Matt Schick, CPA

Matt is the best! I’ve worked with large corporate CPA firms to Turbo Tax and then found Matt after the IRS said I owed them thousands of dollars for an oversight on Turbo Tax three years ago. That’s right, don’t mess with the IRS. Matt worked it all out, was the point person on repayment issues and for just slightly more than I spent on that software, Matt saved my proverbial vegan bacon. He is super professional, efficient and honest about what is reality or not in the tax world. He knows his stuff. Recommending him to all my friends… Especially the tax dodging lovelies who want to get back in the virtuous flow. Not that I know or am married to any of those…

Thank you Matt, and hats off to fellow Unilocalers who helped me find him. I had been going to H&R Block for the past five years. My wife and I purchased a home recently and we wanted to see if going with a private CPA would pay off. It did. Matt helped us find several different areas in which we were able to significantly increase our tax rebate. He patiently and fully answered all of our questions, and had a some specific recommendations for us that would increase our tax refund for next year. Matt is professional, friendly, and keeps everything simple. He also has a reasonable fee, which is always a priority for me.

Matt is professional, patient, and capable. I would recommend his services to anyone.

This was our first year hiring Matt to prepare our taxes, and it will definitely be the first of many! He was a pleasure to work with in every way — he’s easy to contact, responsive, and he knows how to demystify complex matters for us laypeople. Thank you Matt!

Matt is awesome! I have never felt so confident and relieved during tax season before :) He makes everything very simple, answered all of my questions, charges a very reasonable rate, and is a super nice guy. You won’t be disappointed.

Matt helped me out big time this year. Taxes are confusing and cause anxiety for me. He is like a confusion and anxiety busting machine. I really appreciated his help and highly recommend him to anyone in the Portland area looking for some tax help. He’s organized, a great communicator and explains things well. Thanks, Matt!

Matt makes doing taxes so quick and painless! He is very efficient, thorough, professional, and easy to communicate with. He tripled my tax returns compared to Turbo Tax estimated returns when I punched in all my «numbers» online. He is also very reasonably priced when compared to the CPA’s my coworkers use. I’ve been very satisfied with his service over the past two years. :)

Who likes doing taxes? Matt likes doing taxes.
Who hates doing taxes? I hate doing taxes.
This was my second year having Matt handle my taxes and it couldn’t have gone better.
My tax situation is mildly confusing, enough so that I never felt totally confident using an online service. Matt makes it easier than any service I had used previously and I’m actually confident in what is being filed. If you want questions answered quickly and structured guidance throughout the process, Matt is that dude. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Matt is really great to work with. He’s very organized and knows what he’s doing. I really like how he uses online services (Dropbox, Google Docs etc.) to securely exchange documents, and he responds very quickly to email/​phone. I couldn’t recommend Matt more highly.

Matt is a 6 out of 5. I would highly, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED him. He’s been my CPA since 2010. He is competent, approachable, efficient, and delightfully personable. Matt always makes time to address my questions in a very timely manner.
As a small business owner, his guidance and advice have been invaluable. He has helped me better understand the tax implications of specific business expenses, purchasing and selling equipment, and the thresholds surrounding tax deductible medical expenses and charitable contributions. Our conversations have given me a framework around which I can track my current business activities and confidently plan for future developments.

I found Matt online. I liked all of the information on his website. It seemed very clear and upfront. I also really appreciated being able to make our initial contact and schedule meeting online. We met at a coffee shop in my neighborhood and I gave him all of my tax documents. He then got to work and shortly thereafter emailed me a copy of my completed tax documents. I looked them over and told him everything looked good. He then mailed everything back to me along with forms to sign and mail back to him. I put those in the mail, along with a check for him, and I already have my Oregon refund in my bank account. I thought his rate was reasonable and that the whole process was nearly effortless. I’m definitely glad I found him!

Matt was very helpful in answering my tax questions related to being self-​employed. My meeting with Matt was friendly, and I really appreciated how he’s not all about billing you for every dollar that he can. I can tell he’s most interested in doing a great job at a reasonable rate. Definitely recommended.

Matt did my taxes for the first time last year. He will be doing them again this year. He was easy to work with and thorough. Very pleased.

Matt is not only very efficient and good at his job, he is a pleasure to work with and very accommodating. Matt prepared and filed my 2011 taxes and handled all the nuances of my rental property, charitable donations and other tricky pieces with ease. I am very confident with Matt’s work and am looking forward to working with him on this year’s taxes.
