Charlie has been doing my taxes for years and is wonderful.

After giving an estimate, Ray decided it was ok to almost double his price with out any communication until I asked why the price increase. Highly recommend going somewhere else.

Did my taxes wrong and is now refusing to fix the issue. Contacted BBB and attorney general.

Excellent service. Rich is doing my taxes for the last 14 years.

Useless beyond comparison. Went to Charlie Sapochetti in early 2020 to file my wife and I's 2019 taxes, as recent immigrants to the US we wanted a professional to do our taxes so they were done properly. We would have been better off burying them in warm compost. Charlie briefly checked my Employment documents then filed the wrong form (a 1040 instead of 1040NR) with the wrong filing status. When we realised his mistake he tried to string us along then after being threatened with us contacting the Better Business Bureau he filed a 1040X to amend, but didn't send an amended return with the form. We finally heard back (almost a full year later) regarding the 1040X and now he claims not to have the forms needed to file our taxes correctly, despite them being readily available on the IRS website. If you enjoy stress, ask for his help, otherwise avoid at all cost.


Richard James is very good at this work, and can work out complicated situations easily. Service is very affordable. The reason I'm giving 4 stars rather than 5 is that communication is sometimes inconsistent - like, they may just forget to call you back. Some emails get a quick response, but some do not. So you need to be mindful to take initiative and call them to check on status or give new information, but if you do that, you'll get a great value and taxes done correctly and find problems or savings you may not have found otherwise.

Mr. Ray James is one of the most extraordinary tax preparers that we are so fortunate to have. In 2016 when my family moved back to Boston, a local CPA has severely messed up our IRS and State tax filing and caused us huge penalty instead refunds. Then we found Ray James from a church friend who has helped their taxes filing over 20 years. Unlike many CPAs, Ray James is always very careful reviewing your files first, he is willing to listen no matter how ids-organized we are, answering your calls even when it is not the tax seasons; he always explains what the new tax rules are, and provides options what our best way to handle issues. To my family, Mr. James' integrity and sincerity has earned our utmost respect. Ever since we found Mr. James, tax filing is no longer a huge headache because we know that Ray James will do an excellent job. We would highly recommend Ray James's tax services to anyone! Thank You, Ray !!!


We have used James Associates services for over 10 years for both our personal and our business accounting needs. The folks here are professional, skilled, honest, and they always see that your needs are met, and that the work is done correctly and in a timely fashion. Highly recommended!
