This place is a complete disaster…read more They prepared and filed my 2023 taxes, and I NEVER received my refund. Now, because of how they handled my return, I'm dealing with the Franchise Tax Board saying I owe money. So not only did I not get my refund, I'm now stuck cleaning up a mess they created. When I asked for basic documentation like a copy of MY OWN tax return they refused to give it to me. There is no excuse for that. You file taxes under someone's name but won't provide them a copy? That alone should tell you everything. They also claimed they had proof of where my refund was sent, but what they provided wasn't even mine they were mixing my information up with my mother's. That is a serious and careless error when you're handling people's financial records. And instead of fixing it, Rose, who calls herself the "president," was incredibly rude and dismissive. She told me she would "no longer entertain" my messages, said to "do as I want," and told me not to contact their office again all because I asked for answers about my own taxes. Then she had the nerve to tell me to go deal with the FTB myself or hire another accountant basically telling me to spend more money to fix THEIR mistake. This is not just bad service it's irresponsible. Mixing up client information, refusing to provide records, and shutting down communication when questioned is unacceptable. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

I was stuck with the same accountant that came along with the family. I wanted something different, i wanted to understand a little more about Tax planning. Pretax made sure all my entitled deductions were properly deducted, they also reviewed my last two years of my S-Corp tax returns and guided me in the right direction. Pretax took the tax burden off of my shoulders by providing our business monthly bookkeeping for a decent price, now i can get back to running my business and not worrying about paperwork.

You could totally rely on Ed, the previous owner, and his extensive professional knowledge in taxes and everything that had to do with it, but I guess he's retiring. Now, they have a new owner, this Chris guy, who's supposedly a CPA, but that's just a title on a piece of paper. When you call in with a question and actually want to talk to the "CPA," he will put you on hold to go find out the answer to your question from his employees. He knows nothing about business, taxes, even basic things like EIN or business license. But he's raising the prices (lol I guess CPA to him means charging a higher price, not professional knowledge or responsibility) that Ed kept in place for years or even decades. Save yourself from trouble and avoid at all costs!

Come on, he's an Enrolled Agent (he can stand before the IRS in court, etc.), he's an MBA (he knows business) and he's a great human being. I've had accountants in the past that seemed to work FOR the IRS, not for me. Ed is different - he'll go that extra mile to get you those same tax breaks that the rich guys get. And he'll give you good business advice, too. He looks out for you now, and down the road.
