Loess hills and their staff have been wonderful. Maddie has provided us with straight forward and effective advice when we have been doing planning and transitioning for our businesses and personal. They are one of the first firms that has been able to handle our multi state situation competently and where I wasn't nervous that things were being done right. They have been timely and are pleasant and professional when I call with questions.

Maddie and her team are a pleasure to work with. If your a new business owner Maddie will (patiently) hold your hand thru your first few months and get you in the mindset of a business owner. Smashing Numbers Team has a lot to offer.

Maddie Brown and her team make handling the financial side of my business easy. I prefer to avoid this area of business but I know it's essential to stay on top of it. They are knowledgeable and accessible whenever I need them.

My experience with Maddie Brown Entrepreneur CPA or Conscious CPA/Loess Hills Accounting was, in short - a complete disaster. They were hired to do my monthly bookkeeping and annual tax returns for 2013, 2014 and 2015. They were also supposed to do my tax planning, monthly reports and phone calls. They did the bare minimum and what they did was erroneous, sloppy and late. I paid them $3-4k per year to do this simple work, yet their negligence resulted in thousands of dollars in fines and penalties on my tax returns for each year. Maddie's staff are immature, inexperienced and unqualified. Maddie herself seems to spend the majority of her time spamming me with affiliate email scams instead of paying attention to my books. They also over-billed me and double-billed me consistently. It is incomprehensible that she calls herself the "Conscious CPA". I was the one always telling her what to do and reminding her of deadlines and asking for the status on my returns and bookkeeping. She has ruined my finances and wasted so much of my time and money. I strongly, strongly regret hiring her firm. They are completely irresponsible, negligent, incompetent and also rude. Maddie should be stripped of her license in my opinion. Trusting Loess Hills & Maddie Brown with my books was a horrific experience all around that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

For years I did my own accounting and taxes, when I switched to having Maddie do them, they saved me a lot of money. They have always been helpful and are particularly helpful when I ask questions so that I know how to organize and manage my financial affairs.

We started using Loess Hills six years ago. Maddie and her team have been instrumental in the growth and guidance of our business. Her tax planning and P&L statements keep us informed as to where we are.

We sleep better at night knowing we have such competent and trusted advisors

Maddie and her team have got my whole business up and running. They handle all the financial logistics so that I don't have to, and deeply understand my business - which makes the whole process so much easier. Thanks so much for all you do!!!

The online process is so simple and communication between you and your preparer is clear and concise. I've used this company for the last 4 years because it's easy, they are kind, and I've never gotten bigger returns in my adult life. Thank you!
