Totally incompetent company starting with the owner Eric Cook. These people did my taxes for many years very easy taxes and they charge me almost $800 to do a very easy tax return. However, the last several years after my tax guy retired my service has gone straight down the tube. In fact last year was the first year that I filed After October 15 in my life. This year they have stopped responding back in June and I have filed an extension and I haven’t heard anything since today is October 15. I still haven’t heard anything. I’ve left messages after message after message even to the owner, Eric.

Eric, your response is totally incorrect. I reached out to her in May. Talked about a real estate deal center emails. She even responded that she filed extension for me. But when it came time to do the filing and meet, no one ever got back to me ever. You did not get back to me. You never tried only after I made this review. Did you give one attempt but by then it was too late after being with your company for over 10 years and you just leave me out to drive for unfiled taxes for last year. I sent her everything except for the Real Estate, which I wanted to meet with her. But again no one ever got back to me until way after October 15. But then it’s just too late. So you can respond and say all you want, are you still hung me out to dry.

I couldn’t be happier with Barker financial, I’ve been going there for years and even got help dealing directly with the IRS over a discrepancy that wasn’t my fault during one of those years. In the end it was corrected. It could have cost me and my family a lot if I just accepted the IRS’s statement, but they told me what I needed to do, I followed their instructions and came out the other side without any more stress from the IRS. They’re good people and I’m always comfortable going to their office.

These guys did my elderly mothers taxes for years and did a good job. She passed away and I had them handle her estate taxes and they bungled it. They filed them under the wrong EIN with both the state and the feds. Multiple phone calls and emails have resulted in zero action. Just terrible.

Eric provided the tax filings for my sister’s probated estate. Pretty complicated 1041 and associated K-1’s. Thank you Eric for your efficiency, reasonable cost and being a pleasure to work with!

Eric has always been very professional and caring. We live in SC and have been doing business with him for about 6 years. He always answers email, text, or phone calls in a timely manner. I, unlike alot of people, understand that during tax season there may be a time delay.

We have been using Barker Financial for at least two decades-possibly longer. We had a March 9 consult with a new tax consultant-our former person retired-, which cost us $643.00. We phoned this morning to find out where our tax forms were and my husband was verbally insulted by Eric Cook. Mr. Cook told my husband he didn’t have the time to “hang on the phone again with him.” My husband has NEVER spoken with this man.
BEWARE-what a outrageous and surreal encounter of the. weirdest ever-a simple call-where are our tax records after a month? My husband is a gentleman and kindly asked whee are my tax records. This is truly unprofessional.

I filed my 2016 taxes with them and ended up receiving a tax penalty from the state which has never happened to me when I do my own taxes using TurboTax. They also never sent me a paper or email copy of my return, so now I can’t e-file my 2017 taxes because I need specific info from last year’s return in order to e-file. Tax specialists? Pffffft
