I have done taxes with this business in previous years. I made a down payment of 250 on 1/13/25, i text (included)with manager ******, the business was suppose to do my 2018 income taxes, after I sent the money I was informed that I needed to sign a contract. I did sign it reluctantly The issue came when a third page was left out of the contract, which I refused to sign since it was sent after I signed the first part. I spoke with the owner to request a refund, the owner did not ****** do anything to rectify to the situation, i was told by the owner initially it was 600. Which she denied and wanted me to sign the page that was left out saying whatever the amount she charged will be.told once done. She has always told me what the charge has been previously.Business Response

As Mrs. ******* mentioned, she has previously been a client of Anointed Accounting. During her consultation, she was informed of our updated onboarding process, which includes a $250 non-refundable deposit. This requirement has been a consistent part of our engagement policy.
I also explained that weve made updates to our processes, one of the most significant being the addition of a mandatory service agreement that must be completed before we move forward with services. This includes submitting all documents listed on our client checklist.
Mrs. ******* has suggested that she was told a specific price upfront. However, our pricing is based on a thorough review of each clients tax or accounting needs, which is outlined during and after the consultation phase. No final pricing is confirmed until all necessary documentation is received and reviewed.
Additionally, while Mrs. ******* did sign the full contract, she noted that the disclosure page did not have her initials. In response, we promptly re-sent the disclosure page she previously signed, allowing her the opportunity to review and initial the section for her records and peace of mind.Initial Complaint
