Hired on Thumbtack

Hired on Thumbtack

My business was growing faster than I could handle and I knew I had to hire an accountant ASAP. It was a bit unusual to be messaged via Thumbtack, so I naturally researched the heck out of Mohamed before I hired him and connected my accounts. But now a few months in, so far everything's going great. He did several things for me and goes beyond just doing your usual books, always answering literally within minutes to anything you need. I asked him to set up an LLC for me, and honestly, it's so much more rewarding to help someone else put food on their family's table than to give your money to a big corporation like Legalzoom. He also has a bookkeeper - Sandy. She's one of the kindest people you'll ever talk to on the phone. I can't wait to get to the day when my books are clean and I just focus on my business 100% instead of always having to be a firefighter to everything in sight. I know Mohamed and Sandy will play a big role in getting me to exactly what I have envisioned.

We were looking for a local accountant to help us with our personal tax filings. Although Mohamed is on the east coast, and we're on the west coast, his reviews were so great that we reached out. MMA made filing our state and federal taxes much less stressful, and he walked us through every step and detail along the way. His rates are so low that we would have paid double. We look forward to working with Mr. Aalen again for financial and tax planning, along with our 2020 filing, and we highly recommend his services.

Mr Aalen has been working with me on my back tax problems. He really has a lot of experience working with the IRS. He was the best person for this problem because ive worked with other tax professionals before. I feel that If he was my original accountant I would not even be in this position. I also relocated to another state and he is still working with me as if I'm still there and hasn't missed a beat and I can always get in touch with him unlike my past experience. He really knows how to take away any confusion, concerns and frustrations you may have . I have recommended him to 2 of my family members and they are very pleased!

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  The pricing is based on a few factors, the main factor is the level of complexity. For example, our hourly bookkeeping rates are not as high as our business consulting rates. All prices will be provided upfront and in writing, and if you need a detailed explanation, one will be provided.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  The most common answer given in this profession is…. It depends. If you are a client that needs tax preparation assistance, I will schedule a meeting to go over the previous return as well as give you a detailed list of items that I need in order to prepare your current return. If, for example you are in need of tax resolution assistance, first I will send you a client questionnaire that will help me assess your case and take action quickly. If you are a non-profit that files a 990, in order to maintain your status, you must file at least a 990N form every three years. I say all that to say that each client will be handled differently, but the goal in each interaction is to make sure you receive quality service at a reasonable cost.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Georgia, and a Master of Business Administration degree from Western Governors University. I am licensed by the state of Georgia as a CPA and I am an Enrolled Agent as well. I am also a certified QuickBooks pro-advisor. Since the tax changes this year are the largest in 30 years, my continuing professional education for 2018 was triple that of any other year.
