Michael E Hendricks, CPA PLLC

"I used Michael Hendricks as an accountant for 2-3 years as a new business. Michael seemed great at first, but we began to run into one problem after another as time went on. First, Michael, who was responsible for filing & helping me pay quarterly taxes, somehow didn't file for multiple quarters. I admit that I should have been on top of this myself, but I was relying on this accountant who claimed to have me taken care of to do his job in a timely manner. Then, I began using his team for bookkeeping. The first bookkeeper was completely incompetent & suggested that I pay my contractors from my personal bank account when I was set up as an S-corp, which was just strange. Obviously, it is best to pay my employees via my business account & I definitely dont have the money to be paying my contractors via personal funds when I have the business funds available. We moved on to a new bookkeeper at that point. When I thought things would look better with someone new, I found myself having to ask for any new monthly books. I was promised monthly statements, but would go months in a row with no updates until I demanded someone send me an update. Then, on top of all of this, there was a tax that was entirely unpaid during my entire time with this team. As a creative, I was relying on Michael and his team to help me with this part of my business, which I made CLEAR to Michael. I knew that I had no clue what I was getting into, and figured outsourcing this was my best bet. I trusted Michael and his team to help me with my finances as a small business, but it was a disaster through and through. If you are an accountant or in finance & already know everything you need, Michael can do the filing. But, if you need someone to guide you or help you as a business owner, I would strongly suggest against it. I am now left with unpaid taxes that I need to recover from, late fees & years of financial stress. I have hired a new accountant who has opened my eyes to just how awful this first accounting partnership was."
