Our clients' reviews
Here is what they say about working with us
I have been doing business with Caro & Associates for about 2 years now; personal and business account and I have wonderful things to say. First of all, they have saved me tons of money, I finally found an accounting company that won't overcharge me and will follow the rules to the "T". Secondly, their customer service is amazing, the Owner Jose Caro came to meet me several times and answer all my questions. The key to a great relationship with any professional is communication, whether it is an email or a phone call they are very timely when it comes to responding. I was so impressed with the service I began to refer my clients and every one of them has been just as pleased.
I’ve been working with Jose, owner of Caro & Associates for a few years now. Jose is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to tax preparation and planning. I highly recommend Jose and his team. They’re dedicated to providing the highest level of customer service. In addition, I have referred most of my clients to Jose with the peace of mind of knowing that Jose and his team will take great care of them.
Jose is the best accountant I've worked with, He takes the time to explain your options, he's very attentive whenever I need help with something, highly recommended.
The team at Caro and Associates are tax wizards. I thought I was going to owe almost $20k and they got me a small refund. I've been working with them as my accounting and payroll team since I opened my small Healthcare practice, Novel Eyes. Jose came highly recommended by several unconnected people and I feel like I'm in very good hands.
