From day one, she came in and got everything completely organized, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. Niki is incredibly knowledgeable and always stays on top of what needs to be done. She doesn't just handle the numbers--she actually guides you, keeps you informed, and makes sure you're always a step ahead. She takes care of my business and makes sure I'm always compliant, which gives me a ton of peace of mind. Anytime I have questions, she's quick to respond and explains everything in a way that's easy to understand. What I appreciate most is how much easier she's made my life.

She knows her stuff inside and out and somehow always has the answer to every question I throw at her. She makes business numbers and taxes way less scary and is genuinely someone you can trust (which is huge). Her team is also amazing, they are super kind, helpful, and on top of everything. I recommend her to everyone I know because I know they'll be taken care of. If you're looking for a tax pro who actually has your back, stop searching - this is your person!

I was told they do not want to simply do my tax return, they are looking for a much bigger client that owns their own business or is a big baller.

I found Jacobs & Jacobs after an online search of local accountants in Thousand Oaks. They had good…read morereviews so I decided to set up a consultation. They set up a phone call with Massimo to help me out with a financial issue related to stock options from my former employer. Massimo has always been an utmost professional - he has listened to all of my concerns, always offering honest and helpful advice. We were able to get my issues with the IRS sorted and we have come back since to continue filing our taxes with him. There was even a follow up bill related to the same issue mentioned before, and Massimo was able to spot an error the IRS made, cutting our amount owed in half! A couple quick notes: I was not paid for, nor did I receive any kind of discount in exchange for this review. I'm a real human and this is actually my firsthand experience! I say this because all these reviews start to sound the same and generally fake over time, but I am an actual real person! While Massimo did politely request I write a review, I was more than happy to (of my own volition), since he has been such a great resource. I'm glad to help more people learn of his excellent services!

Our Returns consist of Individual, Trust and S-Corp, and the Rosson CPA group has integrated our tax planning needs optimally. The team has always been available to us. In the past year, both Rosson CPA and our family have experienced changes. In our case, an unexpected loss of a family member presented painful challenges. The Rosson / Privity CPA team stepped up and provided immediate understanding, lead our required transitions and effectively implemented the resulting tax returns for 2025 and 2026. The initiative, kindness, and empathy extended to our family gave us great comfort and confidence in the team and the outcome of our tax returns. We remain confident that the Privity CPAs John and Stephanie will lead their acquisition at the same optimal level of service and friendliness we are accustomed.

We decided to move onto a new firm this year and now a year later they keep sending us bills - for the questions they answered for us (during the time when we were clients) and an extension they filed for us (when we were clients). We ended up paying them but we would NEVER use them again. NEVER.
