I hired Meera at SSK Solutions to prepare and file corporate taxes the first year I opened my business. I had never filed a corporate return, so I didn't know how complicated it would be and I didn't want to make any mistakes. Her recommendation included changing the structure of my company to lower my overall tax responsibility, and as a result, she helped to file a total of three returns for my business. Unfortunately, my annual return was adjusted by the IRS due to an error in Meera's calculations, and both quarterly returns incurred a penalty because she provided the wrong deadlines. One of the penalties would have happened regardless because we didn't change the structure until after the deadline of that first return. I chalked that up to working out the kinks in a new process and figured things would be smooth moving forward. The following quarter however, I did everything Meera instructed and still incurred a penalty. Worse, when I reached out to her for help understanding what happened and navigating an appeal, her initial advice was to provide false information back to the IRS. I'd like to believe this was because she simply didn't review my records before offering a recommendation and merely got the facts wrong based on her memory. But even so, it was yet another instance that demonstrated her lack of care and attention to detail. In the end, she denied all responsibility, stating that it was ultimately my responsibility to understand and meet IRS deadlines. And she's right - no matter how complicated tax laws may be, the responsibility lies with the taxpayer, not the preparer, so it's in your best interest to find one you can trust to be diligent, precise, communicative, and above all, to behave with integrity. In my experience, SSK Solutions was none of those things.

Meera saved the day fixing a tax file I did through TurboTax that ended up not being complete. She saved me thousands in tax penalties. I've learned my lesson. I'll be headed to SSK for future tax filings.

I have been working with Ms.Meera for both my personal and business taxes from last 3 years and I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed with her knowledge and experience as a certified CPA for federal taxes. She has a deep understanding of tax laws and regulations, which has allowed her team to provide me with the best advice and guidance for my financial situation & business laws. She is very detail-oriented, making sure that every aspect of my tax returns is accurate and in compliance with all relevant rules.Meera is very responsive and always available to answer any questions I have. She takes the time to explain complex tax concepts in a way that is easy to understand, which is much appreciated.I highly recommend this SSK Billing to anyone who is looking for a professional and knowledgeable tax advisor. They have exceeded my expectations and I am confident that they will continue to provide me with the highest level of service in the future.

Meera and her team are extremely knowledgeable in tax matters. In 2021 I had significant income from stock trading apart from regular W2. She astutely handled the taxes to ensure I had maximum refund! Very happy with the entire SSK Solutions staff. Confidential, responsive and above all affordable even vs other online options.

Meera is kind, professional and excellent at helping with our taxes even when documentation can be difficult to piece together. My now husband has worked with Meera for years and I started using her last year to help do our taxes shortly after we got married. She has been a life saver piecing together odds and ends of documentation and helping us navigate tax impacting life changes. Can't recommend highly enough!

Working with SSK Solutions has changed the way I look at the big tax preparation sites. My wife and I had only used turbo tax prior to working with SSK and there was a big difference in the level of CONFIDENCE we had in knowing there was no deduction or opportunity missed.The CEO, Meera Kulkarni, provided us options like secure portal for uploads, docusigns options, text communication, and as much personal consultation needed to ensure our returns were done correctly.Highly recommend the SSK Solutions Team!
