Abe is not great. We filed with him this year because we are new to the area and wanted someone local. Initially he seemed reasonable, if a little frazzled. My wife and I did both our personal and business taxes with him. As tax season progressed he became less and less communicative and eventually cut off contact entirely. He filed our taxes months later and finally got them completed near the end of June. This was after months of near daily texts, calls and emails. None of which were responded to. We just got a notice that we owe more than $3100!!! because he failed file a form correctly and did not communicate with us regarding it. We will NOT be using him going forward and a number of my wife's colleagues who also did their taxes through him will be moving on as well because they had similar issues with him. I don't know if he overextended himself or what, but in the end his actions cost us thousands in unnecessary penalties and we hope to save you the same financial pain, headache and frustration of dealing with him and his company. read more

Contacted them about a week and a half prior to the deadline to see if they could take care of my personal and small business taxes after a referral from a good friend of mine. Spoke to Abe, a real piece of $#!+ and unprofessional manager. Told me he would take care of both and that despite it being late, I didn't mind paying any penalties incurred. Several days prior to the deadline I reach out via phone and email numerous times. Its been over a week and not a damn peep. Screw Aegean and the whole team. If you couldn't handle the workload why accept the work? Or at least have the decency to let a client know that prior to the damn due date. Now I'm pissed, assed out and penalized for my personal taxes after not hearing from anyone and going to handle it myself. read more

Aegean Tax Solutions, CPA - Accountants Near Me - Cupertino, California

Not sure if Abe is working anymore. Last 2-3 years have been horrific, and now there is no communication whatsoever! I am stuck with a case with the IRS. read more

Used to be good, but cares more his and family living and vacation abroad at the cost and abandonement of long time client. Never return phone calls nor emails because he and family were abroad. I had to seek help from a REAL CPA (instead of this services which is just a broker). Gross unprofessional conducts! Now it's tax season again and shamelessly chasing me for business with him??? Otta be some one with no integrity! read more

Quick story: I was in my early 20's and had a business, kinda, sorta, fall into my lap. I was stressing about taxes because I was used to the typical W2 setup and I had no idea how much money I was supposed to set aside for taxes at the end of the year. After getting a late notice from the IRS, I decided it was time to setup an appointment with a CPA. I did a quick Yelp search and stumbled upon Aegean. When I finally met with Abe and gave a description of the business I had, he quickly realized that the tax forms filed by the company paying me was filed incorrectly. Noticing that one error saved me thousands of dollars every year. The company paying me was notified of the mistake, and now they have corrected it on their end permanently. Presumably Abe has saved hundreds of others thousands of dollars too, just like me. I used Abe's services for 7ish or 8ish years, but then I got married and now I need to file jointly with my husband's CPA (boo hoo). If I had a choice, I'd use Abe's services again in a heartbeat! read more

Bitter experience with Abe who i hired for helping me file taxes. Charges a lot of money for poor quality work. Have penalties from IRS for incomplete submission due to Abe's incompetencies. Little to no professionalism and work ethics. Pls don't waste your time and money with this firm. read more

Abe is the most unprofessional and irresponsible Tax person. I had to get a lawyer involved as he fucked up my tax returns and won't respond to email and phone calls. The Lawyer found out that ABE is not a CPA, his license expired or something and he is not qualified to file taxes. read more

Needs Customer Service: I paid my mother's taxes more than a month ago. I still haven't received them I asked twice and was told he'd send them soon. Abe told me he filed her taxes in March. He didn't tell me the truth. He just filed her taxes this Monday. They don't seem to respond to emails or phone calls. There's no confirmation your taxes were done. My taxes we not done when I met and paid him in September. Abe told me he filed my mother's estate taxes in March when I gave him our documents. I was told my taxes was done and would be submitted that evening. It never was, fortunately he had returned my tax documents. After a week of waiting to hear from him. I did my taxes myself. I've been waiting to get a response for months as to whether my taxes were done. He's out of the country. They don't have time for their clients. They don't seem to have an office or anyone to answer the phone. read more

We've been working with Aegean for many years. Abe is a really nice guy and is an expert on taxes. He is very busy so don't wait until the last minute to contact him. read more

More than 10 years on, Abe continues to be extremely competent and an invaluable help in helping me file my personal and business taxes. He gives straightforward counsel and advice and I am very appreciative of his help. read more

