Felt like she was constantly rushing me. Could barely finish my question before she cut me off again. For the amount she charged, you'd expect to have your questions addressed. Several hundreds for a simple return is definitely overpriced. Will never go back. read more

Dee is amazing! My father passed away over a year ago and this was the first year that my mother had to do her taxes on her own. My father always did their taxes by hand so going to a CPA was a new experience for her. Dee was extremely patient with us as we gathered all the paperwork. She was very sensitive towards my mother's emotional state and understood that doing the taxes was a reminder of her loss. We genuinely felt as though Dee was looking out for our best interests. She was honest about everything and explained things to us in terms that were easily understood. We'll be going to her from here on out. She is someone you can trust. read more

I had some questions to ask and wanted to see if they would be the right fit to get my taxes done. I called the office and left a message with all of my contact information. They called me back a few days later and weren't very friendly. They seemed preoccupied and almost annoyed to be talking to me. They barely answered my two questions and then quoted me $180.00 for basic taxes! Right after she stated the price and I started to speak she HUNG UP ON ME! I thought the phone cut out but no she straight up hung up on me. I was going to give them two stars because I did get a call back but the call back was very unprofessional and the half ass conversation was way overpriced. I definitely didn't have them do my taxes, instead I found someone amazing who called me back the next morning and was more than helpful on the phone and in person. Overall this business seems rude and unprofessional. read more

I was looking for a new accountant and decided to work with Dee & Assc., and after a week of going back and forth proving the information I had for filling my tax return I was treated very rudely by Dee and some other gentleman in their office during a second visit for the same return. Tax season is stressful enough! read more

Lacking in professional courtesy. Kept me waiting a week to answer a question I had asked her. She asked me to be patient so she could get me the correct info. After I gave her time, I called again and she informed me she had no time to do research, ask someone else and hung up . What a waste of my valuable time. read more

I've almost always prepared my own taxes, but they got too complicated for me with the addition of my own leased space, retail sales and retirement from my public school teaching. A friend recommended Dee & Associates, which as a bonus is near my home. From my piles and boxes of receipts, my overdue 2009 taxes were efficiently prepared, mistakes amended and all in an extremely timely manner. CPA Dee Madhavpedi also took the time to instruct me in more efficient record-keeping and I'm nearly ready to turn over my 2010 paperwork. Fees are reasonable, and I actually had several occasions to laugh and enjoy myself during the process! read more

I highly recommend Dee to anyone looking for an accountant. She is a CPA and is always up to date on all the new laws about accounting. She is efficient and has been doing this work for many years. She loves it and is very good at it. She helps me make decisions about the best ways to file, as I have my own business, and she makes suggestions for money management and retirement based on my individual situation. I completely trust her ability and recommendations, and feel that I have saved a lot of money by working with her. She is sharp as a razor and is a delight to be around. Makes tax prep not so horrible, because I can just give it to her and know that she is taking care of it. read more

Dee is the best! Hands down. Being a business owner she makes doing taxes fun and easy. She is great to work with and is so sweet. Even though my wife and I only see her pretty much once a year, it always seems like we are visiting family. Highly recommend her services! Don't judge it based on a phone call like some of the other negative reviews. Go in and see her, and you will see how great she is to work with. read more

Dee is a super nice person, very meticulous about her work. Gets everything done fast and accurate. A pleasure to be around.

Dee is simply great! I had struggled with my taxes for years and then decided to go to a CPA. After much agonizing over whom I should go with we picked Dee and have been very happy since. Now she does my entire families taxes. She is reasonable, understands our needs, and is a pleasure to work with. read more

I consider Dee my business partner because she takes such an interest in my family and our situation. She is personable, funny and an expert on all things tax-related. She takes the time to understand our goals and our circumstances, then helps us create a plan that makes sense. We have been a client for several years now, and look forward to working with her for many years to come. read more

Dee and her office are great. Very fast, professional and she makes sure you don't miss anything! I have been going to her so long, I don't know what I would do with out her! read more

I highly recommend Dee & Associates. I have been struggling with finding a CPA to help with preparing my taxes. I finally found Dee. Although she is not located in the city I live in, she is worth the 2 hour drive and then some. I appreciate her taking the time to complete my taxes during my appointment and asking the pertinent questions to ensure my taxes are prepared correctly. My experience in the past with other CPA's, was to drop of my tax documentation and then not here from them for weeks, sometimes the week taxes are due. I can not thank her enough for taking me on as a client. read more

Our taxes have become too complicated for H&R Block and I stopped by here during official office hours to meet them and to ask them some questions out filing quarterly. It was not clear which door was the actual entrance; but I checked each one and all the doors were locked with no sign of anyone there. Dependable? That's the last chance they get to waste my time. read more

We've been going to Dee since she bought the business in Castro Valley. She follows a long line of excellent accountants like Gary Woodruff and Dave Madej at that address, and she continues the path of saving us every year. Gary sold the business to Dave, and Dave really reviewed the person whowould be taking over for him. He made an excellent choice in Dee. She is very professional, and also takes an interest in us as her customers. As owners of a small business, we don't know how she manages to keep us alive every year at tax time, but she does. We highly recommend her without reservation. read more
