Chet is AMAZING! He really cares about his clients and making sure everything is properly in order. He is very knowledgeable in his field. He is also very responsive via text, call, and email so if it is a complex tax situation you will never feel alone in it. I would never use anyone else for tax related matters.

Chet was not only incredibly professional, but he truly saved us. The entire process was seamless from start to finish: a quick introductory call, an easy document upload process, and thoughtful follow-up questions that gave us confidence that he was being extremely thorough. He even reminded us of items we had forgotten based on other context we had shared with him.
Our taxes have several nuances, so trusting just anyone makes us nervous, but Chet handled everything with care and attention to detail. He made us feel confident that everything was being done correctly and thoroughly.
We are so grateful we found Chet and look forward to working with him for years to come. We highly recommend him!

As a realtor and the only 1099/independent contractor in my family I truly didn't know what I didn't know as far as tax filing/tax returns were concerned. What I did know, however, is that I had to get in touch with a local accounting expert to figure it out and I couldn't be happier that I called Chet. He was quick, efficient, professional and responsive from the jump. I've don't remember having an easier, stress-free tax season. Chet was proactive in his approach as well, in doing my 2025 taxes he noticed I didn't report all of my 2024 expenses and was able to secure a refund on the prior year as well. You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't give him a call. Highly highly recommend him to anyone in the Monmouth County area looking for tax help!

Amazing service from Chet! I usually do my own taxes but had a few unusual items that I wasn't sure how to handle for 2025. After having some bad experiences with tax accountants in the past, I got a referral to Chet from my financial advisor. Aside from being very personable, he is thorough and knowledgeable and sits down with you to get an idea of your tax related transactions and forms you should be submitting to him so your taxes will be done properly. I feel his charges are fair and worth every penny for peace of mind. I trust Chet and will be using him for my future tax needs.

There are numerous choices when it comes using a CPA but working with an experience professional saves you time and money. First, always consult a tax professional versus do-it-yourself. I submitted personal and business tax returns for years on my own which cost me thousands of dollars in missed refunds. Second, contact Chris Whalen who will tell you in clear simple terms your options and how best to proceed with your tax situation. I highly recommend Chris Whalen.

Great experience with Chris Whalen. He took the time to personally call me minutes after I reached out to him. The accountant I dealt with last year never filed or contacted me after receiving all my forms. After months of waiting and stressing out, I found Chris Whalen was dealing personally with the clients this accountant wronged. Chris Whalen was able to solve all of my problems and made me feel like family. He educates his clients and takes his business seriously. Highly recommend.
