Dan Miller, CPA did an incredible job for my wife and I. We had issues filing my wife's State of…read moreCalifornia tax return electronically. I filled it manually and both the Franchise Tax Board and also I got it wrong. Instead of expecting a refund, it appeared that we were going to have to pay $5,000 more. I knew that I needed the help of an accountant. I drove by Dan's practice, BAY CPA's. I went in and met Dan. He is a gentleman. He is professional. He is very competent. He looked at my files and asked for additional details. He told me to leave it with him. I got a wonderful surprise when I went to his office this morning to look at his final work. It was superb and exceeded my highest expectations. Dan had also taken the initiative and faxed all relevant documents to the Franchise Tax Board to make sure that we filed an amended return in a timely manner. Dan exceeded all of our expectations . He is now our accountant for all business and personal matters.

I think H & R Block did a good job in general. I couldn't be happier with the customer service…read more But, here's where I must say that the cost of getting my taxes done here or any of their H & R offices is a rip off. This is the first time using H & R and the prices are not listed as they are billed out. There are many small line items, such as typical very small filing items that they charge for, believe me they add up and get you in the end. In years past, I would use tax-accountants with many years of direct experience and my invoices would be significantly lower. Even with more difficult and lengthy forms, I paid much less. Reconcider doing business with these guys!

Lauree made the process as simple as possible, and I felt that my information was in safe and secure hands. Not only were my taxes done in a very timely manner, but every detail was explained to me so that I felt very included in the whole process, and I even received advice about how to handle some of my financial decisions for the future. I will definitely be bringing my taxes back next year! (I posted this review originally on 2/10/2013 but have since switched Yelp accounts so I'm reposting!)

I had a complicated tax situation in 2025 involving multiple streams of income (1099, W2, 401k…read moreconversion, etc) and though I made quarterly payments, I knew I was going to need an expert to help minimize my tax bill. I learned about EAs from a community whatsapp and went in search of one. After looking for several weeks and reaching out to a few, it was Phuong's rapid response (by email and phone) and his kind demeanor that helped make my decision. Overall, working with Phuong was straightforward. After agreeing on an estimated cost, Phuong invited me to a secure portal to upload all of my documents. Alongside, Phuong provided a checklist to help guide all of the files/info that you should consider uploading. This was very efficient and helped expedite the process. From beginning to end, it took only a few weeks. It would've gone much faster, but I was delayed in uploading documents, so I caused the delay. Alongside, Phuong answered one-off questions as needed and quickly. And I had a lot of questions! But Phuong was always willing to help. The best part? Phuong confirmed I was actually owed a refund. I was stunned. Is there any better result than that? Of course, this means my quarterly payments were on target, but I'm not sure I would've reached the same result on my own. I can't recommend Phuong enough. He was fast, friendly and importantly, secure. I am certain I will be working with Phuong for all of my tax needs moving forward. Thank you Phuong!!

Phuong was a professional throughout the entirety of the process and guided me through calculating and the actual process of paying off quarterly taxes with patience and kindness. He also gave me an estimate of the price before conducting the service and was very transparent. Highly recommend if you are starting your own business!
