Tax Settlement Center never answers their phone, never called or emailed me back after numerous attempts to reach them. This is all after they took my money for their "services". I called the IRS today and they told me TSC has never contacted them for me. Total scam! I recommend never using this company for any reason at all. They claim to be an A+ member of the BBB, but I can't find them. Try and look them up in the OC BBB. They are not there!

DON'T DO IT. I interviewed many CPA's before choosing Capata. I brought two well-established…read moreS-corps and our personal accounting & taxes to Gary the owner and his team. I met with Gary and Sal and we came up with the fees and started the work. Did I get canceled on or have to wait in the conference room for 15 minutes at times, sure, but that's not why I'm writing this. Once the books were "scrubbed" from the other accountant, the taxes were done. After I received notice that everything was done, I received an email from Gary asking for more money, which took me by surprise since we already worked out pricing. Once I told him I wasn't agreeable to pay more (he should've just told me ahead of time things took longer than expected, although there were never any delays). From that point on it was nothing but unprofessional, rude, and disrespectful attitudes from Gary, Sal & Ana. I tried getting my QuickBooks backup file to avoid paying $800 to have the new firm bring them to date...but Capata is telling me they don't have them. I don't have my own QB software, so were the books even worked on? A chargeback for the amount they charged me for bookkeeping will be next. I speak with a lot of business owners about their frustrations with CPA firms. Do yourself a favor and move on from this nightmare company. **UPDATE** As soon as the reviews went live, we received calls from Managing Partners, Supervisors, and people I never even met at CAPATA. Within 24 hours we had access to our QuickBooks backup files, which is all we wanted in the first place. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE BEEN SLAMMED WITH NEGATIVE REVIEWS FROM CAPATA, BEEN HARRASSED DAILY TO REMOVE OUR NEGATIVE REVIEWS, ETC., If they would've spent a fraction of this time getting my QuickBooks files, we wouldn't be having these issues. Sad.

What a relief !!!…read more Finally found a place to do my bookkeeping, tax returns and provide CFO support. I owe 2 restaurants, a commercial building and have other investments. My old CPA was just not getting it done. Never knowing what I owe until a few days before the deadline and having to scrabble to come up with $80k in 48 hours isn't fun.... but with CAPATA, I feel like I always know where I stand quarterly. Monthly P&Ls, quarterly meetings, tax projections.. it's just feels so good...n when business starts to slip, they alert me instantly and help me get back on track. Ya, they are a bit more $ then other places, but the quality of work shows. I sleep so much better.. and save way more money then the fees I paid. It's been a year now... my partner there is Sal...he and his staff are 5 stars !

Margaret talked us from our proverbial cliff, then painstakingly went through our entire paper trail for 2012 with a fine-toothed comb. She insisted that we not be at the audit (no argument there) while she went to bat for us. Margaret saved us thousands of dollars on our audit, and many hours of stress. I've learned the hard way the importance of an honest CPA that really knows what they're doing.

I feel so GRATEFUL to have found this company!!…read more I came from another accounting firm who under-delivered, didn't communicate, and I felt like I had to manage them. It was such a frustrating experience. Jarus & Co. is an AMAZING company and an ASSET to my company. They are one of the most efficient and organized companies I've ever worked with and they have an incredible system. I always get a monthly report, on time and unprompted. They are ON TOP of the books and take the time to learn about my company expenses. Whenever I have ANY questions they answer, many times walking me through the process with visual screen shots. The payment system is painless and streamlined with a monthly flat rate to my credit card. In short - they take care of EVERYTHING, and its such a huge relief. I could not imagine running my business without Jarus & Co. They truly feel like a partner and just TAKE CARE OF THINGS so I can focus on other parts of my business. I've had such a great experience with them that I actually hired them for a second company that just launched.

If you look up Ryan's experience, you'll see he's worked for PwC, held c-level positions at a startup manufacturing company, and has recently launched his own CPA practice (2+ years) and holds outsourced controller/CFO positions for several of his clients today. Ryan not only helps me with accounting and tax filings for both of my businesses and my personal returns, but he also provides business guidance from a seasoned exec/entrepreneur's perspective. As you can imagine...I've already referred him to many of my friends and business associates!
