I had a great experience working with Alex. He is extremely knowledgeable -- and dare I say…read morepassionate?? -- about the intricacies of the tax code! He is professional, has excellent follow-through, and goes above and beyond to help his clients better understand their financial situations. A bit about the process: We started with a free, 15-minute consultation to determine whether Alex could help me. During this call, he gave me an estimate of how long it would take him to address my situation at his hourly rate of $325. Before Alex began work on my issue, I paid half of the upper end of the estimate upfront and Docu-signed an engagement letter. Alex took his time collecting all of my pertinent financial details and kept me apprised of the projected timeline throughout the process. We concluded with a scheduled call where Alex presented me with a very organized, well-thought-out PDF showing potential outcomes considering different variables. He spent an hour and 15 minutes patiently going over the PDF with me and answering every question I could come up with at the time. Since our scheduled call, Alex has remained available via email and phone for further inquiries. He is always friendly and eager to help. And when he can't come up with an answer or explanation on the spot, he researches it and follows up with what he's found. Highly recommended!

I found Alex through his YouTube channel and I couldn't be more grateful. He's patient, reliable,…read moreand incredibly knowledgeable! It's true. The first year you file taxes for your business in California and on a federal level, it seems like everyone is out to get you! It can be incredibly daunting to not only differentiate tax liability, but avoid misfilings, fees, and things you aren't even aware of. That's when I realized a faceless entity like h&r block wouldn't cut it for me. I needed someone personable, reliable, but most importantly have the knowledge tailor-fit to my situation. Not only was Alex super knowledgeable about the details, but he was always there for me. If I had a question or concern, I never felt abandoned through the process. I think it's because he's so organized, since he was always extremely communicative and never let me down. Well-versed in his various specialties, I've never met anyone so sharp and on top of things. Overall, I'd recommend him to anyone and I'll definitely be referring friends.

In previous years our tax appointments with our previous accountant would take hours and sometime multiple visits. Alec got both of ours completed in under 1 hour!!!

We might have been able to do the whole filing virtually, however we like the opportunity to meet in person and ask questions.

Chris took the time to really understand my situation, and not only was he able to get me a refund this year, he also helped review my prior returns and file amendments on past taxes to get back even more money. They may charge a bit more than some tax professionals, but when you consider how much they're able to save (and recover), it more than pays for itself. Thanks Chris!

Having worked with other tax professionals in previous years, I can honestly say that level of transparency is hard to come by.

I'm leaving this tax season feeling much more confident going into next year thanks to him. I'll definitely be filing with Joel again next year and every year going forward. Such a great experience overall, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and supportive when it comes to taxes!

I am extremely upset about the service and quality of Joel and his team. We really wanted to like…read morehim-- he was referred to us for his cost segregation experience and we had a good first meeting. However, as we got closer to April 15 I got minimal communications from him. Then on 8pm on Tax Filing day itself, he texted that it would be late at night that he finished, then he texted saying he didn't finish and would file for an extension. Strike 1. Then I had to follow up April 20 since I hadn't heard anything and then over the next 2-3 weeks it was back and forth of reviewing his draft submissions and there was constantly inaccurate information, missing information, and overall poor attention to detail (he even missed including my 3 children as dependents). I was QCing accounting mistakes of my own CPA! Strike 2. I had to keep revising his drafts because his initially had us owing over 5-figures which was more than last year. I had to remind him then of how to approach the tax strategies that our family put in place. What I am even paying you for?! Strike 3. Then I had to still follow up with him when the final submission was going to be submitted (over a month late) and only then did he actual submit it, but I never even got a copy of the submitted paperwork (still waiting for it). Strike 4/5/6/ Needs to be thrown out of the game. I don't recommend at all and it's unfortunate since he seemed to do well with others, but not with us. Maybe he couldn't handle the complexity of our W2s and investments but never will I work with him again.

Over those four years, I cycled through multiple accountants and always came out the other side feeling confused, second-guessing whether things were done right, and honestly more stressed than when I started.

He was incredibly responsive over email and detailed in outlining the benefits he provides to clients. I love that he has a secured file portal to keep all sensitive documents private and offers quarterly calls after tax filing is complete throughout the calendar year (this is included in the flat rate for filing). He not only helped me with my taxes, he also flagged that I needed past returns amended for minor corrections and laid out the options for me so I could make the most informed decision. He said that he could reconstruct the returns for a larger, additional fee - but that he recommended that I reach out to my previous tax preparer to amend the returns as that would be more practical and at a much lower (or potentially no cost). As a bonus, he even offered to be on the email thread to help clarify if they had any tax related questions while completing the amendments - which was incredibly kind and helpful :) I really appreciate that he presented me with options and helped make sure I had the most information before proceeding - looking forward to continuing to work with him for my tax needs!
