1800 Accountants vs Local

[Tyler Cox]

Hey everyone, I set up my LLC through Legal Zoom and with the business package came a free consultation with 1800 Accountants. At which point following the consultation they offered their unlimited services (access to our own personal CPA, filing both business and personal tax returns, etc.) for an annual fee of $1,400. Just curious is anyway has used them? Any recommendations for a good CPA in the Raleigh, NC area?

As a CPA who has several clients that first used 1800 accountants before coming to us, let me just advise to run very far away from them. They are absolutely awful. 

The price seems good, less than you might pay for a high level CPA, but their service is just atrocious.
