When finding tax and accounting help, it can be hard to determine who is a superstar and who is nonresponsive. The TaxBuzz Top 50 recognizes the best-reviewed and highest-rated CPAs, EAs and tax professionals of 2016.

This year’s list is headlined by Dennis O’Connor, EA, from San Diego Tax Man. He attracted 55 reviews from clients, who praised the quality of his services and his responsiveness. Another common theme of his reviews is his trustworthiness. Like the other top-rated professionals on the TaxBuzz Top 50, Dennis has very solid personal relationships with his clients. This year’s list is made up of professionals from across the country, and it includes 18 Certified Public Accountants and 23 Enrolled Agents.

A review left for five-star rated CPA Christi Bender was consistent with what many clients had to say about those in the TaxBuzz Top 50: “She is trustworthy, very responsive and extremely knowledgeable. She is very personable and always makes you feel that she has your best interest as a priority. Five stars across the board - always!”

The TaxBuzz Top 50 was put together based on a formula that included quality and quantity of reviews, background screenings and much more.
