Great experience fast response
Hollins Associates has been patient and flexible with me, as a new business owner I have needed a lot of explaining and special attention. Ive felt connected and appreciated by the staff at Hollins. They never mind when I bring my children in with me and always make time to assist me- even when I am experiencing an accounting emergency they stop what they are doing to help. My familys business is growing and thriving with their assistance.
Hollins & Associates have been handling our personal and corporate taxes + book keeping for over 5 years. They are very detail oriented, organized, professional, quick to respond to questions/issues, very friendly. We are very satisfied with their service.
Hollins Associates is very attentive to their clients as well as very professional. We started a small business and everyone in the office was so pleasant to deal with, even while bombarding them with questions on how to set up all our accounts in QuickBooks (first time ever doing this and oh so many phone calls & emails). Any and all of our questions were answered in a timely manner regarding both our personal and business needs. Highly recommend Hollins Associates!!
We had some email confusion but Dale got in touch really quicky and it has been cleared up. I am really grateful. He tried to offer me a gift to compensate me for the fright I got but was happy to donate to SERVE instead. What a lovely man. My massive apologies from the other side of the pond. Special relationship restored :) Thank you DAle. If I lived on the same continent youd have my business!
I called Hollins Associates for immediate help with my tax returns. I received an immediate consultation and the staff proactive and prompt with meeting my expectations. I highly recommend Hollins Associates for a pleasant experience!!
Fraudulent practice. Billed me for services that I never asked for and services that were never presented to me. Shocked that they would act so unprofessionally. Only cared about getting money. Hated the experience. Advise you to go elsewhere.
First, let me start by saying that the best part about our experience with this firm is that we learned who NOT to use. From the very beginning we should have seen the red flags. We sat down with the owner/CPA Angela Hollins, and Karen, who I assume is just an underling to Angela. After that meeting, my husband would have no more contact with Angela at all. My husband chose to use Hollins associates for his personal tax return, as well as for his grandfathers personal return, and the estate return. (His grandfather passed away in 2014, and my husband is the executor of the estate). From the very beginning there were problems. They mailed a letter to the NCDOR (Grandfather was NC resident) seeking to establish my Husband as fiduciary for the tax filing, and it was returned to us because they failed to gather all necessary information. For my husbands personal return, he requested that Hollins associates not run his debit card without notifying him first so funds could be moved between accounts. They failed to do that, and ran it anyways. Not only was his account overdrawn because of this error, they sent the SAME amount to the IRS and NCDOR. They did, however, offer to cover any incurred charges from the bank. They filed an extension for his grandfathers return and upon mailing us the documents to sign and send (we now live back in NC) Karen failed to mail all the required documents to be sent to the IRS. My husband paid close to $1200 for the two personal returns and after all the issues, decided to cancel them filing the estate return which cannot be filed until 2016. Karen returned all the documents for the return and was actually quite gracious at the request. About a week later he received an email with an invoice requesting payment in the amount of $406 for services rendered for the estate filing, which, again, was not filed. The invoice contained no line items showing why the money was owed. When my husband called and spoke with Chris about the issue, she stated she would speak to Angela (the head honcho) and get back to him. When she emailed him the next day, Chris said that Angela stated that they deserved to be paid for work performed. As stated above, the document that they sent to the NCDOR that was returned, and they claimed that my husband owed them $406 dollars for prep work. The total original quote was $600 for filing the return. When my husband argued with Chris over the charge, she stated that it was no problem for them to send it to collections. My husband demanded that they provide a detailed invoice showing the work performed, and that they send it by the end of that week. He was told that Karen was in meetings and would not have the time to gather the requested information. Again, my husband pressed and said that was unacceptable. He was told that it was beyond Chriss control and it would be the following week before they could get the invoice to him. Conveniently, the next day he received an invoice showing that he only owed $4.16 for postage and that as he had suggested, there was an error in their work. No surprise there. Nothing but errors from the beginning. Im actually quite surprised there arent any other reviews of this place.Bottom line: This place is an unprofessional joke. I recommend that anyone considering using Hollins Associates take their business elsewhere. Wed rather go to H&R Block before going anywhere near this business.
