Lina is something special…read more I first met Lina in 2012. I've grown my financial literacy a bit over the years. But I kid you not, that first 15 minute conversation with Lina changed my life. She is a brilliant, genuine, caring person bursting with insight about managing finances. Financial planning is life planning. What-are-your-deepest-hopes-and-dreams-planning. Oh yeah, she & her team file a heck of a tax return. At a certain point, it's not how much a 3rd-party tax preparer costs you -- it's about finding every dollar you're legally entitled to. LET'S ROCK TAX SEASON!

Personality wise, he is a bit reserved but make no mistake, he is a wealth of knowledge. His filing fees have also been fair. One particular anecdote, when we were filing taxes last year (2024), I actually made a mistake in reporting how much estimated taxes I have paid over the year to IRS. Because of this, we miscalculated and were fined $1000 by IRS. Thai was quick enough to give a call to IRS and ask them for a waiver on the penalties since it was our first time, and he was able to get that waived off for us.

Every year she is consistent, professional, and efficient, and I always leave feeling confident that everything was handled properly. It's rare to find someone this reliable and easy to work with.

Since I had only been using TurboTax before, I didn't have much experience in working with professional tax advisors and I contacted Yan after reading some reviews on Google/Yelp. The experience of using her for my CPA was completely different compared to the previous one I had. She was very detailed and meticulous in checking each detail of my situation, and also didn't pretend to know everything - if there was an issue that she wasn't clear about, she didn't hesitate to look up the necessary IRS documentation to make sure that we weren't making any mistakes. Even after our meetings in-person going over documents, she would also follow-up and double-check to make sure that I hadn't inadvertently overlooked something (and she did find a bunch of details that I had filled in incorrectly as well through this process!) She was also more interested in making sure that I understood the process and what each document was for, rather than just taking everything into her own hands and just asking me to "rubber-stamp" documents. I really appreciate her spending the effort to help with my tax literacy. Would definitely recommend Yan if you're looking for a reliable CPA who looks out for your interests, rather than just treating you as yet another client!

He's constantly up to date on the latest and greatest trends in the financial world, has a keen awareness of the market, and provides sound and educated advice for clients in a variety of financial situations. My husband and I got the white glove treatment from Bobby, who comes extremely prepared and organized. He's professional and prompt, while still being able to form personal connections with his customers. When we were in a jam and needed help with estimated payments, Bobby took us on, had our situation planned out in one 30-minute meeting, and managed to get us a refund beyond our expectations. If doing your taxes is as scary as a horror movie and you're looking for an expert to give you a quick and painless experience, you have to go to Bobby!

My first experience was Bobby calling me back (response time 1 day) in late Dec 2017 to give advice on some RSU sales. On that call, he saved me many times his fee in CA tax with a "hey, one more thing" - advice about Trump's SALT credit cancellation. That's been the theme: when you call Bobby and Cheri, they save you money. Bobby has consistently given great advice, and handled my taxes since I outgrew Turbotax. I am the typical tech worker: income, stock options / RSU, some investments and retirement accounts... they are definitely good at that - and probably other stuff as well. I can't recommend them enough.

The negative reviews seem to be similar though not as bad as experiences I have had with the previous 2 accountants. I can say my experience was positive and I found Stephenie responsive and our taxes were filed correctly.

Many clients rave about her professionalism, thoroughness, and reliability over the years. Sadly, my experience was the complete opposite and one of the most frustrating and costly I've ever had with a tax professional. We hired her specifically because of those glowing reviews, but she completely ghosted us throughout the entire process. We sent all requested documents promptly and followed up repeatedly via email, often with no response for weeks. When she did finally reply, it was only with excuse after excuse: she was out of the country, then claimed she never received our documents (despite our delivery confirmations), followed by more vague delays and no progress. She explicitly promised to provide regular updates during the process so we would know where things stood. She never once followed through on that promise. As a result, she did not complete any of the agreed upon work, our tax return was never filed on time, and we were hit with extra IRS penalties and interest that we could have easily avoided with a reliable preparer. Worse, I've seen a troubling pattern in some of her other reviews: when clients raise similar issues about poor communication, delays, or unfinished work, her responses show a clear pattern of lying, downplaying legitimate complaints, making excuses, or outright denying problems instead of owning up to them. Do not trust Sarada Majumder with your taxes or accounting. What appears to be a highly recommended professional based on online reviews can turn into a nightmare of unresponsiveness, broken promises, and financial consequences. This was an expensive and stressful mistake. Save yourself the hassle, penalties, and frustration by choosing someone who actually communicates and delivers on their commitments. I fully expect her to respond to this review with more lies, made up justifications, and rationalizations for her unethical practices, just as she has done with other negative reviews. I will be filing IRS Form 14157 A (Tax Return Preparer Fraud or Misconduct Affidavit) along with Form 14157 to report her misconduct to the IRS Return Preparer Office. This includes her failure to file the return, unresponsiveness, broken promises for updates, provision of false excuses, and causing us direct financial harm through avoidable IRS penalties and interest.

I was already 6 days behind completing them. Melissa -the daughter of the owner- knows how to swindle you especially when you are desperate for help. I was told when I came in to pay $350 up front which they never told me that was just a deposit. To my knowledge it was to perform the work. All the work. And she also had said she could do it in a few days (3). Ok so I paid and I put my credit card down for them to keep. Big mistake. Never leave your card for a vendor to keep! After the 4th day I was wondering what was the hold up. They needed two more ein that Melissa never emailed on. I had to reach out and she finally responded after a day. Then she preceded to tell me since she just gotten the new ein number it would take another 5 business days! After two weeks I was asking when they will be done. I know they were slammed and trying to buy time or charge me for that time. I was right when they finally called that they were ready after 2.5 weeks they said my invoice was $1900!! They processed twenty-eight 1099s for me. I was flabbergasted. I said to the front lady Patty which I am sure she is use to swindling people for the Chan's that I was not told it would be more. She said oh yes sweetie we charge by the hour. When the invoice finally came in there were no hours listed!! It was just a straight preparing and rechecking etc all for $1900. I said I'm not paying. I ended up doing my own 1099 through a phone call with Intuit. How long did it take me less than 2 hours! And I'm a novice with QuickBooks. If I can figure it out anyone can.
