Dorman & Associates, PC

Mad scientist of taxes. .that would be a proper name of Mark Dorman. He knows his stuff inside and out and he is truly working for his clients.
He is notorious for being several hours behind his schedule, so call before you come for your sppointment, but it’s worth the wait. He has been doing our taxes for many years and wouldn’t change him for anyone else.

I’ve been coming to Mark now for about 10 years. What everyone else has said it dead on.
— he runs late. About 2 hrs on average. He has a tv now so that’s good I suppose
— his office is in a dungeon of a warehouse and has been ever since I first came here… I kind of like that though. It tells me Mark is about saving cash
— he knows his $h1t! Be prepared, have your stuff, be organized and be thoughtful about the previous year… Mark will do the rest
Tip: try to be an earlier appointment. He gets tired as the day goes on and although you still get A+ service he’s only human. Like I said… Try to get an earlier appt.
Having said all that he is the best if you have a decent income and/​or complex taxes.

First, the bad things: Mark is always behind in his appointment schedule. Always. If you book for a certain time, expect that he will be running late. Maybe very late. Plan for it. Work around it. Bring a book to read. Call the office an hour ahead of your appointment to see where he is at.
Secondly, you have to be prepared. Generally, the way Mark works is: you get one appointment, you bring everything, and you do the taxes together with Mark. When you walk out the door, your taxes are (pretty much) done. So, you need to prepare on your own. You need to figure out what documents and materials you need before the appointment, collect everything together and bring it with you. Mark won’t really hold your hand through that.
If you can live with that, I think you will be very happy using Mark. His understanding of taxes is very deep. He knows everybody in the local IRS offices. He knows all the ins and outs. He can help you make the tax code work for you.
After your taxes are done, Mark will stand behind you if/​when you get audited. A *ahem* friend of mine got audited, Mark went with him to the audit. When they walked out, the IRS owed my friend money.
I’m not sure I would recommend Mark if you have a simple tax return, or if you need a lot of hand-​holding. But if your taxes are complicated, and you need a smart and creative person to guide you, Mark is the guy to see.

I agree with the 1^st review. He is the Mad Scientist of accounting!!!
His hair is disheveled because he works something like 14+ hours a day around April 15^th. His office may as well be in a dungeon of a castle but it isn’t. It’s on the 2^nd floor of old dungy warehouse.
Let’s get one thing straight. I’m reviewing what he has done for me personally and for my business. He is bar none the best accountant I ever had to save me money period.
His secretary on the other hand (his wife sometimes fill in and I’m not talking about her) is not top tier. During tax season she will fill in 2 clients at the same appointment. Will show up when ever she feels like it. Why Mark keeps her is a mystery.
During tax season, your appointment is never on time. The reason why is evident when he thoroughly goes through your life to save you money. Isnt’ that the bottom line? Don’t get angry when you have a 2 o’clock appt and the 12 is there still waiting. If that type of service is important to you, goto H&R Block.
If you are making a tax appointment, just make sure you do it quickly because spaces get filled up fast. It’s better to make an earlier appt in the day than a latter one or else you are looking for a long night. Restaurant 99 is on the otherside of the building if you get bored.

I call Mark the mad scientist of taxes. He’s genuine and super knowledgeable. If you want extraordinary service, Mark is your man. He’s been doing my personal and business taxes for over 10 years now and has always done a great job for me.
He does have a ton of clients and it will be tough by phone or email. Your best bet is to call up, make an appointment and show up with your documents. Once you are in his office, you’ll realize why he simply can’t devote time on phone or email. But you’ll get everything done on your appointment and walk away wondering why you’ve waited so long to use him.
His fees are very reasonable and fair too.
