Mendenhall Tax Services

The page says Jill has retired (((

Jill was extremely rude, I was in the area asking a questions to a CPA in the same complex. Unfortunately the gentlemen was too busy to speak. Being at the business complex for the first time I was lost and looking for their office. When I finally found the office I asked the receptionist, if this was privately owned establishment or a franchise. Because I prefer privately-​owned tax firms. They usually have better customer service. Jill then jolted out of her office opened the front door and read to me the sign that said «No Soliciting,» in away that was rude. Then slammed the door on my face. I then reopened the door and told her this is how you treat your prospective clients. I will never refer her to anyone. Stay away… horrible horrible horrible.

I had some concerns on my tax returns relating to Options, Stocks and RSUs and sent Jill an e-​mail with some initial details. She was initially busy (that time of year) but provided me with some useful general documents on stock-​based compensation.
When she freed up we exchanged a few e-​mails and she was able to direct me to the information that I needed within my own documentation, assuaging my fears of overpayment.
If I have any *real* issues with my taxes, I am certain that I will try and get Jill Mendenhall to help me though it.

I had made a real mess of my taxes — missing deadlines, not filing the right paperwork, you know the drill. And so I expected to get an earful from a tax accountant. «How could you screw this up???» But not Jill.
No, she loved the challenge of sorting it all out, figuring out the exact right strategies to get me through this. And even made me feel empowered to make smart choices in the future.
So if you’re dreading cleaning up a tax mess of your own — or just want to do things right in the first place, Jill is for you. Friendly, smart, and, most of all, understanding.
Highly recommended!

I called Jill to inquire about my taxes as I am working here on a one year contract from Canada. Although my situation is a little complicated, Jill spent her time going over each step and helped me understand what I needed to do in order to get my taxes completed properly. Even after 30 minutes, she decided to recommend me to another accountant as they would have a better handle on non-​resident taxes. She is more than helpful and definitely isn’t after your money, rather she is more interested in providing A+ service. Thank you Jill — from your friendly Canadian eh!

I called Jill for an appointment. She gave me an analysis on the spot and she was very sweet. She helped me make some good decisions. And she listened to my one problem area and offered a solution, right then! Talk about bending over backwards, to make a good first impression! She has my vote.

Nobody likes doing their taxes but Jill will like doing yours. No matter what the situation may be she always seems to put a positive spin on the situation and is happy to go above and beyond the duty of other tax professionals.
I met with Jill several times in 2012 with an array of issues. She helped me to find a comfortable resolution and was sure to follow up throughout the entire process.
I strongly suggest to anyone who needs tax work to use Jill, wether it be for regular returns, amended returns, back taxes or other things that I have not yet experienced. I have no doubt that if my tax situation goes sour again, Jill will be the first person I reach out to.
Thank you Jill!

During the busiest time of the tax filing season, I dumped a huge mess on Jill’s desk. I had failed to file a 1099, both the IRS and state were after me, and I was buried in a nightmare of confusing tax paperwork after a death in the family. With a wave of her magic wand, Jill organized a pile of chaos into a crisp, thin folder. Just a couple signatures, and she even sent my tax forms in for me!

Jill is awesome to work with as echoed by other reviewers.
Here is my experience:
I recently reached out to Jill regarding a couple of stock related tax planning questions that I had. At no point during our meeting did she try to push any of the services. In fact, she helped me understand the nuances of various types of stock and armed me with enough information that I could do the planning myself.
It’s extremely rare to see someone with such a work ethic these days.
Highly recommended!

I emailed Jill about a specific tax planning situation I was in. She gave me some basic advice and then referred me to someone else she knew that was more of an expert in that particular issue.
Whoa! So appreciated. I’ll be back whenever I have tax concerns outside of this specific issue!

Great job, easy to get along with.

I am a small business owner who first met Jill at a seminar she gave about sole proprietorship and taxes.
Firstly, the seminar was stellar. Her powerpoint slides were clear and to the point, and unlike some, she did not simply repeat what was on the slide, but expounded upon them and provided a ton of helpful information.
Not only that, the resources she provided to help us out such as links and pamphlets were right on topic and meaningful for us.
After the seminar, I have had the pleasure of keeping in contact with her, and she has gone above and beyond to help me and answer all of my «silly» questions. She is excellent at explaining details, and the «why’s» of the tax process. Her demeanor is gentle and non-​threatening while being competent and confident.
Her knowledge and expertise have fit in perfectly to my needs.
I would recommend any small business owner approach her with their tax needs with confidence.
