John G Burk & Associates 56 Court Street, Keene, NH 03431

"I've been working with Karen and her team at John G Burk & Associates for several years now. The team has always been pleasant, efficient, and ready to answer all my questions as they arise. Our returns are completed and filed in a timely fashion, with no surprises. They also give back to the community and support our non-profit. I can't say enough about the service we've received and I highly recommend Karen and the rest of the team at John G Burk & Associates."

"I have been working with Karen for my business and personal tax preparation for the better half of the last 20 years. My experience has always been very positive. Whether it was advice, questions about changes in tax law and thresholds, as well as the actual tax document preparation, we have always been more that satisfied with her guidance, and expertise. Tax documents and forms preparation is always handled perfectly, on time and at rates that are more than fair. We have worked with Karen since 2004, and have followed her to now 4 different firms. We can recommend Karen for anything related to tax, planning and preparation without reservation!"

"My husband and I have been working with Karen for our business planning, tax preparation and tax planning for over five years now. Our experiences (advice, planning and actual document preparation) with Karen have been very positive and always rewarding. We have received excellent advice on tax planning and preparation as well as business planning. The tax document preparation has been wonderfully handled on time and at reasonable prices. Karen and her staff, with whom we have been working with for almost as long, have been very responsive to our needs and inquiries at all times. They were able to help us out a great deal when our accounting software was changed, spending many hours one-on-one working through the issues. We have always been satisfied by the services we have received. I would rate the organization very highly on business planning and valuation as well as tax knowledge response to my tax needs and questions, and my comfort level with sharing and dealing with such matters. I can unreservedly recommend Karen Lascelle and John G. Burke and Associates for your consideration. I have no doubt you will be completely satisfied with their services."

"We have always had a great relationship with Karen at John Burke and Associates. She is organized, knowledgeable and incredibly pleasant to work with. Will definitely use her services again!"

"Bottom line: Strongly recommended that you not invest your valuable time or monetary resources in this firm. Communication with them is vague and unprofessional if any type of response is provided at all. They are also not familiar with the most basic technology to get your taxes done.Billing was also unclear and/or changed continuously. Received a letter by snail mail for the start of 2023 saying "Due to staffing constraints, we cannot provide tax preparation services for your organization." Reviews are crucial for any company, and while most of my reviews are positive, individuals should be warned about this firm. In 2022, I went to this firm for one of my new companies after my previous accountant retired. Communication became difficult the minute I signed the agreement with them. First, RED FLAG. As a CFO, I was able to provide this firm with all the tax accounting information extremely early. After months of silence and/or excuses of the accountant being in a meeting, out to lunch, not in the office, etc. Second RED FLAG. The secretary finally asked why I was calling. When I said I needed my taxes finished, she seemed confused and in shock since it was after the tax deadline. I finally got a call back only to be told rudely that an "extension really didn't matter." Final RED FLAG.I understand if things are not in order, provided late, or are complicated, extensions can happen, but this was not the case. Finally, when taxes were done (late), I had to plea with them to send them securely digitally so I could get all the appropriate forms to my partners more efficiently. It took a while even then, as they said they were mailing everything first, and it was an inconvenience for them. Billing came months later by snail mail, and I paid in full to close this chapter. The silver lining is I did not have to reach out to them and let them know I was not moving forward with them. They actually did it for me by sending me that letter. Time is short - don't waste it on people and companies that don't care about you. Hope this review helps!"
