Save you time and DO NOT GO THERE. Did my tax return there with Philip. Let's start with the fact that he made us wait for 30 minutes with a new born. He charged us for the full hour even though he was late. When asked about the fee for tax return they don't tell you until you're done and then he charged us over $1000. Mind you me and my husband had the simplest case with. We needed help with a letter we received few days later from theIRS, he never got back to us. This place ignored us completely. Years before I would've paid $250, $300 max for my return but they took advantage of us not knowing much. The worst costumer service. read more

Second time I went to do my taxes the charges were twice as high from the previous year. I left a little bit puzzled since it was a drop off during the pandemic and I had very little stuff to declare. Abe Sopher explained it was more work. I just didn't buy it. So I won't be going to file there again. read more

Either Block Advisors' tax preparation software for an IRS Form 990-PF doesn't work, or their preparer has no knowledge of non-profit, private foundations and how to complete this form. He literally said what I needed done, according to the IRS instructions, can't be done! Really! read more

I have been with Kay as my tax preparer, so I can't judge the other in the office on their skills. But I will say, I am always nicely greeted when I walk in. I have been in there when full and hectic and I have also been in there when there was a one person wait. Esthetically, probably not the best looking facility, but my 5 stars are for my tax preparer, Kay. I followed Kay from another facility over to the North Hollywood location. She's been my preparer for some years now and I have no complaints. She walks me step by step and I always see her thinking of ways to help me ( the legal way). Side note: this facility has a music school over head. I love music, so I don't mind practicing students overhead, deciphering out songs. I love to figure out what they are playing. So if wrong notes, and the appearance of the place turns you off, then you're probably better of going somewhere else. read more

See all

This location is a specialty location where they focus on business tax as well as personal tax. There is always parking easily found behind the building and it's in a pretty central location off of Laurel Canyon. If you're not familiar though, it's easy to drive right past it. This review is for tax preparer DREW SMITH. He works out of this location as well as the Burbank / alameda location next to Starbucks and pavilions. I wanted to write this review because Drew is EXCEPTIONAL at what he does. He is patient, kind, thorough, easy to get in touch with, timely with replies and most of all 100% efficient. He goes above and beyond to help answer questions and get everything straightened out. I honestly don't know what I would do with out his assistance. read more

Block Advisors - Kay worked it out big time!!!! - Tax Services Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Book your appointment with Michel!!! I got twice as much as last year for half of the cost. I also had a great time with him. He's very courteous and has a great sense of humor. I enjoyed doing my taxes with him and sharing a few laughs! Office is clean and friendly. And making an appointment was easy as 123. read more

WORST experience I've EVER had!! The entire experience started off BAD when the H & R (so called adviser) Mr. Kermahi, EA, didn't even acknowledge me when I asked "how are you today?' He gave off the impression immediately that he was NOT thrilled to do his job. Once seated I proceeded to explain my tax reporting requirements (I own a business) the entire time Mr. Kermahi kept giving off the STRONG impression and BAD attitude that he was really NOT thrilled in being there. He continued giving off an air of indifference and impatience and at one point saying "just go back to your previous CPA"! I was completely shocked and confused that he would say that! I then said to him, "I thought THAT is what you are here for, to HELP the client, NOT RUN ME OFF AS FAST AS YOU CAN?" [NOTE: At no point were we ever YELLING at each other. I'm using "UPPER CASE" in this review simply for emphasis.] Not wanting to go through the inconvenience of finding another CPA, I told him I had NO interest in going back to my old CPA, and that I was HERE today to have YOU/H&R do them for me. He listened for a few more minutes letting me explain how my taxes were done the prior year, only to THEN have him abruptly-blurt-out "GO BACK TO YOUR PRIOR CPA, I'M NOT DOING YOUR TAXES, SO HAVE A NICE DAY"! Totally, dumbfounded and completely thrown aback by his outright REFUSAL, SMUGNESS, RUDENESS, UNPROFESSIONALISM and INDIFFERENCE, I said "THANKS A LOT for completely WASTING MY TIME TODAY!" gathered my tax docs and left the H&R office in utter disgust and dissatisfaction. In leaving, I DID tell him I would be filing a formal complainT on his unprofessional behavior, of which he smugly replied "YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD and you do that!" Once I got out to my car, I sat there for a moment in complete disbelief of what just took place! It felt like the "Twilight Zone" or something. I came IN to H&R Block in high spirits and in a great mood, and left upset, stressed out and thoroughly disgusted. :( I have NEVER had an encounter with ANYONE working in the service industry so SMUG AND RUDE as Mr. Kermahi, EA, was to me. Thanks to Mr. Kermahi, EA, I WILL NEVER USE H&R AGAIN AND WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE! To the contrary, I WILL INSTEAD WARN PEOPLE FROM USING H&R Block! I used them in the past and they were incompetent THEN TOO, but decided to give them 'another chance'. HOWEVER, thanks to Mr. Kermahi, EA, that was THE LAST TIME! I'm also filing a formal complain with his superiors!! HUGELY disappointed. :(( read more

