Simply the BEST! Incredible experience 3 years in a row with Francisco and his Team. Honest, very knowledgeable yet takes time to get to know his clients and family. Professional, generous and kind are just a start to describe my experience. I highly recommend him and his staff and will trust them with my families financial future for years to come. Thank you Francisco and Team! read more

So Francisco, after many years of business relationship, decided to destroy it with overcharged fees (mentioned over and over) and demeaning attitude (evident in his voicemail transcript below). What he could've said is simply "sorry, we might not be the best use of my time or your money." Arrogant, snobbish and cash oriented. Your firm really need to think how you will survive sustainably in this AI booming world. With your sh**y attitude? read more

This guy's a crook. All smoke and mirrors. He makes you believe everything is great and he is taking his "fair" share.... But taking $500 dollars out of my tax return to pay himself is sketchy as heck. I wouldn't go here. Save your time, your energy, and your money read more

Do not go here. Specially if you're a newbie here in US he will try to talk you out. He overcharge clients with his useless services, might as well use TurboTax. Very bad business practice. At the back of the summary letter of your tax he has the balls to advertise that he pays a 25$ referral fee for his next would be victim. What an effin Scumbag. read more

Francisco Chua Patawaran & Associates - Tax Services Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

This office is a joke. I've been a customer for over 20 years. I showed up to my appointment, waited 20 minutes and another couple came in that were also doing their daughter taxes. They jumped the line right over me. After 20 years this is now how you treat a long time customer. I told the lady at the front desk I was skipped. She walked into the room, walked out and told me I had to wait even though they messed up. I told her if I had to wait they just lost a 20 year customer so I walked out to find another accountant that has a much better office staff. Do yourself a favor DON'T COME HERE!!!! Save your time as they don't care about yours. read more

Francisco is THE most Awesome Accountant EVER! I have been coming to FCP Tax Services for years now! I feel right at home as soon as I step in the door! Perhaps 'cause Francisco works out of a home office attached to his house :) It's the greatest set up though and very welcoming! There is a private parking lot in the rear, comfortable seating, magazines and a flat-screen TV with cable hook up, a wide variety of coffee, tea, soft drinks and water, plus some snacks to pass the short wait time if you come during the height of tax season when he and the staff are working practically around the clock! His family members are also employees and they help out tremendously to greet people as they enter then take their paperwork and start to process all your information before Francisco brings you in for a private meeting to review your situation. All the while telling jokes and just being the nicest guy you can possibly be at a time when he needs to assess what you owe the government or how much you'll be getting back. Francisco came recommended to me years ago and since then I have paid it forward and recommend him to at least one new friend or family member each year since. Everyone agrees he is AWESOME! He actually pays a referral fee if they drop your name, but I would be raving about Francisco and his services regardless!! And no worries if you are not within driving distance (mind you, I drive over 45 minutes to get to him cause he is that great), you can send your tax papers in via mail - he serves all 50 states!! Does YOUR tax accountant sound this cool or more like a snooze-fest?? Yep, just what I thought! Oh - and FCP also does real estate, too!! read more

He charges 500 dollars for a simple tax return. He also, lied on my tax return to get the amount higher and then i was audited. Because of the audit I had to come up with 800 dollars to pay the IRS. If you have a simple tax return (W2s and some stocks) DO NOT go here. read more

In Feb. 2022, I went to Mr. Parawarn to file my 2021 tax returns. Upon entering, I was greeted very nicely from the staff and was told there were a few people ahead of me but that a CPA will be with me shortly. They kindly offered me coffee, tea, and or snacks and were very hospitable. Finally when it was my turn, one of the CPA began to process my paperwork and she was extremely friendly and sweet. Once she took my basic information and processed my tax documents. I finally saw Mr. Francisco Patawaran. He was very friendly and nice and began to review the documents the previous CPA has done. I want to be very clear, the service he provided was excellent and he was very charming and charismatic. Once he finish processing my return, he slyly mention that his fee will be deducted from my return and that everything was done. The man charge me $1500 to file my taxes. I am a single guy with no kids and no real estate. This is the first time I file taxes in NJ with a professional so I trusted his word. When I went to file my taxes this year, my good friend refuse to let me go back to Francisco and I went to another person who only charged me $190. This man completely took advantage of the situation and should be ashamed of himself for charging that excessive amount of money. To those that go to him, make sure you ask questions and don't natively just take his charm at his word. read more

