I needed an IRS Form 1041 to be completed for my mother's estate, but I was only one week from the fiscal year deadline. Having found this responsive company, after being put off by many firms, I was pleased at the prompt and clear email communication. I cannot recommend Watter CPA high enough!

About seven years ago, we found the firm of Kenneth J. Watter, CPA. Since then, we no longer had to struggle through confusing tax codes. They prepared our returns with no errors and on time. Ken, Alice and the office staff are the best and we highly recommend them.

I have been a client of Kenneth J. Watter, CPA, PA for fifteen years. The firm is courteous and professional no matter which accountant handles my return. Although this firm is an hour away from where I live, I highly recommend them for any taxpayer in the Maryland area.
