Empyreal Accountancy

I explained to him that I was waiting on a few tax documents and as soon as I had them, I would upload them through their portal. It was an efficient process for me to upload documents and the portal program walked me through each step and followed up with reminders! As soon as I had all the documents in, I noted it was complete and they began working on my taxes. Maria reached out to me with a question which I answered promptly and I think it was less than a week before they had my returns done. This was the earliest I've ever submitted!!! Jason had me choose a time on his calendar to go over taxes with him and Maria on a Zoom call before submitting to the IRS. It was very easy - everything they do: from the way they speak with me to the programs I interacted with were efficient and professional. Their prices were reasonable as well and I felt like I received good value for what I paid. Being new to this area I went with someone last year who charged me a fortune and I wasn't going with them again. I'm so glad I found Jason! I will be a returning customer for sure.

I had a very unprofessional and frustrating experience with this tax service. Jason agreed to set…read moreup an appointment with me, and I went through every step they asked for--signing up through the TaxDome app, filling out forms, and providing all of my personal and dependent information. At first, they were very responsive, which made me feel comfortable moving forward. But on the day of my appointment, Jason suddenly canceled and told me they could no longer provide a service to me. After I had already provided sensitive information, they said they would delete everything. The whole situation felt extremely unsettling. To make things worse, I tried calling multiple times after receiving the cancellation message, and they didn't answer or return a single call. That lack of communication only made the situation feel even more suspicious. Don't be fooled by the 5‑star reviews. My experience was the complete opposite--last‑minute cancellation, zero professionalism, and no accountability. After everything, it honestly felt like a scam.

Every aspect was seamlessly conducted through email, phone, or video chat. I simply uploaded all relevant documents into a shared online folder, and Nam's constant communication kept me informed about the necessary steps. The entire process was incredibly organized.

Kind of like what was feared in Y2K, but really real -- "this date is invalid" it said for the new year entries -- Nightmare Land. Looking for an alternative program to migrate to I heard a lot about QuickBooks, but am rather 'old-school' and was trying to avoid putting our business accounting in the cloud and having a direct link from online bookkeeping to our checking account. As I had never used any other accounting program, and have no formal training, switching felt daunting. I found Prosper Bookkeeping on Yelp and reached out to Daniel Lin for a free consultation. He explained that I could use QBO without linking our checking account directly or utilizing AI features if I did not want to. So I decided to work with Daniel -- he patiently went through the steps to set up our books for the beginning of the year and coached me in bringing all entries for the year up to date. It was helpful for me to learn the new program UI through hands on instruction via Zoom, and then later review the videos Daniel provided of our training sessions. Daniel is a consummate professional - a non-judgmental and patient listener who is extremely knowledgeable and has a knack for quickly parsing through numbers. After using the program for a full quarter, I found that I had made several errors and could not reconcile our bank statements with QBO -- Daniel found the issues for me and fixed them in minutes. Like Magic! I'm very happy that I went with Daniel and Prosper Bookkeeping, FIVE stars!

They've helped us catch discrepancies we would have easily missed and kept us compliant without any stress on our end. What really sets Prosper apart is that they feel like a genuine partner in our business, not just a vendor. If you're a small business owner looking for a bookkeeping team you can actually trust, look no further.

What truly makes Roslyn different from other CPAs I've encountered is her patience. She has this amazing ability to take complicated tax jargon and break it down so it actually makes sense. Her experience and track record speak for themselves, but it's her personable approach to getting the work done that makes her the best in the industry.

Mary's passion to take care of her clientele is "A-1". But quite frankly, she is so busy, she doesn't need help from any Yelp reviews to show her adamant, uncanny business approach. I'm just putting my 2 cents on here since I noticed her business got a little notoriety by being here on this site. The proof is in her numbers, I am one of her many clients and I will keep going back to her since I was completely fooled by another tax company in the past, that didn't do my taxes correctly, causing me a mountain of havoc financially. If you want honesty and "realness" at the same time, what you see is what you get, Mary's the real deal. Oh ya, I forgot to mention, she speaks Spanish as well.....That's a plus in the City of San Jose. Located at 1040 The Alameda, Accounting For You is the right place to do your taxes, whether it's for personal or corporate. read more
