We were very disappointed with our experience when we had our taxes done here last year. The cost was outrageous and the service was poor. They are aware that some Mayo employees get reimbursed $600 for the cost of tax preparation and charge these people $750. If you qualify for this reimbursement, I recommend negotiating the price before they are aware of this. We found out after the fact that this benefit is taxed, so the out-of-pocket cost is much larger than the $150 we had expected. There is nothing complicated about our taxes to justify this cost (W-2, student loan tax forms, mortgage interest, etc.). Despite the outrageous cost, we decided to go with them last year because we thought we would get a higher level of service and advice on how we can minimize our tax liability in

I had a meeting with Greg Epsom to help an international client who wants to purchase real estate here in Rochester. Greg was very professional, knowledgeable and flexible to meet with us and an attorney. This was my first experience with Smith Schafer & Associates and I look forward to doing business with them in the future.

Great presentation -- at the right level of content. Be sure to define terms in the slides -- the speaker generally did. (HOH is not used daily in my industry, for example.) Thanks for doing this!

Jill's presentation was thorough and very helpful. She made confusing tax rules understandable. I was most impressed. Bob Church
