Phil and Crest CPA’s came to me as a recommendation from a family member who raved of the service. I live outside the state of Illinois (Florida) and I needed help with my personal taxes due to the wild year that was 2020. Any question I posed, Phil would usually respond within the hour. I had tried to calculate what my tax bill would be on my own and after Phil finished, I paid over $2,300 LESS than I anticipated. I’m grateful for Phil’s attention to detail and will be using Phil for my personal taxes from now on. Phil made my taxes easy and stress free

I highly recommend Phil and Crest CPAs & Consultants. After a couple years of trying to manage my small business taxes on my own, it became clear I needed to lean on a professional. In just minutes after sending my first email I had a quick phone consultation with Phil. He immediately got straight to work by answering all my questions and advising me on a tax/business strategy for the future. Since our first consultation he has always been extremely prompt and pays very close attention to detail. I look forward to working with Crest CPAs & Consultants far into the future!

100% RECOMMEND! Phil is outstanding. We had an issue with our small business taxes from a different accountant and contacted Phil and he immediately went into action, reviewed our taxes, identified the issues, talked with us frequently to ensure the information was accurate along the way. He turned this around over the weekend! We are so grateful and so impressed with his dedication and knowledge. Such a pleasure to work with him. If I could give him 10 stars I would. We will be repeat customers forever! Thanks Phil!

Phil was incredibly prompt, helpful and professional. I personally used him for his tax services. He walked me through step by step on some things I needed clarification on to make the process run smoothly. This was also all done by convenience of email and e-documents which expedited the process. Highly recommended for any accounting services you may require.

If I could give Phil and Crest CPAs & Consultants, Ltd. more than 5 stars on here, I definitely would! He's been such a blessing to me and my company. I was referred by my sister, who spoke very highly of him and the way he does business. I needed to get some tax work done in a time crunch and Phil did not hesitate to jump right in and get it done. Phil totally went above and beyond my expectations. He is very responsive, professional and truly an expert in the matter. I highly recommend Phil and his business. Thanks so much for your help. Blessings! =)

Phil is a lifesaver! Last year, we started a small business and went through two accountants before we found Phil. He is excellent at explaining things, guiding us, and saving us probably thousands of dollars. He is knowledgeable, quick to respond to our many questions, with rates that are very, very fair. Can't recommend him enough!
