I have used Doug for a couple of my accounting needs. Each time hes been very professional and knowledgeable about what was needed. He provided the services quickly and at a reasonable rate. I highly recommend Doug if you need a qualified CPA.

I google CPA near me and Doug Zandstra popped up first. All I needed was help with filling out a 518 form, Doug took time and helped me fill it out. He was helpful, funny and patient. I will call him to do all my taxes. He is very thorough. Thank you.

Ive always done my own taxes, but this year I decided it wasnt worth the stress. After my first phone call with Doug, I decided hell be our tax preparer for all future returns. I felt a weight lifted just after one conversation. Our tax forms were thorough and completed quickly. Hes gained a new regular!

I located Doug on the internet and read all positive reviews. I was very pleased how professional and efficient he is with his clients. Doug took out the time to answer all my questions and explain his process. I was concerned that I will owe taxes and Doug found tax credits for me that I knew nothing about. I am very pleased with his service and would highly recommend him to handle your taxes!

Great experience there! Very understanding of my situation and had great and accurate administrative actions!

Doug is awesome! Very affordable and quick turn around. He found tax credits that I didnt realize I qualified for as a renter. His correction to my 2017 tax return not only paid for his services (including my 2018 returns) but it put money in my pocket! His office is easy to find and parking is validated. Even better, Doug asked where I parked so I didnt have to remember to ask for the validation! I appreciate excellent customer service and Doug has that in spades. I am recommending him to everyone I know!

Doug never returned our calls. We left messages with his receptionist and she was not helpful and just keep saying Doug would call us to schedule an appointment. It’s been 3 weeks now with no call, so we decided to go with the real professionals at H&R Block

I am currently working with Doug through some stuff. Doug can do get you where you need to be. He is a very chill guy and really easy to talk with. Especially coming from someone who knows nothing about taxes. His prices are very reasonable. Especially for what he got me. Always answered my questions and got back to me faster then I expected.

Working with Doug was way faster and easier than trying to use tax software. He made the whole process painless, and he was so fast. Not only did he do my taxes, he found a mistake I had made last year meaning Ill get money back.

So glad to have found Doug. He took wonderful care of our personal and business taxes this year. He helped us understand each question we had in depth and was just a really down to earth person. We will be back, every year!

I contacted Doug with a urgent need to file my taxes quickly. He was professional and timely in his attention to my needs. I could not have asked for a better tax preparer. Thanks, Doug!

Doug was able to navigate some complicated business and personal tax scenarios for me about 10 years ago and has been great ever since. He is pleasant to work with and completed the work in a timely fashion. Highly recommend for anyone’s tax needs

Doug was very helpful! This year I had the most complicated tax return I’ve ever had. I usually file taxes on my own, but Doug was so helpful and was able to get my biggest refund yet that I will definitely be returning next year! He made everything so simple, easy and fast and his pricing is extremely reasonable.

Doug and his team were great to work with. I have always done my own taxes and this was my first year working with an accountant which I was very nervous about and he made it a very easy and painless process. Thanks again!

Working with Doug has been excellent! I thought my taxes were going to be complicated and take forever to get done, but Doug made the entire process much less stressful than I could have imagined. He works extremely fast, communicates often and explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. I wanted the best CPA in the city when I moved to Grand Rapids, and I’m confident that I found him!

This is my 4th tax filing with Doug Zandstra and every year has been flawless! Speedy, accurate, and makes the whole process very easy to navigate. Doug and the team are wonderful, grateful for them every year!

After a frustrating few years with Turbo Tax telling us to pay way too much (self-employed), and frankly not knowing enough about taxes, we showed up to Doug’s office. Within a few days, Doug had our returns ready and saved us a couple thousand dollars. It really was a great experience!

He was very professional and fast! I tried to go through h&r block but they were more hassle than theyre worth. He picked up his own phone and got me in the next day with everything filed the day after. He is very reasonable and accommodating. I highly recommend Mr Zandstra for any financial needs.

We have a very unique business in Grand Rapids Michigan as a film studio. We were searching for months for a person that was willing to take on our unique tax situation, and while there were multiple people interested in reviewing our company, none gave us the confidence that they would handle our business correctly.Doug was able to talk with us on how he could manage our taxes, and was even willing to do extensive research on the tax laws that are specific to our industry. Through the last three years, Doug has never let us down, and he is always timely and accurate with our tax returns. He goes above an beyond by discussing tax questions with our individual investors, and has been able to make the process very simple. As well as providing our tax returns, he gives me the confidence to discuss accounting matters with my investors, and is always there to help me better understand their questions.If you are looking for someone to give you personal attention, to give your investors the confidence in your business, and to be on time and accurate, Doug is the accountant for you! Thanks Doug.

