I had a question about selling my home and Cameron was very helpful. He took the time to make sure that I understood my options. Had to find good working people these days, nice to find one.

Nothing but top tier accounting talent at this company. After trying several others in the past, what a night and day difference it has been working with Shafer Group. They were able to recover substantial accounting misses by others which resulted in a significant check back to us. What a way to start a relationship! They are absolutely on top of all the changes and work with us to develop a winning strategy for our companies. They are just about as good as a company can be, competent and always have your best interest in mind. I shy away from making recommendations but in this case I can wholeheartedly endorse Shafer Group without reservation.

Weve used the Shafer Group since 2000, and have always received prompt accurate service. They have always gotten us the maximum refund on taxes that we were entitled to, been extremely good at keeping in contact, are accurate, and even have fresh-baked cookies on the counter at tax time! I recommend them without reservation.

By recommendation, I called the Shafer Group last year to help me with my taxes as I had just started a new business. I sat down with Katie and had a great conversation about what to do and how to get organized in my new venture.When tax time came, communication level was fantastic and thru made the process easy. They made some terrific recommendations on my taxes to help save me the most money I could, and didnt charge a fortune to do it.I highly recommend the Shafer Group!

Service was excellent. I trust the talent in this firm. However, in my opinion, they charge too much.

I have use The Shafer Group for years. I work overseas, using other tax filing companies I was asked more questions other then receiving answers and when I did get answers they were mostly gibberish. When I went to The Shafer Group I was satisfied immediately that year and have been with them since, 8 years I think now.

After years of not being fully satisfied with the results and service I was getting from my tax preparation people, I switched to The Shafer Group this year and the results were better than I could have expected. They obviously have a efficient system to allow the CPAs to develop relationships and work directly with customers. We have two businesses, multiple sources of 1099 income, and W2 income and Vidhya took the time to really dig into everything during our initial meeting. She was readily available when I had questions during the process and is completely on top of all the tax law changes that impacted us. Go here if you live in Colorado Springs or Monument!

Ive been a business and personal client for over 10 years. Shafer Group does a consistently good job in the entire process of tax strategy, compliance and return accuracy.There were many times where I saved more money in tax liability by taking their planning and execution advice than I paid them in fees for their services.Ive always felt like we fully complied with all the tax rules, and that all returns were correct, but that we also didnt miss anything that was helpful either immediately or in future years.Ive used Top Ten accounting firms in the past. And sometimes they have their role. But Shafer Group provides personal quality tax advice at service rates far better than bigger firms.

My old friend and CPA retired, I needed a new tax preparer. Researching this group I found their Tax Manager, Kathleen Geist, was an Enrolled Agent with the IRS. They have to meet exacting criteria and perform annual update training. I contacted her and requested assistance. She was very kind and welcoming. Her staff handled the details of collecting my data and preparing the preliminary return efficiently, mine is moderately complex. Kathleen then went over it, and suggested a perfectly legal deduction that I did not know about. It saved enough to more than pay for my tax return preparation.I was treated with courtesy and efficiency throughout this encounter. I highly recommend this CPA group for tax preparation, and plan to return.

I have been receiving exceptional service from the Shafer group since 1995 when Greg was still working from his home office.I was introduced by a colleague when i complained that after using turbo tax I would have to pay that year. I resisted because Turbo tax “walks you thru” and it had to be right?He said: see Greg Shafer. If you do not get better results than turbo tax I will pay his service fee for you.I received money back instead of paying that year, because I had a loss that year that was not part of the questions asked in turbo tax.I am not saying Turbo tax is bad. I am saying if you are not filing EZ or you need advice on a small business and how to use the laws in your favor... turbo tax may fall short?So do yourself a favor and see greg. Use the Shafer group not only for tax season, but hire them to advise you before you start that business. Best hour you will ever pay for.

As a small business owner, this is the expertise I looked for over several years. Friendly, responsive, professional and an expertise that few accountants/firms posses. Not only the knowledge, but the skills to provide sound advice that equates to saving me more of what I work so hard for every year! They don’t provide “canned” answers but a tailored service based on my needs along with a strategic outlook for my future plans as well. Can’t recommend Greg and his staff enough!

Greg is great and so is ALL of his staff. He has had to do a lot for us both personal and business. He has audited other peoples work and found many mistakes and was able to correct them. Always does his best for us. THANKS THANKS THANKS

The Shafer Group has been handling our personal taxes along with our multiple business entities that are quite complex for years now. When we first came to the Shafer Group, we needed help moving forward after a mishandling of a previous CPA, they couldnt have done a better job getting us on track. Everyone we have worked with has been incredibly professional, helpful and friendly. Any questions or concerns we have are answered in a very timely manner, whether it be through email, phone call or meeting. We have been very happy with our payroll, accounting and tax services. The Shafer Group is helping us grow along with our businesses and we would highly recommend them to anyone!

I’ve used Shafer Group for years. One time I thought, foolishly, “I can do this myself and save some money.” That was a mistake I will not repeat. These folks are pros, they communicate well, they are reasonable. They are my go-to for taxes and other financial needs.

The Shafer Group has provided consistently excellent service over the past fifteen years to keep my tax returns tight and right. During those years, I have prevailed in the “vida loca” while navigating an unwanted divorce, single fatherhood, overseas deployments, running a rental property, retirement from a long military career, challenging training for a second career, out of state commuting, etc. Throughout all of that turbulence, the Shafer Group has been a bedrock source of stability and confidence. They have earned my highest recommendation possible.

The 5 start service I experienced was unexpected, in todays world of BAD customer service the Shafer Group restored my faith through the care and personal touch they spent with me. My taxes are not the norm, from foreign investments and dividends to business travel expenses. The Shafer Group made it easy and actually found mistakes in the accounting service I used in the past and made it their goal to make it right, unbelievable! Special thanks to Yoonmi Kim and the whole Shafer Group their people make the difference.

We were referred to The Shafer group for our 2016 taxes. Without question Yoonkim did an outstanding job maximizing our refund. In fact, we inputted our taxes into turbo tax before we met and it looked like we were going to owe. Yoonkim flipped that and we were given a refund.When tax season came around this year there wasn’t a question of if we were going to have Yoonkim do our taxes. We received our prep packet in the mail from The Shafer Group, completed it and dropped it off and within a week it was completed and ready to sign and send off.I can’t express how fortunate we have been to be referred to the Shafer Group. Best in the biz. Thank you everyone.

When it comes to accounting, every aspect of it is frustrating for me. I am just not a numbers gal. Since I am a small business owner, I have to trust (and like) my accountant. I have been so unbelievably impressed with the service I receive from the Shafer Group. Kellye Burbules, our staff accountant, is super competent, knowledgeable, attentive and always answers my questions (both elementary and complicated) in a way that is easy to understand, without making me feel stupid for asking. I think this is important because I feel very comfortable asking any question that I have about my business finances and I am very secure in knowing that I have the best accountant working on my side.

The Shafer Group has been doing our personal and business taxes since 2002. They also do the taxes for a Foundation I established for my Mother and a Family Foundation that was established four years ago. Greg has provided recommendations for other professionals in the Colorado Springs/Tri-Lakes area. This resulted in our selection of Doug Goldberg for our Trust work. Several years ago I had a stock distribution from a public company Board that I was a Director. Greg and Doug Goldberg worked as a Team to help manage the tax effects of the distribution. We originally selected Greg when we moved to Monument in 2001 because of his reputation and his Christian values. We would highly recommend his firm. Yoonmi Kim is the staff accountant that does our work. She is extremely competent and we are very pleased with the quality of her work and her timely response to any tax questions that may arise.
