I highly recommend working with Ben Schultz! His attention to detail is unmatched. I should’ve switched to him years ago as he pointed out things I did not know about that would have saved more during tax season. He is enjoyable to work with and easy to reach. A great guy who takes pride in his work. Definitely recommend.

As a business owner and tech CEO, I needed to hire the absolute best in the industry for managing my books and filing my taxes, Schultz CPA exceeded my expectations! Ben and his team treat my company as if its their own. They run payroll, file taxes, and even handled everything financial during the transaction of my acquisition. Ben is always easy to reach and available to answer complicated financial questions and provide reports on-the-spot when I need them. I highly recommend Schultz CPA for every business owner and startup to help keep the books up to date and on track. The best CPA in Columbus

Ben Schultz and team completed my 2018 tax return timely and accurately. From start to finish my taxes were filed in less then a week. They are easy to work with and very knowledgeable. If your looking for a tax professional I highly recommend Ben Schultz. As a long time user of turbo tax I’m glad I switched to a professional who could maximize my refund with ease at a very competitive rate!

Schultz CPA did an excellent job with my taxes (this year and historical). I have had numerous issues with the IRS for amending previous taxes to claim a homebuyer loan refund and utilizing this company's services has allowed me to recoup $4000 I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. Further, I have started a small business in which I have received guidance for estimated taxes to avoid future fees and adequately plan for this fiscal year. Further, I appreciate detailed instructions for exactly who to mail each form to and always receive extremely prompt feedback. Very professional. Definitely

It's been a breath of fresh air to work with Ben and the team at Schultz CPA. Through their leadership, we've streamlined processes and continue to automate as much as possible. They have taken out financial ambiguity, and we are now able to see very granularly into all financial aspects of the business. Additionally, they've helped find operational and tax savings, and review continuously as if it's their own company's money. I highly recommend working with this team.

My husband and I were overwhelmed with setting up all of the necessary accounting for a new business. Ben guided us through the process and has been a great resource for us ever since we started working with him. Ben also handled our personal tax filing and provided us with very helpful tax advice. He's smart and knows all the details, and he's also easy to reach and happy to answer questions and explain his work. I'd recommend Ben to anyone.

I had Bernard Schultz handle my taxes recently and I could not be happier with service that he provided. He was able to take care of my return in a timely manner and I have the utmost confidence in the quality of his work. He is a very personable character and takes great pride in his work. Also, I found that the online portal made it easy, and convenient to upload all of my documents. There is no question that I will be calling him again next January for his services.
