Schmitt & Associates, LLC

"We had an incredibly disappointing experience using Schmitt and Associates for our taxes this year. While we submitted all of our information to the tax preparers by February, they ended up taking over 5 additional months to file our taxes, applied for an extension and this resulted in over $2000 penalties and interest out of our pocket. We trusted them as our tax professionals to go over our information in a timely manner, while effectively keeping up with deadlines, and would have expected that they might communicate with us about options around extensions (such as making a partial payment to avoid the penalties). The extension was not needed due to our lateness of preparation, it was solely due to the neglect or inability for our tax preparer to file our taxes within a reasonable amount of time. The only excuse we received after calling and emailing them regularly to check in, concerned about the length of time it was taking, was “you have a lot of stuff”. We are incredibly disappointed in how this was handled, and honestly feel ripped off to have to pay for their incompetence. At minimum, Schmitt and Associates should have paid the penalty and interest that THEY accrued on our tax account, however that was not offered. The tax preparation fee was almost $3000, plus our $2000 penalties = a $5000+ lesson in who not to trust with our tax preparation needs. We do not recommend this company to assist you with filing taxes, we no longer trust them with our financial/tax needs and will never be using them again."

"Schmitt & Associates have done both my personal and business accounting/returns for many years and I highly recommend them for accounting needs. Being in real estate, I have roughly 15-20 different entities that Schmitt & associates handle annually. I have always been extremely impressed with the level of service as they have been diligent, detailed oriented and always hit any deadlines."

"Why can’t I give 0 stars? Do not even bother. This place is an absolute mess. I have to fix my filings for the year I entrusted them to help me. Too much to explain here but these people don’t listen, they don’t follow through and when they actually do, EVERYTHING is messed up. I now have to pay another company to fix what these people (way too many people in communication clearly bc no one knows how to delegate positions here, or everyone is picking up the slack from the last person) did and did not do. I have delinquent reports now bc of the negligence and lack of follow through that I received from these people. Seriously, you’d be better off throwing your money in the sewer than entrusting these people with your business and taxes. Such a headache. Please just save yourself."

"Bryan Schmitt has been my family’s tax accountant for 15 years. His firm also handles all of the corporate returns for us. I recommend Bryan and his team to all of my friends and associates. They are available throughout the year to assist with any tax planning/questions we have. Personal service is their calling card."

"Bryan has been our accountant for years. He and his team are professional, responsive, and accurate. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for an accountant for their business."
