Deservedly 5-star work. Joe was very responsive, respectful, and knowledgeable of my tax situation; it was corrected immediately! I want to highlight that he took the time to understand the situation fully and then priced his work accordingly and fairly. His competitors charged abhorrently higher with no confidence of a solution. Looking forward to working with Joe and Your Back Office Accounting in the future! Less

Joe is great to work with, very knowledgeable and quick to reply. He takes his time to make sure you understand things and is a true professional. Would work with him again for sure. Less

I've used HR Block online filing for years. However this year I had some equity sales which required cost basis adjustments. There were limited resources online on how to do so, many of which more or less saying "hire a tax professional." Anyways, I gave up and went to HR block however they seemed to not be familiar with my tax situation and were going to charge me substantially more than I've ever paid before for an incorrect return. After that I decided to hire a CPA since I felt like I needed a little more expertise and am very glad I did. The entire process was very hassle free. Basically just send relevant docs over and answer a few questions. This is the first time where taxes didn't feel like a massive stressful chore. Joe was also able to get me in late in the tax season (late march/early April). Finally, I'll add Joe's pricing was very reasonable. It was significantly cheaper than HR Block and only a couple hundred more than using online software. Very happy I chose to go with Joe and plan to use him again in the future! Less

After using Turbotax for many years, I will admit that I was a little leery going to Joe for assistance. I had a new wrinkle in my filing this year which I was not familiar with and which Turbotax could not address. Joe was absolutely fantastic. He was cordial, patient, knowledgeable, timely, and reasonable. I wish I had learned of Joe years before as his process is simple and straightforward - not intimidating at all. I'm done with Turbotax and look forward to using Joe from now on. He well exceeded my expectations and provided absolutely awesome service. Less

Highly recommended. Joe was able to figure out where I went wrong in my HSA and follow along with my complicated mistake. He has a good rate and got the tax documents completed very quickly. He was very patient with me while I still owed him a document or two. We were also able to meet in person when necessary. He was reassuring that everything would go well and he did not see any issues with situation. He knows his stuff. The online portal was very easy to use. Less

Joe Bedford is a pro. Even though tax questions can be very sensitive, especially for someone who is newly self-employed, Joe has always been in touch and very professional. I'll stick with him for as long as I'm in business! Less

Joe did a wonderful job for both my family and my business. He is extremely knowledgeable and very professional. He explains things in a very digestible manner for those of us that are not well versed in the tax world! Less

Joe takes your tax situation personally so as to ensure you get the most profitable tax refund as possible. He is also willing to work with you throughout the year to ensure you are best prepared for completing your tax returns without any surprises. Joe is easy to work with and is responsive to both your questions and concerns and always in a timely manner. He has the right personality to take a situation that can be stressful for many and making it as stress free as possible for you. Joe is a true professional, has the correct credentials for working with the IRS and is extremely knowledgeable in his field. I have no reservation in recommending Joe. Less

We have been looking for a professional and efficient accountant for many years for both our corporate and personal taxes, and have finally found someone who fits the bill with Joe Bedford. With the current extreme increase in IRS agents, it's best to ensure even the smallest tax details are seen to expertly. We certainly do not want them knocking on our door! We are confident this is being done with Joe. He is exceptional detail-oriented, asking more questions than we'd ever been asked. Because taxes are so complicated, we, too have many questions. He is very patient when explaining the rules to us. We can finally rest easy knowing Joe is taking care of us. Less

I spoke to Joe for the first time around mid February 2024 when, new to the area, I needed help with my 2023 tax return. We met at a local restaurant in Knoxville. Unlike many other Accountants / CPA's, Joe reviewed the documents on the spot and had multiple ideas about how to handle my return based on the new laws that the IRS had implemented. I left that meeting knowing I had found a tax guy that actually cared. He finished my return promptly. Joe also does tax planning and advises me during the year so there are no surprises and I am prepared for April 15th. I have complete confidence and peace of mind in the Back Office Accountant. Less

Joe walked into a mess with both my personal return and our non profit return. He basically had to redo two years. As an EA (IRS enrolled agent) he specializes in IRS returns. Becaue of online filing, online information collection and Intuit support, he could be exteemely cost effective and was able to complete my returns at a fraction of the brick and morter firms. I didn't even have to leave the house. I just wish I'd have found him and this approach and solution a long time ago. Less
