Edward C. Winter - the tax preparer at Meka financial services has screwed up not only my taxes but that of 3 of my friends at the same time. He did not file extension for us when he promised us that he did. As a result we were slapped with fines from the IRS. When asked, Edward continued to insist that he filed an extension by mail but had no proof. He is extremely hard to reach, very assuming and impolite in his conversations and biggest of all, not trustworthy. I compared his numbers from mine and even I could point out a number of mistakes he made - which he corrected when pointed to, but wait, the only reason I want a CPA is so he doesn't make such mistakes. I would almost refer him to the office of professional responsibility but decided against it for the only reason that I didn't want to lose my own peace of mind even thinking about it.

Since I rely so much on Internet reviews for professional services, it is only in the interest of others who wish to be more careful in their selection of tax professionals that I feel obligated to make these remarks.
