Testimonials

“As a new business owner, I tried to take on the world and in the process I came up short in a few places. No professional can do it all, despite wanting to grasp all aspects of a new venture or thinking that doing it yourself will save some money. I had called Bennett many times for consult and his knowledge was tried and tested. So when it came time to pick a CPA to oversee my financial and tax statements, there was no other choice. Bennett is simply the best. He knows his numbers yes, but also how to navigate a situation and all involved personnel. He is tactful in his approach and dutiful in his execution. I sleep better at night knowing that Mr. Kogan is on my team.”
– Stefanie Pearl, Happy Hudson Valley

“Bennett Kogan is our choice when handling our personal and corporate accounting needs. He is committed and truly cares about his clients. He has wonderful service and is always quick to respond. His attention to detail is outstanding. We highly recommend Bennett Kogan for your accounting needs!”
– John & Maria, Mount Olive, NJ

“There are plenty of accountants who know and understand the tax law, but we don’t want our financial situation to be treated like a cookie cutter – one approach does not usually fit all. Bennett was able to make suggestions and think “outside the box” and make us feel like he understood us and our financial situation…an experience we had not had previously. That is why Bennett Kogan is OUR accountant and should be YOURS too.”
– Mike & Kelly, Monroe, NY

“I have always found Bennett Kogan to be helpful and reliable. He personally addresses my questions and concerns, is willing to to talk with me and explain whatever I don’t understand, and is available virtually 24/7, it seems. My previous accountant was not always available and didn’t always return my calls. I am very happy with Bennett’s services and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, exacting, and professional accountant.”
– SJ, Brooklyn, NY

“In seeking an accountant, there are two qualities you are looking for: competence and trustworthiness. You find both in Bennett. He aggressively looks for ways to legally avoid tax consequences, addresses issues with you in an intelligent manner because he is intelligent, and has an overarching necessity to be ethical and fair in performing his services including billing. If you’re looking for ways to scam the IRS or evade (not avoid, which is perfectly legal) taxes, Bennett is NOT the guy for you. If you want somebody to take care of business, he is your man. For me, that kind of ethical standard of necessity carries over to his integrity in watching over your money and making sure all your bases are covered. His insistence in taking as much time as necessary to do things right and comprehensively probably takes a lot of his time and is certainly stressful, but it inures to the client’s benefit. I am only sorry I did not know him years before. I wish him the best in his practice. If a good guy should be successful, he’s the guy. I had to smile when he asked me to write this blurb. If he were a different kind of person, he would have made up his own testimonials. But that is not who he is.”
– David Zapp, attorney, NYC, NY

“Switching to Bennett Kogan was one of the best moves I’ve ever made. He works fast and pays strong attention to detail. I’ve worked with lots of CPAs in my life. It’s rare to find one who follows everything up with a personal phone call and refuses to rest until everything is done. I’ve finally found that with Bennett.”
– Gideon, Brooklyn, NY

“I started a small jewelry business and after the thrill of starting anew was done I realized I had no idea how to keep records. I turned to Bennett, who does all of my personal and business accounting, and he took all the record keeping anxiety away from me. He is patient and very non-judgmental about what I don’t know or don’t understand. He sends me detailed instructions way before anything is due. He is about to help me take over my elderly parents paperwork and he is easily reached and always returns emails and calls in a timely fashion. I couldn’t ask for more.”
– Carolyn, jewelry business owner, Montauk, NY

“I hired Bennett as my CPA in the fall of 2010. I have been very happy with all the work he has done for me. I have no problem recommending him to anyone. He has always been open to my questions and concerns. He answers my questions in a way that I understand clearly. He sets an example for all small business owners of how to do business.”
– David B., Programmer

“Since 2004, Bennett has provided full-service accounting and tax support for me on both a business and personal basis. Bennett is experienced, ethical, dependable, and timely — a true professional. I hold Bennett’s work in high regard, and would recommend him to absolutely anyone.”
– JK, Engineer & Business Owner, Brooklyn, NY

“I have referred many clients to Bennett for all different levels of service. The reports back from my clients are always praises for his professionalism, courtesy and friendliness. He treats each of my clients as if they were his best friend or family members. I would refer him to anyone seeking his professional advice.”
– John Mott, Financial Advisor at First Command Financial Planning

“We are a fairly new business and previously hired an accountant who we thought was doing his job and we paid a high price (pun intended!) for his services. Recently we discovered that our past two years of corporate taxes had not been filed with the government due to his negligence. We knew we needed to switch accountants immediately and were somewhat jaded due to our prior experience.

We met Bennett one night and he made us feel extremely comfortable. He took a real interest in what we do and how we do it. Once he came on board, a lot changed. Bonez Garage finally had a real CPA, not just any old “accountant.” Bennett fine-tuned our bookkeeping process, explained our various tax obligations and the due dates for each, and showed us how we need to help him to file our taxes going forward.

Bennett immediately set to task filing the back years’ returns that our past accountant failed to do. Most importantly, Bennett has helped us reduce the penalties that ensued from the incompetency of our prior accountant.

Bennett has saved us so much in time, worry, and money. Bonez Garage is completely comfortable with his services and look forward to a long relationship together.”
– Bill, owner of Bonez Garage (Auto Customization & Restoration), New Windsor

“Thank you for all of the hard work in organizing our company’s taxes and accounting records. Due to our past accountant’s errors and poor service, we had penalties due to late and improper filings. You straightened out all of our outstanding tax filings and significantly reduced the penalties. You also helped me make sense of our company’s books with your knowledge, attention to detail, and QuickBooks expertise. We look forward to working with you well into the future. Thanks Again,”
– David E. Dyer –President, Dyer Landscaping & Lawn Care, Inc.

“To Bennett Kogan and his team –

Our company has been in business for almost 9 years.
During this time we have had several painful experiences regarding our finances, largely due to erroneous & neglectful council of our accountants.

Bennett’s CPA firm has since stepped in & corrected numerous accounting errors. He truly goes above and beyond to make certain each aspect of what they are handling is done to the best of their ability.

His attention to detail, as well as practical solutions to complex financial situations, makes Bennett a great solution to any businesses accounting needs. The vast knowledge and personalization he provides makes Bennett an invaluable consultant to our business.

My only regret is I wish I had found Bennett Kogan sooner.
As I move my business forward through this dismal economy, I take great comfort knowing Bennett, and everything he brings to the table, is by our side. Thank you,”
– James Danella, CEO of Media Vision Advertising, Inc.
