I wish we could give Yosef Manela's office NO stars…read more TOTAL FRAUD in our opinion. We were with them for 3 or 4 years. First of all Yosef charges prime rates. So you expect to get prime service. But that's not the case. Every time you want to reach him you need to wait on the phone and then he picks up then he keeps putting you on hold then tells you to email him. He answers emails pretty fast; However, when you go to meet him, you should carve out 4 hours of your day. He is all over the place, in and out of the office, picks up the phone in the middle your talk, calls the front desk in and out and and and... Tell you unrelated stories and tried to make it that he sounds super smart and know it all because he is a CPA and a lawyer. Now let's get to the goodies. When he reviews your tax return before filing, first of all, his juniors handle everything, they type in all the numbers and they all keep asking him questions, then he simply scrolls up and down your file and makes a few changes. And if you ask about something you don't understand, he simply says "We do that next year", "That's not going to save you" and etc. This year was last year we filed with them and I just had 2 separate CPA firms review his filings. HE IS TOTALLY OFF... Many items he put on there are not even the items I have reported. Calculations are wrong. Name of the business are wrong... IT IS A MESS. Over the years he charged us (and I know of a couple of other clients) thousands of dollars and when you ask for small things he charges you and sends you a bill. Go to an HONEST firm. Don't waste your time, energy and money with this firm. There are so many other CPA firms that are ETHICAL. This is NOT one of them.

Mr. Manela Yosef advised me on everything I was doing right and wrong with my business and right then and then said I will never have to worry about business and personal taxes again! I came prepared with all my documents and figures in my briefcase, my just proceeded to start doing the taxes for both California and D.C. right there, the last two weeks I tried going to different CPAs trying to find someone who can at least see me for 15 minutes let alone do my taxes. I saw one other CPA around 90036 and that other CPA just gave me the scared tactic and lied to me and gave me all this bad advise, i'm not going to name names but don't always trust Yelp when they have 15 5 star ratings it means they are probably paying Yelp. Mr. Manela Yosef is straight, to the point, QUICK, it was my fault I didn't file on time but we make great looking website and mobile app we can't do taxes! I'm referring my friend to Mr. Yosef who does graphic design also and sometimes works on a 1099.

This year, I shopped around for a CPA locally and couldn't find the right fit (one business tried to upsell me into something I shouldn't be doing). Jean helped guide me through the whole process and was able to answer all of my questions, from the most basic to the convoluted. We were even able to amend a previous tax year, which I did not know was possible. I definitely would recommend Jean, especially if you're a business and homeowner. Her credentials are impressive. You definitely want a former IRS tax agent in your corner before April.

Having worked with a few CPA's, I can say without a doubt, Jean Rhee is the best CPA. If you're…read morelike me and a fresh graduate, new to the tax world, she is your best friend. She takes the time to explain how taxes work, and what benefits you and doesn't benefit you. Jean is extremely knowledgeable about s-corps and accounting. She's also really good about getting back to you in a timely manner! :) She has a lovely and sweet personality, which makes doing taxes much less painful. My experience with her thus far has been great. Yes, her prices are steeper compared to CPA's in the San Gabriel area, but is she definitely worth it. Pay more for a quality CPA, and you will understand your taxes better. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Tip: Street parking is better. The parking in the back is shared amongst the other businesses, and you don't want to risk your car getting towed.

However, what I think of as "complex" tax problems and what Meepos considers "complex" are not the same. I just got off the phone with the owner of Meepos, and as Laura stated correctly, Meepos DO do personal taxes... for folks with very complex tax issues. What they also do that provides HUGE value to folks like me who think they have complex tax issues, is provide a referral to someone who will cost a lot less. "We have a staff of 15," he said. "You don't need to pay for that kind of firepower." And then he gave me a referral to a CPA that he said they've gotten a lot of really good feedback on. (Review to come...) That's pretty huge value, and why I give them 5 stars. Seriously, you'll take the time to listen to my situation, ask me questions to get as much information as you need, and then give me a referral to someone who will save me money? That's honesty and integrity? Hell yeah, I'll refer these guys... to folks with really complex taxes. :)

I had such a horrible experience with Ricky. I know now that I'll never select an accountant from…read moreYelp again! Ricky helped me with some back taxes and things were fine for a couple of years. He helped me catch up but I noticed one year that there was a mistake on my tax return. I pointed it out and Ricky said his software made the mistake and he didn't catch it. That was a red flag but I missed it because Ricky was so nice. I thought he was on my side. I trusted him. Ricky up-sold me on hiring him to handle a more extensive tax matter. So I paid him $1000 up front and agreed to pay $1000 at the end when the issue was resolved. We were preparing an appeal to the decision and it was tax season so Ricky delayed until the end of the appeal period. A couple of days before the deadline, Ricky tried to collect the final $1000 even though our agreement was I pay him upon completion of the whole process. Long story short, Ricky resigned about 2 hours prior to the final deadline on the final day. He said that I didn't have to pay the final $1000 and he resigned via email. I called him and he didn't return my call. My heart sank and I knew he screwed me. I seriously regret ever selecting him from Yelp. At the very least, if Ricky was in over his head, he could have resigned a month prior and gave me the chance to hire someone else. The thing that upsets me and disappoints me is not the mistakes and his lack of experience, it was the fact that he left me hanging and wouldn't face me- and he took my $1000 without upholding his agreement.
