Charles Bucklin
Berger & Associates have been filing my mother's personal taxes, my business taxes and my personal taxes for at least 7years. As far as woking with State and Federal taxes go, I am not able to say I enjoy those activities one bit. However Burman's knowledge and expertise are a relief when I know that I am going to need to do them again year after year. I recommend Berger and Associates if you are in need of a tax PRO!

Burman has been great to work with. He is quick to communicate and very knowledgable. He not only prepared our 2022 taxes, but also helped us address issues with our 2021 at the same time despite it being the busy season.
Bianca Finkelstein
Burman is wonderful! We’ve known him for 5 years and each time we meet he shows the same high levels of dedication and diligence. He is very generous with his time. He is also very kind, has a great sense of humor, and is the only accountant I know who can intelligibly explain the nuances of the tax system! We highly recommend him.
Hepsie Bohman
Burman is extremely helpful and professional. His pricing is very fair, and after seeing the value of his services, I've referred friends to him. Every person I've referred to him loves his warm and exceptional service. He goes above and beyond to keep people up to date with new tax laws, and to allow people to both understand what is available and how to maximize their portfolios. I would strongly recommend his services!
Arshish Tarapore
Burman was such a big help to me this tax season as it was the first time I had to file a D-30 for rental income in DC. I'm especially grateful since it's only four days before the filing deadline and he was able to take me on as a new client. He took the time to fill out my forms and provide instructions for filing. Super responsive to my request and I got my forms back the same day. Would highly recommend.

Berger & Associates provided me excellent advice and help with an IRS Audit letter, and my recent personal tax preparation. They utilize an easy-to-use app and secure web portal, making digital document sharing and signing a breeze. I would HIGHLY recommend them based on their excellent customer service and quick responses to all my questions. Their rates are very good for the service received--I'll be using them for many years now for my tax preparations. This first year experience has made me a long-term client.