I have been using Francisco's services for over 15 years and have never had an issue. He's super knowledgeable and if I may add, he adds a nice touch of entertainment by making one feel at home with his guitar. Great family which I'm proud to support. read more

Francisco is not only the best of accountants, he's one of the most wonderful, funny, down to earth individuals I've met. Not much to be said other than there is no reason to hesitate using his services. Expect glowing results and just great service from this family owned business. He's helped myself and family members with taxes for a number of years. It's difficult not to rely on his services. Though, I used a different accountant one year, and it was a huge mistake. Never again do I plan to switch after that experience. Expect only the best results when working with Francisco. He also provides realty services which my family has used. It is wonderful, reliable in that regard as well. Working from his home in a very pleasant neighborhood of Wayne, NJ, you can always opt to make an appointment in person or send paperwork via email/mail. His hours are very flexible, working as late as 9-10PM. If looking for reliable tax services, take the stress out of doing on your own and let Francisco handle it. read more

Francisco has been preparing my taxes for 7 years now. He has been the BEST I have used in my 21 years of having my taxes done. His demeanor is inviting, he explains every step of the process, and has been nothing short of a pleasure to sit and speak with on both a personal and professional level. I would, and have recommended him to any one of my friends, family or colleagues. His knowledge speaks for itself and I have never been disappointed. read more

Such a breeze coming to FCP. They make you feel right at home. I know I'm gonna have some good laughs when my family comes to see Francisco. Absolutely wonderful energy! read more

Have been going to FCP for over 20 years and Francisco and his team are the best. Always supportive and always offer good advice.

My parents used Francisco for many years. I've been using H&R block. I did not know about Francisco, but after going to him, I realized how bad H&R was. They charged more, got less money back, and always had problems. I will continue to use Francisco and recommend him to everyone I know! read more

My husband and I have been clients of Francisco's for 12 years. He and staff have been consistently reliable, knowledgeable, and helpful. Without question - the best in the business! read more

I've been dealing with Francisco for years and he never lets me down. Very easy to deal with, very accommodating, and always a great time coming to visit. You'll be in and out, and the whole process is easy and convenient. I will continue to come to FCP tax, as well as recommend to friends and family. read more

Please do not go here. You will regret it, especially with the new/higher deduction. Starting with 2018 the deduction is 12K$, he cannot fraudulently beat this deduction and will lie, steal over 500$ for his services and you WILL receive less than what you would get on turbotax or any legitimate filing. read more

Francisco and his team are the most reliable and reputable tax preparers in the state. I've been using his tax preparation services since I was 16 working a part time job at Toys R Us (I am now 40 something with a family of 5). His honesty and transparency make it easier to understand the complex world of taxes. read more

Not only those he charge super expensive for regular tax filings but, he has a nasty attitude when he wants to. .. would not recommend doing taxes with him, there are cheaper and nicer tax preparers out there. read more

amazing tax agent! takes care of everything! ive been going to him for the past year and my mom has been going to him for years and we are always happy! read more

He's like a crook, I'm a student and for my tax return (the one year I went here) he charged almost half of what I was given. Why would he do that? I went to another person the next year, got pretty much the same amount for my return but the accountant didn't even charge half of what this guy charged me. Don't go to him, he just wants your money read more

I am giving one star because I have to. I was recommended to this accountant by a family member, I have to say I have never met such a rude and unprofessional person in my life. I called a month before my appointment, explaining my tax situation and asking if he could help. I have rental properties &a small business. I was told no problem and given a date. After driving 28miles to see him, again I explained my tax situation and basically told me in the waiting room in front of other clients "I can't do your taxes, it's crunch time right now." When asked why wasn't I informed about this earlier with a phone call or before driving 28miles, all he had to say was "Sorry, I can refund your gas money, I don't have time to stand here and explain it to you". I deal with patients and professionals everyday and I have never met someone like this, didn't even have the decency to take me to his office, He turned me away right in the waiting room in front of other clients. Unless you have very easy taxes, I would suggest going to a real professional accountant to take care of you. read more
