Testimonials

After our CPA of 30 years retired and sold to a new owner, we went from having best-of-class service to being ghosted and missing this year’s filing. Thankfully, we found Krowne! They understood the urgency of our situation and prepared and filed our return with blinding speed. They are a joy to work with, are ethical, and deliver on their commitments. That means everything to us. We’re now leveraging their services for more than taxes.

I was introduced to Barry of Krowne CPA through my attorney and now that I have worked with Barry for over a year I understand why the attorney had so much respect for him and why she felt it he is *the* professional to work with.

Barry was an instrumental advisor for me during my divorce. I truly relied on his expertise to guide me and more than anything, I knew he’s got my back and that I could rely on him to understand tax and other implications of my options and decisions.

What I particularly appreciate is that, unlike other accountants I worked with who mainly focus on past events, Barry also practices strategic forward thinking. He is always a few steps ahead. I was really impressed with his questions that in turn made me feel like I have truly thought through my decision.

Further, Barry has an in-depth understanding of operating a business. Guess who will be doing my business taxes. 🙂

Last, Barry is something that is becoming rarer by the minute: a great communicator.

Bottom line, he fully earned my trust, as a CPA and as an advisor.

I very rarely write reviews but i felt that I needed to as Barry Krowne came through big time. I had a mid 6 digit problem that I was not comfortable dealing with myself. I’ve been doing my taxes myself for years (I am a retired CPA). I realized I was in a significant bind with regards to filing various partnership returns. I had the IRS on my back and I did not know which way to turn. This was way above my pay grade. I also realized I needed someone much smarter than me. An attorney friend recommended Barry. I can tell you if you are looking for cheap he is the wrong person. You get what you pay for. Thank you Barry.

Since 2020, our family has entrusted Krowne CPAs to manage our intricate tax requirements, including trusts, rental properties, and real estate sales. Barry’s comprehensive knowledge across multiple disciplines of tax law has been invaluable, offering essential guidance and ensuring our returns are meticulously prepared and submitted on schedule. His prompt responses and good-natured approach have made navigating tax seasons far less intimidating, demonstrating that no query is too minor when it comes to tax matters.

In addition to Barry, Art, Kay, and Wendy have also been instrumental. Their professionalism and respect have consistently supported us during stressful times. We’re grateful to the entire team for their expertise and dedicated service.

I was trying to do taxes myself this year, but instead asked the pros at Krowne to handle them after seeing all their amazing reviews. It ended up being a no-brainer because it not only freed up my time, but gave me peace of mind that everything was going to be done right. Andrew and the team were excellent. Very personable, professional, with me each step of the way, and quick to respond to any questions I had. I’ll be back again next year.

Thank you!

I started working with Barry after my previous CPA misfiled a disability distribution. Barry did extensive research on the law and was able to refile and saved me a significant amount on my personal taxes. He is always available for advise and easily accessible. We also have the pleasure of filing our corporate taxes with Krowne CPAs. Andrew has been a significant help in organizing our online data (through Quickbooks), a service we never previously had. Both Andrew and Barry’s sense of humor makes the tax process as pleasurable as it can be, when dealing with taxes :). The office is a family run professional company. We are so grateful we found them.

To say that the staff at Krowne Certified are amazing is an understatement!

After calling CPA after CPA I really started to believe that my tax issue was hopeless. Andrew and the staff at Krowne Certified understood the challenge and took it on anyways. I could not be more grateful for their hard work and dedication. It is extremely hard to find honest caring professionals in this world and that is exactly what you will get with Krowne Certified. If you are reading this and are on the fence about calling, believe when I say these guys are truly amazing! My only regret is that I didn’t find Krowne sooner. Thank you so much Andrew!

I have had the pleasure of working with Art and Andrew over the last year and a half. They are truly great people and great at what they do. I would recommend anyone who needs tax assistance to work with them!

KROWNE CLIENT

I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Andrew and Art at Krowne.

We started working together in October to do all of our accounting and tax planning for our small business. I searched and chatted with quite a few CPA’s and was losing hope I would find that right fit that helps elevate my understanding as well as puts me on a better financial path. It was important to me to be understood and heard and Andrew and Art do just that.

The bonus is that they are engaging and easy to talk to. Who would have guessed finance can be fun! Anyone would be lucky to have them on their team. I know we certainly feel lucky.

Barry is so much more than just a CPA and good friend. In fact, his stellar accounting work for our firm since its inception in 2004 (and for our predecessor firm since 1993) is the smaller part of the work he does for Levinson Arshonsky & Kurtz, LLP. What is most special about Barry and the services he offers is his “Big Picture” analysis. Barry has an uncanny ability to see the whole, not just the little parts that go into tax returns. We use Barry to make sure we are headed in the right direction, that our business models are on track and that our firm finances are steady. Barry is our Number One sounding board. If he sees something which is unusual or out-of-the-ordinary, he generally spots it before we do and alerts us to the proper concerns. There are many accountants who are good with taxes or running financials. The special talent Barry has, in addition, is the ability to understand our business and understand who we are, in order to help us maintain financial stability and simultaneously achieve our future growth goals. There is a good reason that he has been our business accountant for over 24 years and my personal accountant for over 35 years.

