DMC-TA Don Madeline Corporation

"Honestly, the other reviewer's experience has not been mine. My experience is that Don and Madeline have been consummately professional and contentious, having done my taxes for years, taking over from Jane Thomas when she retired."

"Stay clear from this firm, from Don and Madeline. I own a small business doing general contracting, and my bookkeeping needs are extremely modest, mostly just reconciling bank statements. I contracted them to do my bookkeeping for 2016 and they continually increased their prices at every opportunity. Every facet of simple bookkeeping was considered extra and an additional fee. Instead of reducing their prices for the continued business I was giving them, they increased their fees, all the while acting as if they were doing me a favor. Additionally, before they released any of their work to me, they demanded payment up front, always the first order of business from these people.When I requested a copy of the Quickbooks file for the books they had completed, data that I had already paid for in full, they asked me up front for a $500 retainer. Don said the payment was a requirement and a condition for them to begin the process of checking whether they could even "retrieve" my data. Don and Madeline, who I spoke to separately, stated that they couldn't guaranty they could retrieve my information, and even if they did, they were going to charge me for said data. Data that I had already paid thousands of dollars for them to prepare. Both of them had a very cavalier attitude about my request, and were only concerned with collecting more money. A really disingenuous pair of individuals, I regret very much ever having conducted business with them. How anyone could conduct themselves like these two, conniving and discourteous, is beyond me. It's really a lose lose situation with business. Read the other reviews on Yelp. Take your business elsewhere."
