Working with Peter Chu at CTB has been an exceptional experience. Transitioning from one tax…read moreprofessional to another can sometimes feel uncertain, but Peter made the entire process seamless from start to finish. He took what I thought would be some of the more challenging pieces -- like the sale of one of our rental properties and making sure everything was handled correctly within our partnership. He made it all feel straightforward and manageable. What really stood out was not just the execution, but the thoughtful, relevant advice he provided along the way. His guidance gave me clarity on decisions and confidence that everything was being handled the right way. Overall, it was an incredibly easy and efficient experience, and I truly appreciate the level of care, responsiveness, professionalism, and expertise Peter brought to the table.

I hired this firm to help me with corporate and personal income tax. I did file late…read more Unfortunately he did not automatically apply for extensions as my previous CPA did resulting in large penalties. He also didn't appeal the penalties. While I had established an s corp to help reduce my taxable income, he didn't achieve that or find any deductions I can see as my previous accountants did. After paying a very large tax bill and then later thousands in penalties the irs wanted to review the entire tax year he prepared, As well as set up a payment plan for still more funds for some unknown reason . Mr Ha refused to do this so I'm spending hours on the phone trying to reach the irs to find out what's gone wrong. I thought tax preparers were required to defend their work because they always have previously I don't think any of this is criminal or reaches the level of malpractice, but it's certainly the worst outcome and service I've encountered from a tax preparer in my life

It was our first time going somewhere besides a major chain so we were unsure about the process. It was extremely simple to upload our documents to the online tax portal.

We definitely plan to return to Vincent again next year.

We have used EDH tax solutions last year with no issues.

Now it's August and we still have not received our tax return.

Called in for an appointment for trust in January 2026. Received information over the phone and…read morepricing and then an emails with the fees discussed and a link to pay. Paid a fee for consultation and made an appointment in March. Was provided an email with the break down of fees. March Friday - Consultation went well, we were told an email will be sent with questionnaire form to complete and instructions to pay along with a link to upload documents. Tuesday - the next week- I called and asked I only received an email with a link to pay. No drop down, no amount, no questionnaire form. The person on the phone stated I need to choose from a drop down. I was shocked- because there was no drop down, just a blank space to type in the amount. They were not familiar with there one pay system. The person stated payment in full is required in order to get a link to upload documents and the questionnaire form. This was never mentioned in the consultation or in the email. In addition, first email I received has one set of pricing and the email I received after the consultation increase by $350.00 When I forwarded the original email and asked if they will be honoring the original quoted price. There response was "The Fiduciary Tax Return reservation fee for our early bird engagement bookings " So - NO they are not honoring No mention in the email about early bird or price only good for 30 days- nothing. This is what got me- In addition they stated this word for word copied from email. "I checked our availability with the team and was informed that we are currently full and not accepting any new fiduciary engagements until further notice. Unfortunately, this means that we cannot take on your engagement at this time but we can add you to our wait list upon your request. I have already initiated the refund for your New Client Consultation fee of $62.50 so you should see it post to your credit card within a few days." So I was dropped - on Friday they stated they have room. Very interesting. Needless to say, this left me in a challenging situation- trying to find an accountant on a short notice to file my taxes. I don't do reviews very often as I understand things happen and I grew up with a Family business , but 2 weeks later I am still struggling to find an accountant.

Kevin is the very best! After years of going to H&R Block and other local CPAs with more than just…read morea W2 (owned my own businesses, worked as a freelancer, etc.) I went to Kevin in hopes that he could help demystify my tax situation. He did that in more. For the past 5 years or so, filing taxes have been seamless regardless of the complexities on my side. Kevin has found a great balance between implementing systems that speed up the process (like their document management platform) and giving a personal touch to helping you fully understand your tax situation. This year, I came to Kevin with a corporate return for a C-Corp that I started, and he handled it with more speed and care than a prestigious SF based firm I used in previous years. His prices were far more reasonable as well!

Communication was virtually nonexistent.

Not once did anyone contact us with questions, explanations, or comments throughout the process. The end result was that we paid more in taxes this year than we have in the previous 35 years combined. If you prefer no communication and want to feel like just another file number, this may be the firm for you. However, if you expect responsiveness, guidance, or even basic interaction, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Keep in mind that any conversation with a staff member will cost you $350 per hour, even for something as simple as correcting a misspelled name , with billing applied accordingly.

I tried working with my usual online tax filing company, but they were not able to help me! After searching online for several days I discovered PARAMOUNT TAX RELIEF, and they LITERALLY live up to their name! From the moment I walked in the door for my appt. I felt a sense of relief. I was worried I was going to ask the wonderful man Imran at the desk too many questions, but they were more than happy to help me with ANY question and made things go so smoothly! Then Faith called me back and was able to see what needed to be taken care of and everything was seen what needed to be seen, and she was so kind and excellent about everything! She helped me to feel 100% better and gained a customer for life! I tried to finish the rest of my taxes in the waiting room but was having issues with my phone with Covered Ca. That turned into another dilemma for me which they ALSO resolved after having repeated failure downloading the Covered Ca info. All in all, they are truly PARAMOUNT WITH DOING YOUR TAXES, AND TRULY GIVE YOU THE BEST SENSE OF RELIEF KNOWING THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THE IRS! THANK YOU AGAIN!
