We committed to working together, I felt they were unresponsive once we started uploading docs…read moreetc., and they then suddenly told us they'll no longer work with us with no explanation and didn't respond to any follow-up questions. We're now left with very little time to find a replacement and we'll probably lose a lot of money as a result of this surprise from them. Facts: we agreed to work together at the start of this year. They shared a portal for us to upload docs into. It took us a few weeks to get started uploading those docs but we're still within their purported time-frame in mid-February. We had some access issues that, for myself, they fixed; that was not fixed for my wife and we had to bug them several times in the last week before our scheduled tax prep meeting. They then reached out to me, saying that they can no longer work with us and that they'll delete all the files I uploaded to their vault. When I asked them why, they did not respond.

I've been working with Akram at All About Your Taxes since 2021, and I can honestly say he is the…read morebest tax professional I've ever had.

Warning: Fraudulent activity and unauthorized bank withdrawal by staff. In November 2023, I visited…read morethe Liberty Tax office in San Mateo to file my tax returns for the past two years. Since my only documents were bank statements, I trusted them and provided my online banking login credentials so they could access the statements.A few days later, an employee named Sajide Ali contacted me and stated they were working on my file. I wrote a check of $1,290 as their service fee. It is important to note that during this period, I was suffering from severe, debilitating health issues.Ultimately, they never filed my tax returns. When I later checked my bank account, I discovered that Sajide had used my login credentials to make an unauthorized Zelle transfer of $1,290 directly from my account to theirs.For a long time, I contacted them repeatedly demanding either my completed tax returns or a full refund. Every single time, they denied it and lied, claiming I never made such a payment. When I confronted the manager/owner (Tanka) over the phone, I was met with severe verbal abuse and insults.I have recently downloaded 7 years of historical bank transactions. I have recovered the absolute proof: both the original check I wrote and the unauthorized Zelle transaction Sajide made using my login info. I am attaching these documents to this review. They took advantage of a sick, vulnerable elderly customer who trusted them. This is a severe breach of trust, identity theft, and financial fraud. Avoid this location at all costs. mY lose is $1290+1290=$2580

John D. Lee at SGC Financial deserves a shout-out for being a wise, thorough, and exceptionally…read morecompetent financial advisor. My husband and I took a 2-evening course he taught a number of years ago, set an appointment to meet with him for a complementary assessment meeting, then hired him to formulate a financial plan taking our specific needs and preferences into consideration. We were very impressed by his listening to our us and what our goals were and then working out a plan to help us achieve them. Within a year, we hired him to manage our portfolio (except for our real estate portion) and are very pleased with the results. His pro-active calls and suggestions are much appreciated. I can recommend John wholeheartedly -- and I do.
