anything. Finally, I sent him a copy of the signed lease and copies of the cashed checks as proof that I've paid my dues. I haven't heard from him since -- no apology, no admission of guilt, nothing. I've concluded two possibilities from my experience -- either Carl is too inept to manage a simple, legally-binding contract and the $600 that went along with it (which, with 36 years of "financial and accounting consulting experience," would be hard to believe) OR, more likely, Carl is a bully who carelessly ignores the terms of legally-binding contracts that HE drafts and, instead of conducting honorable business, prefers to walk-the-fine-line between reckless mismanagement and extortion by throwing contracts out the window and demanding undeserved money from his customers in the hopes that they'll fold and pay it. Carl has made it crystal clear that his priority is making himself money -- not conducting himself/his business with integrity or delivering for his customers (and the other reviews shine light on this claim as well). I'm grateful that my business with Carl and JCP Financial was limited to parking a bus on their property -- I would strongly advise against hiring JCP Financial to handle your taxes, payroll, or any part of your business/personal finances. Learn from the rest of us and STAY AWAY!"

"Carl lacks professionalism, comprehension\brainpower and reasoning. After a four month delay on my 2020 tax return, in which Carl filed, I reached out to the IRS. They advised the return had not been received, in their system and a penalty would be issued. I immediately reached out to Carl, as a client would, to make him aware of the information I was given. The phone call to Carl was interrupted, by him and a DoorDash employee, auguring, the food was delivered to the wrong address. The only information/advice Carl provided during that phone call, was to contact the IRS again. The brief call to Carl was exactly four minutes and thirty three seconds. Within a week, I received an Invoice/Bill, in the amount of $85.00 for the inquiry. I called the office of JCP and the receptionist could not explain why I was charged and advised me to contact Carl direct. I emailed Carl, disputing the debt. Following several back and forth phone calls and emails to Carl, he continued to argue that the tax forms were correct. A mistake couldn't have been made on his behalf and would not mention the bill I received, after verbally agreeing he would reverse the charge. I finally realized there was no rational thinking on his part and requested Carl no longer contact me. I asked him to remove all points of contact for myself from his file. I advised I will not be paying the unreasonable charge and I most certainly will not be a returning customer. Carl again fired back with an email, stating he made no errors and the charge was applied accordingly. Just as the previous review stated, if you hire JCP Financial/Carl, be prepared to pay when mistakes are made and or you have questions or concerns."
