I never even had an opportunity to use Mary's bookkeeping, so I can't speak to her services. My…read moreexperience was in setting up my practice to work with Mary. My first clue was when she quoted me an hourly rate of $75/hour, but then wanted to charge me $350/month without ever having SEEN my books or my needs. She said she's been doing this a "long time" and could "tell" it would be 5-7 hours per month of work. That being said, what if it was 5? Or less than 5? Would I get a refund? No response. But I'm in need, so I still said ok. After dozens of emails back and forth, I provided her with passwords for my business accounts, credit cards, and Quick books portable file. I set her up with everything she needed to start my work. The second clue she gave me was asking me (again) which accounts were which (letting me know she couldn't handle complex law firm accounts). She also asked me repeatedly for things I had previously sent her in the same email string. When I responded to her that everything had been provided she emailed me back immediately and stated, "We have decided we are too busy to handle your books." Period. Mind you, by this time, I have told my current bookkeeper that I'm going with someone new. Oy-Vey! After receiving ALL my client's private information in my QB file, my usernames, passwords, statements, etc. and me firing my other bookkeeper, I'll have to change everything now and there's nothing I can do to retrieve my QB portable file. To say I was disappointed is a complete understatement. She's definitely not as organized as she claims to be. I definitely don't see how she has this many 5 star ratings. ??? UPDATE: just read her reply comment on my post. Takes no responsibility for her role in what happened. Just puts it back on me. Whatever Mary. You can't even be honest that you said you were "too busy". *eye roll*. Clearly I dodged a bullet reading your other 1 star reviews.

I recommend this CPA firm because they are knowledgeable and give great customer service.

Stellar. If I can…read moreonly use one word to define the experience I received, it is stellar. Gill Tax Group (GTG) took me in last minute, thoroughly reviewed my returns after I had a hiccup with TurboTax and discovered that the TurboTax software did not flag the necessity to file in another state.* Had GTG not checked this and had I relied on TurboTax, I would have been subject to a review and possible full audit by not only the California Franchise Tax Board, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, but also the Internal Revenue Service. GTG cares and is very thorough. If they make a commitment to help, they have proven that be true. Trying to get through to TurboTax customer service was a nightmare and nobody understands what I'm asking or trying to do, notwithstanding the technical gliches they have. GTG understood came through and took over immediately and filed expeditiously--and I am very thankful. I cannot recommend this wonderful firm enough to others. * Had I opted for the "audit free protection" offered by TurboTax, it would likely have been denied because it only protects you in the State you file. TurboTax did not recognize that I needed to file a return in another state and therefore I would have l been denied the protection had I went that route if I were to be reviewed and audited. WTG GTG! Thank you for the rescue and peace of mind =)

If you're a business owner looking for consistent, reliable bookkeeping Smart Bean is the partner…read moreyou want on your side. As an accounting and tax advisor, I've worked with a variety of bookkeeping teams over the years, and Smart Bean stands out for their daily reconciliations, flat-fee pricing, and proactive communication. Their team makes it easy to stay on top of your numbers without surprises at month-end. They specialize in helping growing businesses get clean, accurate financials so owners can focus on strategy not spreadsheets. I've referred multiple clients to Smart Bean and they've consistently received organized, timely, and friendly support from their onboarding team through to day-to-day operations. If you're tired of playing catch-up with your books or your current system just isn't giving you clarity, give Smart Bean a call. They've been a game-changer for many of the business owners I work with. Highly recommend, as they are the best bookkeeping team for small businesses.

However, when I went to the addresses listed for Smart Bean on Google and Yelp, I discovered that Smart Bean is not located at either of those addresses (listed below). Something is not right here. BEWARE. 1420 E.

She also apologized for Victor's poor behavior. However, I would still like to see Victor in person and receive an apology from him. I will update if this happens.

Since moving to Los Angeles as a newly minted and trained physician in 2016, I originally had a…read moredifficult time navigating the accountancy and finance-related issues associated with a professional medical corporation (S-Corp). Compounded by W2 income, a couple of small businesses that are all separate differently, my needs (and anxiety) grew over the years. Although I put my time in understanding and preparing everything, previous accountants dropped the ball with communication or missed ends. My wife (who I met in LA :) and has her own proprietorship) and I met Jenny Lau & Bob Topp for our accounting needs in early 2019. We were impressed with Jenny's experience working with medical practices in the area. - Immediately, I appreciated Jenny's straightforward nature when it comes to financial and time quotes for work needed for tax preparation and personal / business filings, including 1096 and 1099. - It was an especially difficult task, considering my numerous spreadsheets and unreconciled ends left from previous CPAs. - Through a friendly and receptive staff (especially Ms/ Kimber Spickert), sensitive information is communicated both ways in a timely fashion. - An encrypted portal is used to manage the uploading/downloading of all forms and supporting material, including signature forms. - All extensions and filings were completed on time!!! Furthermore, Topp & Lau partners with an excellent payroll system (Heartland, associate: Michele Holmes) that has been instrumental in our personal and business transitions to W2 where applicable. As mentioned, the firm is straightforward with costs, utilizing an engagement form and including fees for technology costs and time need for reconciliation of disparate accounts. Their pricing is on par with that of previous CPAs and my understanding of the market in Los Angeles (though their firm in in Orange County). ***However, we were very happy with the work that was completed for our businesses, including both savings and ongoing considerations as we bought a house and have a child on the way! I look forward to seeing how our relationship with Topp & Lau will evolve over the year. Definitely a strong recommend to both individual/families with personal accounting needs, as well as young companies and practices looking to get started off on the right foot!
