5 stars Luke E Featured review
We're so stoked with DePauw Johnson for our tax and payroll services.
Michael has taken over from Andy retiring and he's so well versed in all the newest tax codes. He's saved us tons where available and our amount paid out is the lowest its ever been. Our business consistently does the same numbers every year, so having someone that is up on all the latest updates sure helps our business and personal tax situation every year. He's a wealth of knowledge!
We have also had DePauw Johnson take over our payroll this past year. It has been such an easy transition from our old ways! Suzanne is such a great help!
We can't forget Amy always answering our calls and squeezing us in when we need someone's time there, and Pat for always walking us through our basic questions!
We recommend and refer these guys to all our friends and business partners!

1. Asked for J. Johnson and was told he was not taking any new clients and would I use someone else - I said “yes” believing all employees were vetted and professional.
2. Called person assigned to me several times about sending in late estimated taxes -- never received a call back.
3. I called, texted, dropped off and emailed information required (didn’t receive acknowledgement of my tax information which was requested). Was contacted by representative requesting information that had already been sent over and was residing in her inbox.
4. There was never explanation or review of my taxes. Admin in front office handed me my taxes and told me when estimated taxes were due.
5. Disappointed in overall experience particularly communication as I was told D-J was an excellent firm and came highly recommended. I have lingering concerns over the validity and accuracy of my returns submitted due to the lack of communication.

Profoundly professional and caring treatment by all (most of staff including Janet, Diane, Dr. Obradovik, Dr. Guzman and Arron) who adjusted their day to spend so much time on my unfolding and surprising conditions that required urgent remediation prior to overseas flight which could have triggered a catastrophic event. Deep appreciation would be and understatement for the remarkable notice of a tiny black spot at the base of a gold crown by Diane that set the following investigation into high gear. With no pain involved there had been no pre-indicators but hidden condition uncovered certainly explained a previously unexplained severe nasal infection that popped up out of nowhere whilst abroad when my immune system was compromised.Read More …
