Reviews

John was very helpful and knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions regarding tax implications involving my LLC without any problem. Definitely looking to working with him in the future. Highly recommend!

Very helpful, friendly and trustworthy. Excellent service! Thank you John!

I have the pleasure of working with John and couldn’t be more impressed with his exceptional service. From the start, his professionalism and attention to detail stood out. He took the time to understand my financial situation and provided tailored advice that would help me in the long run. John is not only highly knowledgeable about tax regulations and financial planning, but he also excels at making complex concepts easy to understand. He is always available to answer any questions I have, and his responsiveness makes the entire accounting process smooth and stress-free.

John has been my CPA for a number of years now, and I have been extremely satisfied. He is patient, extremely knowledgable, and always looks out for my best interest. As someone in a service business myself, I recognize John's great customer service and integrity in fulfilling his fiduciary duties.

We were recommended by a close friend and local small business owner who mentioned John's attentiveness to details and good communication. My family experienced the same level of service, while most importantly saving us a good amount of money, including from previous returns.

Very helpful and knowledgeable even with limited/confusing information from client.

John, was awesome for us. He went above and beyond for my multiple companies and personal tax returns. We had significant issues from the prior years taxes and previous CPA that he was able to figure out quickly and efficiently. Even we had multiple changes in bookkeepers he was able to help us. I have already recommended John to many clients and friends and will continue to do so. Also, probably most importantly is that he is proactive in helping us make decisions that will save us money in taxes well before those deadlines approach.

John Duston has always been wonderful to work with. He is exceptionally smart and well versed. He also genuinely cares for his clients' best interests and I would highly recommend John to anyone looking for top not CPA services.

John has the heart of a teacher. Wanting to not only do great accounting work for you but help you understand the tax advantages that go along with your specific needs. Quality work at a great price!

I was introduced to John and had a pleasant interaction. He is professional and clearly states what is necessary for businesses to succeed. Thank you!!

I was introduced to John by another business professional, who spoke very highly of his expertise and professionalism. During our conversation, John promptly scheduled a convenient time to discuss my questions and concerns. He is an incredibly knowledgeable CPA and helped me develop a solid plan for our future endeavors. I was thoroughly impressed by his ability to address all my financial and tax questions, then provide valuable insights. I would like to extend my sincerest thanks to John for his assistance, and I believe he would be a valuable asset to any organization, project, or someone planning for their future.

Very thorough
