Went to Ethans office to see if I can have someone assist me with my taxes. I was greeted by Megan who was bubbly and friendly. I was a little nervous about having people I was unfamiliar with doing my taxes. Ethan was booked and I got an an appointment with Steve. Everything turned out for the best. I would definitely recommend read more

My family and I have been clients of Ethan's for years, he prepared our taxes while he worked in South Boston. When Ethan moved and opened his new office in Malden, we followed him; that's how highly we think of him. Ethan is a true professional and knows every aspect of tax and tax code. Not only is he very good at what he does, he is a really nice guy. You feel right at ease and you know you're in the best of hands.. We could go anywhere but we wouldn't go anywhere else. We're sticking with Ethan, I can't recommend him highly enough, yelpers; he's the best. Thanks,, read more

I used them for 3 years; and each year the customer service dropped. They had my taxes for months, last year and it repeated phone calls and several emails to me to get a response and for them to complete them. Sadly I would not recommend them read more

Can't recommend him enough! I had a fairly specific, straightforward tax question (I needed help estimating my tax payments for the year) so I went to Yelp and emailed a few different highly-rated tax professionals. I got no responses from some and convoluted sales pitches from others. But from Ethan, I got a timely, concise reply with a fair estimate of the cost and an invitation for an appointment. The scheduling was easy and hassle-free -- I even had to change my appointment time the day of because my son was sick, and they were very nice about giving me the only other open slot that day. I especially liked that his office is easy to find and on a main street but kind of no-frills -- it explains why I paid so much less for high-quality answers. I met with him for one hour and paid for one hour, even though he had already looked at the materials I emailed him ahead of time. He also gave me some helpful handouts. Ethan is smart and professional, and he doesn't drone on or give sales pitches or act condescending. He just answers your questions. I have never had my taxes prepared by anyone but me before, but I was so impressed I might go back at tax season. read more

I moved to San Francisco June-2013, and I followed Ethan for this year-2013's tax filing. A lot of changes took place in the year-2013: new job, relocation, school tuition, stock, mortgage, property tax, and most importantly marriage with my husband (thanks to the strike-down of DOMA and CA Prop-8). All of these changes create potential impact and complications on me and my husband's tax filing. Both of us immediately know that we only trust Ethan and want to to go through this process with him again. With no disappointment as always, he smoothly prepared all the paperwork and offered to review my husband's 2012 tax filing with no additional charge to ensure the 100% accuracy. I am truly impressed by Ethan's professionalism and expertise! Ethan's service charge was very reasonable, and I feel obliged to share some of my great experience with everyone in case you have not had any luck finding a capable accountant that you can trust.

I have been going to Ethan for a few years now. Tax season used to be a time of anxiety and worry for me; no longer! I am much calmer knowing that my taxes are done correctly (he found a mistake the first year and got me a huge refund). He is also a nice person, which makes an hour of sitting and talking about finances less painful than it could be! After the appointment this year, I received a folder in the mail with all the completed forms, pre-addressed envelopes with vouchers for the payments I need to make, and a letter clearly outlining exactly what to do. Absolutely wonderful feeling knowing it is all taken care of. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. We were told that our 2018 taxes would be filed on time in April. It is now mid-June and we have no confirmation that they were filed at all. Neither our tax preparer Bob nor the owner Ethan will tell us what is going on. I do not recommend this office. You're better off filing yourself or with another office. read more

I came to Ethan for help a few years ago with a mistake I had made in my previous year's taxes. He figured out right away what I had done wrong and fixed it easily. I work with him every year because he knows exactly what he's doing and makes the process easy. More importantly, he is a SUPER nice person. I never thought I'd look forward to meeting with a tax person but I do! Strongly recommend! read more

My family has gone to Ethan for years and when he moved his business we followed. He was so helpful and knew exactly what he was doing. He made the process quick and easy. Ethan was able to get me way more than I expected on my tax returns which is always a good thing. I would highly recommend him. read more

I can't say how happy and appreciative I am for the services I received. Ethan Sawyer was able to see me right when i called. I had lots of questions and worries regarding filling my taxes and he was able to easily answer, handle, and take care of all of it. He was extremely knowledgeable, and personable. I would highly recommend Ethan Sawyer to anyone who also has immigration related tax service needs. read more

My husband and I worked with Ethan based off of Yelp and other online recommendations. He was friendly and knowledgeable. However he was very unresponsive by email and phone, and I had to drive the whole process. The night before Tax Day he still hadn't sent us the forms to sign. If you are ok with lags between communication and last minute filing Ethan may be fine for you, but we decided to hire a tax professional so that we wouldn't have to worry about timelines and necessary documents for our filing. read more

I can't speak highly enough of Ethan and his team. He has done my taxes for the last 7 years and is courteous, efficient, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. On the few occasions I have sent him ad hoc tax-related questions he replied promptly, going above & beyond to ensure I felt comfortable with his explanation. His front desk staff is also very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend Ethan Sawyer Tax Services without hesitation. read more
