Report
I have used Pompo for my payroll for probably the last 8 years. Excellent customer-oriented service group. But what really impressed me was the help they gave me while applying for the PPP during the pandemic. I was lost with all the paperwork terms required for applying for the PPP. I gave FJ Pompo a call and they walked me through it. Had they not been so prompt and helpful I may not have submitted my application in time. They helped keep my business running during a challenging time, and for that I will be forever grateful.

I used F.J. Pompo & Co. for my personal return this year and would recommend them to anyone. I had a complicated return this year and they handled it with ease. What I needed to provide was communicated clearly, they did all the work on time or ahead of schedule, and went out of their way to ask questions to maximize my return. Will continue to use in the future.

I have been working with Joe for the past 3 years - he is fair, well-informed, and exact. I highly recommend them for payroll and accounting - they even have someone that will come to you to help you with your accounting software!
