I needed an IRS Form 1041 to be completed for my mother's estate, but I was only one week from the fiscal year deadline. Having found this responsive company, after being put off by many firms, I was pleased at the prompt and clear email communication. I cannot recommend Watter CPA high enough!

About seven years ago, we found the firm of Kenneth J. Watter, CPA. Since then, we no longer had to struggle through confusing tax codes. They prepared our returns with no errors and on time. Ken, Alice and the office staff are the best and we highly recommend them.

Ken's office has been instrumental in getting (and keeping) my tax situation organized for the last several years. Through career changes, moves, etc., they have supported my ever increasingly complex taxes. I recommend them to any friends and family.

I have had Ken and his team do my business and personal taxes for over a decade and have nothing but positive things to say. Knowledgeable, efficient, client friendly, helpful and courteous. Emails and phone calls are promptly returned. No complaints whatsoever.

In this company, I found professionalism, personal courtesy, efficiency and good natured individuals along the way. I was so relieved to be sent verification of IRS having accepted the forms during a family member's hospitalization. I cannot recommend Watter CPA high enough!
