Best Accounting Lessons Kansas City Near Me

Barry McCockiner: MPA students beware! Their program is an extension of their business school, with faculty crossing between biz and public affairs classes. Don't do your MPA here. Go to a school with a dedicated public affairs department. An MPA from here is worthless and a waste of your time!

Marco Holguin: Excelente lugar

Katelyn McAlister: Loved my experience going here and all the support that was given.

Chris Lehman: For a business school, they do not care about continuing education students. If you work a normal business schedule, good luck completing your degree in a timely manner.Examples:Required Class for your degree? Only available Tues/Thurs 2:30pmNeed to see a counselor? Office closes at 5pmTry to enroll in fall classes where your summer class is the prerequisite? Have to see counselor.Happen to be on campus when you realize this? Empty counselor office, but no walk-ins allowed.Try to set same day appointment for later that day? Don't allow same day appointmentsGraduated from UMKC last year, decide to re-enroll? Have to pay application fee again.It's a good thing this place is the cheapest option in Kansas City, because it's also the worst.

Shannon Hilton: Well it has it's ups and downs here, but I really like the student atmosphere. It feels like we are a team, and I feel like I can ask anyone for help. The student body is really diverse, and I feel like I've learned a lot about people. I also feel confident that I am receiving a quality education. I recommend this school for business and accounting majors.

Insight Ind. LP.: The worst tax Accountant Agency in town. I came to her office on 08/20/2019 for services and assistance with providing direction for my business. My appointment was at 10:00. I came on time. I’ve consulted with other Accountants and they never made you pay a consult fee, however, they did. I came on time and the first thing I was asked for was my consultant fee ($250). I paid the fee, was a little taken back due to having to pay before you even see the accountant, however, I paid. I waited, it was 10:20 when I asked the the secretary when I would see the account at which time she advised me that she was not actually in the office and was running late from a previous appointment and would be coming soon. The accountant came at 10:30 or so, for a 10:00 appointment. I was very upset and wanted to leave, however I stayed at the request of my partner.My partner and I go into her office to discuss the best option for our business structure and she tells us that she would start the new corporation and file the required paperwork. I requested that this be completed in December so that I could be ready to get everything we needed so that we could be in place on January 1, 2020. At this time we paid her an additional $405.December comes around and I received no call and no information. I call the office and her secretary answers and proceeds to ask questions about the type of filing, when it was supposed to be filed etc all, information that should be known if they kept appropriate record. All this and my $605 has been cashed and no real work done.At this time I’m very upset. Marquita gives me a call back several days later stating she understood that she was to start the filing of the business in January. I tell her, specifically and explicitly, that was not the conversation and she becomes indignant. She tells me she may need to contact me when I’ve calmed down. I explain I don’t need her services and would like a refund of my money. She states she would return my money in the form that she received it. I say great and move on.Now, she did send the money certified mail and I was not able to pick it it. I don’t really pay it much attention until I realize she owes me.I call the office on May 4 to ask for my refund. The secretary states she will have Marquita call me. Two days later Marquita calls me back stating she would look into it. A week later, after receiving no follow up call I call back. Once again the secretary takes a message stating she would have her return my call. A day later I call and the secretary stated Marquita has looked into it and has the check info, but due to COVID-19 the banks are closed and when the reopen she will contact me to verify!At this point, I explicitly tell the secretary you must think I am a stupid. All banks are open and still doing business. At this point the Secretary becomes indigent and hangs up.This is the worst excuse for a business I’ve seen in a while. Use them at your own risk. If and when you do, be prepared for her to be late, collect money up front and always have a miscommunication to resolve.Additionally, my business partner sends her an email requesting payment in full by May 21. She writes a return email stating she only wants to communicate via email due to the way I spoke with her office personnel. She continued on to state she was attempting to let me know that she could not meet with her bank manager and was waiting on an appointment with them to see where the cashiers check was.I explained I contacted her bank via their tele banking services where there was a Client Services Personnel to assist M-F 7a-8p and Sat 8a-4p, whom stated could assist with finding out if the check had been cashed and further communication would be with my attorney or courts requesting full refund. I’d like to mention this email was at 5:30 pm. At 7:10 she instant messages my business partner stating “the branch manger had the original check, I just got back from the bank” (Banks don’t keep cashiers checks)Sorry, there is no bank open after 5:00pm.

Mignon Wilkins-Oldham: Five Star Tax & Business Solutions has been great ...walked me through my all my taxes (I had several years of no file) and helped me set up my business LLC and get legal. I recommend it for all your accounting needs.

Garryl Tee: I found this firm on youtube so I decided to give them a call for a quote. I am very displeased with their service! I did a consultation over the phone since I live out of state, and was charged $175.00. Just for a consultation. Mind you, the consultation was 1 hour , and I'm not sure what I was paying for but it was definitely not worth it. She just explained the tax laws and the ways I could go about filling for 2019. Very basic stuff to say the least (again, not worth $175.00). I needed someone specifically with expertise in the area of barbering/cosmetology/small business, so I decided to give them a shot anyway (silly me of me). After a few email exchanges, days later, as well as a few bank statements that i forwarded to her admin named Naomi, I was not given a reply. I feel like they took my consultation money and didn't bother to reply back, EVEN though I was willing to pay for their accounting service going forward. At least have the courtesy to respond to your potential clients who paid for a consultation! Do not waste your time or money! Horrible experience.

Pete Lasker: Been since Jerry Dunn ..forgot about the people that helped make the company..too big now for those people… out of touch. You have to do something else ….because they are

bob pratt: I have repeatedly left messages for a call back re a tax issue from June 2022 and have never gotten a response. I am so frustrated with the lack of customer service that I figured a negative review may be the only way to get a response.

Melanie Sawtelle: I want to thank Hood and Associates employee, Lisa Sawtelle, for providing excellent service and project management.

Chad Seal: I would recommend Hood & Associates to anyone looking for a great accounting firm! I’ve worked with Lisa Sawtelle for years and she’s been incredible to work with!

Molly Green: What a terrible group this is. Our taxes were all together and to them by mar 1. They were bought out by hood and we were told they couldn’t be filed until” Sally” in Texas looked them over. Then they called and said they were done. We went to sign and we’re told we had to pay before they would file. We’ve been doing personal as well as business taxes with mike and thisgroup for years!!! So we payed through a number in Oklahoma. We have no idea when our taxes will be filed.Buyer beware. Run from these clown!!!!

Sarah Kroeger: The Operations director in KC is fantastic. So easy to work worth, very through and so helpful!

Spencer Sawtelle: Fantastic firm with a great culture. The type of people you want to work with! The office operations direction, Lisa, is a rockstar. Great choice for all your accounting needs.

Rhonda Moore: They were our company account for decades and after our company closed in 07. I personally continued to use their service for my personal tax preparation. My taxes were done professionally and correctly every year since 2008 till this year 2021. I will continue to use this company because I trust them in every thing tax related. Past and current tax laws. They are always well informed of all new tax laws that we the American people need to be aware of. This is a very upstanding and amazing company to hire for business and personal tax preparation. When it is tax time, it can take a little longer to get your taxes. I figure it is because they are extremely busy working on possibly hundreds of accounts. I expect to pay a good price for the hard work they do to get me the best return possible.
