Report
This company is a joke. I do bookkeeping for a company that used them. They're impossible to get a hold of, nothing gets done. Kevin never answers his phone and then denies that you leave him several voicemails. Our taxes have been late because they don't know what deadlines are. It's costed us thousands of dollars in penalties. We have a new accounting company now who has since done year end.
Desai & associates completely destroyed our company data. No adjusting entries were made or recorded. Our new accountant is going through hell trying to get a hold of them
Just a complete joke. Save yourself
