Proctor Charles D, CPA

Since Mr. Proctor had done my mother-in-law’s and husband’s taxes (we have filed separately for many years), and I was in need of expertise due to the law concerning «forgiveness» mortgage loans (otherwise my taxes are very straight forward and VERY uncomplicated and have done them for many years on my own using Turbo Tax), I went to Mr. Proctor on FEBRUARY 27^th and gave everything that he said he needed to do my taxes. Since I had not heard from him by APRIL 4^th, I called to inquire on the status of my taxes. I was assured by Mr. Proctor that they would be done in «5 days». I said that would be on by the 10^th, and he said, yes they would be done by that date. On Saturday, APRIL 13^th, I called to say my taxes had not arrived in the mail and he seemed surprised. He then quickly added that he still had about 20 more taxes to complete and mine was probably in that pile. EXCUSE ME! This man had had my tax documents now for 46 days and could not tell me IF they were done or not? He further went to say that they would be done «tomorrow» (Sunday) and he would call me. Guess what — No telephone call. On the 15^th — the tax due date @ 11am, he tells me that not to worry that they will be filed, but if I didn’t like the work he was doing, «come and get my documents and go find someone else to do them!» Right! where do you find a tax expert on tax day? Bottom line, my taxes were not filed — HE FILED AN EXTENSION — NOT BECAUSE I HAD NOT DONE MY DUE DILIGENCE BY PROVIDING HIM WITH THE INFORMATION THAT HE NEEDED TO DO HIS JOB, BUT BECAUSE HE HAD NOT COMPLETED THEM! He had my tax documents for 48 days, AND still did not complete them on time. If he was unable to do them in a timely fashion, OR if there was problem, he should have said so. As such, I must question his honesty and integrity as a CPA as well as his competence.

Usually my taxes are not complicated. However this year I had few tax related questions on which I really needed a professional opinion. I was looking for different CPA near my area on Unilocal and that’s when I ran into Proctor Charles. I just wrote him a quick email asking if he can provide quick tax consultation.
I was surprised at how quickly not only he acknowledged my email but also provided answers to my questions over the email. I didn’t have to go anywhere to get my questions answered. If in future I have to look for a CPA to get my taxes done I will definitely go to Charlie.
