Alliance Financial & Income Tax

Mike and his team know what they are doing. They are there for you and will do everything they can to help you. Very thorough and affordable. It's easy, drop off a pile of paperwork and pick up a well organized professionally created booklet of tax filings for the year.

Working with Mike Mead and Alliance Financial was a fantastic experience! They are incredibly knowledgeable and professional. I definitely felt as though I could trust them to help me do what was best for my taxes and with my money! I appreciate Mike’s honesty and candid responses to my questions. I would highly recommend Mike and his team of tax and financial professionals especially if you have a small business!

The short version. They shorted me thousands of dollars and then wouldn't return my calls or emails.

The Long Version
I used Alliance Financial with Mike Mead to file my 2014 income tax returns. They filed my returns without my authorization and I was shorted $2,514.75 and my state tax return was rejected. I had questions concerning the rental property deductions that were inaccurate prior to my returns being filed. I have email correspondence documenting my questions about my return and Alliance Financial’s requests for my authorization signature to file my returns.

I had a phone interview with Mike Mead on a Friday where I explained the errors in the rental property deductions. I told him I would sign the authorization form once the deductions were corrected. I was told he would look into it. I received my return the following Monday. (Meaning my returns were already submitted during my conversation with Mike Mead and I never signed the authorization form.) I contacted them repeatedly through email and phone calls and never received a return call or email.

I had to pay another accountant to file an amended return which was approved by the IRS. The cost of the original return to Alliance Financial $410, correcting the return $2,060, and the lawyer $730.87 I paid to send Alliance Financial a letter requesting reimbursement of the costs ended up costing $3,200.87. I received the remainder of my federal tax return in February 2016 for $2,514.75 and my state tax return of $904 was received in January 2016 after being resubmitted by the other accountant.

Mike and his staff are true professionals. I had a terrible experience with another CPA and Alliance got my business on track! Their expertise is appreciated along with their patience in teaching and directing me through the many challenges of self-employment. THANK YOU!

Mike, without a doubt, knows what he is doing when he prepares my tax returns. I have used him for several years and wouldn't think of using anyone else. His fees are about one-fourth of what others charge. Not only does he prepare tax returns, but he performs a wide range of other financial services, i.e., investments, life insurance, and he is always available year around to answer any questions I may have. Mike is trustworthy, very knowledgeable, professional, and he always does an outstanding job. He goes that extra mile for each and everyone of his clients. When I go into his office, I am always greeted by a friendly face and I never feel like I am just "another" number. I would highly recommend Mike and his staff to get the job done in a professional and timely manner. Feel free to visit his website at afitonline.com to learn more about him and his team. Also, he has a newsletter that you can sign up to receive which is full of valuable information.

Dear Mike,

As you know I was looking for an affordable way to have my taxes filed and still get a thorough job done at a reasonable price. For the past several years I had used a rather high dollar corporate accounting firm that had charged a lot and not done that good of a job. My son & his wife who are also clients of yours had heard me complain about the price I was paying to have my taxes done and the haphazard way they were being handled and they recommended you.

When I went on line to make an appointment to come in to your offices I found your web sight easy to follow and use. The day of my appointment the weather was bad so I called and contacted a friendly staff member who advised that you were seeing your clients and to come on in. On our arrival my wife and I were greeted by friendly people who made us comfortable while we waited for our appointed time.

It was a pleasure to meet you and found you not only personable but also interested in getting all of our information. We were in and out in no time and a few short days later we received a call that our returns were ready. When I came in to get the results you answered all of my questions and advised me on what if anything I needed to change for next year regarding withholding etc. Everything was handled with little effort on my part and with e filing all that is left is to sit back and wait for my refunds! Best of all your fees were a fourth of what I had been paying elsewhere.

All in all we were very pleased with our experience with your office and the results. We look forward to seeing you again next year and in the meantime reading the monthly newsletters. It is also good to know that you are available year round for any questions or concerns.

Thanks for a great job!

Irina & Mike

I want to tell you that your work is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for being a family friendly company and making sure that your customers feel like family.



Looking forward to many years to come.



Thanks, Chris and Amanda

Mike and the team at Alliance is on top of their game. If you need Accounting, Financial, Life Insurance or just plain ole advice on something, GO SEE MIKE! I am now setting up my second business and would not consider anyone else taking care of all those things that must be done to set up S Corps and get business financials together for the banks. Do you really want to keep going back to those impersonal, on every corner tax places just because they have a quirky person standing on the side of the road waiving to you? Go to someone you can count on each and every time -ALLIANCE FINANCIAL, the best team on the block!!!"

Mike handled an IRS issue for me that resulted from using Turbo Tax on a business return. He calmed my concerns, reviewed all the returns and made corrections, then handled all communication with the IRS to resolve the situation, saving me thousands of dollars in the process. He will be handling my business finances for many years in the future.

A note to everyone looking for a good tax provider. We just love working with Mike- we can drop things off and know that everything is handled. He is not only a great tax professional but a really wonderful and honest person. Both my husband and I actually like when we have to bring our stuff into the office so that we get to say hi and chat for a while. We would recommend Mike to anyone looking as we feel secure that if we would ever need anything he would be there no question!! visit his website at www.AFITonline.com

Mike Mead is a rare combination of knowledge expert, client champion, and tough advisor all rolled into one individual. I first used Mike to advise and assist in the set up of my business. I quickly learned to lean on Mike as a trusted tax advisor, and perhaps more importantly, a respected and valued business mentor. His direct, yet personable style generates confidence in his clients. Mike anticipates questions and provides answers, often when the client isn't even sure what information they need. He champions individual's passions and pursuits while understanding the limitations that one often faces when starting a new venture. His work is timely, reasonably priced and of exceptional quality. I gained expert tax recommendations, business advice and a mentor all with my first call to Alliance Financial and Income Tax. I now confidently recommend Mike and his team to my family, my friends and business colleagues. Check out his website at www.afitonline.com to learn more.

Mike and his staff at Alliance Financial are top notch. Meeting with Mike to discuss him becoming my CPA was such a blessing. He is so knowledgable and he was able to guide me thru the maze of reforming my company from a Sole Prop. into an LLC with all the tax benefits of an S Corp. I will literally save THOUSANDS of dollars in taxes this next year and the years to come. Thank you so much Mike.
