Trash customer service. Called multiple times to ask questions and deal with my account. Would get hung up or just transferred around.

UPDATE: you can see the original review below. note that it took them 6 MONTHS TO REPLY TO MY REVIEW and offer to talk to me about it to "make things right." does this sound like somebody you would want to do your taxes? ORIGINAL REVIEW: I had them file an amended return for me after I screwed up on my own. I think they did ok with it, I know they got it in the day before the deadline (which I am pretty sure wouldn't have happened had I not sent them several reminders.) I asked Brian if it would be ok if I emailed him periodically throughout the year with tax questions, even told him I would be happy to pay a consultation fee for this, he said that would be fine. I have since emailed him twice and haven't got any response. I thought I was hiring an accountant, but I realize now he wasn't willing(?) able(?) to do any more for me than I could have done myself with turbo tax. I am pretty sure his advice to me on how to set up a payment plan is going to get me into more trouble and am now looking to hire somebody else to advise me how to proceed.

Figured I would finally leave a review since Verdant has been nothing but a headache. I normally use Turbotax and file by myself but this year I had some things I wanted done by a professional (capital gains exemptions). I made this very clear when I visited. Once the return was sent to me for review, I noticed that he did not include the capital gains exemption because he did not believe I qualified for it. For context, this means that I was going to have to pay over $17k, yes, 17 thousand dollars. So I google capital gains exemptions. First IRS link, I click. Look at that, "if you move for work farther than 50 miles, you are exempt," which is exactly what I did and the "tax professional" was very aware of. So I had to ask him, again. Can you please file the exemption. His response was something along the lines of, Yep, we can try. Well we tried, and what do you know, instead of paying $17,000, I received around 4k. 21k swing..... unbelievable. I basically did the taxes myself. I complained about this months ago, they were surprisingly reluctant to offer me any discount or compensation for the $450 I spent for them to almost cost me 21k. Fast forward 6 months. I continue to get bills from these people. I have now had multiple e-mail conversations and phone calls to address this over the last 6 months. I paid a one time filing fee, yet they have me signed up for a monthly subscription? Not sure what for? That's why I'm complaining now because my god...does anyone know what they are doing? Do I really need to wonder if you clowns are going to send something to collections that I never signed up for? Regret ever coming here. Nothing but time wasted, money wasted, headaches, and stress.

I highly recommend this company!! I have worked with Verdant for 29 years now and am extremely pleased with their deep attentiveness, quick responsiveness and tremendous care they have handled all of our business needs with. A special thank you to Penny Booth, who has been a great help with all things tax and in helping us with our PPP loan information, you were always quick and helpful with your responses. Thank you to Kasey Wooden for being so good with our payroll and helpful with all questions. I have a very special thank you to Brian Goracke, Verdant's president, who has been an amazing help and great successor of his wonderful father, Ron Goracke. I really can't say enough about how special Brian has been as a consultant over the years. I am extremely grateful for him!!

Stephen Lambert with Verdant is seriously the best accountant I’ve ever had! If you fall within the group of people that tax time brings anxiety and worry, Stephen is your guy!

It seems as though Verdant has completely removed the human touch that was so pleasant and useful on the previous website. And 99.9 percent of the useful information about what you actually can do for a customer. It is rather like your actual business place in this time of plague, you can see a receptionist who doesn't know the answer to any of your questions, but no one else is there with information or a helping hand.
