Ed Clark was made my trustee by my family. I have had nothing but constant upsets with him. He prepared my takes for 2023. I never received my refund as the account number was incorrect, he put blame on his assistant and now I have to correct it. He is rude and as I see over priced for poor work. I would not ever suggest anyone go to Ed.

This firm (Tony specifically) filed our taxes improperly resulting in unnecessary and significant cost to us. He refused to take any responsibility and blamed us for his own mistakes and his poor understanding of our taxes. This forced us to pay an attorney and a qualified CPA at a different firm to review and correct any further mistakes and omissions he may have made. Note the other reviews here and elsewhere where this firm made basic mistakes that no CPA firm should ever make. We have filed a compliant with the attorney general's office. As there is clearly a pattern here I hope others file as well so that this business can correct its mistakes and avoid causing issue to others.

I wish I had read these reviews before we had Ed Clark do our taxes. We had been referred to him by another CPA. Our taxes were simpler for last year than they had been for recent years. Yet, Ed charged us more than twice what we had paid our former CPA for the 3 previous years. OK. We paid it with no complaint. Almost 2 months later, we receive an exact duplicate of the IRS filing he had sent previously. It included another bill for over $1,000 more. He would not give me ANY detail or reasoning behind the sudden additional bill. If fact, he said he would no longer return any emails to me and that I should just, "pay the bill and move on". In the body of his email he was sarcastic and unprofessional. We had other issues with him prior to this. For example, he did not reply to previous emails we had sent, claiming he never received them. But, when I got on the phone with him and sent an email he received it immediately. Really? Our experience is similar to other of the complaints in this Yelp review section. They seem to be about Ed, more than anyone else in the firm.

I had a terrible experience with this firm. I strongly recommend not using this firm at all. I'm a salaried employee and my tax return should be straight forward.I went to these guys, even though they were costly, because I wanted peace of mind. I found multiple, BIG errors in their filing and I had to spend hours combing through the tax returns to make sure if they had not made any other mistakes. -- On top of it, instead of being sympathetic- they offered me a small $ and were extremely rude ( Ed) and unprofessional.

tl;dr - the right client for this firm is someone who, even before an initial meeting, gives them a blank check to bill as many hours as they see fit, at $325 per hour, before even deciding to use their services. Given the mixed reviews here, I had some reservations but wanted to give them a try, as they came recommended from CPAs and attorneys. I didn't even get to an appointment with Ed Clark. They told me they needed to review my information prior to an initial consultation, and this review would be billed at their regular rate. Totally fair. But since I didn't know if we were a good fit, I asked for a short introductory meeting just to understand if they were a good fit (again, happy to pay the rate). No can do. Fine, but given the other reviews on here, I wanted to get an estimate of how many hours the review would be. At that point, they told me "Ed does not feel you would be a good fit for him or anyone else in our office. Good luck in your search."

I think the general review of how good a CPA is varies depending on people's needs. I work with Ed all the time. Good service for me is being an absolute expert in helping me navigate some pretty complex tax code. When I read other people complaining about this firms fees, I agree I've seen cheaper but some people really need an expert and the extra cost saves us much more. I've built entire plans around the advice Ed's given me that has saved me thousands of dollars and I couldn't be more grateful for his advice.

Incompetent accountants and incredibly unprofessional manner. We asked if we could speak with Ed Clark as we have always had an actual conversation with our tax preparer once the organizer process is complete (or we could all just use TurboTax) and we received a scathingly rude note from Ed and he told us not to contact him again. Then, after we were forced to hire another tax accountant to actually do the work, he had the gall to bill us! And finally, amount he says we owed was 3x what a thorough accountant determined. Do not hire this man!!!!

I have worked with Ed Clark for over 20 years and he has saved me thousands of dollars. He is honest, ethical and that's what it takes to run a business long-term. I trust his Integrity so much. That I have made him Co executor of my estate. You will be blessed to do business with this man.

I really had an awful experience with this company specially Ed. I wish I read the other reviews before working with Clark & Raymond & Co. Very disappointing and in my opinion I would not recommend this company.

2 reviews 1.0 star rating 12/20/2017 We had an experience working with a member of this firm. In my opinion, they handled our business in a very unprofessional manner. At the end of the work, which I think was unofficial and poorly documented, we were charged for an amount that we felt was not representative of the actual work that was done. I would not recommend any business with this firm.