After not having such a great experience last year my wife and I decided to try Doug and his team for our tax needs this year. We were glad we did!! He made some very helpful recommendations that saved us a significant amount of money and was very communicative and efficient with the whole process. Highly recommend Doug and crew for tax needs!!

Usually I do my own taxes but I ran into some confusion in 2018, so I had to file both years at once this year. I was worried I would make a mistake or get myself in more trouble so I asked Doug for help. He quickly handled everything and I barely lifted a finger. Thankfully; Doug has a secure file server and texting capabilities for his clients. I was also able to text Doug any time and I was happy to know my data was secure. I am an IT technician and I greatly appreciated this, I have a busy schedule and this greatly helped accommodate my needs. I did find his pricing to be a little high, but given the simplicity of it all, and my own peace of mind, I would probably do it again.Thanks Doug!

Doug was helpful in so many ways. I called him out of the blue and was in a panic about my current pay rate and tax information at a new job of mine and he told me to come in and talk to him and hed help me through it the best he could. He was patient and understanding. I know nothing about numbers and taxes so to have someone so willing to help me was amazing. He was professional yet down to earth and very knowledgeable. He was kind and upbeat which helped ease my mind. All around, very positive and great experience.

Scheduled an appointment online - in advance of my requested date/time - Doug reached out to gather more information and it turned out no appointment necessary.many thanks, Doug!i was more than willing to schedule an appointment and pay for advice. your advance call and clarity saved us - both - time/money.i will definitely call you when the need arises to seek advice. - VTL

I first hired Doug to help me set up my S Corp in 2009 and have had him do my personal and business taxes each year since. Hes been by far the best business investment Ive made. Hes always helped me get the best possible outcome for both my business and personal taxes, and he makes the process fast, simple and painless. For a creative like me, thats invaluable! Plus, hes just plain fun to do business with. I couldnt recommend Doug more highly - well worth the investment for any small business owner.

I found Doug on google when I needed my tax return done in an emergency. I received a notice that my taxes were not done properly, and I was going to have to pay an additional almost $10,000. Doug quickly found the error corrected it, and I paid zero extra out of pocket. He is very knowledgeable and an all around nice guy. I highly recommend and will have my returns done by him from here on out.

Ive used TurboTax for years until this year (2019). After finding out TurboTax was a terrible company I refused to continue using them. A quick Google search led me to Doug and the positive reviews. I can confirm and recommend him. Went on a Monday with my tax forms and on Wednesday the paperwork was ready for me to sign. Great work and very friendly.

I found out about Doug by reading his excellent google reviews. I usually do my taxes through an online program, but was very pleased at how easy it was to get my taxes done this year in person. Doug was very nice and knowledgeable. This was the largest return Ive gotten in years. Highly recommend.

I came to Doug with a mess of a tax situation going back 7 years and with poor records of my transactions. I was happy Doug took me on as a customer and could not be more pleased with the outcome. He took care of everything for me and with little work on my part. This was exactly what I needed because the task was extremely overwhelming for me.Dougs work was worth way more than his fees. I could not recommend this man any more! Thank you Doug!

I called up Doug for Tax Preparation services late January. He was quick, efficient, and friendly.He completed my returns extremely quickly, and I will plan to use his services in the future!

Doug came highly recommended to me through my network of friends. I have been extremely happy with his services, availability, quick turn-around on requests, and his expertise. Doug has been very helpful over the last few years with my personal and business accounting needs. Thanks Doug!

I have been working with Doug for 10 years and this CPA has never let me down. He is extremely professional, kind and caring. He has always got back to me in a timely manner and always has the answers I need. I have and would recommend Dougs firm knowing they will be in great hands.

Ive always done my taxes on my own however this past year I had a lot of financial changes. I went to Doug in search of help and he was extremely friendly and helpful, talking me through the entire process to make sure I understood not only the what but the why of everything. I highly recommend visiting Doug if youre ever in need of help, he and his staff are very friendly and accommodating.

Mr. Zandstra is personable and professional. His knowledge of current tax law and the implications for our business proved valuable - a welcome voice of guidance..

Doug was very attentive to my questions and concerns throughout this entire process. He really made working through business and personal tax issues seem so easy and stress free. He worked very hard to utilize his experience in guiding me and looking out for my best interests. I would highly recommend him.

This was our first time having our taxes prepared by Doug and we are very pleased with his service. Responds quickly to emails and phone calls. Very professional, reasonably priced and we will definitely be returning next year.

I recently became an Independent Contractor, and at the time my husband was still salaried. I felt like I was in over my head, so I reached out to Doug. Hes the best! Made my husband and I feel at ease right away because hes just so knowledgeable. There were tons of tips he had for me, not only for that year I was filing, but also for book-keeping moving forward. Hes always been readily available to us for questions, which I greatly appreciate. I definitely recommend Doug Zandstra.

