Tompkins & Peters CPAs, P.C.

As someone who was not a current client, I scheduled a telephone appointment with MJ Huffman regarding a tax question that had me worried. She called me right on time, and she answered all of my questions in more detail then I had expected. I was quite reassured by the end of our conversation. Compared to a previous accountant we used in Helena, she was stellar. We are going to consider having Tompkins & Peters do our taxes in the future because I was so happy with the telephone consultation I had with MJ.

Tompkins & Peters CPA's, P.C. team and Mary Jennifer Huffman in particular helped tremendously with my tax questions. She answered promptly first via a detailed email then conducted a Go to Meeting with me and was very generous with her time. I had a few complex tax questions. Trying figure out how to be compliant with both United States tax laws. I reached out to over 10 other CPA’s and Tax Specialist across the United States and they mostly just back to me with short answers, a big upfront cost without even speaking to me or they could not help at all because it was above their knowledge. I would recommend anyone that has a tax questions to speak to Mary Jennifer Huffman and her team. The interaction was great and got all my questions answered with additional information and consideration from the team at Tompkins & Peters CPA's, P.C. .

Not a fan. You go in for a 45 minute meeting and end up with a bill for over 2 hours. My last accountant would charge $1000 for a tax return on average. TPCPA would average closer to $2500 for a return. They are not up to speed with the latest technology but charge a premium to sit their and try and figure it out. It is painful having to show them how the accounting software works, knowing they are charging upwords of $300 an hour for the lesson. I thought if I was paying top tier rates I would be getting some excellent advise to save me money in the long run. I was disappointed as they never offered up any strategies, they only input amounts into boxes and submitted returns. I could have used turbo tax for that.
