Bowling Franklin & Co Llp

Perhaps other CPAs might be better but I found out this year by another CPA that this firm’s CPA (initial LL) completely ripped me off and didn’t do much to help me getting my deductions right.
I had some complicated cases with house sale but I did most job to get all the information together and as we all know, CPAs can use their professional software to sort things out these days.
Now, I got bill of $ 1250!!! even after I told her that I wouldn’t be able to pay more than $ 600 since that was the highest quote I got from other CPAs.
I told the firm secretary that I wouldn’t pay anything more than $ 600 since that was what I told the CPA and I don’t see the reason for paying double of what I told her to pay.
The worst part is that a new CPA I found this year said very little deduction was made last year even if I gave the list of expenses to this firm’s CPA, so I ended up paying additional tax and he needs to fix this this year.
I will never work with this firm again. One good thing that I got from working with this firm is that now I review all Tax return thoroughly to make sure all necessary deductions are filed in correctly.
