UPDATE: :) you as well. Exactly, see response from owner. Lol.... Pretentious, rude, and unhelpful service. Surprised as the reviews here are stellar. Definitely chose not to work with them from my initial consultation. Maybe it was a fluke, hopefully for others it was as this was service that made me feel like a bother more than a customer. read more

I'm a general contractor and I have some professional skills, that aid me in my business, but unfortunately bookkeeping/taxes are not in my repertoire. Same for my wife that is a baker. Edwin and his team, through diligence and hard work, methodically went through years of our mess to find thousands of dollars' worth of missed tax benefits. To date, Aldaris Group has paid for themselves by correcting one year's worth of Federal taxes, and they're still going, we're even looking at state taxes. Edwin has some great ideas to restructure my company, as well. I can tell you that it wasn't easy to amend past years of taxes, and I had to put some work in on my end as well, but my wife and I are better off now than before we hired Aldaris Group. They are worth every penny! read more

I don't often post reviews, but I had such a good experience with Aldris that I wanted to take a moment to share. I was previously a client of a top nationwide competitor and let me say that Edwin trumps them hands down! He's accurate, undeniably knowledgeable, fast and responsive. The team at Aldaris was easy to work with and took the time to provide in-depth knowledge of tax laws and implications. Thanks to Edwin and his team, doing my taxes wasn't as painful as the rest of 2020. :) If you want professionalism and attentiveness, the Aldaris CPA Group is for you! See you guys next year! read more

When you receive a notice from the IRS it usually isn't fun news. After not seeing any success in getting in contact with the IRS especially during Covid I decided needed accounting expertise to help decipher the tax code and provide a plan going forward on a somewhat complicated trust matter. From my first meeting with Edwin I knew I found just that expert. He was very knowledgeable and explained complicated matters in a understandable way. His staff was very professional and took the necessary steps you would expect of a highly skilled operation to take. I would highly recommend using this firm. read more

I wanted to provide an update on my review. I had Aldaris CPA Group do my 2016 tax return. I went into this thinking I would owe a bit in taxes for the year, but in working with Edwin, he found enough in my tax return where I actually received a refund - I can only say great things about my accountant! Edwin is worth every single penny you invest in his accounting services. read more

I can't say enough good things about Edwin and the Aldaris Group. He is much more than just an accountant. He is what a real accountant should be. Someone who helps you strategically manage your wealth to minimize taxes, risk exposure, while maximizing your wealth creation. He is extremely knowledgeable and creative in his solutions. He doesn't just think inside the box, he thinks well outside the box. His depth of knowledge on any tax question continues to confirm that he is the one I can trust with helping me make smart financial decisions today and well into the future. Thanks Edwin for the help! read more

This is an update from my earlier review. My wife and I have been going to Edwin for two years now and he has been a great help with our taxes. He is straight up and honest and even showed us how we could invest more in our IRA. He's also very attentive, prompt and organized. We'll definitely be going back next year, especially with the new tax law going into effect. read more

I'm an architect and realtor running my own small businesses and have been working with Edwin at Aldaris CPA Group for the last two years to help with my tax filings. He's extremely knowledgeable about small business tax structures and is very helpful in giving strategies to optimize my business and personal finances to be more tax efficient. He's willing to take the time to explain tax questions clearly and goes out of his way to be helpful beyond just doing a tax filing. I would be glad to refer him to friends and clients. read more

Edwin was great! Very friendly, knowledgeable and time efficient. I came to him with a BIG mess of taxes. He was able to help me sort everything out, he explained everything in a way that I was able to understand and he completed my tax forms is a very timely manner. I would definitely recommend visiting with Edwin, you'll definitely be in good hands. read more

Edwin is simply the best, not only in West Seattle but in accounting. Personal, joint, company, all that. Edwin is incredibly diligent and caring, and gets down to the bottom of every case. He works with integrity and empathy. Use him for whatever tax / accounting matter is important to you. You won't be disappointed. You get what you pay for in the best ways. read more

Edwin was great! He was knowledgeable, responsive and made doing taxes far less painful. I would definitely recommend him! Everything was handled electronically so I didn't have to spend a lot of time at his office. read more

I needed a new CPA after converting my business to an S Corp and Edwin came through, completing three complex returns in a very reasonable amount of time. He's always available to discuss a question I have and responds quickly and confidently to our inquiries. I was looking for a CPA that would do his best to minimize our tax burden and plan for the future and I'm happy to have chosen Edwin. Looking forward to many years as a client. read more

