I would like to acknowledge Markios Accounting & Tax Services for their outstanding, top-notch tax preparation and guidance. Not only have they prepared my taxes, but they have also taught me how to understand them and why it is important to know what can and cannot be deducted when filing business taxes versus personal taxes.
For the past three years, Mrs. Mercedes and Mr. Malone have been my business tax preparers, and I am truly appreciative of everything I have learned along the way. They have been professional, patient (especially with all of my unorganized paperwork ), thorough, and extremely knowledgeable about the latest tax laws and regulations.
Mrs. Mercedes makes sure that I have provided every piece of necessary documentation—leaving no stone unturned. She takes her time and carefully reviews each section to ensure nothing is missed. She records all of my deductions line by line and explains how deductions are itemized so that I fully understand the process.
When it comes to customer service, I consider myself a bit of a “special case.” Service has to be exceptionally great and trustworthy before I give my personal stamp of approval. Because Markios Accounting & Tax Services provides such outstanding and thorough service, I have confidently referred both family and friends. After referring my daughter for her business taxes, she was so pleased with her experience during her first year that she is now a committed client as well. She too is benefiting from those valuable teachable moments.
Mrs. Mercedes—my “tax guru”—once sent me a helpful reminder that has stuck with me:
“Anything that is ordinary and necessary can be considered a business write-off.”
That simple message has helped me think differently about my business finances.
Markios Accounting & Tax Services does far more than simply prepare taxes. They go above and beyond to ensure that your business paperwork is organized and that you understand both business and personal tax matters. Every time I speak with Mr. Malone, there is always a teachable moment. He often uses his whiteboard to visually explain what can and cannot be claimed and how deductions truly work. His monthly “Real World Personal Strategy Notes” are also incredibly helpful. Through real examples and scenarios, he shares practical wisdom that continues to educate and empower his clients. What I appreciate most is his genuine passion for sharing knowledge.
I am truly grateful for their dedication and for the confidence they have helped me build in managing my business finances. Because of them, I have significantly improved my record-keeping and documentation. I have come a long way since my first year—and now that this is my third year, I’m proud to say I didn’t get put in “time-out” for having papers all over the desk this year! (At least I think so 😊)
Additionally, I want to thank Donna, who always takes the time to answer my many questions whenever I call. She is consistently pleasant, professional, and patient—qualities that make every interaction a positive experience.
If you are looking for a thorough, knowledgeable, and professional business tax preparer who truly cares about educating their clients, I highly recommend Markios Accounting & Tax Services. They don’t just prepare your taxes—they help you understand them.
