I've recommended their services to all my friends and business associates! Truly impressive work and attention to detail. I was so surprised at how fast the turn-around was and James ability to explain in simple terms what needed to be done on my end. He made the whole process very easy and I feel like I'm in good hands now moving forward with my business ventures. The best! read more

Very Helpful! George is a very nice, professional, and knowledgeable tax guy! He is very straight forward and helps you try to get your hard earned money back. Come here if you want to work with someone nice and professional :) read more

5 star to say the least for James Timar. He saved me sooo much money in comparison to my last accountant (simply because of his vast knowledge of corporate tax code). Money aside though, his communication is top tier. To me, money is secondary to communication and follow up. Fortunately, James provides the best of both worlds. He also has a cool sense of humor, and isn't uptight and moody like most people who stare at numbers all day!! Only complaint is that I didn't link up with him sooner. 100% recommend!

Amazing customer service! From the initial phone call to the emails with James, the customer service is like no other. As a new business owner, i had a lot of questions on how to file for a corporation and James Timar helped me understand the process and put me at ease. With just a few emails he has turned me into a returning customer and I would definitely recommend Ferguson Timar to anyone that has a small business. read more

James Timar has been doing my taxes and my wife's taxes for years. He always does an awesome job and we end up owing less than expected or get more back than expected. We are never disappointed with the job he does for us. I recommend him to everyone that asks me about taxes. read more

It has been a long journey to find the brilliance of James Timar. This has included a fancypants business manager in Beverly Hills, an accountant in West Hollywood, a Business Operations Specialist and three other people we hired in between. Although we are grateful for all of them, they were, um, a collective disaster because of the absence of some very key elements necessary to make a small business thrive and soar. #stresscity And then there was James Timar. From moment one in our first phone call: his intelligence, his gentle explanations of educating you on business infrastructure (that only an incredible accountant would know) and grounded demeanor was an immediate indicator we were already on the right path. He was immediately full of key insights and strategy for us. Working with him (and Neda Rastegari at Orange County Bookkeepers, who brought us to James T) has been nothing short of life changing!! We now know that having a mighty duo of bookkeeper and accountant who are BOTH superstars and who can work *together* on your behalf is the secret sauce to success in owning a business. James Timar has been utterly on the ball, a strong leader and miles beyond in value what our business managers provided. Now mind you--he calls himself an accountant, but he is way more than the typical accountant I have ever known. Most accountants collect your data, ask you a couple perfunctory questions and boom--here is your taxes and your bill. James T was a totally different experience--he is a strategist, an investigator, an advocate, alchemist and architect; he will make sure that you are set up and structured wisely for maximum viability and solvency. This man rolls up his sleeves and really gets in there with you. All year long. You really feel like he is a significant part of your team. He essentially took all of our stress and confusion and transformed it into a working map of solidity and growth. Lastly and most importantly to us, he is a really wonderful human being. Full of humanity, dedication, integrity, patience and very affable. And best of all, we were terrified in seeing how amazing he was that we would have to sell a body part in order to afford him, but he was absolutely cost-effective and exceedingly reasonable. He has made taxes into, dare I say, a beautiful experience. After going through so much to find this man, I can say without hesitation that we will never leave him. He is the best I have ever seen in Southern California and that is based on a wide breadth of experience in business in varying industries. He really cares about his clients and he is so darn good at what he does. The relief and value he has brought us is incalculable! (Ha! See what I did there!) We are so incredibly grateful for his gamechanging guidance. read more

I worked with James Timar this past tax season, and it was by far the most pleasurable experience with an otherwise unpleasurable activity that we all have to go through each year. I've operated my own fitness business in Austin, TX since 2010 and have worked with several different accountants during this time period. James was the most responsive, most dependable, and least frustrating person I've worked with. There were actually no frustrations. It was fantastic. I recommend any sole proprietor or small business to take advantage of James' professional and reliable level of service. read more

I can't stress enough how much we truly love and appreciate working with the CPA's, bookkeepers, and staff at Ferguson Timar. We switched to this company almost five years ago and it has been a blessing. We originally contacted James Timar to assist with taxes from 2 years prior where we had numerous questions and the firm that assisted us did not answer our calls. James not only took the time to review our taxes from that period, he also answered all of my questions and gave me great tips for record keeping and saving time the following year. We have moved both our personal and business bookkeeping and accounting to his firm. They have been easy to communicate, professional, and UBER knowledgeable while also explaining taxes in a language that I can understand. Since we started using this firm, we have referred numerous friends and they have all felt the same way - they are the BEST! If you are looking for someone to review your taxes or just a new CPA altogether - look no further than Ferguson Timar. They are truly a one stop shop. They have our business for life! read more