We met Doug at a trade show 10 years ago. It didnt take long talking to him to figure out we wanted him to take over the tax returns for our businesses and personal. We have been extremely happy with his services and the money he has saved us over high corporate prices. He is quick to call back and return emails with any questions that we have. Extremely happy client!

H&R block messed up my 2015 tax return and the amendment to correct it. Doug stepped in and turned around an accurate amendment in 2 days!! Thanks Doug for the excellent work, quickly.Update: I had Doug do my 2017 return as well as fix my previously reviewed issue from my old 2015 return. Doug was fast, excellent communication and thorough layout of what needs to happen going forward. I highly recommend using Doug for tax service. I have had nothing short of a favorable experience.

I used Doug for my taxes the first time in 2015, he did a fantastic job keeping me in the loop as to what was going on and his turn around time was second to none. He is very professional but does a good job making sure you understand what is going on every step of the way. I would recommend him to anybody looking to get their taxes done or any other CPA related work. I will be going back this year for sure. P.S. I absolutely love his file cabinet system, make sure to ask about it.

My husband and I used Doug Zandstra for the first time this year in 2016 and were very impressed with his professional services. He made the process very easy for us and handled it in a very timely manner. His prompt replies were very appreciated! I recommended him to my parents and they are using him this year as well. I highly recommend him to anyone as they will not be disappointed!

Doug has been doing my 1040 for the past 6 years. Doug has a wealth of knowledge and an understanding of the accounting field. He is great at what he does. I would recommend Doug Zandstra for any of your personal or business tax needs. Thanks again Doug for all the help over the years. It has been a pleasure to work with you. Keep up the good work.

A fantastic resource! Doug and his team took care of everything.Professional, quick, accurate - Ill never do my own taxes again! Highly recommended. Thank you.

Went above and beyond for me. I would have had a very tough time filing on my own in an atypical circumstance. Couldnt recommend higher!

Our tax situation was complicated this year and we turned to Doug for help. He was highly recommended by several colleagues and I can certainly attest as to why. He is professional, extremely knowledgeable and completed everything in half the estimated time. We are so happy we found Doug and will be using him for many years to come.Update for 2019: We used Doug again this year and can honestly say he is the best in town! He turned a complicated tax situation into a breeze by taking away all of our headaches and handling everything with ease. He will forever have our business.

My wife, Deb, and I have relied on Doug for tax advice and preparation for many years now. We love his willingness to listen and suggest alternatives. Hes knowledgeable, reliable, and just a down right good guy! Our latest meeting was to discuss our investments. It was good to have someone we trust look over our portfolio and give us options. We highly recommend Doug for just about anything financial.

After years of turbo-taxing, my wife and I turned to a local CPA. We had some very tricky complications to be navigated that were over our heads. Within the first 5 minutes of my first visit with Doug, he was able to sort out what would need to happen and guide us through the process. From that point forward, Doug made the process a zero-effort affair for us that exceeded our expectations.Working with Doug was convenient, expedient and enjoyable. These are adjectives that are so rarely associated with filing taxes that we definitely plan to work with Doug on future filings.

Doug has done my Taxes for more than 15 years. I wouldnt go to anyone else! Quick, professional service with a well organized folder every year for my files. He always answers questions and emails throughout the year and his rates are very reasonable. Update: As always, Doug did a great job this year and I especially appreciate the organized folder I get back with copies of my returns, all my documents organized, and a summery of my refunds.

Doug was great! He made tax season very easy for me and my wife! He does things right, and hes quick to help if you have questions.

My husband and I have been so pleased with our experience with Doug. We moved to Michigan in 2017 and were both dreading the process of having to move our businesses and filing tax returns in a new state. Doug made the process easy and seamless. Dare I say that I even look forward to tax season next year.

Doug is professional, approachable, thorough, and quick to respond to emails, calls, and appointments. He also has a fun sense of humor and makes doing your taxes much less of a chore. I have really enjoyed working with him and feel confident that I am getting my taxes done correctly, efficiently, and with extra care.I highly recommend his services.

Once again Doug has done a great job and has made the tax process manageable. He is very good at what he does and has streamlined the process from the review to receiving the return. The timeline was efficient and completed in a short amount of time. Im very glad I connected with Doug over 10 years ago and would recommend anyone needing tax assistance to give Doug a call.

I recently moved from the east coast to Michigan and finding the right CPA to complete my taxes was a top priority. Doug is personable, fantastic to work with, extremely efficient, and goes above and beyond for his clients. I highly recommend him!

After moving to Grand Rapids a few months ago, I dreaded the process of finding a new tax preparer for our complicated business returns. After reviewing our options, I chose Doug based on his numerous 5-star reviews. Doug went above and beyond. He is fast, friendly, and suggested changes that will greatly reduce our tax burden in the future. His services are also very reasonably priced - I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Doug and his entire team are outstanding. Great guest service from his staff and Doug himself was always available to answer any questions I had. Job well done!

