Some potentially juicy news coming out of North Carolina today<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

The Alexander County Sheriff\u2019s Office has received numerous calls related to the accounting firm of Price, Breazeale & Chastang, PA. The Sheriff\u2019s Office has been in contact with the North Carolina Board of CPA Examiners pertaining to the business.<\/p>\n

This business is located off of Shiloh Church Road in the Bethlehem community of Alexander County. The Sheriff\u2019s Office has been instructed by the CPA Board for any persons currently doing business with Price, Breazeale & Chastang, PA to call (919) 733-4222.<\/p>\n

The Sheriff\u2019s Office says if they receive any more information related to this matter they will update the public.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hmm. It took a couple tries to get their system to cooperate before we could find Price, Breazeale & Chastang in a North Carolina CPA firm database lookup but it\u2019s there:<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

We reached out to the Alexander County Sheriff\u2019s Office to get more info but then found this<\/a> from a local television station. WSOC-TV reports that freaked out clients began reaching out to the sheriff after they couldn\u2019t get in touch with the firm. And then there\u2019s this today:<\/p>\n

\n

The sheriff told Channel 9\u2032s Dave Faherty more than 300 people have been impacted by the closure.<\/p>\n

Some of those folks showed up Thursday morning trying to get their tax documents back. However, the doors were locked and there was a sign on the door telling them to call the N.C. State Board of Certified Public Accountant Examiners.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jilted clients have yet to start leaving negative Google reviews about today\u2019s happenings. The most recent one is complaining about fees.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Clients told WSOC they dropped off their documents weeks ago but nothing has been filed. Nothing strange there, let\u2019s be real.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very wary because we have to find somebody else. We have to get our tax papers back, so we can take them somewhere else,\u201d said one client to WSOC. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be tax time and we have no tax returns.\u201d<\/p>\n

You get an extension! You get an extension! Everyone gets an extension!<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s up with the note? What did they DO? Keep you posted.<\/p>\n
