Akin Business Service

Our business has had Josh Whitfield (CPA) prepare our tax returns (both business and personal) for several years and we feel so comfortable knowing there's no need worry about it getting done right the first time! Josh also helps us with our Quicken software any time we have questions. Josh is very professional and charges reasonable rates. We would recommend Akin Business Services to any business or individual for their tax service needs. David & Tracey Throckmorton, Owners Throckmorton's Watch & Jewelry Store more

I have been a customer of Akin Business Service for over five years and they prepare both my corporate and personal IRS tax returns as well as handling all my required filings with the City of Austin and the State of Texas. I could not be more pleased with the prompt service I receive from both Kathy Akin as well as Josh Whitfield (a CPA designate). They ask me the ""right"" questions and provide me with excellent preparation in a professional manner. The services they provide me today were accomplished by a ""Big 6"" national accounting service and auditor for over 30-years prior and there was no ""drop"" in service when I switched to Akin. There was a considerable drop in cost however and that please me greatly. I could not recommend their services any higher!!! more

I met Josh at Akin Business through a business associate and he impressed me with his knowledge. I have had Josh handle all of my tax preparations now for 5 years and am 100% confident in the abilities of Akin Business Services. Their staff is swift and courteous and always ready to answer any of my questions. I strongly recommend them. more

As the owner of Akin Business Service, I was surprised to find the review from Old Yeller and the one saying my phone number is bad. I have been in business for over 30 years here in Austin. My phone number is good and my clients will attest to our abilities. You do not stay in business this long if you do not know what you are doing or your office is ""creepy"". Please stop by to see us. Let us help you with your tax return preparation. Check our rates. It will be hard to find a better price in town. Kathy Akin, Owner more

I started using Akin Business services for my taxes this past year and all I can say is, Thanks so much for making my life a whole lot easier during tax time! Kathy Akin and Josh Whitfield are both so great at what they do. With all of my emails and phone calls, I always got a speedy response and they talked me through any and all questions that I had. I highly recommend this company to anyone needing help with there not so simple taxes. more

I went to this ""small business solution"" book keeping / tax service place wanting the works. For them to handle my taxes, as well as take over book keeping and payroll for my small but fast-growing small business. I had a lot of questions going in. The guy I dealt with, Josh, seemed really awkward and did not make me feel confident whatsoever. But I told myself wait and see. A week after dropping off my taxes, I hadn't heard anything so I called. He told me ""he was just now getting to it"" and it would take another week. After three weeks, I just went back up there and asked if he'd started it. It was obvious he had not, so I asked for all my paperwork back and said I'd find someone else to help me. He seemed relieved. The whole place seems a little sketchy and if they don't want new business, then I don't know what they're doing. But I would stay far far away. Pros: None I could see Cons: Bad customer service / No confidence in their expertise more
