Huddleston Loreen E CPA

Beware! While Loreen appears to be a capable accountant, her rates are inflated compared to other local and established CPAs with similar tenure and experience. Our initial consultation was $ 375. After incurring this expense, Loreen advised that her preliminary tax return estimate of $ 600 would actually be $ 945, in addition to the $ 375. Given the over 50% increase of the quote and the fact that it’s not a competitive rate for a similar return prepared by her contemporaries, I asked Loreen to consider a partial refund of our introductory meeting as I had chosen to proceed with a more reasonable referral. Loreen flat out refused and went on to disparage the competition, indicating that they must work for H&R Block and therefore charge less. She went on to characterize my request for partial refund as ‘extortion,’ inflate the time we spent together, and indicate that my leaving a review is ‘threatening’ and ‘bullying.’ I am so thankful that I encountered this experience with Loreen BEFORE entrusting her with my tax return. Steer clear of this one.

Loreen Huddleston is a very important resource to me and my small business, not only during tax season, but throughout the year when I need tax advice about various tax-​related issues that come up with my business and family situation (son in college, auto purchases, house upgrades, etc.).
When it comes to filing my taxes, Loreen provides easy to use tools which streamline the process enormously for me and for our F2 °F meeting time. I always feel as if Loreen is making sure that I have considered all possible allowable write-​offs and opportunities to minimize my tax liability without putting me at risk of audit. I’m not looking for ways to trick the IRS… I just want to make sure I’m not paying more in taxes than I should and she is a terrific resource for that.
In a nutshell: I highly recommend working with Loreen for taxes/​tax expertise!
