Bookkeeping and service fees paid upfront – heavily delayed delivery, penalty, then legal threats

I engaged W-V Law Firm LLP for ongoing bookkeeping and service/administration fees for my company. All fees were paid in advance, as requested.

The contracted work was severely delayed. Filings that should have been prepared on time were not delivered within the required deadlines. As a direct result, a penalty was imposed on my company that would have been avoidable with timely service.

When I raised these issues and asked for an explanation, the response was not a solution. Instead, the managing partner threatened to involve a lawyer and subsequently attempted to send a cease-and-desist letter against me for sharing my experience.

Prospective clients should be aware that prepaid services may be delivered with delays serious enough to cause real financial damage, and that raising legitimate concerns can be answered with legal threats rather than corrective action.

All statements in this review are based on documented correspondence and official notices.

$5,600 paid for bookkeeping that was never done – IRS penalty, then dropped as a client

I engaged W-V Law Firm LLP for the incorporation of my US company together with ongoing bookkeeping. I paid the agreed fees, $5,600, in advance.

The company was incorporated, but the bookkeeping I had paid for was never delivered. Required filings were not prepared, and the IRS issued a penalty against my company as a direct consequence.

When I raised this, the firm terminated the engagement and stopped replying. The $5,600 has not been refunded. Emails since then have gone unanswered.

After I shared my experience, I received a cease-and-desist letter from a lawyer instructed by the firm. The letter does not identify a single factual statement in my account that is incorrect.

I cannot recommend this firm. Prospective clients should be aware that prepaid services may not be delivered, that communication can stop entirely once issues arise, and that critical feedback may be answered with legal threats rather than solutions.

paid for 3 years of bookkeeping that was never done – $25,000 IRS penalty followed

Paid for years of bookkeeping that was never done – $25,000 IRS penalty as a direct result

I have been a client since 2022. W-V incorporated a US Corporation in Delaware for me, including a UK holding structure. The incorporation itself was handled professionally. Everything that followed was not.

I paid bookkeeping fees for 2023, 2024 and 2025. The bookkeeping was not completed in any of these years. Not partially – not at all. The first contact from their accounting department came 19 months after incorporation, 7 months after the first Federal Tax deadline had already passed without anyone informing me.

Their own account manager took explicit responsibility in writing: "Will do", "Let us fill out the forms", "I will actively check everything myself too." None of this happened. Neither the Franchise Tax nor the Federal Tax Filing were submitted. The direct result: an IRS penalty of approximately $25,000 – purely for late filing, not for unpaid taxes.

What I find most troubling: After the firm already knew about the IRS penalty, they continued to invoice me. I was billed for bookkeeping and operating costs for 2026 and I paid. So I paid for services that were demonstrably never delivered, while a $25,000 penalty – caused entirely by the firm’s own inaction – was already on the record. I will leave it to the reader to draw their own conclusions about what that says about this firm’s business practices.

The firm has acknowledged its failures in multiple written communications: lack of escalation, internal documentation issues, failure to meet expected standards, and confirmed that delays were caused by their own internal problems – not by me. Their exact words: "Any repeated clarification requests reflect internal continuity and documentation issues rather than a lack of disclosure on your side." I responded to every single request within 1–3 days.

Despite all of this in writing from their own staff, management refuses any compensation and claims I should have delivered documents faster. The documentation proves otherwise.

For a one-time company formation, this firm may deliver. For anything beyond that – bookkeeping, tax compliance, ongoing management – I strongly advise caution. Make sure everything is documented and do not rely on verbal commitments.

Very helpful and supportive

They are a great company to work with. From the first consultation, they backed up everything they said with facts and provided written documentation.

Even after I founded my company, they did not disappear. I was assigned to a team of experts who were always available to answer my questions. I never left a call or chat with them feeling unsure of what to do.

I wanted to open a branch of my existent company in Singapore. Gruendungskanzlei assisted me with incorporation services. What I liked is that my company was incorporated quite quick, it took less than two weeks. Then Gruendungskanzlei opened an initial bank account for me. Since I wanted to open a specific broker account, as recommended by my business advisor, I just requested them to provide additional documents for me and finalized it myself.

I was looking to incorporate a company in Singapore, and being tax resident in a country with rather strict rules on overseas company ownership, they advised me of a legal structure which was compliant with the regulations in place. Very comprehensive advice provided by the team, and quick to answer any queries and problems that I had. Smooth incorporation and follow-on service. Highly recommended by me, and will use again for the next project!

A reliable company formation service provider!

I was looking for a reliable company formation service provider who can provide proper guidance on tax and VAT related issues as it is not my expertise. WV Law Firm turned out to be the perfect fit for me. With their mid-tier pricing and extensive research provided for my business model, I was very satisfied! 10/10 Highly recommended.

Great customer care!

The process for incorporating my company in Singapore was quite smooth. I liked their customer first approach and not just trying to sell me anything. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend them

Very good services provided by a professional and reliable team. Good knowledge of English language also. They helped me to incorporate my company for a good price, lower than I expected. I recommend them to everyone who is looking for quality at a reasonable price.
