I hired her to do bookkeeping and to train me on QuickBooks. The limited bookkeeping was grossly inaccurate with many, many things miscategorized.

Paula did my tax return in 2023 and gave me advice on contributing to an IRA that proved to be…read moreincorrect, forcing me into hours of work and headaches to reverse and document. She charged me over $2000 and did no better than TurboTax. And to make matters worse, she never took responsibility for her work. I wasn't able to give her a review before because she disappeared online. Now she's apparently back. Oh and she was working from Hawaii at the time, although advertising as if living in Sausalito.

AVOID This INCOMPETENT CROOK. Paula refused to respond to me until after I posted my initial Yelp…read morereview with screenshots proving her wrongdoing & filed a complaint with the California Board of Accountancy. I would've preferred to resolve this privately, but some behavior is so egregious that it cannot be ignored. On October 14th, she tried extorting an additional $250 from me ahead of the October 16th CA tax deadline on top of the $3,247 I had already paid her for a rejected return that had to be corrected and re-filed hours before the deadline due to her mistakes (screenshot below). Paula refused to respond to my emails & calls, yet somehow found time to respond to my Yelp review when she should've been focused on accurately re-filing my return. She can't even refute my post because the truth speaks for itself. Instead, she resorts to gaslighting & falsely claiming that I gave her inaccurate information. Rather than apologize and make things right, she attempted to publicly blame me for her error which demonstrates her complete lack of accountability. The only thing chaotic and disorganized is her manual client intake system. (See screenshots of her 42 page "tax organizer" that you have to manually fill out unless you purchase an Adobe subscription). She thrives in chaos because it enables her to charge additional fees for exchanging back and forth emails instead of replacing her inefficient document management system. I sent Paula multiple filing status clarification emails BEFORE the tax deadline (screenshots below). She didn't "donate" any time. It's an insult to anyone's intelligence to claim such nonsense after she received $3,247 for a rejected individual tax return. To add insult to injury, she brazenly demanded another $250 to correct HER mistake. When I refused to be extorted, she backed down and made the correction she should've made all along (an admission of guilt, although someone like this never explicitly admits when they are wrong (screenshots below). The updated return was half the length of the original, and since she refused to explain the discrepancy & has forbidden me to call for clarification, I hope the new return is accurate (screenshot below of me requesting clarification & her non-response). It never should have come to this, but bullies and con artists like Paula should never be acquiesced to. Beware of this wolf in sheep's clothing who seems pleasant and polite on the surface. Charm is deceitful. When people show you who they are, believe them.

He's going to…read moresave you a TON of headaches and the good stuff $$$$ MOOLA I was lucky to find Keith, many years ago. I run my own business and he set me up to create and distribute invoices, collections, and everything that it takes to get my billing done. I mean it was a revelation for me to get everything in order and know where it's all going - and More Importantly - where it's coming in from!! Right. They did my taxes and saved me a bunch of money - and listen, I have an undergrad in accounting with a concentration in taxes (4.0 in this area) but I gotta admit - it is / it was and always will be CONFUSING! (Confucius say use Axis to save yourself aches and pains). Okay, maybe too corny. A HUGE Blessing to have these guys really take the time - be extremely patient (I wouldn't be that patient) and take me through the steps of doing my own day to day accounting. At first they did it for me - and then they weaned me out of it by helping me through the steps numerous times. I wanted to do it after a few years when my business became easier. Point is - Contact Axis with Keith - you will Love this guy. He's too easy to deal with and he has a personality. Some accountants you don't know what they're thinking like it's some kind of mystery. Not so with these guys - straight up, reliable, and get the job done by knowing all the angles. INTEGRITY

And then, the stars aligned. I had previously worked with Keith and Alissa in my past life. They were highly regarded throughout the company and were known to get it done. Keith randomly reached out to me asking if I needed help with my books. I jumped out of my chair and said I needed him 6 months ago!! I would hire him as my CFO if I could afford him (I still plan on doing so when I can ;)). I now actually have books that are properly categorized and inventory that is actually booked properly! It's freaking amazing. I can not recommend this firm more to people that are in need of accounting/bookkeeping services!

I learned about EAs from a community whatsapp and went in search of one. After looking for several weeks and reaching out to a few, it was Phuong's rapid response (by email and phone) and his kind demeanor that helped make my decision. Overall, working with Phuong was straightforward. After agreeing on an estimated cost, Phuong invited me to a secure portal to upload all of my documents. Alongside, Phuong provided a checklist to help guide all of the files/info that you should consider uploading. This was very efficient and helped expedite the process. From beginning to end, it took only a few weeks. It would've gone much faster, but I was delayed in uploading documents, so I caused the delay. Alongside, Phuong answered one-off questions as needed and quickly. And I had a lot of questions! But Phuong was always willing to help. The best part? Phuong confirmed I was actually owed a refund. I was stunned. Is there any better result than that? Of course, this means my quarterly payments were on target, but I'm not sure I would've reached the same result on my own. I can't recommend Phuong enough. He was fast, friendly and importantly, secure. I am certain I will be working with Phuong for all of my tax needs moving forward. Thank you Phuong!!
