Askey Askey & Associates Hollywood Rd, Leonardtown

We have been looking for a reliable and fairly priced CPA for some time now and I can sadly say that Askey is not it. We expressed during our first meeting with them that we wanted to be able to ask questions and understand what was happening with our taxes. We were promised that this would be the case and were told that an individual return would start at $650. We understood that this was the starting price and even asked if it would be double if we had to file separately and were told that it wasn't likely. We were also told that there was a 4-6 week turn around time. Nearly 6 weeks after taking our taxes to Askey, we had barely heard anything. We initially met with Catherine Askey and she was not the same person that actually did our taxes. For that reason we had to send several e-mails reiterating information that we had already covered. We were then charged for that time even though we had already provided half of that information. Once we finally did get our taxes back nearly 8 weeks later, there were errors and things that were missed. We were also told that our original bill was going to be nearly $3,000 but they "kindly" knocked that down to $1,800 (when we got the bill it was practically $1,900). This included them charging us for their time during the initial client meeting which I have never had happen at any other firm. After going back and forth they did eventually fix our taxes, but refused to go over them with us without charging us more. They also kindly informed us that if these taxes in particular were audited that they would charge us more to fix any problems. We understood that our taxes were complicated this year which is why we sought help from a CPA. However, their prices are outrageous and do not meet the service that you are provided with. Needless to say, we will never be returning to Askey in the future.

Askey Askey & Associates is a highly competent CPA firm that makes quality client service a top priority. My experience has only been positive since transitioning from a large, global auditing and tax services company to Askey Askey more than five years ago. I was particularly impressed with their professionalism and talent when they successfully guided me through an IRS audit-like review of my taxes which had been prepared by the global tax services company I used while living and working overseas. I confidently recommend Askey Askey.

We have worked with Askey Askey & Associates for more than 25 years. During this time our company has grown significantly and its needs have changed greatly as well. Throughout this time much has changed as it relates to the kind of products we produce, how we produce it, where we have produced it and how we have sold it. One thing that has been consistent is our relationship with Bob and Cathy and their dedicated and hard working team of accounting professionals.at Askey Askey & Associates.

I have been using Askey & Askey (Leonardtown) for my tax preparation and tax planning for two years. The organization has been preparing my small business tax documents and our personal tax documents. I have worked with Tara "TJ" Ghrist, who guides me as the 2nd grader I am in the tax world. She is beyond knowledgeable and seemingly “likes” this tax stuff. I have received excellent advice on tax planning and preparation as well as preparation of all needed tax return documents. The tax document preparation has been superbly handled (while using electronic options and docking stations) on time and at reasonable prices. TJ and her team have been very responsive to my needs and my inquiries. I have always been satisfied by the services I have received. I would rate the organization very highly on tax knowledge, response to my tax needs and questions, and my comfort level with sharing and dealing with such matters. I can unreservedly recommend Askey & Askey for your consideration. I have no doubt you will be completely satisfied with their services and their pricing
