“I love working with John Mears! He is not only professional, and knowledgeable, he has also helped me get hundreds or even thousands of unclaimed tax dollars. For over twenty years I have been a public school teacher. Before putting John in charge of my tax refund, I figured that anybody could do about the same job of using the standard deductions and I would come out with about the same yearly refund check. Boy was I wrong!! He not only continues educating himself before each tax season on any and all changes in the tax laws, he makes it his challenge to get you every dollar you didn’t even know you were entitled to receive. He’s the best guy for the job and I have no idea what I will do if he ever retires, I totally trust him. (And he’s a great guy, too)”

“I’ve been using Mears and Associates for over 16 years now. The reason I have always had Mears and Associates to prepare my tax is that on several occasions, I have had serious and very complicated issues involving my taxes. Mears and Associates were very eager and willing to explain point by point how they could help. They are very professional but yet very easy to talk to. John, the owner of Mears and Associates, is very intelligent and trusting and is up to date on all the tax laws. The staff is very warm and accommodating to the different needs of the clients. I would recommend Mears and Associates to any of my friends.”

“I am an architect, and my wife and I have had Mears & Associates handle our taxes for 8 years. We were recommended by a friend at work, and have never considered going to another tax preparation agency. Over the time we have know John, I have gone from fully employed to a self-employed sole proprietorship to a corporation. My wife has had a similar path, ranging from self employment to full time employment. These changes have occurred frequently, and do not allow for a one-size-fits-all approach to our taxes. Mears & Associates have provided invaluable strategy during these changes, as well as a flexibility to help minimize our tax liability through the years. On one tax return he was able to save us over $11,000.00 in taxes. He is also very thorough about reviewing all possible areas where savings might be achieved, so that nothing is overlooked.
We have recommended Mears & Associates to many of our friends and professional acquaintances because of his attention to detail and the personalized approach to our affairs, and look forward to many more years of his guidance.”

“John Mears has done my personal taxes for 13 years, and my business taxes for 7 years. In addition, he has been instrumental in helping me complete an elaborate business plan for a 25 million dollar project I’m getting underway in Hawaii.
John’s acumen in tax preparation is unrivaled by any accountant I’ve had in the past. This year alone, he saved me over $8,500 hundred dollars in personal taxes.
Consistently, for the past 13 years, John’s gotten me an average of about $4,000 dollars a year in refunds on my taxes. He diligently keeps up with the ever-changing taxes codes, and uses this knowledge to his clients benefit. I’ve referred a number of friends and business associates to John, and they’ve all thanked me. He’s not only gotten them every possible refund they are eligible for that year, but has delved into their past returns, and re-filed them to great advantage.
His fees are more than fair, and you can rest assured that even if he can’t get you a refund, he’ll ensure that you pay the least amount allowable by law.
After everything he’s done for me, I can only encourage you to use John’s services, both in tax preparation and financial planning.”
