Old reviews were from when Cort was the owner. New owner / new CPA bought this firm in late 2019 and I think Cort stayed on for a bit after to help transition and I think that transition is over now - sadly, the new person is tanking the firm due to incompetence. They offered me money given I sign a release to not say anything... I wonder how many times something like that has happened. Here is what happened to me this year... I brought what I thought was a mistake to Azada, and they assured me that no mistake had been made. After having another firm correct the mistake, they told me "We didn't know the accounting law, so how can you hold us liable for ignorance?" - Well, Michael, that is exactly what I pay you for - for your knowledge, and to literally know the accounting rules... They had me paying over $5,000 when I was due a refund. This error has caused me a lot of time and money (however, had I not corrected the error Michael T would have had me pay a MUCH greater sum to the IRS - which is interesting, because this is the first CPA that I've met which prefers paying a higher amount to the IRS. Why? Probably because if they have you overpay it limits their liability (while if you underpay they may be liable for it. To me knowledge, if a CPA makes a mistake while being presented the correct information, they may be liable for the tax difference. However, this CPA goes the opposite direction and has you pay more which then eliminates much of their liability! - how ridiculous. This is a person who bought a CPA firm rather than building it up themselves - and I can see why. Here is a part of an email which I sent Michael T. "Here is how I see things... 1) I hired you to be my CPA. 2) I told you I thought it was incorrect. You assured me multiple times it was correct. 3) You showed I owed over $5,000. 4) I sought a second opinion. Second opinion said you did things wrong. 5) After I told you I had hired someone else because your way was incorrect, you stood by your original tax preparation stating that you were still correct. 6) After showing you the new preparers return, we had a phone call. On this phone call, you said you shouldn't be held responsible because you did not know the tax law. To me, ignorance is not an excuse, and you should say "I apologize, I was wrong, and due to my error and the fact that you've been a client for over 10 years, and now the knowledge I have gained which will help me in my practice, I will gladly send you a check for the amendment troubles". But instead, you insisted you shouldn't be held responsible due to ignorance. I just don't think that is right... 7) Then, after stating you would get back to me tomorrow (on the call), then early next week (in the email), I emailed you on that Friday to say 'hey, where are we at?', and that email went ignored. I then sent another email which became a bit more aggressive because your resolutions have been lackluster at best. 8) Now, you ask if $509 is acceptable. It is not. You filed a return on my behalf that would have had me pay 10x that amount, and then continued to state that that amount was correct." I asked them to pay the amount I was charged to have the mistake corrected. Well, at first I asked them to split the amount but they hemmed and hawed for a long time and never even agreed to that. Due to it being a mistake and needing to file amendments which is not easy and requires more work than being filed correctly in the first place, it was not cheap! He refused to work with me on this amount and stood by his statement that being ignorant of tax law should excuse him from it. This new guy is awful. read more

See all

Mike is a fabulous CPA!! I would recommend him to anyone needing the assistance of a CPA!! He and his staff are very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly!! read more

We met with Cort Arlint to discuss setting up a business and trying to determine what business structure to use. We favored forming a C Corporation. Cort listened to our story, then asked and answered some questions. We had already met or spoke with 3 previous CPA's or attorneys. Cort stood head and shoulders above them. He answered questions that others failed to respond to. His knowledge and honesty was exemplary. We left having new knowledge on what to do. Cort could have appeased us and said we could do what we thought was best. But instead, he told us what the best structure was to form. It meant we would not be doing business with his firm, at least at this time. However, if there ever is an occasion in the future where we need a tax attorney or CPA, we are calling Arlint CPA. No question about it. read more

slipped again this year. a very obvious mistake too, never should have happened. Is the writing on the wall?

Cort is fabulous! Their tax process is seamless and made filing this year the easiest I have ever experienced. He met with me in person last week to collect the necessary documents (there is a list provided on their website) and he let me know a couple other items I needed later that day. I provided them and a few days later we met. I signed my tax return, paid the reasonable fee ($125/hr) and I am done! What a great feeling to not have to sit white knuckled through Turbo Tax this year. I highly recommend Cort for his CPA services. read more

I have worked with Amanda for over 5 years! She is my go to! She is very very helpful and full of knowledge and great advice! I love her so much! She makes everything easy to understand ! read more

Just picked up our taxes prepared by Trenton. He was very nice to work with. My wife and I just moved into the area and needed a cpa due to each of us just retiring, selling a home in another state, buying a home here, dealing with another state income tax, drawing out of our investment, etc. Trenton took all of our information and in just a few days had our returns ready. Oh, and after never getting a refund for years, he got us over 2k. Rates are reasonable and you come out of there feeling you are in good hands. read more

I moved back to NV a couple of tax seasons ago and needed a new CPA. I'm so glad I found Arlint. Everyone is great, they are timely and helpful. Amanda, my bookkeeper, shows me best practices for keeping my business financiances sorted. I'm now realizing how useless my previous bookkeeper was! read more

We have been using Arlint (Cort) for about seven years. The firm, especially Cort, is outstanding. He is easy to deal with, the staff is pleasant and professional, and they are always available to answer any questions we might have. I would recommend Cort and Arlint to anyone who is looking for a tax professional who is trustworthy, reliable, and easy to deal with. read more