I really hate to write this review as Abe has been like a friend when when he talks with us, but every year we get 2-3 notices from IRS on mistakes in our tax filing and each time I literally have to email, text, and call him 10+ times to get an answer. Last year we had to pay 8k more taxes because of his mistake in filing, and again last month we got another letter for 4.5k more tax payment. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend Abe anymore. read more

After I kept getting letter from IRS on previous tax returns, I was referred by a friend to Abe. I was amazed by his efficiency and knowledge.. Abe was able to identify and fix my 2013 & 2014 returns in no time and actually got me some $$$ back !!! Apparently I paid too much... I've been filing taxes with him on my personal and corporate for the last 3 years and I'm very pleased... he is a helpful, very professional yet "down to earth" guy. Everyone needs a good CPA !!! Thank you Abe. read more

I yelped a CPA tax preparer and called for setting up an appointment based on the ratings. Mind you I read the reviews and saw only one "Elite" reviewer and was skeptical... So I thought what the heck, I'll try this out. Low and behold, I was expedited for a special situation. Abe (tax man CPA) is a well-organized professional who seeks to assist clients based on their various circumstances. Abe scheduled me at 2 weeks and then inquired and assessed my needs with tax preparation and accounting advice. He was awesome enough to squeeze me in afterhours! He was prepared with a spare laptop for me to use to pull up documents, which is a nice gesture (I had already bought in my own); they have free Wi-Fi in the place. He made sure I was comfortable and offered water. I would recommend this place based on: 1. Professionalism and Competence with the laws and materials 2. Expertise and years of Experience 3. Knowledgeable firm of qualified CPA & tax professional 4. Highly experiences based on their credentials 5. Organized fee structure, affordable tax preparation Abe is through, he scanned all of my documents in case I ever misplace my paperwork or if anything comes back, he will have an electronic file of my items within reach (shows they are very organized and cover this bases). I would highly recommend this place, as my colleagues also use their services and trust their firm. Thank you Abe! read more

I will give props to Abe's technical knowledge. The one ding I'd give him is that the visits with him are rushed because he overbooks his appointments so one can't get all your questions answered since the next appointment is waiting in the hallway. Abe trying to to do and be all things to too many people makes you feel like a tool...especially when you're paying hundreds of dollars to the man. The taxes were done quickly and accurate enough, but the curtness and his lack of follow-through in voicemails/emails (since he's so busy with others) may leave you to conclude to search for other options for the next tax season.... .....ABE: Space your appointments with MORE TIME in between. Your clients have concerns and shouldn't be answered on the way out. read more

Every year getting a simple response from him is like pulling your hairs out. It is a nightmare not knowing if your tax is filed on time, or the late filing processes has been done. For example.... Leaving the country in a couple of weeks and absolutely need to file my taxes prior to departure or face penalties. A week+ of phone calls, voicemails, and emails got me nowhere. I had to look up to see if they are out of business and found myself in similar situations with many others. Given that I've already spent 1/2 of my already-limited time trying to get the tax documents to Abe without success I have no choice but to find another consultant in a hurry, as Aegean does not treat your IRS matters seriously nor professionally. read more

Never experienced an honest CPA like this. Based on yelp reviews I called their office. Abe called me back. Based on my situation, he suggested to continue using software to file taxes instead of filing with him. He could have easily had a new client. Obviously I didn't file the taxes with him. But if I need an CPA, he would be the first choice for me. read more

I tried other Tax companies -- I was not content with the service. I like attention and I like to take my time when i file my taxes. Abe deserves 5 stars. He offers personalized service - he is honest and sharp. I highly recommend him. he is a hidden Gem. I sent all my documents via email and then met him personally while I was in CA. I am going to spread the word. :) Leah read more

I have been struggling to find a Tax Accountant that would help me complete a return I'd started myself in Turbo Tax. I've called several different firms and most were not taking new clients and others were pitifully unresponsive about returning calls or finding a reasonable appointment window. Thanks goodness I called Abe! Abe, spoke with me on the phone directly, and rather than spending all our time trying to find an appointment, he addressed all my question right over the phone. As it turns out, for this year, I will not need his services, given the excellent advice he's given me and since my tax situation will not change until next year. I was really pleased to get such expert and courteous service, but I am also very relieved that I know exactly where to go with my returns next year! Aegean's offices are a little bit of a drive for me, but I'm confident using them next year will save me loads time and money. Highly recommended! read more

