3rd year coming back to Daniel for taxes. He's does everything with integrity and prudence. We got a huge tax return and his consultation is very professional. Highly recommend! read more

I called and they were very rude and he talked down to me. I hired another cpa firm in Los Angeles.

This is a long-overdue review for Daniel. He's very kind and gave a great free presentation on tax planning to our minority community in San Diego. While trying to select and invite speakers for our event, I found it hard to find a good presenter for the topic, as most CPAs are limited to tax preparation. Mr. Lu has extensive experience in the field, is insightful, and carries himself well during the presentation. All attendees were impressed and wanted to talk to him more afterwards. We appreciated his time, effort, and vast knowledge on tax planning. read more

Long overdue review for this business! We found Daniel through Yelp after some major changes and needing a little stability in our tax situation. He's done our taxes for two years in a row at this point, and we are so happy with his tax expertise. We found his prices extremely reasonable for our tax situation, especially because we tend to get him documents a little later than we should. He's extremely communicative and responds quickly. I'm so grateful for Daniel's continuous guidance over the past two years. We hope to work with him for quite a while! read more

Very knowledgeable & professional! Mr Lu. Helped my business tremendously! I definitely recommend

Trust worthy, reliable and very kind. The best quality of Daniel is very clear about what he says. You'll get your tax done and so much more. read more

This was my first time getting a business consultation and while being patient, Daniel explained every detail accommodating to my current business situation, making sure I was aware of what I was getting myself into. Definitely gained my trust and looking forward to working with Daniel in the future! read more

My friend and I came here to get our taxes done together. Although I had found Daniel on yelp and saw the high ratings, I was a bit skeptical and didn't get my hopes up too high about the service provided. He ended up exceeding my expectations. My friend and I both left more than satisfied with how the appointment went and we both felt that the communication with Daniel was so easy! I don't regret getting my taxes done with him at all and I definitely recommend going to him for anyone who needs help with their taxes. Thank you so much Daniel :) read more

I own a small business and have been using Daniel for the last 3 tax years. Here's what I like about him, especially compared to my past experience with another CPA. He's both super communicative and available: 1) Although he's very busy (especially in season) he still takes time to sit down and meet with you, review paperwork and advise of any missing material. 2) If you have questions later he either takes the call right away or returns your call very promptly. Same with emails. I can't stress how refreshing this is. From a value and fee/pricing standpoint, he is extremely fair. I can't say enough about how much I have appreciated having Daniel as my CPA professional - outstanding! read more

Daniel was quick to respond to my initial inquiries. We then setup a meeting and he walked me through my tax situation in a clear and understandable manner. I had many questions but he was patient and professional. I felt comfortable moving forward with having Daniel handle my taxes this year, and would return again. read more

Called and was told they were too busy to help me prepare my taxes. And that if I knew someone they would ask the accountant if they will see me? That's nice. You may have time but don't want to see if unless I know someone? I'll just go some where else then. read more

I have been doing my tax with Daniel for 2 years now, and I don't think it can get any better. I've been using TurboTax previously but my tax situation got a bit tricky and need some help from CPA. While other agency rejected or don't know how to handle my tax, Daniel gave me a clear picture of how I should handle my tax. I appreciate that he always explain things really well. Also, I sometime do have some questions regarding tax related decisions. We can have discussion over it that helps a ton for me without any charge. I don't know if he wants me to advertise this though :) Anyway, it's a good feeling to know that if you have any tax related question, you're covered. Highly recommended! read more

I have dealt with several CPAs in the past decade and all of them have been really good. But Daniel is GREAT. They provide full bookkeeping and stellar accounting services. Great in communication. No BS. Really looking forward to grow our business so we can give them MORE business. Highly recommend. read more

Okay so me and my husband made an appointment at this place at 2 o clock this Friday. We called him 5 days prior to this appointment. On the day of our appointment, we got a phone call pass 12 o clock from his office telling us they have to reschedule us to 4 pm because of unknown reasons. We have other plans and it is really unprofessional for them to call less than two hours ahead to notify us. We made it clear we can't make it other than 2 o clock. And somehow his secretary got scared and Daniel picks up the phone. While talking to him he told us direct quote "I don't give anything for free!" I guess what he says on his website free consultation is a scam. When asked about the price, he cannot give us any information or any range. I have never encountered a business this unprofessional! read more

