James F. Baker, CPA PA

First of all let me say that Mr. Douglas Baker is NOT a CPA. Mr. James Baker who is now deceased was a CPA and so is his son Jeffrey Baker. Most clients deal with Douglas or James I know I have over the last 10 plus years, I have never met Mr. Jeffrey Baker at all. I much like Adam in his review had an incorrectly filed tax return whereas I was blamed by this office as not turning all my forms over. I was also informed that Mr. Baker’s office was looking into this matter to which I owed over 3000 dollars in back taxes. I did hand over all documents and nothing was ever done about my situation even though a POA was on file. I feel like there is confusion because you think you’re dealing with a CPA but that isn’t the case. I actually didn’t find this out until I decided to file a complaint a

HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND! I would gladly give zero stars. Mr. Baker incorrectly filed my taxes in 2018 under the pretense that I was a private contractor deployed to a foreign country for the entire year even though I was a DOD Federal Employee gaining income through DFAS (as indicated on my W2). This prompted the IRS to audit me, and when brought to the attention of Mr. Baker there has been zero accountability or responsiveness. To the point when I called and spoke to him he told me that he was waiting to call a representative (which never happened). I even filed a Power of Attorney directly with him in his office which was never filed on my behalf. It has been 6+ years where I have entrusted Mr. Baker to work this situation, but there has been no record that he ever made any attempt.

Three months ago I asked specific questions that a CPA should be able to answer or at least acknowledge, research and then answer. Still no answer. When asked why his info was different than another "expert" his response was essentially "my other 50+ clients have been helped by my process". But, its been three months and still no process details hsve been provided. I'm not denying he and his associates are probably good at what they do. But, if my investment was too small him, I would have appreciated and respected him for being up front and saying that three month ago. I have setup LLCs for myself in the past and if that was basically all he/his team were going to do I could have done it for way less than $2000!

Frank has been our CPA for over 20 years. He also does taxes for our 3 adult children and we have referred him to several of our friends, whose children in turn, also use him as their CPA. He is always extremely helpful and very responsive to emails and phone calls. He and his son Doug, have become defacto members of our family.

Frank is an amazing CPA!!! He is very professional, personable, and knowlegable. We greatly appreciate him and will continue to use his services year after year.
