*CLOSED* With a sad heart, I'm posting Bill passed away Feb…read more2023... Bill was an amazing man, and a genius as a CPA... We met Bill when my father passed away in 2013, and we needed a CPA .... Bill was a true professional, very knowledgeable, and an all around great guy... He helped me get thru in a bad time and I'll be forever grateful to him for it... Bill reminded me of my older brother who had passed earlier.... I always looked forward to a good hug from Bill when dropping off our taxes... I only hope Bill didn't suffer, and he realized how much he was loved and needed... God Speed Bill....

We used Bill for several years. Over the past 3 years, he was constantly late. This year I waited…read more45 minutes. Never again. He finally showed. Taxes prepared. We paid him. We recently received a letter from the IRS stating we owed adfitional money. We paid. What was most disturbing was that another client's information was on the back of our hard copies! We wrote to him about this. One week after sending our email to him with photos of this, he responds saying we concocted a story, these were dummy returns and never to contact him again. BEWARE!! We are done with him! There are many competent CPAs in the valley.

And trust me - we have thrown some crazy things their way! I think what sets them above the rest - they are fun just to talk to. You are not going to an accountant - you are going to your friend, who just happens to be an accountant. That's why we have no plans of going anywhere else!

This guy is as crooked as they come. After he fucked up my taxes he made me pay the IRS and he had…read morethe audacity to charge me again for amended taxes that he fucked up. He didn't even have the common courtesy to pick up a $62 interest charge for his negligence. I do not recommend this tax place and definitely would never recommend Mark Munroe's services. Crooked, cowardly, ignorant and unprofessional asshole and I know for a fact from other clients that he is horrible and unprofessional.

My 2016 taxes could have turned into a DISASTER if I had chosen to trust the wrong person to handle…read moremy confusing situation! I had three states to file plus federal taxes, a cross country move, W2's from 2 different states, stock sale and a closing of a 401k plan. Needless to say I was rather worried I would owe a huge sum of money. Stanley was referred to me by a co-worker that has trusted him with her business and personal finances for years. I made an appointment using the handy online form and quickly received a response from a friendly receptionist. ( I note friendly because most receptionists I've dealt with at various places in the valley are cold and unfriendly.) I was able to get the appointment time I requested. The location is easy to find using google maps and there is plenty of parking. Stanley explained his fees and the process as well as software they use for their tax services. Our taxes were completed and we arranged to pick them up. Signed where it was noted and we were off! He did a great job and found us some deductions we were not expecting. Everyone at the office we worked with was pleasant and quick to respond via phone and email. Thank you! We will be back again!

Kevin BAUTIER, was the answer to a prayer for me. I didn't have to do anything online, create portals and passwords.. none of that! He had my taxes done so quickly. His assistant was awesome and helped me as well! See you next year, Kevin!

After working with the same accountant in Los Angeles for more than 20 years, I was nervous about…read morefinding someone new when he retired,  but since I was looking for someone new, I decided search closer to our current home. I'm so glad I found Bean Counter. The name initially caught my attention (it's clever and memorable!), but the experience is what truly impressed me. I spoke with Kevin for an initial consultation, and he took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly while providing a clear and reasonable fee estimate. He made the onboarding process simple by sending access to their secure client portal for document uploads. We later met in person, and Kevin walked through my return step-by-step, explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand. He asked thoughtful follow-up questions that ultimately resulted in a better outcome on my return. He also shared a bit about his family and background, which made the experience feel personal and comfortable -- something I really value when discussing finances. The office itself is spotless, with ample parking, and conveniently located near several great restaurants if you want to grab a meal before or after your appointment. My completed return was delivered the very next day, and throughout the process Kevin and his team were incredibly responsive -- always replying to emails within 24 hours, often within minutes. Professional, friendly, and highly competent -- I recommend Bean Counter.

One of the benefits of an individual practice is the close working relationship Deborah has with her clients,and the dedication she has to take good care of them.This is not just an accounting and tax preparation firm.It is a forward thinking professional firm that gives great guidance and advice. Deborah has surrounded herself with a strong team of professionals,and they work well together in getting out high quality professional work.

I used this CPA/tax service after my spouse passed away and I needed help filing a relatively…read moresimple return. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing due to lack of transparency. At no point before the work was completed was I told what the fee would be. I was not given a quote, estimate, or engagement agreement to sign beforehand. When I came to pick up my return, I was asked to sign paperwork at the front desk to file my taxes, but there was still no discussion of the total cost or breakdown of services. The CPA did not personally explain anything and remained in his office while staff handled the transaction. I was charged $500, which was much higher than expected for a straightforward return. I would have appreciated clear communication about pricing before any work was started so I could make an informed decision. I'm sharing this so others know to ask for a written fee agreement upfront before using this service.

We have a fairly complex tax situation ( multiple homes, multiple businesses) and generally are in a challenging tax situation. Laura's knowledge helped me with a tax error from a prior provider and saved me over 40k! She is always available for question and just a kind business woman. She is a credit to the community and excellent in her field. Her rate is very reasonable and this year she identified valid deductions from my rental home I hadn't even considered- just from a conversation! I went years thinking I could manage my own taxes as I am Financial services. Laura saved me close to 80k I would never have managed on my own. Trust me - let an expert help you and pick one you can trust like Laura!
