GRF CPAs & Advisors 4550 Montgomery Avenue, Bethesda, MD 20814

"Had my identity stolen about 3 months after filing here. Worst year of my life. Something is going on here where client's information is being given out or stolen. This place is terrible and not recommended at all."

"Worst place I ever worked for. Lots of dishonest and unprofessional individuals. When you bring up issues or concerns, you will be gaslit and they will deflect. Suddenly you will become the problem and target when you point out issues or question anyone or anything. There are very few individuals who are accountable."

"EDIT: My review keeps getting removed, I have a feeling it's GRF doing damage control. There is another 5 star review here by a family member of the managing partner. I worked here in IT for 3.5 years, no issues, then all of a sudden out of the blue the CTO started acting weird, asked me to install tracking software on a partners home, personal computer. Computer did not belong to GRF and had this person's family accounts on it. I hesitated, said I didn't feel comfortable doing this without the user knowing. Attempted to call the CTO to discuss it, no answer. Emailed him explaining why it was unethical and borderline illegal, was told "you don't get to make that decision, do what you're told, you're getting a negative review this year" despite doing nothing wrong except not allow him to spy on our partners personal computer. He was "disappointed" that I didn't blindly follow orders (have emails to back this up) Immediately started looking elsewhere for employment, notified HR and left. Can't work for untrustworthy C level employees that have access to everything and apparently felt like spying even more. If you ever brought a personal computer into this office, you should probably wipe it. No clue what he was looking for or why he decided to track a female partner working at GRF, but was not going to be a part of it. Crazy what those with some power will go to to stalk their coworkers. When an IT director doesn't want records in writing that's a HUGE red flag. When your morals outweigh possible illegal actions ordered by your superior, it's "disappointing", even when related to security..."

"Lots of internal tension & low pay for accountants for the hours worked. Fine another firm to work for. The nepotism is real here. Too many family relations (one of the latest google reviews is by a relative of the current managing partner, go figure). . Do not recommend."

"I started working for GRF approximately 8 months ago and I couldn't be happier! Great people, culture and work/life balance - it is truly the best place to work!"