I've been coming to this location a few years now and no matter if I'm in NYC or Los Angeles I come back every year for Kay to do my Taxes. You don't get this type of value added service and feedback from many providers nowadays. She's knowledgeable and breaks down these tax laws so you can use to your benefit. As she said, it's about "knowing". Thanks for everything Kay. See you next year. read more

Abe Sopher was delightful, kind, efficient, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful! As someone that works as an independent contractor in the music/entertainment business, my taxes can be a little complicated. However, Abe was recommended to me by my fiance (Bryan) so I trusted his input. That said, I was truly astonished to hear how many small, personal details Abe retained and recollected about Bryan. I was thoroughly impressed with his personable approach to a business that most of us find, well, taxing. read more

ABE IS AMAZING!!!! I went to him 3 years ago and came back again to him this year and he treated me amazing and is so sweet.

I wanted to cry today leaving the office he helped me so much I've never been treated so well by someone in Los Angeles! Thank you so much Abe!!!! So glad I got my taxes done with you. read more

I made an appointment with Kay based on the positive Yelp reviews, and they weren't wrong. She's very knowledgable and goes above and beyond to help you pay as little as necessary on your taxes. She even made calls to the state to get extra info that I needed and gave me advice on how to save more next year. I'll definitely go back to her next tax season. A++ read more

I've been getting my taxes done by Abe Sopher for about 5 years now. I love that guy! I always look forward to seeing him, and he is meticulous about finding any available tax credits. He digs out stuff from our conversations about credits I didn't really think about or didn't realize applied to me. I can't say enough about him. So great! read more

Abe Sopher is the BEST!!!! I really feel that not only do I have an incredible tax ally in Abe, but that I also have a friend. Not only is he very smart, he is also compassionate, caring, thoughtful and as someone else said, utterly delightful! Having a production company in the photography and commercial business makes my taxes a bit complicated. Abe had no problem meeting me as many times as needed. Not only were our appointments productive, but they were fun! In fact, I wish next year was here already so we could work on the next return! I feel blessed to have Abe as my accountant and highly recommend him :) read more

This was my first time going to an H & R Block location so I didn't know what to expect but kept hearing about how they review previous years taxes so I was very interested in having that service done for me. I introduced myself to "Michel" my tax advisor since he was not going to introduce himself to me and immediately became apprehensive about my visit when I had to explain to him what a scholar share account is. He then proceeded to insist I needed a 1099 tax forms for this account which is only true if a person has has a distribution of funds from the account which he should have already known. I won't be returning & strongly advise you not to seek help from this location. read more

Kay prepared my taxes and saved me alot of money. She is very thorough and spent alot of time with me explaining to me about my taxes. This is my second year going to Kay and I will definetly come back next year. read more

Got my taxes done by Jaime Lopez. He was very knowledgeable and was open to answer all my question about UBER and LYFT.

Have been working with Abe for almost 10 years and I always feel like he takes a sincere interest in making sure my taxes are done correctly. He never seems to mind when I ask questions (endlessly) and he works with me each year to be sure I am doing as much on my own behalf to prepare for the coming year. . . . and he is nicest man ever. read more

Abe Sopher is without a doubt the consummate professional. He is profoundly brilliant as a tax accountant.

The 5 stars are for Abe Sopher more than any other factor. I've been working with him for years, and I always know when I head home that I haven't overlooked any write-offs. read more

When I first came here I was ten minutes early and they were mad at me for it, then I waited for 40 minutes while they were all in the break room celebrating a staff members birthday and just sat around talking. I asked what was the hold up and was told in a very snarky tone we'll be with you shortly. Then weeks after I got my taxes done I got a letter from the IRS. There was a mistake on my taxes and I have called twice now and the guy keeps saying I'll call you tomorrow to fix it and never calls back. I have sent 5 emails and gotten no response. Extremely unprofessional. This isn't a business, it's a scam. 350$ for 30 minutes of work and when there's an error they won't fix it or treat you with respect. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

As a freelancer, cross-industry, media and advertising professional with frequent out-of-state moves and multiple income sources, my year-end taxes can be complicated, to say the least.

No matter my circumstances, Abe always delivers unparalleled service, knowledge and guidance with the warmth and understanding of a true master preparer. Why go anywhere else? read more

Thank you for the previous reviews you did not let me down. Kay is amazing! She takes the time to explain everything, its all about the customer and got me refunds I did not even think I had coming.

Go talk to Kay! She is amazing! She was extremely unselfish with her time, very thorough, and went the extra mile to help me with my situation.

Thanks Kay! read more

I highly recommend him and this particular office. read more
