Client Reviews of Thomas S. Hacker, CPA

Tom Hacker prepared the S-Corp returns for my business, Realware Consulting Inc. for many years. Then Hacker Kroll dissolved their association and Mr. Hacker set up shop in Somerville, NJ. I emailed him in late July or early August 2014 requesting an appointment to bring him the company records and have him again prepare the 2014 NJ and Federal tax returns. Several weeks went by without a response, so I called his office and was told by his office administrator that she'd pass my request on to him. Still having received no response, I called again. At this point time was getting short, so the administrator advised the surest thing was to schedule an appointment for the following week. However, when I showed up at the appointed hour (now early September, less than two weeks before the Federal return was due), the office was empty and dark and no one answered the phone. I left a voicemail message, waited an hour, and then left another message indicated how disappointed I was and that I had no choice but to go find another accountant. I was quite fortunate to locate someone who was willing to take on a last-minute rush job, and was able to file my returns on time, no thanks to the supremely unprofessional conduct of Thomas Hacker, who has never contacted me with any kind of apology or explanation. I have given one star only because the system won't accept 0 stars. I would strongly advise avoiding this accountant.
