Nine years after my previous review, we are still using Fitzpatrick & Tucker for all of our accounting needs. We know we are always in good hands with B.J. and her team. They genuinely care about you. As an example, they strategize through the year to help put you in the best tax financial position possible. Sometimes, I have questions about a journal entry, or something I can't figure out in our books, and they always respond quickly to help solve the problem. I like it that they diligently follow tax law, and that all the to-do boxes get checked off throughout the year. I don&apos

I've been working over 18 months with Fitzpatrick & Tucker on an extremely complicated Trust. Everyone is so accommodating, extremely knowledgeable (particularly regarding trusts) and very professional. Being a real estate broker, I've worked with a lot of CPAs over my 30 years and these folks are the BEST! They out shine the rest and I highly recommend them at all levels!

UNREASONABLE PRICING & REQUIREMENT
I called to arrange tax preparation services. The receptionist told me that Fitzpatrick & Tucker charges $700 for the first visit and they require you to bring your past two years of tax returns to be redone so that they can insure that they have been accurately completed.

I was looking for someone local to file an amended tax return. My previous tax preparer was located in San Leandro and I wanted someone closer to where I live in San Jose.

After some exhaustive research on the web with customer review sites like Yelp and Angieslist I decided on Welkley & Tucker (now Fitzpatrick & Tucker) because they responded so quickly to my request.

I went in and gave them all my information including my tax returns for 2016. They asked me a few questions and I was out of there in less than 40 minutes. They completed the tax amendment in about a week. I had to initiate

After countless accountants, and numerous frustrating years, I was told to speak with Welkley and Tucker. My search was finally over! It has been wonderful working with BJ. Work get done on time, professionally and most importantly, stress free. I recommend her for any of your needs, no matter how complex or difficult.

We were introduced to BJ by our retiring CPA and the first thing she did was amend the prior 3 years tax returns to take advantage of a missed write-off, netting us a nice refund! Just over a year later she led us painlessly through an IRS audit. Very grateful for that introduction as we have found BJ to be thorough, knowledgeable and responsive. An added bonus: she's super nice!

We are very thankful to have found a great accountant and advisor in BJ at Welkley & Tucker. I have always found her to be prompt, courteous, professional and caring.
We are chronically late every year in providing her with all our tax documents - but she has always done the job on time and without an issues. Would recommend her whole-heartedly.

We chose BJ and Welkley & Tucker (essentially a coin flip between my CPA and my wife's - BJ) and we've been very happy with the services. BJ is thorough and attentive and takes the time to walk us through the myriad of complications that has defined our filings the last couple of years. She's also a very, very nice person too.

BJ and the Welkley Tucker team are professional, knowledgeable, fast and efficient! After doing my own taxes for years, I finally turned to BJ and her team to file my personal income taxes which included rental property out of state -- I've never looked back! From the very start BJ patiently answered all my questions on subjects ranging from practical tax planning, to paying for our kids' college education, and strategic investment opportunities. I highly recommend Welkley Tucker, whether you are a small business owner or an individual with real estate and other investments..

Horrible service! I called today to ask some questions and the women who answer kept huffing and puffing like I was an inconvenience. My boyfriend and I have never needed a tax accountant before and being out of state I needed to ask basic questions and she didn't have the time nor care that I needed an appointment. If I could give 0 stars I would. Basic customer service skills should be a must for this company if they want to work with the public.

EXACTLY what we needed. Professional. Caring. Courteous. BJ and her crack team will offer the guidance you need to allow you to run your business without worrying about Uncle Sam coming after you.

We're not a large a business (yet) nor do we have any extra cash to spare on extra services. But this is an essential. Messing around with low end accountants will be more expensive in the long run. We needed people that were on the ball, would follow up, and help us put SANE systems in place.

Hire these people and buy me a cup of coffee after you do. It's the least you can do for me after

BJ and her team were lifesavers! My husband had fired his payroll people in the middle of 2012 and was trying to do it himself. The end of the year comes around and I can't make heads or tails of what is still owed or how to do the W-2s and paperwork. I found Welkley & Tucker through Yelp and BJ Tucker was able to see me right away. I brought a big stack of paperwork which she and her team took and in a couple of days they had it all figured out. She then referred me to a great bookkeeper to help get us more organized. She and her team were professional, caring and kept me updated

I found BJ two years ago as my taxes became very complicated due to an event and I was unsure about some aspects of it.

Knowing it was the week before tax deadlines I did not think I would find someone who could help.

Not only did I find someone willing to take me on. BJ did that with a great attitude and quickly and efficiently resolved all of my issues in a very professional manner that was easy to work with.

BJ's knowledge has depth and communicates well.

She made my life so easy I came back.

Highly recommend if you are looking for a great CPA.

My art business has been very successful recently that I needed to find someone to help with my personal and business taxes. After looking on yelp and talking to a few CPAs, I felt very comfortable with BJ and her professionalism that I chose her firm.

Not only did they help me with my taxes, they helped me with converting my Quicken data over to Quickbooks.

I am extremely satisfied with BJ and her firm. If you are looking for a CPA, Welkley & Tucker is your best choice.

BJ Tucker and her firm, Welkley and Tucker are really great. A few years ago, I changed payroll companies mid-quarter. What a mess! BJ took care of all of the correct reporting for me to the state and IRS. She's been preparing my business and personal taxes for years now and helps me avoid stupid mistakes. You can use her services with complete confidence and if for some reason you receive a letter from the IRS - just send it to BJ and its as good as gone! We all need a CPA this good.
