I’ve been working with Ben Hicks at CJBS for my personal and small business taxes, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. Taxes usually stress me out, but Ben makes the whole process straightforward and manageable. He’s easy to talk to, patient, and explains things in plain English. I never feel like I’m bothering him with questions, and I always feel confident that everything is being handled correctly. It’s a huge relief knowing someone I trust is taking care of this for me. If you’re looking for a tax guy who actually cares and knows what he’s doing, I highly recommend Ben.
My organization works with CJBS, and I cannot recommend this team strongly enough. Andrew has been a great advocate and endless resource, and the rest of the team has always been nothing but eager to support us, even when we have presented challenging situations. We are not a huge organization, but we're large enough that we have a long list of vendors, and only a few of them seem interested in the kind of personal relationship our whole school community is built on. CJBS has always felt very close, and in authentic ways. I know that nonprofits change auditors all the time, but considering a different team is a nonstarter for me.
Darren helped me immensely with my business acquisition. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and provided phenomenal business advisory services beyond just accounting. He also connected me with other specialists to help ensure a smooth transition. Highly recommend!
This accounting firm is the Best! My wife and I have used CJBS for 5 years and are very impressed with how thorough the staff works on our return each year. For 2020, we worked with Laura Matthews for the Tax Organizer and tax preparation. My Mom has used CJBS for several years and she suggested my wife and I switch to CJBS for our own taxes. Sophie Chen, Tax Associate, was Mom's contact for any questions as her return was processed. Linda Hess sent the Tax organizer to me for Mom's return. The teamwork is very smooth. I also responded to Jeffrey Stuart, CPA & Managing Member on a couple questions for both returns. We highly recommend CJBS for income tax expertise. They have a full staff of experts and are great to work with each year.
CJBS has been our accounting firm for over 25 years. They are a firm that is professional, friendly and most of all well staffed with knowledgeable accountants in several departments within the firm. Our company, WE Carlson Corp., is very satisfied with the service and consultation CJBS has provided us all these years. We look forward to continuing our relationship for many more years.
