“Numbers don’t lie”
Always follow the money and the truth is revealed!
Life is a numbers game-society has been great at making us think we are measured by numbers and the IRS does a great job at confirming that. We spend days-weeks-months-and years chasing the numbers/money.
Meeting with Maggie-you are reminded you are more than numbers. Her clients are met with compassion-understanding and respect and that can’t be measured with numbers. She educated me in ways that went beyond numbers. Because she knew giving someone the knowledge they deserve to understand this numbers game we play is a powerful tool and skill they need in life. We can all agree we aren’t taught this in school.
To be able to trust someone with one of the most important things we spend our life chasing and building and that is our wealth is not easy. Being a single mother providing to raise my kids is more than just money to me. With Maggie I was not just a number she punched on a calculator. I was seen-heard-and met with compassion and she took the time to educate me in a way that reminded me we are more than just numbers- and sometimes we get lost in that loop. With Maggie you are more than just numbers being punched on a calculator- it takes a special person to accomplish the level of success-integrity- and respect for others without expecting anything in return and that is Maggie.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the outstanding services provided by Fleming & Co. As a business owner, I rely on their expertise for corporate and personal tax preparation, incorporation, bookkeeping, and payroll services for 6 + years. Their attention to detail, efficiency, and commitment to accuracy have been invaluable in keeping my business running smoothly. The team is always professional, approachable, and ready to answer any questions I have, making what could be complex processes feel seamless. I highly recommend Maggie and her entire team to any business owner looking for dependable and knowledgeable financial partners.

Fleming & Co. has been my CPA for many years. They always do a great job for me - and I am not that easy to please LOL. Maggie really knows the constantly changing Tax Codes - I really don't know how she keeps up - and gets my Taxes done on time, and gives me great advice on how to better manage my tax liabilities. She doesn't bend the rules, but she knows which legal tax strategies are best for my situation - and which ones to avoid.
They have a great team and they do my Payroll as well. Thank you Maggie for always being there for me!
★☆☆☆☆
1st. Too expensive. They charged $140 more than other CPAs.
2nd. They give you the impression that they provide older customers better prices. They don’t. They charge the same for any age.
3rd. They prepared two years of our tax returns. Slow and inadequately explained their calculations.
4th. We had to go to another CPA to get an better explanation.
5th. They try to get their bookkeeper to explain and separate the CPA. She was difficult to reach once we paid.
6th. Compare. Don’t get fooled by their initial friendly approach. It didn’t last long.
7th. Accounting software has simplified tax returns. And made it easier for CPAs and you to compare.
I am retired now and worked with several mid-size companies. I urge everyone to shop around and read the fee agreements before sign.
Compare hourly rates.
Interview them.
Read the prices.
Don’t let them increase prices.
I don’t recommend Fleming Co.
