"Barton Black, CPA, is an excellent Certified Public Accountant, who is kind, considerate, honest, professional, more than capable, and all the good things that give us complete comfort and assurance in him being our accountant both for business and personal matters. Did I mention that he loves our cat, Abraham?"

"After years of doing our own taxes, my husband and I decided that we needed a professional to help us with some special tax needs regarding rental property. Barton Black, CPA, seemed the best bet, as we had known him for many years and wanted to work with someone we knew and trusted. We were very pleased with the professional way he worked with us; we continued to ask Barton to do our taxes. Three years ago, there was a death in the family, and Barton's expertise was of special importance in that tax year and the next. The tension is greatly eased when one works with a trusted tax professional."

Thank you so much! I can hardly believe it - that we could go from owing $9,000 to getting $992.30 - WOW! (they even added interest). You are worth your weight in gold!!!

"I have been a client of Barton Black CPA for a few years now. I own retail stores and get involved in some complex accounting situations. In all of the time that I have dealt with Mr. Black I have never asked him a question that he couldn't correctly answer. He didn't even have to refer to his publications. His thorough knowledge of his profession surprises me sometimes. Add that to his fast turnaround times, and the fact that he is a genuinely nice person, and you have an ideal accountant."

"Several years ago we had a complicated tax return due to an inheritance. The IRS came back and said we owed about $3000 more. Barton researched in his usual thorough way and wrote a letter to the IRS explaining the situation. We did not have to pay the additional amount due to Mr. Black's knowledge and the letter he composed for us."