PARTNER

I would not still be in one piece today if not for Krowne CPAs! Okay, an overstatement perhaps, but only slightly. Barry has provided unimaginable support to my mother’s Trust by way of the multitude of financial stewardship projects I’ve thrown his way. With his guidance, I have been able to make long-term decisions that account not just for a financial picture, but also a very human one.

I have worked most closely with Art, who has made what I had previously thought impossible (the management of my mother’s assets) a walk in the park, and has done so with exponential patience, unwavering dedication, and remarkable care. He makes himself available whenever needed and always gives prudent, wise, and balanced advice. He is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also exceedingly thoughtful in his input, always managing to encapsulate the many facets of a picture in a way that always guides me exactly where I need to go.

It is this energy that really sets the Krowne office apart from any corporate alternative. The familial ethos permeates every aspect of Krowne CPAs, from their homey office to their kind communications (I’m looking at you, Kay and Wendy!), to their sweet dog who greets you at the front door. What particularly shines, though, is the team’s profound care for and commitment to their clients. I’d never met a tax and accounting firm that treated their clients like family–until Krowne CPAs–and I’m deeply grateful to them for it.

Amazing company, they really take the time to make sure all your needs are met. They are very up to date on the newest technology. They use the Xero accounting software which is the best. Any accounting firm that suggests Quickbooks doesn’t know technology at all.

Exceptional Tax and Financial Advisory firm.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Krowne CPAs for tax prep, tax advisory, and financial advisory services for well over a decade now. They have helped me through complex multistate filings and those that included income from multiple countries while I was living abroad. They have always been exceptionally professional, easy to work with, and incredibly responsive — even during busy season. I have sent a number of friends and colleagues who were looking for personal and small business accounting services to them and every one of those referrals has been very happy and have thanked me for the introduction. Give them a call. I am sure you will be happy you did.

Krowne Client

I’ve worked with Krowne CPAs for many years. They are professional and very easy to work with. The systems and organization that were developed for my business has freed up my time significantly. Also, my business has benefited from the open / direct line of communication and professional overview that highlights the VAS service. I highly recommend Krowne CPAs and their VAS service.

Aida G.

Krowne Client

This is a family run business and therefore you are treated like family. My financial situation was a mess and Andrew helped me sort EVERYTHING out. He is patient, thorough and explained everything so that I could understand what he was talking about. The Krowne CPAs totally set me straight. I would highly recommend them for whatever your financial needs are.

Krowne Client

Barry Krowne has been both my business and personal accountant for over thirty years. As my business accountant he has handled with efficiency, guidance, and care countless transactions, business planning and of course, all related tax issues. This was done over a twenty five year period from a small startup to a company with over 100 million dollars in revenue. At each critical moment of our challenges and growth, Barry handled it with the most incredible professionalism and insight. There is no doubt that our great success was directly due to Barry’s presence. As my personal accountant Barry has handled my estate planning and tax related issues in such a way that I am able to live in retirement with a sense of security and peace. It is knowing that as my accountant and trusted friend that I sleep well at night. Barry has been a once in a lifetime relationship that my family and I will always remain grateful for.

I have been a client of Barry Krowne and his firm for over 35 years. His experience and financial expertise have guided my firm through many business decisions that have helped lead to successful outcomes. I can always count on him to be straightforward and give me very well thought out advice. I have a complex financial situation which requires a lot of work and he and the firm are always thorough and timely. Our relationship includes my personal work as well. Over the years, I have been able to refer clients to him and look forward to continuing to do the same.

K-Rise Enterprises, Inc. is a growing woman-owned small business who found ourselves in need of a broader range of accounting support well beyond tax preparation. I can’t believe how lucky I was to find Krowne CPAs. They have worked hard to learn my business, support our dealings with many states and territories, and provided excellent and supportive guidance. While they are not part of the K-Rise infrastructure they are definitely a valued part of our team!

Kathryn Humphrey

PRESIDENT, K-RISE ENTERPRISES

It was clear after my first meeting with Andrew that he and the Krowne group offered the level of experience and expertise that I wanted and since they’re not a large accounting firm, my concerns of getting lost in the client shuffle were eased. Andrew is an absolute Rockstar, he was knowledgeable, patient, responsive, and beyond helpful…just an all-around good guy. As much as I loved working with Andrew, my favorite member of the Krowne family is Ollie. Check out the website, you’ll see why! 😊

KROWNE CLIENT

Krowne CPAs has represented my family and our various businesses for close to 40 years. Barry, Andrew and all the staff members of the firm have provided us with a full spectrum of accounting, consulting and tax services. Barry has been my sounding board and advisor, providing guidance every step of the way, as my architecture business has grown and achieved much recognition and many awards. He has an uncanny ability to focus on the big picture and, yet, take note of the parts that make it up, so that the questions he asks are insightful and thought-provoking. This all ensures that our business strategies will lead to our desired outcome. With Krowne CPAs on our team, we know what factors to consider as we move forward to achieve our goals. The firm always has our best interests in mind when advising us and I could have no better advocate when one is needed during negotiations or decision-making. Our relationship is personal and professional, which is just the way this firm operates. Their concern for me, my family and my business goes well beyond the numbers with a high level of caring.
