The Shafer Group CPAs, PC

We have been customers of The Shafer Group for several years. Extremely professional and great to work with. Cynthia is top notch and we are so thankful to have her doing our books! Our Only wish is that we found them sooner!

By recommendation, I called the Shafer Group last year to help me with my taxes as I had just started a new business. I sat down with Katie and had a great conversation about what to do and how to get organized in my new venture.
When tax time came, communication level was fantastic and thru made the process easy. They made some terrific recommendations on my taxes to help save me the most money I could, and didn't charge a fortune to do it.
I highly recommend the Shafer Group!

I've been a business and personal client for over 10 years. Shafer Group does a consistently good job in the entire process of tax strategy, compliance and return accuracy.

There were many times where I saved more money in tax liability by taking their planning and execution advice than I paid them in fees for their services.

I've always felt like we fully complied with all the tax rules, and that all returns were correct, but that we also didn't miss anything that was helpful either immediately or in future years.

I've used Top Ten accounting firms in the past. And sometimes they have their role. But Shafer Group provides personal quality tax advice at service rates far better than bigger firms.

Nothing but top tier accounting talent at this company. After trying several others in the past, what a night and day difference it has been working with Shafer Group. They were able to recover substantial accounting misses by others which resulted in a significant check back to us. What a way to start a relationship! They are absolutely on top of all the changes and work with us to develop a winning strategy for our companies. They are just about as good as a company can be, competent and always have your best interest in mind. I shy away from making recommendations but in this case I can wholeheartedly endorse Shafer Group without reservation.

The Shafer Group has been handling our personal taxes along with our multiple business entities that are quite complex for years now. When we first came to the Shafer Group, we needed help moving forward after a mishandling of a previous CPA, they couldn't have done a better job getting us on track. Everyone we have worked with has been incredibly professional, helpful and friendly. Any questions or concerns we have are answered in a very timely manner, whether it be through email, phone call or meeting. We have been very happy with our payroll, accounting and tax services. The Shafer Group is helping us grow along with our businesses and we would highly recommend them to anyone!

We've used the Shafer Group since 2000, and have always received prompt accurate service. They have always gotten us the maximum refund on taxes that we were entitled to, been extremely good at keeping in contact, are accurate, and even have fresh-baked cookies on the counter at tax time! I recommend them without reservation.

After years of not being fully satisfied with the results and service I was getting from my tax preparation people, I switched to The Shafer Group this year and the results were better than I could have expected. They obviously have a efficient system to allow the CPAs to develop relationships and work directly with customers. We have two businesses, multiple sources of 1099 income, and W2 income and Vidhya took the time to really dig into everything during our initial meeting. She was readily available when I had questions during the process and is completely on top of all the tax law changes that impacted us. Go here if you live in Colorado Springs or Monument!

The Shafer Group has provided consistently excellent service over the past fifteen years to keep my tax returns tight and right. During those years, I have prevailed in the “vida loca” while navigating an unwanted divorce, single fatherhood, overseas deployments, running a rental property, retirement from a long military career, challenging training for a second career, out of state commuting, etc. Throughout all of that turbulence, the Shafer Group has been a bedrock source of stability and confidence. They have earned my highest recommendation possible.

I have use The Shafer Group for years. I work overseas, using other tax filing companies I was asked more questions other then receiving answers and when I did get answers they were mostly gibberish. When I went to The Shafer Group I was satisfied immediately that year and have been with them since, 8 years I think now.

I switched to Carson group this year from another accountant that wasn’t great. So far they are great. Jay Zeng did my taxes for 3 businesses and personal. It is so nice having someone that replies fast and accurate answers. Now Lisa Cole is going to help me fix some quick books online errors quick books can’t figure out and I will be doing financial planing with Beth Walker. My fiancé has used her for year and had her taxes done here for a long time and that is why I switched. I’m so glad I did. Thank you all Eric from A1 Concrete Leveling.

The 5 start service I experienced was unexpected, in todays world of BAD customer service the Shafer Group restored my faith through the care and personal touch they spent with me. My taxes are not the norm, from foreign investments and dividends to business travel expenses. The Shafer Group made it easy and actually found mistakes in the accounting service I used in the past and made it their goal to make it right, unbelievable! Special thanks to Yoonmi Kim and the whole Shafer Group their people make the difference.

My family's business has relied on The Shafer Group for many years regarding taxes and finances. They are trustworthy, experienced, and true professionals in the business. I would definitely recommend this accounting firm.

I have been receiving exceptional service from the Shafer group since 1995 when Greg was still working from his home office.

I was introduced by a colleague when i complained that after using turbo tax I would have to pay that year. I resisted because Turbo tax “walks you thru” and it had to be right?

He said: see Greg Shafer. If you do not get better results than turbo tax I will pay his service fee for you.

I received money back instead of paying that year, because I had a loss that year that was not part of the questions asked in turbo tax.

I am not saying Turbo tax is bad. I am saying if you are not filing EZ or you need advice on a small business and how to use the laws in your favor... turbo tax may fall short?

So do yourself a favor and see greg. Use the Shafer group not only for tax season, but hire them to advise you before you start that business. Best hour you will ever pay for.

My old friend and CPA retired, I needed a new tax preparer. Researching this group I found their Tax Manager, Kathleen Geist, was an Enrolled Agent with the IRS. They have to meet exacting criteria and perform annual update training. I contacted her and requested assistance. She was very kind and welcoming. Her staff handled the details of collecting my data and preparing the preliminary return efficiently, mine is moderately complex. Kathleen then went over it, and suggested a perfectly legal deduction that I did not know about. It saved enough to more than pay for my tax return preparation.
I was treated with courtesy and efficiency throughout this encounter. I highly recommend this CPA group for tax preparation, and plan to return.

We were referred to The Shafer group for our 2016 taxes. Without question Yoonkim did an outstanding job maximizing our refund. In fact, we inputted our taxes into turbo tax before we met and it looked like we were going to owe. Yoonkim flipped that and we were given a refund.
When tax season came around this year there wasn’t a question of if we were going to have Yoonkim do our taxes. We received our prep packet in the mail from The Shafer Group, completed it and dropped it off and within a week it was completed and ready to sign and send off.
I can’t express how fortunate we have been to be referred to the Shafer Group. Best in the biz. Thank you everyone.

I’ve used Shafer Group for years. One time I thought, foolishly, “I can do this myself and save some money.” That was a mistake I will not repeat. These folks are pros, they communicate well, they are reasonable. They are my go-to for taxes and other financial needs.

Great, professional people who are honest and helpful. We have been in several times to meet with Katie, who is very competent and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend Shafer CPA group to anyone.

Coming from out of state we needed to connect with quality tax professionals. The Shafer Group was exactly what we were looking for and we will continue to use them in the future. Highly satisfied with our new tax pros!

The Shafer Group provides excellent support to my business and is invaluable with tax planning and preparation. I would highly recommend their services to businesses and individuals.

Been a Shafer client for eight years. They always do a superior job with our taxes and providing tax advice! Cannot imagine trusting someone else to do our taxes.
