John M Borden CPA, PC

John filed our 2022 family tax returns for the first time of us using his services. I will not use him in the future nor will I recommend him to anyone.

We retained John in November of 2021 to do our businesses taxes after a pleasant interview. We paid him a retainer of 1500.00 up front and he said he would have everything done ontime for both personal and our businesses. John however did not do as he promised and was very late filing both of our businesses as well as our personal taxes. He billed us 2500.00 for each business without discussing it with us and failed to file for an extension on our farm. He does not return phone calls in a timely fasion and is very proud of his lack of professionalism, quoting me he is not the cheapest accountant. Our books were reconciled and all through quickbooks. He is not transparent on his billing and will not send out a detailed billing contract, just a 2 sentence email with his bill. John nearly had us in trouble with the IRS for his never filing of the extension. His employees are very nice however I would avoid this company.

Update today we recieved another fine from the State Department of Revenue for Borden not filing our taxes in a timely matter. Steer clear of this company.

It appears that John is capable of in person consultation and not much else. He is friendly and intelligent in person. But, its been 10 months since i asked for a tax amendment to change the number of dependents I claimed in 2020. It's almost impossible to get him to do his work, even incredibly simple tasks. I am a very patient person but this level of neglect is unprofessional and inappropriate. Now, even his bookkeeper is not returning calls and all I have asked is if December 2022 is reconciled yet. Two months and no call back. From what I have heard, I am not the only one who is baffled by the level of service provided.