Daniel Lu, CPA - "I don't give anything for free!" Quoted by Daniel on the phone today. His FREE consultation is a scam! - Tax Services Near Me - San Diego, California

Daniel Lu is the man! If you're looking for a trustworthy and honest accountant, Daniel Lu is the one for you! He is detail-oriented and will make sure to maximize your tax return. Daniel was able to fix my 2014 taxes I did it myself on Turbo Tax (Don't recommend it) and got me an extra $400 refund! My 2015 return was done within an hour and the experience was very pleasant! Go see him if you need individual or corporate tax services. He and his staff will take great care of you! read more

I have been Daniel's client for 3 years now. He does both my corporate and personal taxes every year. He's been very knowledgeable and resourceful. When I have questions about taxes and need to make a business decision, he is always my go-to professional! As a certified CPA, he always thinks the best for his client's situation and gives the best advice! What I'm the most impressed about Daniel is that, for the past 3 years, whenever I have questions that are simple, complicated, or trivial, he would take the time to discuss every little piece of detail I should know as a business owner. And he doesn't mind explaining all the details from the very basic to make sure I understand correctly. I recommend him for people who don't have much knowledge about tax and accounting, because you need a CPA that has great patience to guide you through the process. You can rely on him taking care of your book keeping and taxes. He truly cares about how you and your business do and would give you advice that benefits you in the long term. read more

I found Daniel through a recommendation of a friend. Not only that Daniel is extremely knowledgeable in his field, he has the best work ethics of anyone that I personally know. Efficient, prompt, and professional, I cannot ask for more from my tax advisor. Running my own business is already hard enough for me and having Daniel really taken off that load of my shoulder. I usually don't write a review unless I think the service has exceeded my expectation and in this case, it did. I highly recommend Daniel as a CPA. read more

Great accountant, prompt and courteous. Would recommend!

I want to leave a review for Daniel Lu which says a lot, because I really don't ever leave reviews! But I'm dedicated to writing this one because Daniel Lu literally saved me from trying to figure out how to file taxes. I recently started my sole proprietorship and Daniel was so open to giving me a consultation. In this 30-40 minute consult, I learned and understood taxes way more than all my previous hundred of hours scouring the internet on articles on how to file taxes as a sole proprietor. What I really liked about Daniel was his transparency, honesty, and his investment in my business. He already wanted my business to thrive and gave me many words of clarity and encouragement. Not only does he know how to CPA well, he also just wants what's best for you! What more can you ask from a CPA? I can't wait to continue having Daniel as my CPA for the many hopefully thriving years of business to come. Thank you Daniel! read more

Daniel is a very good man and a good CPA. He was recommended to me by my banker when I just started my own business. I'm so glad that I found him!

I would definitely recommend Daniel! read more

Just had my taxes done by Daniel after having used TurboTax for the last 10 years. I will never do taxes on my own again! Appointment scheduling was very easy, he has a team to help with those logistics. He'll let you know what documents to bring, so come prepared! Know that even if you have a professional do your taxes, you still need to put in the work to collect the documents and track certain items if your tax situation applies. Daniel was also nice enough to chat and give some general advice during our session. He's very to the point and has a good perspective on life. Will definitely be back for any tax consultation and definitely next tax season. Appreciate all the help and smooth process. read more

Great CPA to speak with if you have complicated tax matters. Courteous, professional and knowledge.

His website states that Daniel offers a free consultation. I make an appointment for Friday on Tuesday. Two hours before the appointment he calls and tells me that he is busy and would have to reschedule. I just have three or four questions, but Daniel makes himself seem that he is the king of the world and that he cannot answer my questions over the phone. He also tells me that he doesn't offer free consultations, although his website states otherwise. I ask how much he charges and get a response that Daniel's services cost $250/hour. He is a huge douche from minute one. The reason I had an appointment to begin with is that he outright refuses to state his tax preparation fee over the phone . He wouldn't even give a price range. I am more than willing to pay someone for being honest and knowledgeable. Not Daniel. Stay away from this guy. I know this guy will reply and say that I was being rude. read more
