"I've been a business and personal client for over 10 years. Shafer Group does a consistently good job in tax strategy, compliance and return accuracy. There were many times where I saved more in tax liability than I paid in fees. I've used Top Ten accounting firms — Shafer Group provides personal quality advice at rates far better than bigger firms."
"The Shafer Group has been handling our personal taxes along with multiple complex business entities for years. When we first came, we needed help after a mishandling by a previous CPA — they couldn't have done a better job getting us on track. Incredibly professional, helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend them to anyone!"
"Nothing but top tier accounting talent at this company. After trying several others, what a night and day difference. They recovered substantial accounting misses by others which resulted in a significant check back to us. Competent and always have your best interest in mind. I can wholeheartedly endorse Shafer Group without reservation."
"We have been customers of The Shafer Group for several years. Extremely professional and great to work with. Cynthia is top notch and we are so thankful to have her doing our books! Our only wish is that we found them sooner!"
"We've used the Shafer Group since 2000, and have always received prompt accurate service. They have always gotten us the maximum refund on taxes we were entitled to, are extremely good at keeping in contact, and even have fresh-baked cookies on the counter at tax time! I recommend them without reservation."
