Tavola Group has been a lifesaver for me! They have been so helpful, patient, and understanding in managing my small business finances and helping me navigate the process as a new business owner. I could never have done this without them.

I was looking to connect with a real estate tax professional as I look to buy my first investment property. I got the opportunity to talk with Matt with no strings attached and free of charge. This is an organization that goes above and beyond and is willing to share their expertise. I will definitely be in contact moving forward as I expand my portfolio!

James has been an incredible asset to both our personal and business finances for many years. He currently handles our taxes through Tavola Group, and prior to that he worked directly with our company as our controller, so he knows our financial picture inside and out.
James is extremely thorough, organized, and consistently on top of every deadline—nothing ever slips through the cracks. He’s exceptionally sharp, a true wiz with statistics and spreadsheets, and always able to explain complex issues clearly and calmly.
Most importantly, James is someone I completely trust with sensitive financial information. His professionalism, attention to detail, and proactive approach provide real peace of mind.
He is absolutely worth every penny and a standout professional in his field. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Tavola prepared numerous tax returns for my small businesses and clients with investment properties. They finished the job on time. In the first year it is always tough and complex. Overall I was pleased with this service and will use them again next year.

Tavola has been an absolute asset to us. It is incredible how much their expertise has changed the level of my businesses. James Kelly is outstanding- Extremely responsive, thorough, intelligent, and quite frankly just an enjoyable person to converse with. He is able to take questions from left field and prepare a plan. I always felt uneasy with previous accountants and whether or not I was compliant in the way we do business- Tavola has put me at ease knowing I am in good hands. Kudos to this firm for all they do!

Tavola Group has been a fantastic partner for us. We were looking for a new accountant who will give more advisory services, as well as file our annual tax returns. For the same price that I was paying for just a tax filing, I am getting quarterly check-ins with actionable ideas on how to reduce our tax burden, strategic investing moves, and how our real estate investments impact our taxes and overall strategy. Plus, they are upfront about pricing at the get-go, so no more surprise bill after my taxes have been filed. Very, very happy.

I started using Tavola Group this past year to handle all of my business and personal taxes. They immediately implemented tax savings strategies for my business that I was completely unaware of and it saved me tens of thousands of dollars in taxes. On more of a personal side, what really impressed my wife and I was the fact that they took time in our initial meeting to learn all about our family and our future financial goals. They considered what was important to us and provided us with options that were thoroughly explained. They are enjoyable to work with, offer great solutions, and take a lot off of our plate.

Running a business means juggling a thousand moving parts — so when it came time to get expert guidance, I was incredibly fortunate to find the team at Tavola Group.
From the very first conversation, their communication was outstanding. I never felt like I was left in the dark or chasing down answers. Whether it was a quick update or a complex strategy discussion, the team was proactive, transparent, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed.
Sara, Matt, and James each brought their own strengths to the table, and together they went above and beyond in every way. They took the time to understand my business, not just the numbers — and that made all the difference. Their guidance was thoughtful, thorough, and always in my best interest.
If you're looking for a team that treats your business like their own and delivers exceptional service every step of the way, Tavola Group is it. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Have been clients of this group since it bought out our former accounting partnership. Used them for years. Noticed a decline in service over the past few years, but were appalled that we found ourselves this year scrambling to do our own taxes at 7:00 pm on tax day after having our file, and, ultimately, emails, phone calls, and even Facebook comments ignored. There is no way to get through to this firm when they simply don’t come through. This group just lost a very regular client (8 years? Can’t recall.) We ultimately did our taxes tonight with an online tax program when they could not - or would not - complete it for us at over 30x the cost. When we expressed concern in recent days with the tax deadline nearing, rather than reacting, they turned the blame on us! They claimed we did not respond with our information in a timely fashion. This seems odd as their own portal dates and time stamps all documentation downloads. We provided all information (but one document) within 10 business days of their initial request (by the first two weeks of February). They received the last document on March 4, immediately after we received it from our financial institution. Evidently, unless you can get them your documentation before it is actually prepared by your financial institutions, it will be your fault that your taxes won’t be completed within 2 months. Good luck to those who choose this firm in the future. No experience like it.