Very fast and experienced. Knows what he is doing. Takes care of things quickly and accurately. Going back again next year.

Found Doug by Google search and he turned out to be excellent to work with. You must schedule an appointment to go over your tax documents and situation as a new client. Doug will then complete the appropriate tax forms, in my case Federal, State and Local. Theres a secure sharefile site where you can upload documents to or view progress. I recommend Doug Zandstras services.

I have never had a professional file my taxes but after getting married my wife and I decided to have a local CPA review our taxes. After searching the internet, I came across Dougs reviews and decided to set up a meeting with him. Within the first 5 minutes of my visit with Doug, he was able to sort through and identify some areas of concern and also provide some great recommendations to fix these concerns. Doug took all the confusion of the tax process and broke it down to simple terms and made it easy to understand. He was very professional and enjoyable to work with. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a CPA to give Doug a call. I will definitely be going back to him for our future filings! Thanks Doug!

Doug was friendly, fast, and thorough with my tax return. Answered any questions I had. I would definitely recommend and return next year for my 2019 tax return.

After meeting with Doug today for the first time I was very pleased. He was extremely professional and helpful. Wish I would of met him years ago. Would highly recommend him!

It was our first time using Doug for business tax returns this year and he was very helpful. Hes smart, efficient, and quick at responding even at the busiest time of the year. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a reliable accountant that knows what he is doing.

I schedule an tax interview to discuss filing options with Doug. Im new to the GR area, and picked Doug based on reviews so though Id leave one in kind. Ive rated 4 stars since it was just a pre tax meeting and didnt use Doug to file. He was very candid and informative, and spent more time with me than what was allocated. I would recommend Doug based on our conversation and his lengthy experience in practice.

I have used their services for two years now and feel that I get the experience and knowledge of a large tax prep company, but the customer service of a small one. Highly recommended. Doug and his staff are personable and attentive. This is appreciated.

This was my first time using a CPA for my taxes. Dougs process is very straightforward and organized. My return arrived with step by step instructions to walk me through what I needed to provide and where things needed to be sent.

Doug was extremely friendly and efficient. He answered all of our questions and was patient with us. I would highly recommend him. Doug is definitely a tax professional not just a tax preparer.

I was employed by Doug for a tax season and absolutely loved it! He was a great mentor and boss. He also is very careful and pays attention to each and every detail in the tax returns given to him. Recommended to everyone that comes to me with similar requests!

Doug is exceptional at what he does. Hes been our personal and business tax accountant for 8 years and has continued to impress us with his efficiency, knowledge and guidance related to helping us file our taxes expertly while maximizing tax savings. Were so grateful for his excellent work on our behalf.

Very good results with savings of almost $10,000. Mr Zandstra works hard and stays in close contact during the process. I would say his work and results were amazing.

Had Doug do my taxes this year when it got a bit too complicated for me to do with TurboTax (a move, job switch, bought a house, etc...) and Doug handled it wonderfully. Great guy to work with, great staff, and finished everything quickly! 10/10 will go back next year, without a doubt.

I called (as a new customer) Monday morning a week before tax deadline and they gave me an appointment the very next day! Very affordable and quick, he was able to do my simple taxes while I waited. I was in and out in under an hour. Very professional, friendly and accommodating. I will be going back next year!

Doug has prepared our business tax returns for the past 10 years (at least). There are two things that make his service invaluable. One is that he pokes us a couple of time throughout the year to be sure we are collecting the items we will need at year end. Two, he has an easy to follow list of documents that we need to gather and provide him so that our return is accurate and thorough. Im not an accountant, and dont wish to be. Doug speaks to me like a businessman and takes care of me like an accountant. I cannot imagine having anyone else prepare our returns!

My first appointment with Mr. Zandstra today...provided a sense of extreme knowledge of tax law, and I feel very confident with him handling my specific , unique tax year. His manner is polite, and down to earth.I would recommend Doug Zandstra to anyone seeking a new CPA!

Doug is very knowledgeable about his field and various ways to network within it. His insights are invaluable and helpful to anyone that sits down and has a conversation with him. If you thought all accountants were boring people, you couldnt be more wrong about Mr. Zandstra.

I have been going to Doug since 2009, and we will never go anywhere else! He has helped me so much over the years, since becoming self-employed, and navigating me through the tax process. He is so kind, and always makes time for me, even during the busy season. He immediately responds to Hangout messages, phone calls, and emails, and i love that everything is saved online.

Been using TurboTax since my first W2 but through Doug Zandstra, I learned that I have been filling incorrectly and he assured me that his services will get it right. I was impressed and super confident not to mention everything was organized and laid out clearly when I got my Tax Return Packet. I will be coming back to see Doug Zandstra from now on!
