Steve Shapiro, EA, CTRC

I cannot recommend Steve Shapiro highly enough. I have known him for several years, and during some incredibly difficult financial periods in my life, he proved to be more than just a knowledgeable professional — he was a steady, compassionate partner who truly cared about helping me move forward. What sets him apart is not only his deep understanding of tax law and attention to detail, but his patience, integrity, and genuine empathy for the people he serves. A great tax preparer should be trustworthy, responsive, thorough, and strategic — and he embodies all of these qualities. He took the time to fully understand my situation, helped me navigate multiple years of missed filings without judgment, and worked tirelessly to create a plan that reduced what felt like an overwhelming tax debt. Throughout the process, he communicated clearly, advocated on my behalf, and always made sure I understood my options. His professionalism is matched by his compassion. Instead of making me feel ashamed of past mistakes, he approached everything with understanding and encouragement, which made a stressful situation far easier to face. If you are looking for someone who combines technical expertise with real human care — someone who will go above and beyond to help you regain stability and peace of mind — I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Steve helped us navigate the stressful world of taxes. He helped us to be currently not collectable.

Steve was very professional and polite to work with. He answered questions immediately when I would contact him. He took our worries away from loosing our home, which no one cannot be thankful enough when it comes to that. Steve was a pleasure to work with and a great and caring person as well. A person you can definitely trust. I would recommend Steve Shapiro to everyone I know or come into contact with that needs help in any kind of tax matters. Thank you Steve.

Steve helped with preparation for multiple years and was able to take in contacting IRS more easily than I could as a layman to keep them informed.

Review for Steve Shapiro, Accountant Extraordinaire I reached out to Steve Shapiro blindly, hoping for help with a full audit of two years’ worth of taxes — a process that took place during one of the most challenging times of my life. From the very beginning, Steve was a calming presence. He eased my anxiety, explained every part of the process, and walked me through each step with patience and clarity. What stood out most was his approach during the audit interview. Steve didn’t just defend my case; he did so with a level of professionalism and poise that put both me and the auditor at ease. He was a steady advocate, never wavering, and his calm, knowledgeable demeanor helped establish a professional rapport with the auditor. This made all the difference in an audit that lasted over a year. Steve’s guidance was invaluable. He not only explained what was happening but also why it was happening, and he always had clear, actionable advice on what I should do next. His patience throughout was remarkable, and by the end of the process, I wasn’t just working with an accountant — I had a trusted advisor and friend. Most importantly, the audit defense was successful, with no adjustments needed to my taxes owed. This outcome alone speaks volumes about Steve’s expertise and dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend Steve to any friend, family member, or anyone looking for an accountant who is as skilled as he is supportive. He turned what could have been a nightmare into a manageable, even reassuring, experience. From now on, Steve is my go-to for all tax-related matters.
