I&U CPA

i had an email exchange with them looking into using their services, the conversation quickly turned into a chat about how much they charge even before we had any foreplay, not even on the phone. from the figures i was given i understood it was a luxurious service but i said that if at the end i/​m happy i can deal with it. i asked them to call me so i get to know them, it is understandable that i don/​t like to get in bed with strangers. the call, or email, never came though leaving me slightly heart broken.
ended up with someone recommended by a friend off the island, in the borough of queens, i think it was fine, ¹⁄₃ of the price, and so far i didn’t contract any disease so i think i/​ll keep going there.

I have only even spoken over the phone with I&U, but I was so impressed at the level of honesty and integrity of the CPA that I spoke to that I had to leave a review.
Having identified my specific set of concerns and situation, the man I spoke to actually talked me out of doing business with them, and advised that I maintain my relationship with my current accountant. He could’ve easily taken my money and done my taxes, but it wasn’t in my best interest for him to do so and I am grateful that he was upfront about it. Not to mention all the free advice and how he thoroughly explained things to me in such a kind, patient, and straightforward manner.
If this is any indicator of the the way they do business, then they are a true gem!

I&U CPA was awesome to work with! Best decision we made! We’ve always done our own taxes, but this year, after getting married, moving (husband and I lived in different states then moved to NY together, which meant filing in 3 states), having rental income and other investments, we finally decided our taxes were too complicated and hired a CPA. We looked around quite a bit for a good CPA that we could trust and got some recommendations from friends as well as Unilocal reviews. I&U CPA was one of the only places with great reviews and VERY reasonable rates. They were also the fastest to respond to my questions.
The whole process was so painless and easy. Unlike other places where I’d have to arrange an in person meeting and bring in physical documents (ex. H&R block), I was able to upload everything to a secure portal from home. Even though I’m sure they were very busy with other clients, I always felt like we were a priority. I got updates and emails from them at all hours of the day, even well past their work hours. Responses were always within a few hours, if not minutes. And within a week, our taxes were completed and filed, stress-​free!
To my surprise, the extra cost of going with a professional vs. doing it ourselves using turbo tax paid off too. Before going with I&U CPA, we tried turbo tax and H&R block’s online program, and every which way we tried manipulating the numbers, the refund calculated using the 2 programs always came out within 100 dollars difference of each other. We felt we had a good idea of what our refund would be this year. I&U CPA, however, was able to find other deductions that added up to over an additional $ 1000 in tax refunds. They also ran an analysis to see if we’d benefit more from filing married jointly or single.
So if you’re looking for a CPA, just stop looking here. You are going to get amazing, personalized service from really professional, knowledgeable and experienced people at a really affordable price! You can thank me later.

I started working with I&U CPA in 2011. Back then I had a horrendous payroll tax accounting situation and disorganized books of my small business due in part to my staff’s overwhelming workload. He straighten up my tax situation and accounting for my S-Corp…he deals with IRS all year round and knows the tax code like the back of his hand. Anyways… I got married two years ago. My husband has real estate investment LLCs. We have been using his tax preparation, planning, and accounting services since then. He kept us and our businesses in line ever since. They will take the time to listen and understand your situation and guide you thru for the best financial outcome. Very approachable and affordable accountants for a NY CPA firm.

I used I&U CPA for my last year’s tax preparation for my small business and had a great experience. They were very diligent and found errors in my previous year’s return and filed an amended return to get a higher refund. They also spent face to face time to understand my situation and were available over the phone and email for any questions (my previous tax accountant was not as responsive). I thought they were very reasonably priced for a New York CPA. It’s hard to find an affordable accounting firm in Manhattan. I will definitely continue using them for tax advice for me personally and my business and have recommended them to my friends.

My experience with I&U CPA was excellent. I created an LLC in 2013 with 2 foreign partners, which made the tax returns more complex than usual. I was expecting, because of the unusual complexity of an otherwise simple return, that I would have to pay a steep fee. But no, the fee was small and I also received a lot of great advice and guidance that might have come with an extra charge at another company.
All in all, having I&U CPA do my tax returns turned out to be great value for money.

We’ve been working with I&U CPA for a number of years now and I feel confident that they look at things from every angle to make sure we are getting all the deductions we could possibly qualify for. This is especially important since we run our own small business.
Its president is easy to get a hold of if we have any questions and he is always patient and precise which is good since I have no idea what I’m doing regarding my bookkeeping half the time!
I’ve received scary notices from the IRS which freaked me out, but have never seen him panic. He just handles everything with calm and it all works out. They know all of the ins-​and-​outs of dealing with taxes. I’ve happily referred many people to I&U CPA.

Last year my tax return was not as easy as I hoped cause I earned some extra money from my freelancing geek. Also I moved to another company for my new full time job. So I went to I&U CPA to get some help on my tax report. Let me tell you, they did an AMAZING job. Not only they were very knowledgeable (not like HR block. I had a horrible experience with them!), showed me a continuously great service. They even called me 2 months later and asked how things were going, which was pretty impressive. I would highly recommend I&U CPA to anyone who is looking for a topnotch CPA. I’m going back to them this year for sure.

Nice company! Very professional and experienced CPAs.