Given the excellent reviews elsewhere, I was shocked how unresponsive and incompetent this group is. We contacted the group and set up a meeting with Edwin to discuss the tax implications of an inheritance. He met with us and walked us through it. He promised to send us a summary of the meeting, which he did not. We did some quick Googling, and every single website noted that the law had recently changed and explained how Edwin's advice no longer applied. Because of this, the advice he gave us was flat out wrong and would result in a severe financial penalty. We then wrote to him to clarify the question, and he never wrote back. We had a very simple question, and he somehow got it wrong. I would never trust this firm for advice or tax preparation, as they do not seem to know what they are doing. read more

Edwin is always informative and responsive. He is always available to answer my questions as well as giving advice. Looking forward to working with him again. read more

My husband and I wanted to find an accountant to help us file our taxes that are just a little bit complicated since we were filing jointly for a taxes in California and Georgia. I am SO thankful that we found Edwin... He is truly amazing! He got back to our emails so quickly, we felt like we were his only client, which I know is definitely not true!! He made everything so easy for us to understand and went (as every other reviewer is saying) above and beyond our expectations. We loved the upload site for all of the tax documentation--so easy to use. And when you meet with Edwin in person, he gives you his undivided attention. He is our tax hero and we are thrilled to work with him for years to come as he helps us better plan out our taxes. I hope that he is getting some rest now that tax season is over because he absolutely deserves it! read more

Edwin Del Carpio, CPA was recommended to me by a friend and he lived up to my expectations, and far beyond. Not only is he personable and intelligent, but he's good with people as he is with numbers. I had a list of questions that he answered without me having to ask them. His advice for starting my business saved me hundreds of dollars and days of research. He's the type of CPA who will become part of my business team for many years to come. read more

I've used Edwin's services for two tax seasons and have been amazed both years. He is thorough, communicates well and helps me understand the complexities of running a small business. Highly recommended. read more

Edwin is outstanding. Following the recent passing of my mother, my siblings and I were looking for an accountant to do both an individual and estate return. Edwin was exceptional. What stood out to me about Edwin was his constant responsiveness (and pleasantness) to answer even the most simple questions to allow us to organize the necessary paperwork during this difficult time for us. While cost was not the most important thing to us, Edwin's fees were outstanding and transparent. We were grateful that he did an excellent and very timely filing of multiple tax forms. read more

Aldaris CPA Group maintains outstanding service and talent. We have worked with Edwin in two different capacities. The first is as a financial consultant to guide us in the impact of life transitions such as the purchase of a home, beginning a start up business, and scheduling debt repayment and childcare costs, and potentially pursing additional degree programs. The second is as our family CPA to provide annual tax filing services in addition to helping provide guidance to help us modify our allowances and deductions to maximize our monthly income and minimize our annual tax payments. At all times, Edwin has been professional, approachable, and incredibly talented at what he does. As a young family, starting out in our financial growth, we were apprehensive and nervous to sit down with a formal CPA practice. While we were unsure where to start, Edwin helped guide the conversation in a collaborative and inclusive way that allowed us to participate in the development of a personalized service plan that met all of our needs. We are able to work with Edwin throughout the year as things come up, as they always do, and are not just restricted to communication and work in the tax season. We are incredibly pleased with the work of Aldaris CPA Group and we highly recommend that you and your family consider this team for your CPA needs. read more

For the past 15 years, I've felt like the Goldilocks of clients as our CPAs have been either far too cold (terribly inattentive) or far too hot (crazy hyper-vigilant) When we found Edwin, I finally felt like there was someone who was looking out for our best interests. I think this is because he seems to really enjoy what he does and is very good at it. He is the CPA for the law firm I work for and has been extremely flexible, helpful and personable. Edwin was willing to conference in to a call I had to make to the payroll company for year-end issues. The payroll company wanted to charge me exorbitant fees, against which Edwin fought on behalf of our company as though it was his own. He also had the expertise that I didn't to communicate exactly what we needed from the payroll company. Further, Edwin has positioned us to greatly benefit by filing under the proper business structure. I think he has impressed my hard-to-impress boss, which is great because I'd love to keep this business relationship going indefinitely. read more

Edwin is great. I've used him for two tax seasons and been impressed each time. He's easy to work with and I have confidence that his tax advice maximizes the savings that are legally available. I'm looking forward to working with him next year. read more

I hired Aldaris about 6 months ago to take care of the accounting for my marketing agency. It has been an absolute pleasure working with them. Edwin with Aldaris CPA Group is incredibly knowledgeable and competent in all things related to tax preparation and tax law. It really is true that you get what you pay for. Hiring a qualified CPA is well worth the money and Aldaris is without a doubt the way to go. read more

Edwin's patience and ability to instruct me on how things are done and why make him a top notch CPA. I trust him with my books wholeheartedly. read more
