I thought that I had an $11k tax bill but Jerry fixed my return and it ends up that I will actually get a refund. I will never try to file my own tax returns again. And I promise that I will keep my documents in a much more organized manner. Thanks, again, Jerry for unraveling my mess and getting my returns in correctly.
Jerry and his team are very nice to work with. They make sure everything gets taken care of allowing me to sleep at night. I would recommend the BBI Team to anyone looking for a accounting help.
Jerry is one of the most helpful, intelligent, and thoughtful accountants in Columbus. Owning two small businesses without a finance background has been extremely difficult, but Jerry & BBI always have my back. It’s a great feeling when your accountant will give YOU a call and remind you to complete tasks to make sure you’re staying compliant. Highly recommend BBI to any small business owners / young professionals in the Columbus area.
Jerry Rhodes and BBI are top shelf, down to earth tax accountants and finance professionals. His approach, demeanor and knowledge of the tax codes/laws is second to none. I am a small business owner and I consistently go back to Jerry (as I have for years) for all sorts of accounting needs. From Bookkeeping, to Payroll to Tax filing…you really get great advice, work product, friendly services and reasonable pricing. I HIGHLY recommend Jerry and his firm to any business owner looking to get serious about their tax planning, and/or delegate their business bookkeeping/payroll.
