Con's - None at all My wife and I recently switched over to HK Associates when our long-time accountant retired. Harjot Khangura has done a great job helping us transition both our S-Corp, and our personal account. He's professional, responsive, and easy to get along with (both in person, and online.) On a technical note, HK's Tax Dome (their document upload portal) is easy to navigate and was helpful in keeping everything running smoothly. Harjot made migrating to his firm a positive experience, (critical because we received zero help from our old accountant). We highly recommend Harjot for both personal taxes as well as corporate taxes. DW

I had been with MOTA for many years but left after my 2024 returns were completed. They did both a…read morebusiness return and a personal return. They are very pleasant people, but not easy to deal with. Additionally, they are expensive. They charged me $140 to produce a single 1099-MISC, that I supplied all information for! Their new system and their demands became too difficult to deal with. Their questions seemed like audit questions rather than tax questions. And questions they should've asked about my taxes, they NEVER asked. They assume you know what should be submitted to them, and don't ask you any questions about what wasn't submitted. For example, in 2024 with the Mountain Fire in my neighborhood they should've asked about catastrophic losses. They know my address and know I live in the middle of many houses that were burned to the ground. They should've asked but never did. Fortunately, the question was asked for my 2025 return. Lack of competence or lack of leadership? Not sure which, but glad I switched.

I strongly recommend Mission Oaks Tax and Accounting!

I first contacted this organization weeks ago. Their voicemail instructed me to text rather than…read morecall, which was unusual, so I followed their instructions. I received a reply stating they were on vacation for two more weeks and would respond when they returned. They never did. After waiting, I reached out again and was told they were working through their backlog and to allow another day or two. That was over a week ago, and I've still received no response. For an organization that exists to support people, this level of communication is unacceptable. My situation is deeply personal and time-sensitive, and being repeatedly ignored has been incredibly disappointing. At the very least, people deserve timely communication and the courtesy of a response.

I found Jacobs & Jacobs after an online search of local accountants in Thousand Oaks. They had good…read morereviews so I decided to set up a consultation. They set up a phone call with Massimo to help me out with a financial issue related to stock options from my former employer. Massimo has always been an utmost professional - he has listened to all of my concerns, always offering honest and helpful advice. We were able to get my issues with the IRS sorted and we have come back since to continue filing our taxes with him. There was even a follow up bill related to the same issue mentioned before, and Massimo was able to spot an error the IRS made, cutting our amount owed in half! A couple quick notes: I was not paid for, nor did I receive any kind of discount in exchange for this review. I'm a real human and this is actually my firsthand experience! I say this because all these reviews start to sound the same and generally fake over time, but I am an actual real person! While Massimo did politely request I write a review, I was more than happy to (of my own volition), since he has been such a great resource. I'm glad to help more people learn of his excellent services!
