Errors and Inefficiencies
The review is about Joshua Chernoff's unpleasant experience with First Chicago Accounting. He hired Brad Filmanowicz, his former bookkeeper, to handle his Illinois sales tax. However, Brad made an error and overpaid the tax by $2000.00. Despite reporting the mistake, First Chicago Accounting took an unacceptable approach, blaming the state for the oversight and telling Joshua that he would have to wait over 120 days for a refund. The reviewer is dissatisfied with the response, arguing that the accounting firm should not pass the blame on to others and that the customer (Joshua) should not be held responsible for an accounting error that was not his fault.
Lack of Accountability
The reviewer expects accountability from the accounting firm, especially when it involves their own mistakes. He believes that First Chicago Accounting should take responsibility for the error and provide a timely refund. Instead, the company's approach was unacceptable, and Joshua is left feeling frustrated and disappointed with the service he received.
