CPA Professionals
Nicole Reynolds (View profile) recommends Bob Woloshen from Woloshen and Herman. Tel 212-843-3486
Nicole said the following: He is definitely experienced with freelancers and entrepreneurs and he's not super expensive. He's been doing my taxes for years and I think he's very thorough. See his website http://www.rawcpa.com/
Tim Marman (View profile) recommends Pat and Gerry Moran. Tel 718-762-8645
Tim said the following: I highly recommend Pat and Gerry Moran. The only issue is that they didn't find a temporary Manhattan office (normally on the UES), so you'd have to go to Queens, but they've been wonderful. A little pricey (200-300 depending on how complex), but saved me much more than that from doing it on my own. They're particularly good at the "work related" stuff, and he was an accounting professor at Fordham for many years. (I'll mail my stuff in but I've used them for the past 5+ yrs).
