The IRS audit which included penalties and interest was substantial . Laura Silva was the accountant I worked with on my case. Laura worked diligently for me communicating with the IRS .

I just received a letter yesterday stating they accepted my provided information and my case is closed . Through this ordeal I was stressed out and Laura was so professional and very certain we would be alright . I want all readers to know this company is very qualified and professional to help resolve outstanding issues you may have with the IRS.

Having moved West from New York several years ago, we now work with Kelli Cox and her team on substantially all of our personal, corporate, LLC, and 501(c)(3) returns; our son also works with Kelli on his own personal returns. Our singular regret in working with Kelli now is that we didn't move our accounting business to her decades ago. Kelli is an accounting wizard and magician, cost-effective, charming and kind. Six thumbs up.

Incompetence and unprofessionalism are taken to a new level. Despite having an appointment in…read moreearly February to prepare my taxes, they had to file an extension. Even though they had not completed my taxes, they sent me a bill and charged late fees although my taxes had yet to be filed. I called several times and sent several messages, none of which I received a response. When I made an appointment, they did not honor the time and when I finally reached a human, I was not connected to my CPA but with an assistant who could not answer my question. And, of course, they never got back to me with an answer to my question. Not cheap, not professional, and grossly incompetent.

I met with Elisa (the owner) to review my past year returns, business details, etc. in order to prepare my 2012 tax returns and to begin handling the accounting of my new business. In any event, I sent her several follow up emails over the course of a few weeks to see what was going on...all with no response. Over the course of a month, I left more messages for her, sent more emails, stopped by her office to find out how she was doing on my returns (she was never there; always at her office in LA) etc...all to no avail. She just simply vanished. After about 6 weeks, Elisa called me back and stated " We're you trying to get in contact with me?". Anyway, needless to say, I already moved on to another accountant. Overall, not a good experience.

I'm so glad I found Bean Counter. The name initially caught my attention (it's clever and memorable!), but the experience is what truly impressed me. I spoke with Kevin for an initial consultation, and he took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly while providing a clear and reasonable fee estimate. He made the onboarding process simple by sending access to their secure client portal for document uploads. We later met in person, and Kevin walked through my return step-by-step, explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand. He asked thoughtful follow-up questions that ultimately resulted in a better outcome on my return. He also shared a bit about his family and background, which made the experience feel personal and comfortable -- something I really value when discussing finances. The office itself is spotless, with ample parking, and conveniently located near several great restaurants if you want to grab a meal before or after your appointment. My completed return was delivered the very next day, and throughout the process Kevin and his team were incredibly responsive -- always replying to emails within 24 hours, often within minutes. Professional, friendly, and highly competent -- I recommend Bean Counter.

I used this CPA/tax service after my spouse passed away and I needed help filing a relatively…read moresimple return. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing due to lack of transparency. At no point before the work was completed was I told what the fee would be. I was not given a quote, estimate, or engagement agreement to sign beforehand. When I came to pick up my return, I was asked to sign paperwork at the front desk to file my taxes, but there was still no discussion of the total cost or breakdown of services. The CPA did not personally explain anything and remained in his office while staff handled the transaction. I was charged $500, which was much higher than expected for a straightforward return. I would have appreciated clear communication about pricing before any work was started so I could make an informed decision. I'm sharing this so others know to ask for a written fee agreement upfront before using this service.
