Tembo has been a trusted and reliable asset to my small architectural practice for the past 4 years. Being a boutique sized firm requires reliance on others experience, and Tembo brings that expertise to all our accounting needs. Whether its a quick questions or long term strategy discussion, the team at Tembo has been reliable and professional in helping make my firm work successfully for me and my team.

I do not have the words for the peace of mind that Tembo CPAs brings me. I sleep soundly at night knowing that my small business is in the best of hands! They are communicative, transparent, and explain everything plainly. I cannot recommend them enough!

Fantastic people and it all starts at the top with Ben. He is super on top of it and hires the best support for his clients (had a great partnership network too!). Despite being a "smaller fish in Ben's pond," he has helped to navigate some very difficult times for our business and family. I feel very to lucky to have been introduced to him.

We initially came to Tembo CPAs because they were advertised to be the accountants for small businesses. In our first year, we had a responsive account manager who was proactive and worked with us to get our business setup appropriately. In the second year, we had to beg for an end of year meeting, which didn't happen. We had to beg for last minute advice on what to do, which didn't happen. The week before tax week we had more questions on what steps we could take. Three calls and multiple emails later, the only answer was welp - I'm not done your taxes but you could always do an IRA (this is no surprise). We had Tembo submit an extension on our behalf without even informing us first. We have been trying to get our taxes in order since November. They were just submitted the last week of May. If you advertise: "Tembo was built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs. Yes, we are a CPA firm. We are proactive in our tax planning" then you should probably do just that. I get it, people leave. The level of service shouldn't be at a ZERO with leaving clients hanging for weeks, if not months on end. If you own a small business, do not use Tembo. They don't take the proactive steps that you need to be able to run your business.

My name is Kevin Venardos, owner/operator of the Venardos Circus, an intimate theatrical circus performed inside of a tent. We tour our show all over the country 45 weeks a year, 8 shows a week, in more than a dozen states. From the intricacies of state sales tax, to tracking ticket, concessions, merchandise and private event revenues AND a gajillion different expense classifications… our “Little Circus That Could” is a complex mini juggernaut! All of these revenue streams and expenses need to be sorted and tracked… the data volume is overwhelming! Working across a half dozen different platforms, the AMAZING team at TEMBO CPAs have transformed the way that we understand our own business, and enabled me and my team to make far more intelligent choices about where and when we travel, how much we spend, where we can save, and how to best plan for a brilliant future. It would be IMPOSSIBLE to overstate how grateful we are for their tireless work, and how their support now allows us to fearlessly dream BIG. If you are a solo entrepreneur or a large collection of businesses that want to integrate, run more seamlessly and efficiently, and literally transform your own understanding of the business you do, pick up the phone and call the folks at TEMBO CPAs. I could not be more proud or happy to recommend them!

So far not a great experience with this firm. Non responsive and charging a lot for doing somewhat little.
