Classic Accounting Inc - Yuma, Arizona

Iyke A.

I am utterly displeased with Barbara Redding (registered tax preparer), David Kline (consultant) and the other associates at Classic Accounting (1840 S 4th Ave Ste 7, Yuma, Arizona). Their tardy and unprofessional handling of my business account has caused me financial loss and severe distress.
Firstly, I have had to pay the IRS close to $6,000.00 in penalties for various infractions such as non-filing of taxes and late filing of taxes for 2023 and 2024 (Barbara Redding is yet to provide any evidence that she filed the referenced taxes or that she filed for a timely extension for 2024 because I had been adamant that I would not pay any more penalties for late filing after paying late filing fees in 2023). This is in addition to a failure to register
my company as an S-Corp (David Kline, who treats me with the utmost disdain and condescension, could also not provide any evidence of registration when I confronted him with the letter the IRS had written me. I had to register anew with my current accountants).
Furthermore, they have never treated me with courtesy. They have a habit of ignoring my emails (my last email sent to Barbara requesting evidence of filing/extension so that I could seek an abatement/forgiveness from the IRS was not even acknowledged and it took the intervention of the Better Business Bureau for her to respond to me). I never felt like they were treating my account as a priority (Most of the time I called Barbara, she would tell me that she was busy working on other accounts or preparing quarterly statements. I sent her several frantic emails urging her to file my taxes before the tax deadline which were ignored). Additionally, despite having my business card (with all my information on it) on file, they have, in multiple forms, misspelled both my name as well as my business name leading to lengthy administrative issues with the IRS.
Finally, they have shown no empathy to me for the distress and financial loss they have caused me leading me to seek 3rd party arbitration. They have employed a strategy of stonewalling, callous sarcasm, time wasting and obfuscation to avoid taking
responsibility and issuing me a refund. As a new business, every penny counts and I believe that I should not have to bear the burden of non-filing or late filing penalties when the circumstances that have led to my financial loss can
entirely be attributed to the failure of Classic accounting to live up to their professional duties and responsibilities to me.
I wish I could post a zero star. I would not recommend their services at all.

We've been with Classic Accounting for over 25 years, for both personal and business finances, even after moving from Yuma to a different city. Dave is a kind and exceptional accountant, and has always taken care of our accounting needs very quickly and professionally. We highly recommend Classic Accounting for any and all your accounting needs!

Not sure why there are bad reviews for Classic Accounting. For four years in a row, they have been the best at preparing my taxes. On time appointments, my questions answered and very professional towards me. Thank you Classic accounting, please keep up the great work.

Hello

Dave Cline is probably the worst accountant ever as far as getting things done in a timely manner or returning phone calls or messages. Complete nightmare. Don't waste your time! Worst service ever! It doesn't matter how long you have been a client, he treats them terribly and with no respect or consideration for their time or the fact that they pay him for the poor service he provides! He has been telling me for a month my taxes will be done "this weekend" and now he won't return my calls or messages. Don't do it unless you want nothing but headaches!

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! Filed my taxes thankfully not with them so they didn’t get my money, but my former employer used classic accounting for payroll which meant that I got my W2s from them and they were in charge of filing with the IRS. According to the IRS they have NO record that I ever worked for my employer which means that I have still not received my tax money that is mine. I filed February 5th and it’s June 22nd and Dave Cline still has not given the IRS my tax information that should have been sent out to the IRS a long time ago. I have called numerous times to the office and his response is that “he has other clients to still file ahead of me and will give me a call when he has completed mine”

In response to your reply,
I was told I’d receive a phone call once they were processed as well and never received one. When I went in on Friday to go pick up my check from my former employer I asked for the persons information that was in charge of my employers account so I can tell the IRS who’s responsible for the very delayed paperwork and you gave me your business card I said thank you and left. I called your office more than once and was told they would give the message to the person in charge and actually talked to Dave twice and went in person to your office once so you please be honest. Communication is key and I should have wrote a review long ago because I would of never known the paperwork was filed till now. It’s a shame because I’m not the only one who has yet to receive their tax money because of Classic Accountings lack of commitment to customer satisfaction.

Classic Accounting was an amazing experience. Friendly staff that are actually willing to help, listened to and answered all my questions in a professional yet friendly manner. The best tax services in Yuma by leaps and bounds.
