We have been using Sumi for several years for non-trivial/non-simple taxes and she's been great…read more Every year she has more information for me about possible deductions that have been added to the tax code or how I can better prepare for the next year, so in addition to doing taxes I'm unable to do on my own, her service improves for me year after year. A brief description of the non-trivial taxes Sumi has handled for us: * My wife works normal w-2 wages, and we have normal easy turbotax tax concerns like property tax and mortgage interest and 1099-INT or 1099-DIV deductions from savings. * I work a 1099 contractor job (software engineering) where I pay estimated taxes throughout the year and have additional self-employed deductions that I'm allowed to take for work-related expenses. * I have a single member LLC for some iPhone apps I've published on the app store. * I'm part of a dual-member LLC for other apps a friend and I published and maintain. For my needs, Sumi does it all: * She does our normal easy turbotax bits. * She handles our dual-member LLC form 1065/K-1 paperwork I have no Idea how to do. * She handles my single member LLC paperwork and advises me on how to better do my 1099-income related deductions year after year. * She reminds me to file state-related franchise tax forms related to the LLCs every year. * She helps me prepare for estimated tax payments by doing the math for me and giving me pre-filled tax payments, and reminding me to talk to her about the Jan 15 one at the tail end of the year to fix any discrepencies in estimated vs actual income come year end. * She always advises me every year on new slightly more complicated tax measures I could take (Such as creating an S-CORP for myself if 1099 becomes a long term employment situation for me), but she is also very understanding of my preference to keep things simple as long as possible (and two LLCs plus 1099 income is already complicated enough as is!). Sumi is very kind and helpful, always. And, she always does her homework for me, as there have been some non-trivial / abnormal tax situations related to the dual-member LLC where she has gone back to tax books and tax peers to double check her advice before giving it. Sumi is one of those rare professionals who makes your life easier rather than more complex and makes you very glad you found her rather than someone less helpful or too over-your-head with tax legalese speak.

I really, really liked working with Abby…read more Accounting will always be accounting: some have a head for it and some don't, but not every accountant has great communication and customer service skill to compliment their practice. Abby should get five stars for accounting and five stars for service and personable interaction as well.

She was able to do a great deal of work for us efficiently and accurately and took on a monster of a task with a stellar attitude. Super competent, highly recommended. Don't go with just any old burn-out when you have the option to get superior service with a smile.

I finally found CPA service I trust and has showed me I made the right decision. I wanted to take the time to thank Linda W Lou, CPA firm for everything that you have done for me. Over the passed few months it's been challenging but I've learned and experience something that I haven't experience in a very long time since I've left the military. And that is Trust..... And what I mean by that is trusting someone to do what they say with no real hidden agenda, and only with my best interest at heart . Her and team had put a lot of time in going back researching and correcting mistakes made by my previous CPA law firm for over five years that I trust but fail me for not taking care of business like it should been and also the mistakes made by the IRS. She is currently handling all my overseas travel for the last three years. It has been my pleasure and I'm very happy that I chose you and CPA Law firm to be my advisor and consultant for this very important part of my life and records. But what I'm really trying to say is... Thank you..... And I appreciate everything that you've done and will do for me in the future thank you.
