Individual Tax Preparation
Joe did our 2015 tax returns. I hired a pro because we started an Airbnb and acquired a rental property, so things got complicated. I was a little hesitant to do everything remotely, but Joe couldn't have made things easier. He was quick to respond to my questions, clarified things with me if needed, and completed everything within a week, all for a very reasonable price (at least compared to local accountants near me!) I will continue to have Joe do my taxes from now on! Thanks Joe!

Business Tax Preparation
Joseph Starzyk, CPA provided accounting services for me as part of the steps I needed to take in launching a certain phase of my small (solo) business. For one thing, his response time upon hire was phenomenal; his process was highly professional - he gave me great confidence as an expert in the solo business world - and he delivered excellent, accurate, thorough and top-quality results. I'm looking forward to future work with Joe.

Joe has done great work for us for two years. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He responds to your questions quickly and thoroughly. I highly recommend him to those in need of CPA services.

Joe was outstanding! I attempted to do taxes myself (as usual) and it turned out very badly this year, due to earning income in several states and other matters. I knew doing it myself (even through TurboTax.com), the numbers just weren't looking right. I uploaded the documents to Joe's secure site, and he went right to work. Although I still owe (which was expected), he saved me a lot of money in comparison to what I was expecting to pay. In fact, I'm actually getting a refund from one state where I was expecting to owe! He was quick, accurate, accessible, and a pleasure to work with! I will absolutely be using him in the future!

FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?I like to bill a fixed fee whenever possible. I would get an idea of the work required, quote you a price, and do my best to stick by it. For consulting and other services where a fixed fee is not reasonable, my hourly rates are generally between $120 and $150.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?I like to get to know who I am dealing with. If a business, a general idea of what you do, how the business is run, how you make money, etc. If an individual, just a general "what's going on in your life?" is all I'm after. Both of these will help me provide better service.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?I have over 9 years of relevant tax experience. A majority of that I did while working in two large regional CPA firms. I have and continue to work with a varied group of individuals and small businesses to provide the services they need. I received both my Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Accountancy from Bentley University located in Waltham, MA - recently ranked the #2 business school in the country according to USA Today.
