Our company engaged Paro in early 2025 for fractional CFO support, not tax preparation. While our assigned expert was responsive, the work itself was consistently unproductive, hours of “analysis” were logged without any tangible financial insights, reports, or recommendations.After months of unsubstantiated billing and limited progress, we formally canceled our engagement in June. At that time, our corporate tax filing had already been extended through Paro as a procedural step, but our existing accounting firm was responsible for actually preparing and filing our taxes.Despite this, a month after cancellation, Paro issued a $3,000 invoice for “corporate tax preparation and filing,” a service they were never authorized to perform and never completed.When we asked for substantiation or the supposed tax return, we were told only one individual at Paro had access to the file and that person was “on leave indefinitely.” That explanation made clear that no deliverable existed.Instead of correcting the mistake, Paro escalated the invalid charge to a third-party collections agency, which began sending aggressive and misleading communications despite written proof that the services were never rendered.Our taxes were ultimately prepared and filed - by our own accounting firm, not Paro.This experience exposed serious internal and ethical failures in how Paro manages billing, deliverables, and client disputes.If you’re considering Paro for CFO or accounting services, don’t. There are far more competent, transparent, and accountable firms available.