I've worked with a number of tax services over the years and Abe is by far the best. His advice is right on and I know that things were done correctly. Such a please to have to deal with a true professional. I've used Abe for 2015 and 2016 tax seasons and will gladly continue to do so. Thank you Abe! read more

Highly recommended due to their turnaround time in terms of filing tax. Specialized foreign income, self-employed tax related issues... Reasonably and competitive price with e-filing service. Instead of hourly rate, Abe charges a flat fee so no surprise. :) Lastly, convenient location, center of Cupertino and close to San Jose and Sunnyvale. read more

Still trying to fix the errors from our 2016 return. He has cost us penalties and fines. Now we have to hire a lawyer to resolve another error he made last year. Really nice guy. He is ALWAYS so sorry for his execution flaws and always has some personal excuse. I would only trust him with a simple straight forward return that you could probably do with a software program. Otherwise, you could be spending a lot of money cleaning up his mess. Be careful! read more

Buyer beware! I've used him for complicated tax returns. The tax-returns are complicated for me but shouldn't be for him. I found and pointed out several errors in his tax-returns. Abe was always distracted, unprepared and seemed uninterested in doing work. He is a talker and spent most of the time sweet-talking about everything but the tax-filings and frankly wasting a lot of my time. I didn't express any of this to him at that point because I just wanted to be done with the taxes. After a couple of years when I received a notice from the tax authority related to his filing, I contacted him. He didn't respond to emails, or calls. Blew a scheduled meeting. Overall, not a professional at all. I think he's received 5-star reviews through his sweet-talk but that doesn't necessarily translate into professionalism. I would not go back to him again unless I had to. read more

I just switched to Aegean Tax Solutions and I couldn't be happier. I am so glad Abe took me on as a new client. I have been using the same accountant for my corporate and personal returns for over 5 years, and he has never given me the time and wisdom that Abe imparted on our first meeting. Abe is helping me understand how to deal with the current situation I'm having with the IRS and the future looks brighter already. Thank you so much Abe and Aegean Tax solutions for your help and hard work. I will be back next year with both my corporate and personal taxes. I've already begun singing your praise to my colleagues. read more

Working with Abe is extremely pleasant. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in tax laws, but he is also very patient and professional... which was exactly what I was looking for! I had a complex situation where I didn't file for taxes for 2 years with properties and an LLC involved. The IRS sent me a intimidating letter to have this resolved right away. Abe gave me the breakdown on what he needed from me and he handled the rest. He was able to turn a very bad situation into a very good one. I highly recommend Abe from Aegean Tax Solutions to handle your taxes when you just don't have time and want to do it right! read more

I've been on the hunt to find a good accountant for a while. This time it was a bit more complicated since I also had messy business taxes to take care of. I found Abe here on Yelp and I gave him a chance. Boy am I glad that I did. My personal taxes were pretty simple and we knocked it out pretty quickly. As I mentioned earlier, my business taxes were a bit of a mess. First, we were not on the normal fiscal calendar and had actually missed filing our tax return for 2011. Secondly the company was folding so we needed to properly dissolve the Delaware corporate. Abe walked us the through the process and made us feel very at ease the entire time. He's helpful, personable, experienced and very knowledgeable about how to take care of any issues that you may have. Definitely give Abe a try if you are looking for a CPA. read more

Abe is great! He's helped us with our taxes for the past couple of years and his great attention to detail, tax knowledge, and excellent customer service are the perfect trifecta. He doesn't just meet with you once and that's it. If you have more questions (cause taxes are complicated!), he is always happy to provide you with more assistance until you are happy with the result. He's very patient and his friendly demeanor makes the task of filing your taxes less stressful. read more

Found Abe on Yelp a couple years ago and have now used him twice. He definitely lives up to the lofty reviews. Very friendly, personable and professional. Very knowledgeable and efficient. I've thrown a lot of things with him with various stock option exercises (ISO, NQSO, RSU) as well as complicated mortgage situations and he never flinches. read more

Abe did contact me recently & informed that he had to leave for his country in a hurry due to some personal matters. However, before leaving, he had e-filed my tax papers to IRS / FTB on a timely fashion. Only missing piece was that he failed to communicate that with me. Given the circumstances under which he had to rush back to his native place, I would give Abe a better rating than before. At least he wanted to redress his mistakes & cover up for them. I truly appreciate his honesty in doing so... After this incident, I feel relieved & would like to maintain Abe as my accountant for future. read more

