What our clients say
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 of August 15, due to family demands. Having found this responsive company, after being put off by many firms who told me a consultation would be days away, I was pleased at the prompt and clear email communication. I then received a prompt follow-up call from Salvatore Sotelo, who spent time answering my questions, with courtesy and patience. I was so relieved to be sent verification of IRS having accepted the forms. In this company, I found professionalism, personal courtesy, efficiency and good natured individuals along the way. I cannot recommend Watter CPA high enough!
My wife and I used to do our Federal and State Tax Returns by ourselves, but when they started to get too complicated we thought there had to be a better solution. About seven years ago, we found the firm of Kenneth J. Watter, CPA. Since then, we no longer had to struggle our way through the confusing tax codes. We provided Ken and Alice with the information and they prepared our tax returns and submitted them with no errors and on time. Every member of the office is willing to answer our questions. Ken, Alice and the office staff are the best and we highly recommend them to our family and friends.
I have been a client of Kenneth J. Watter, CPA, PA for fifteen years. With the complicated nature of my returns, I can give them my information and they are able to explain my tax information in a way that I understand. The firm is courteous and professional no matter which accountant handles my return in any given year. Although this firm is an hour away from where I live, I highly recommend them for any taxpayer in the Maryland area.
