Testimonials

With literally hundreds of five star ratings and positive reviews, Charles has proven his success time and time again. 

Listed below are just a few outstanding testimonials from clients he has worked with:

From a fellow tax professional I acted as a consultant, helping her out on a case:

I am writing this as a highly seasoned tax professional that needed some expert assistance regarding an IRS audit that went sideways.  Mr. Markham jumped right in and explained to me in detail what needed to be done to save the day.  He prepared the document for me, as promised, and I am 100 percent expecting a favorable outcome for my tax client.  I owe him!

If your tax professional has other tax professionals as clients, they must be doing something right.

Tracie B, Enrolled Agent

From a tax preparation client:

For over two decades, Charles has been my “tax guy,” providing meticulous work, thoughtful guidance, and true expertise. You will not find a tax consultant more thorough, dependable, and dedicated to your tax preparation needs. My wife and I resolved years ago to entrust Charles–and Charles alone–with our complicated taxes.

From a multi-year tax problem resolution client:

Simply outstanding!
When you hire someone sight unseen from the Internet you sometimes may get that strange feeling in the pit of your stomach as you wonder “is this person professional?” “Are they legit?” “Can I trust him?”

I had all of those concerns. Add to the fact that you can get into hot water quickly with regard to taxes and associated issues and you are talking some potentially sleepless nights.

Enter Charles Markham.

Charles is an interesting professional in that he takes time, patience and is respectful of you as an individual. He’s sensitive to your fears, concerns and he fights strongly for you.

Oh, and he knows his way around taxes. Very, very well:
1. I entered into a previous agreement with the IRS
2. I contact Charles (I should have done this first)
3. He worked to have over $22K owed in back taxes reduced to less than $5K – within a year
4. He had my monthly payments reduced – twice

Since he has such a down to earth disposition, he is someone I consider a friend. His personality quickly puts you at ease and is calming. Don’t discount this important aspect of a tax professional! I think he knows his stuff so well that he is not stressed about what he does – a knowledgeable confidence that is very soothing and allows you to relax knowing you are in good hands. The ability to sleep at night is very important – Charles helped me with that. He’s also, humorous – not something one readily thinks of regarding tax professionals.

Each victory Charles obtained for me, he was excited about! I mean really excited about lol. I’m not making a move in the tax realm without Charles. Period.

I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Tax Preparation client:

Best-in-class; Charles is one of those rare providers who has the skill-set to do that which most cannot–solving problems completely. He takes the time to identify your exact situation, and knows the rules better than those he will engage on your behalf. Above all, Charles is fair and straight, which is exactly what is needed when hiring a financial expert..

A multi-year non-filer:
Due to what I considered a complicated tax situation, I was a non-filer for several years (and paralyzed with fear). A friend referred me to Charles. Immediately I knew I made the right decision. He has a “no nonsense” approach with his clients and a unique style to solving tax problems (which I admire). He is a “big picture” kind of guy. He knows all the angles and has the education, experience and professional chops to back it up. I have since referred many clients to Charles.

Tax preparation:
I have used Charles to do my personal taxes for a couple of years now, and I am extremely happy with his service. In fact, there is no comparison between the care and attention Markham & Co. gives versus other vendors. Thanks to Charles, my taxes have never been more painless and he is extremely thorough. Charles is intellectually curious and a creative thinker. He is…more.

My former small business and my household accounts have benefitted from Charles’s services since 1994. Thanks, Charles!

Tax preparation:

Charles is extremely knowledgeable. Not only has he helped me solve some very confusing tax puzzles, but he also had a hand in saving a real estate deal. He is funny, honest, professional, and fast. He always answers his phone or calls right back. If you decide to work with Charles, you might actually look forward to tax time!

I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Tax preparation with international aspects:

Okay, where to start. Ever felt like you were just a number to your tax professional? Ever waited days to hear back from the professional you’re paying extremely high fees to? Ever had a question, but held back because you were embarrassed to ask? Ever had a bad taste left in your mouth from tax season? And finally, ever overpay? If you answered “yes” to any of the above, contact this provider now. The entire experience was unbelievable. ( The provider treated me like a VIP client, even though it was our first tax season together. The response time was lightning fast. (I mean sometimes-within-minutes fast!) He walked me through each and every question I had. (There were a lot.) And for the first time since I’ve been doing my taxes, I understand what is going on, can plan for next year, and work with the provider to be proactive instead of reactive. Oh, and did I mention he got me money back? So if VIP treatment, lightning fast response time, learning about your taxes, and money back interest you, contact this provider now. Don’t take my word for it, though. Contact this provider, and see for yourself.
