I want to thank Rich for guiding me through the complex area of taxes. He was diligent and very responsive to all of my inquiries. I absolutely recommend Rich.
Alicia Lasko
This CPA took care of my tax needs for multiple years. He and his partner went above and beyond to assist me in getting all of my tax problems resolved for cheaper than I expected. Definitely we will continue to use them annually and will send all my business associates here!

Rich was extremely responsive and thorough during a complex filing year. He explained each step clearly, caught state-level savings I would have otherwise missed, and kept the process moving quickly. I appreciated his professionalism and clear communication throughout.

I had a very complicated tax issue, Rich solved it with diligent tax work, trust Rich for all your tax work !
Jessie N.
Rich has been a true hero in filing the mess that is my taxes! With multiple properties, joint accounts with family members, multiple income sources, and business taxes through my LLC I would not even know where to BEGIN to tackle filing on my own. Rich has also gone out of his way to provide advice and insight on both personal and business ventures, and always with knowledge and grace. I truly appreciate his skill as a CPA and can't say enough good things about him as a person. I highly recommend Rich and plan to use his services for many years to come!

Rich Geever prepared my taxes for me at the last minute and at a reasonable price.

I would highly recommend him to friends and family.

I am pleased with Rich for the excellent services he has provided when it comes to my taxes. For the last three years, I have had a lot of tax problems, Rich has been a life saver for me. I will definitely recommend his service to others.

CPA Geever has been our trusted tax accountant for over six years. He helped to navigate and advise me through a complicated family estate matter, straightened out old tax returns, and is a member of the CPA legal/tax team to represent me as guardian for a family member. CPA Geever knows the federal regs, laws, tax codes, and estate laws like the back of his hand and can articulate a tax situation swiftly. He can synthesize data, finances, and seemingly disparate facts into a plan of attack for resolution, mitigation of tax implications, financial recovery, and protection from IRS audits. He is sharp, expeditious, and assertive. Get busy because he expects you to be forthright and forthcoming. Give him information he needs to get the job done "pronto" as he tells me. No delays, no excuses. A lot is at stake...your tax returns, an audit, your estate planning, you name it. I reward my CPA with his preferred dry dirty martini plus blue cheese stuffed olives...and of course prompt payment. He's my "White Knight" and I keep no financial secrets from him. He won't judge. Rather he'll get you out of a jam and get your taxes straight. Three words, "Hire Rich Geever".

My wife and I had a complicated tax situation that online software like turbotax was not able to process correctly. I realized I needed help and found Rich by searching around online. Rich was knowledgeable and efficient in helping my wife and I with our taxes. I must have sent over 40 emails to him in the course of 2 weeks, and each time I heard back quickly with an informative response. We were able to get everything filed correctly and on time, and it's a big relief knowing that it was done correctly. I plan to use Rich every year from now on.

Well, it's officially tax day so I thought it appropriate to write a review. In short, if you need a CPA - hire this guy! I was first looking for someone to do taxes in 2018 for the 2017 tax year. As usual, I did reviews before trusting my taxes to anyone. I researched the "big" commercial names, like H&R Block and the do it yourself names but wanted to know they would be done right the first time. I stumbled upon Crystal Tax and couldn't be happier. Mr. Geever is knowledgeable, super prompt to reply to email and incredibly quick with the preparation (and it didn't hurt that I got a refund!). We haven't even met - everything has been online or through email, which is great as it is hard to get to an accountant when you work. And Rich was patient with my tax questions. I had no hesitation trusting him to do my taxes again this year. I was nervous that I had waited too long and he would be unable to get them done in time, but he turned them around in 2 days - that's impressive! I will no doubt continue to go back to him for my tax needs.
Lucky Z.
