Apr 28, 2021 Report

I was referred to Sternbach and Rose by a family friend and their services exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. The staff are knowledgeable, personable and professional. This year, I had a sole proprietorship which I needed to include in my returns. Sternbach and Rose advised that I would need a Schedule C, helped with the allowable expenses, and brought my tax due down, which ultimately increased my refund. I would recommend Sternbach and Rose to anyone in need of state or federal filing, or even general accounting! They do corporate taxes as well. Thanks, Sternbach and Rose!

Ellen Rose of Sternbach and Rose is fast efficient and incredibly current on what the ever changing laws are. I read one of her recent articles which put things in perspective for my mother. She has taken on family members of different financial miens and everyone was thrilled. Sternbach's tag line includes, "where your not just a number", which means every client matters no matter what their income level. That has been our experience. They are true to those words. These ladies are incredibly reliable, knowledgeable and will get back to you asap. I totally recommend them!
