Client Reviews of Joseph Greco, CPA

I really wish I had done a search for this company before I actually used them. I actually left this company in 2 months after giving them some investments that will end up costing me $8000 in taxes because they sold them all without my OK. Not only that, but this year my new accountant found a TON of mistakes on last years return that would have yielded me a refund check. Joe only does what will line Joe's pockets and he really does not care about you.

I wish I had checked them out before 1) providing a very large financial deposit for which they were to represent me on an IRS audit and 2) to confirm that Joseph Greco had the credentials he claimed, which was that he was an Enrolled Agent (certified by the IRS). It appears the bad reviews are correct since 16 months later the firm has NOT worked on my case or been in contact with the IRS beyond their 1st phone call. To say the situation is far worse now is an understatement. But it gets worse... I made a few phone calls to check on the facts of the bad reviews and was warned these guys were pretty shady. In fact, I was asked, "Have they threatened to call the police on you yet?" It appears that's their tactic. They refuse to communicate and then use our civil servants as a means of bullying in the hopes that you will simply go away rather than return any unused funds or your financial/legal documents. What??? I can't imagine a professional CPA resorting to such tactics! Well, sure enough when I went in to request my files, they immediately told me I was not to come into their office without an appointment or they would call the police. So over the next 5-days, I did as they requested and left 6 messages during the 5-day week requesting an appointment to retrieve my files. While I was told multiple times that someone would return my phone call and I would be provided a date to retrieve my files, a return phone call or correspondence never occurred. So, I called my local police department to bring them up to speed on the situation. Good thing, because today when I called the office to inquire when my files would be returned, this firm stated they planned to call the police to file a police report for harassment. And they did. But thanks to my earlier report, the police were up to date on the ENTIRE situation. This isn't the 1st time this firm has gone this route... The bottom line is that this firm is happy to take your money, not do the work you've paid for, prefers to intentionally refuse to communicate, sees no reason why they should return your personal documents so that you can hire a reputable CPA and has a history of bad behavior with their clients. Read the reviews and chose a different firm to work with.
