I worked at OG Tax and Accounting as a Bookkeeper/Accountant for several months. Unfortunately, my experience was heavily affected by the management of the Bookkeeping department.
Nataliya Prokosheva, who oversees the department, demonstrated a lack of effective leadership and people-management skills. During my time at the company, I frequently experienced unprofessional behavior, including being spoken to in a disrespectful manner, public criticism, raised voices, personal remarks, and what felt like workplace bullying. Rather than creating a supportive environment where employees could learn and grow, the management approach often felt intimidating and demoralizing. Constructive feedback is important in any workplace, but there is a clear difference between professional guidance and personal attacks.
For a company that strives to maintain professional standards, this type of behavior should not be considered acceptable. I believe many employees would be able to perform at a much higher level under stronger, more respectful, and professional management within the Bookkeeping department.
That being said, my criticism is directed specifically at Nataliya Prokosheva and her management style within the Bookkeeping department, not at the company as a whole. Although I did not have the opportunity to work directly with the owner of the company, my overall impression of him is positive. Based on the way the company operates and the feedback I heard from both employees and clients, he appears to be a professional and responsible business owner. I also had the opportunity to work with many talented, friendly, and hardworking colleagues who made the workplace enjoyable despite the challenges.
OG Tax and Accounting has a strong team and significant potential for continued success. I sincerely hope the company addresses the leadership issues within the Bookkeeping department, as improving management practices would create a much healthier, more productive, and more respectful work environment for everyone.

Recent reviews
Highly recommend OG Taxes. The entire staff is amazing and always incredibly helpful whenever I need assistance. The accountants themselves are excellent, providing top-tier expertise and clear guidance. Navigating personal finances and taxes can be stressful, but I am incredibly glad to have OG Taxes as a part of my team. If you are looking for a reliable, expert accounting firm, look no further.
Very knowledgeable, amazing customer service, friendly staff, and most importantly saved me a lot of money on my taxes. Highly recommend.
Absolutely the best service. Since I found this accounting group filing taxes became a pleasant experience. They are so knowledgeable and organized and have excellent knowledge of every type of situation. So we just went to our annual tax appointment and it was such a good experience and they did it very fast, on the spot. Simply genius, the best. High fives all around.
Outstanding customer service! The team is responsive and truly cares about helping clients. I couldn’t ask for a better accounting partner.
Very happy with their service! They walked me through every step and made filing taxes so much easier. I will continue using them every year.
They made a complicated tax situation simple and understandable. I appreciate their patience and professionalism.
Super helpful and friendly, and got me the best return I've ever had - what a fantastic combo!
Highly recommend this group. They are professional and quick to respond to any request I've ever had. Id give them 10 stars if i could.
I found OG on Yelp and very glad to have had the initial consult with Oleg. He was friendly, professional, and very knowledgable. He helped me understand my tax situation clearly and found ways to streamline my taxes for next year. Highly recommended!
I found them on yelp and I highly recommend. Oleg is quick and professional, and the staff makes everything easy for you. They're definitely trustworthy and I would recommend them to anyone with taxes that are complicated enough to require an accountant.
It has been a pleasure to work with OG on complex files. The firm has a high work ethics and their work is second to none. Highly recommend the firm to anyone in search for a reliable and knowledgeable accounting firm.
Beware of all the fake positive reviews on yelp and google, they are paid reviews and employees of the company, instead read the bad reviews and you will understand. Both yelp and google 5 star reviews are written in the same format and have almost the same amount of review total, I rarely write reviews but I have to warn others of this "business".
They didn't submit or even do my taxes, the owner lets his junior staff (new accountants) do the taxes so its not even him, they withheld my forms for over 4 weeks and did nothing, kept giving me the run around when I asked for a update.
Only positive thing is that they respond fast in emails which meant nothing since they do not file your taxes, shady company that collects personal info and not do what they advertise. Currently reporting them to NYS consumer protection and FTC for fraud, and will follow up on it and update my review once action is taken towards this company. Don't let the fake reviews fool you guys.
Finally I have found the accounting firm that I've been searching for! Such a relief to be working with the amazing Mahdiyeh Hezarkhani at OG Accountants (and the rest of the team) - I feel like my business is in safe hands and all the stress and headaches of tax compliance is off my shoulders. Navigating all of the complexities of running an S-Corp was becoming too much for me and I needed to find an accountant who could help me understand things in a simple way and who I could trust completely to do everything correctly. Not only is Mahdiyeh extremely smart, savvy and switched on - she is also kind and warm and treats her clients as friends. I love the personal service and the ability to meet in person rather than over zoom. For complicated finance matters, everything seems clearer when someone can explain it in person. Absolutely recommend to small business owners who want experts to handle their finances and bring them the best results. Thank You!!
Oleg and his team are amazing and very reliable.
Recommend to several friend and family!
Love the OG team. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an honest and efficient team.
I've been working with them for over 8 years and they have always been highly responsive and understanding of all my tax questions. Thank you!
Having visited this firm, I would assess it as a mixed experience. Their initial impression showcases professionalism, but the reality seems more complex. Efficient for some, yet unresponsive for others, the inconsistency is troubling. While some praise their understanding of tax matters, it's equally important to acknowledge the repeated frustrations regarding their responsiveness and costs.
Expectations based on prior reviews may not align with firsthand encounters. Assess your needs carefully before choosing.
Referred by a colleague, I've been working with the OG Tax team since I formed my small business more than ten years ago. I design stress reduction programs and products, but OGT has reduced MY stress many times with quick responses, clear consult, and strategies for addressing financial challenges. You want to feel like you can call on your accountant any time, even with basic questions, and this is exactly what you'll get with OG Tax and Accounting. I'm really fortunate to have them as part of my 'team,' and highly recommend them to support your work and growth (and to reduce YOUR stress).
