Reviews
"Absolutely not recommended and no details will be shared. I was a client for over two years and departed with many problems created by extremely poor service. I share this review only as a caution for anyone considering this organization. Marie will likely refute and not take any responsibility."
"Marie and Ashley are very skilled at what they do. They take the time to guide you through each process, answer questions you may have regarding bookkeeping, all while keeping you up to date on the newest laws & regulations. We find it quite pleasant working with Accounting Specialists. Being business owners ourselves we appreciate their professionalism, expertise and guidance. We would certainly recommend their firm to others in our community."
"This is a cautionary tale! I started using Accounting Specialists in 2015 both for my business and personal taxes. They were okay the first year, but worse every year since. I sold my business with commercial property in 2017, and Marie gave me very conflicting advice on my tax implications. She was extremely difficult to get answers from either by email or verbally. Sometimes I would ask the same thing repeatedly before getting very clipped responses via email. This year, I gave her all my documentation before mid March in order to avoid yet another extension. She never touched it until 3-4 days prior to the due date. When she did get it done, she did not want to even discuss the return, saw no need to go over anything. This summer I gave all my information from the last 3 years to a real CPA. I now have his personal record for the most money recovered for filing amended returns, over $60K! This is not an exaggeration. Marie did not file my S corp information correctly, failed to account for $200K in building cost basis, failed to use previous depreciation schedules, etc, etc. My CPA said it was both lack of knowledge and sloppiness. He also gave me an education in the title of "accounting" and a true CPA. Apparently, you can call yourself an "accounting firm" when you have NO formal education at all! Marie may be able to do some basic bookkeeping, but her firm is NOT competent for any tax work beyond simple returns. She is definitely NOT a real accountant!"
"I cannot recommend Accounting Specialists of Asheville enough! Marie Young is a kind, patient, and compassionate individual and a skilled, thoroughly competent accountant. I believe she also travels extensively to teach other professionals in the field. Her business is a true family affair, as her husband greeted me when I came in and took care of the front of house duties. If you want to support local business, good people, and get the best accounting advice available, I highly recommend Marie and her staff!"
"We feel like we have won the lottery with Marie Young & Ashley Dalton of Accounting Specialists. As a small business and being self-employed they have saved us so much time and worry. While no one really enjoys paying taxes, they have actually made it stress free. More importantly, if we ever have questions they not only answer but also help educate us to make informed decisions. I would recommend them with confidence and have!"
