There are not words grand enough to express how much I enjoy working with Michael Goldfine and his fantastic team or how they have cleared the cobwebs from my mind thus reducing the anxiety associated with taxes/ I.R.S.

As a new small business owner, I was intimidated by what I needed to know financially to keep me organized and understand the steps needed to run a business properly.  I suffer from chronic procrastination and Michael Goldfine immediately helped me feel comfortable and never judged me.  He suggested ways to improve my bad habits and work towards improving the future.  Since then I have been listening to his advise and my business has began to see improvement in such a short period of time.  

Michael has far exceeded my expectations on how an accountant works with clients. My expectations are that an accountant should be: Knowledgeable, professional, easy to reach,  trustworthy, experienced, and respectful. Michael is all those things, and more.  The organizational and time saving aspects that Michael Goldfine and staff members afford me and my business are priceless.  As anyone who owns a business knows, finances and money stability are a necessary evil... Michael Goldfine and his staff are definitely the answer.  

Spoken from the heart! Thank you guys.

I can't say enough how much of a pleasure it's been to work with Michael and the Goldfine team. They have guided me through complicated and stressful tax situations with ease and they made me feel completely sure about the work they were doing on my behalf. Whether in person or via email, the staff is happy to be working with and communicating with you. You never feel rushed or like a burden to them, their MO is to make their jobs look easy an they do! Michael has hired a group of people who love what they do and who really get customer service. Any business should look toward this firm as a model and as a customer, I feel very fortunate to be on their roster!

Professional and prompt. If you're like me and wait until the last minute to get your taxes done, head to them. Highly recommended!

Lawrence O. – New York, NY

If you can't afford the $750, seriously... go somewhere else and please don't take up this firms valuable time!  This man and his firm are an amazing, knowledgeable group of no nonsense professionals who took me on a week before tax day because they thought I was an interesting professional challenge.

I truly don't know how Michael finds the time to give the service he does but it was 5 stars and more.

He is a new and trusted professional advisor.

Goldfine's, I am so blessed to have an accounting group to trust and console with at unexpected times. Thank you for your care and attention! And, much appreciation for connecting me to Marquis. His warmth, understanding and professionalism kept me at ease through this banking transition.

Happy prosperous holidays to everyone!!

Much Gratitude

I own a large internet marketing company and some personal businesses. My taxes were very complicated because I had many different bank accounts for each along with mixing some of my expenses with my personal accounts. 

Nevertheless Michael helped me with resolving my situation along with saving me a large sum of money. 

I recommend using Michael and his associates for any large enterprise business related taxes and/or personal returns. Michael and his team have been in the business for years and can definitely say they are highly knowledgeable in their field.

Michael and his team are simply amazing. I was a little hesitant going to an accountant just going based upon reviews on Yelp, but I couldn't have been happier with the results. I had a rather special and unique scenario with my taxes, but Michael fully understood what needed to done and helped me save a lot of money. His whole team, including himself, are very responsive and will take as much time with you as need be to get things right. 

Not to mention, he feeds you pizza if you happen to be so lucky when you visit his office. I would highly recommend him to anyone living in NYC.

Bret B. – Scotch Plains, NJ

Michael rocks! He's filed my taxes for the past 3 years and I would highly recommend his services. He's also gone above and beyond what I expect in an accountant on more than one occasion for me. 

Responsive, reliable, personable and knowledgeable... can't beat it.

Rosemarie M. – Larchmont, NY

We all wait until the bitter end to deal with the IRS. In my case, I waited until the bitter end. I called Michael's office based on the glowing reviews you all gave him. Everyone was spot on! He is really a true professional. He also has compassion and understood what I was going through. I sent him over all of my information by email and we exchanged more info on the phone. In minutes he had prepared my taxes on the phone! Who does this? Answer: Michael Goldfine! You will never meet a more professional, kind man who also happens to have a great sense of humor. Thank you Michael. I look forward to doing business with you for many years to come. Michael Goldfine for President!!!

He smart, fast, efficient, flexible and gets results.  He's also easy to work with and has a great team. Best in town.

Simon B. – Manhattan, NY

What a relief to get this monkey off my back. I have nothing but glowing reviews. Michael Goldfine was friendly and reassuring, and and he took care of my somewhat complex tax situation (personal taxes, and business taxes) quickly, competently, and for less than I expected.

Lauren F. – Brooklyn, NY

Seriously fantastic experience - Michael and Carolyn are beyond helpful and knowledgeable and engaging - they truly take the chore out of filing taxes and do an amazing job of saving you money while they're at it.  I will return each year for as long as I live in New York.  Highly highly recommend.

Jacquline L. – Manhattan, NY

Great experience for tax prep service- very fast and convenient- I never knew tax season could be like this!  What I appreciated most though was the friendly and courteous service- you really feel the benefits of working with a small company which cares about its clients. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again!

YMD – New York, NY

Michael did something amazing again today and I decided to share this with other Yelpers...

I got a letter from New York State 2 days ago. A dreaded "Additional Tax Due" letter.....I did my own tax for 2007, and I should have known better. 

Last year, NYS wanted me to pay  $1600 additional tax for 2007. I paid it without fighting. I thought that was it, but I was so wrong. This year they want another $1500 from me!! When will this end? Why do they keep harassing me?

Then, Michael came to rescue. He asked me to fax all the papers to him so that he can redo my 2007 tax. That was yesterday. Today, he told me I only owe $772 to NYS, He saved me $700 right here. AND he told me I would get a $2,100 refund from Federal!!!!! A REFUND!!!!!
He did it again! 

You must let him do your tax. He will protect you from the evil IRS.

Thank you, Michael!

Sometimes, even in a city full of service providers in every field, it's not easy to know who to engage. It's hard to know who the good, reasonably-priced lawyers are, the decent accountants, the doctors with the right touch.

If you can't find out via word of mouth, it's a slightly scary, almost random selection process.

I recently found Michael via Yelp, and after a look at his web site and an introductory call, I knew I had found my new accountant.

I've just begin working with him on a personal tax problem, so I can't yet write a full review, as we've just started working on my case.

But I can say this: if you need an accountant or tax consultant, and you aren't sure who is ethical, who is going to rip you off or who will provide competent service, and you're like me, looking around in despair asking "who can help me without screwing me?" call Michael Goldfine.

He has a very likable, slightly gruff but friendly, New York-guy persona, exactly what you want in a no-nonsense, down to earth accountant. He and his staff come across as good people and very experienced and competent, and that's really all you need and can ask for in a financial service provider.

On my very first visit to his office (which he squeezed in on very short notice after I explained the seriousness of my problem) we dug right in, got some stuff resolved, spent some time on the phone with the IRS, and we're on the road to resolving my tax issues.

Again, if you have a tax situation, and don't know where to go and are looking for help, call Michael. I did and I feel better already.

After years of (unsuccessfully) preparing my own returns, I decided to have someone else jump in the driver's seat as my tax situation was getting slightly more complex for me to handle on my own.  Burned out by my frustration with the so called "simplicity" of TurboTax, I explored other options.  A friend's glowing recommendation brought me to Michael's cramped little office in Soho.  With what seemed to be my entire financial history sprawled out on this desk, he sat with me for a couple of hours on a Friday night smack in the middle of tax season to correct my erroneous return from the previous year and to file my current one.  In the end he saved me from what would have been a huge tax liability!  That was four years ago.  To date, Michael has still retained me as his loyal client because his experience and expertise in tax issues are second to none.