After using an accountant for 3 years, and having to deal with mistakes each time (even though he was a nice guy) I decided to switch. So I called 3 firms and interviewed them. At the end I picked Aegean tax and accounting for 3 simple reasons: 1. Their pricing was competitive and they offered me a free consultation. 2. Abe explained everything for me on the return, something the other guys did not. 3. He had a nice sense of humor   In the end I decided to give him a good review because the process was very smooth and I felt more thorough. read more

Cant believe I am writing bad review for Abe. Just a year ago I thought we were great friends and now I think that he most unreliable person I have met. I think Abe has expanded his business and he does not need small fish any more. Obviously he forgot that I was with him when he was small fish. Now he is completely unprofessional. I have never gotten so many IRS letter in past 2 years. before that I had zero letters. This is due to not filing the tax properly. I thought we pay him to get this right. I end up spending more time in getting fixed with penalty. I think at this time people should know that this is not the same service as use to be. I wish him good luck after get my last 2 returns fixed from him. But I will not recommend him to my enemies even. read more

Thank Abe, for helping us filing are companies Taxes. I been using Abe for the last 3 years. I used to have another CPA to do my taxes, but not helpful at all. Abe is the man, whenever I have question or need help with the paper. He willing to take his time and going over with all the answer. All I can say is this guy know what hes doing, and have a good sense of humor. Thank again Abe, got some money back from the government. read more

Abe at Aegean is very familiar with the tax codes and is easy to work with. Aegean's prices are also very reasonable. If you're looking for a full service tax preparer, call Aegean and ask for Abe! read more

I recently switched over to Abe from Aegean Tax Solutions to handle some personal tax matters since my tax profile has become more complicated in recent years. Prior to this, Abe worked on a number of my former private practice clients corporate tax returns as well. Abe's knowledge of tax is terrific. He provided detailed insight into my prior tax returns and gave me an indication of how much money I had left on the table by filing the returns myself, and how he could help save money in the future. I will be using his services to file my 2014 tax returns, and perhaps amend some of my prior returns if necessary to recapture taxes I probably should not have paid. On the corporate side, I am told that Abe has worked on complicated tax matters. He is reasonable in his fee structure and provides sound tax advice to help any business with their tax needs. I strongly recommend Abe for both personal and corporate tax matters. read more

After getting high prices for doing my taxes from other tax companies I called Aegean Tax Solutions. Bottom line, I got my taxes done quickly and it was affordable for me. Abe was very curtious, and friendly. I was pleasantly suprised. He accommodated my schedule and seemed very concerned about me, just great customer service all around. Thank you Abe, I appreciate the help. read more

Abe did my corporate taxes for 2013 as well as my personal taxes. Abe is, no doubt, professional, proficient in his work and patient. He is diligent and found deductions that were missed by me and even by my previous tax professional. In mid-February, 2014, I was looking to change my professional tax preparer. It was a busy time for tax professionals as it was nearing tax deadline. It was a big challenge for me to find a new professional. My taxes were complicated too and required someone who could personally take interest in them and be patient with me. I asked friends and they recommended a few. But they were busy. I looked around and decided to take Yelp's help, with the ones who had good ratings. I called nearly every professional that fell in that category. The person who impressed me the most was Abe. His ratings were superb. I called him and he very efficiently answered all of my basic questions - based on which I could get a good idea about him. I requested an appointment with him. In the mean time, I called other tax professionals for appointments. Even when I met them, my basic questions weren't answered. Abe was on top of my list. It was clear after I met him that he was simply more efficient than others and that's why he could give me time at such a short notice. He knew all the tax related issues that could affect my business and that included international sales. Abe went extra mile to save me money that most professionals simply won't put efforts into. He could explain me the tax codes related to my case in every single situation. Besides that, he has a great personality and is extremely knowledgable and funny. read more

Abe is an honest guy and is extremely professional. Last year he treated me to breakfast just prior to meeting me for my tax appt. I've been using him for the past few years and I am totally satisfied! He has great rates and will work with you regardless of your situation! read more

I've been using Abe to help me with my taxes for a few years now and he's a wonderful person to work with. He's very detailed oriented, knowledgeable, and is more than willing to offer his advice on how to maximize my tax savings. Most importantly, Abe offers excellent customer service. As part of his standard service, he makes himself available to answer those not-so-quick 5min questions that I have on various financial decisions that crop up during the year. I will be using Abe again this tax year and I highly recommend him. read more