We were in the market for a new tax preparer last season and came across Arlint on Yelp. Since it was close to our home and we had a ton of stuff going on within our taxes we set up a consultation with Trent. We were so pleased that he answered all of our questions and really knew what he was talking about. He filed our taxes this past year and again, we appreciated his knowledge since the place we were going to prior had incompetent tax preparers. In May my husband decided to leave his regular day job and do some 1099 work. Self employment taxes were a complete mystery to us and so we called up Trent again and he helped answer the thousand questions we had (for a fee). He then answered all our questions when we called back with more and again when my husband just had two more questions. He's very patient and his answers are clear, it's just there's a lot to learn and know about self employment taxes. You can either set up an appointment in person or by phone, but I'm nearly positive it's by appointment only. If you're looking for a new CPA, we highly recommend Trent. read more

I've used the services of Arlint CPA for a few years now, after forming an S Corp for my business. From corporate taxes to forms 941 to questions about personal taxes, both Cort and Trent have taken the time to answer all of my questions, and always clearly stated their fees upfront. My appointments have always been on time, and the entire staff has been helpful and friendly. Earlier this year, I called to ask about when corporate taxes were due (as I had only done them once before). I was told that the deadline was only days away, but they had automatically filed an extension for me a month earlier. Saved by Arlint! That alone made me a customer for the long haul. read more

My wife and I were filing our first joint tax return this year so we decided to go to a CPA to make sure it was done right. The staff here were very welcoming and professional. Mr. Arlint assured us that we were in good hands. He was very thorough and systematic. It was nice to see that it was a family business as well. I would recommend this place to anyone filing anything other than a simple tax return. read more

Arlint, CPA is well worth your money! Trenton recently filed my taxes for the second year in a row and he continues to impress me. These brothers will thoroughly review your personal circumstances to get you the greatest possible return. There is no way TurboTax could be as all-inclusive and comprehensive as Trenton Arlint. Admittedly, I am occasionally naive to the "grown-up" world, but Trenton was conscientious in his thorough explanations. These brothers are EXTREMELY busy during tax season, but you would never sense it. I never felt like I couldn't ask a question, no matter how insignificant I thought it was. Trenton took the time to make sure I felt confident with my filing. This family-owned business is the place to go. Not only will you receive genuine customer service, but you will have the most thorough tax assessment possible. read more

I recommend this place to anyone who needs a CPA, as I am starting my new small business they were so helpful with all my questions and when the guy (Trent, I think) didn't know he brought in his office manager who was a pro at state questions. I seriously appreciated their help so much as I had gone to SCORE offices and small business support groups and non could answer my questions!! I'm thankful that they were able to give me advice and answer my questions. They will be the CPA I use as my business gets started!! Highly recommended! read more

Every once in a great while you have to rave about a business or service. I saw Cort yesterday for my FREE consult. The IRS can be very stressful, I must say he put me at ease. There wasn't a single question he wasn't able to answer (believe me I wrote a list there were so many). The gal at the reception desk made a great initial representation with her personality as well. Thank you again. There are only 5 stars...I give this business a 10!!! read more

These guys are the pros of tax pros. They know everything about tax code and answer all your questions. On top of all of this, their rates are very reasonable for excellent service. If you want knowledgeable tax people who are also attorneys these are your guys. Amanda who is the office manager makes you feel comfortable and provides any information requested. read more

I have been doing my personal and business taxes for the last 3 years with Arlint and I am always satisfied with the service provided. I would recommend to everybody and I plan to keep coming back. read more

Cort handled our Nevada/California tax return involving the sale of income property that we had owned more than 30 years involving several million dollars. He was friendly, fast and knowledgeable. His expertise and speed resulted in a very reasonable bill. We will use Cort from now on. read more

These guys did our taxes. I normally go to a place like HNR BLOCK, but this year with my in home business I wanted a more personal touch. They take the time to review and don't "rush" you like the corporate places do. You have an initial appointment and then a follow up to review everything completed. The price was vet similar to what I paid at H N R the previous year but I felt more appreciated here than at the "corporate places. I think we will be back next year :) read more

Cort is awesome. Much cheaper than my previous CPA, got my taxes done in less than an hour last time despite it being the first time he looked at any of my documents, and I will definitely be returning next tax season. read more

I seen the reviews on here and needed someone great. I had recvd notice from IRS that I owed from last yrs taxes. I had them done at a jack-in-the-box place. I thought they were wrong at the time but they are the experts.....not!!! So I came here and Trenton took a look at 2014 and noticed right away there was something wrong. He fixed 2014 and instead of owing ALOT, I am getting back 3X that!!! That is usually what I would get every year. He also did this years taxes. Very fast, professional, and so close by. If you need help with Income Taxes, this is the place! The office is nice and secretary very nice and friendly. Clean and looks brand new in a great area. Plenty of parking. Don't waste your time or $$$ with the rest, go to the best. hahahahahah read more

Trent and Amanda at Arlint, CPA have been super helpful. The process of creating a LLC can be a hassle, especially for a foreign national. They made it a breeze, for a more than reasonable price! read more

I had my taxes prepared by Arlint CPA last year and received fantastic service. Mr. Arlint graciously scheduled me for a free office consultation on short notice, and was able to answer all my questions. My documents were prepared on time, and Mr. Arlint was able to get me a bigger return than I had expected. I found my experience using Arlint CPA to be very good, and will be using them again next year. read more

Second year going here. Cort and Trent are both very knowledgeable and easy to work with. The entire office staff is very friendly and welcoming. Great to help you receive a refund at it's fullest potential where there are deductions that you may be unaware of and do not know you are entitled. I will go there every year from now on. read more

Can't say enough good things about these guys and their office staff! Professional and entertaining is a great combination, especially when it comes to something as stressful as taxes. Thanks so much for the help and I will see you again next year!!! read more
