I found Gerstain on Google and went with them because they were close by my house and I had an…read moreinitial positive conversation with their team. Unfortunately, I had a very negative experience with them once I signed on for them to do my taxes. They made a total of 5 errors on both my personal and business returns, costing me $3,000+ that I didn't think I would have to pay. They were constantly trying to get me off the phone when I asked them to explain things to me, and didn't want to spend the time to walk through what they needed and what the return entailed -- which would have prevented some of the errors they made. Overall, customer service as abysmal and they made carless errors (like not including my w2 income on my business return), which ultimately cost me thousands of dollars. DO NOT USE THEM!

I had not understood that Gerstein's is now offering more services like consultations on retirement distribution, which is well worth it. Thankfully, they reviewed my taxes, made some great suggestions, and I will be staying with them in the future. They are extremely easy to work with and understand customer service as well as they understand the complexities of taxes. The fact they are offering more customer service and important pre-tax season consultations (so you know what to plan for) is great news.

I took the rest of the day off and brought all my new LLC paperwork down to this joker to try to get my new business on the level. He looked at everything I had and got flustered and asked me to leave. I asked why he wouldn't help me and he say,"I can't help you." No explanation. He sat there is silence and waited for me to leave and escorted me out. I felt like a criminal. What a horrible negative thing waste of my time. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!! He doesn't want to help you unless you have everything organized so he doesn't have to do any extra work To actually help his fellow man. Infuriating. I came to the guy for help, for guidance, and to teach me how to do things the right way and instead he made me feel like I was some kind of felon. If there was less than a star I would give it.

Tax expertise at its best! Back in 2025, I desperately needed to find a certified public accountant…read more(CPA) to handle my taxes. I had a sensitive and unique issue that could only be addressed by a CPA. But not just any CPA, I needed someone that was knowledgeable and would be able to defend their work in case of an audit. After searching around, I came across Ahad & Co and what a relief and blessing they are. I simply called them, explained my issue, then I was connected with one of their professionals. The CPA confirmed that it was something they could tackle and we began the process. At the time, I was working with Tarikur, an absolute treasure to work with! He explained what needed to be done, asked all pertinent questions, and guided me thru the process. In the end, I came back with an awesome refund, and greater than that, I had a peace of mind with regard to my situation. Fast forward to 2026, I did not hesitate to have them prepare my taxes again. Unfortunately, Tarikur is no longer there, but I was assisted by Akram. There were some delays but he completed my taxes before the deadline and his did a great job preparing everything. I found it very easy to review my return and understand his rationale for his preparation. Furthermore, I received a great return again and I could not be more pleased! Aside from my experience with the staff, I really appreciate their customer portal. There is no need to email anything because you can upload all of your documents to their secure portal. You can also chat with your rep, pay your invoices, and download your returns, all in one place. I especially appreciated that as a returning customer, all my documents were there, so Akram was able to see what was done last year. Super efficient! In terms of pricing, they will seem high if you are used to doing your own taxes or maybe you've gone to a local tax preparer. However, it's important to understand that these are true tax experts who can navigate any situation, so you're in good hands. If you are dealing with a sensitive tax situation and want a peace of mind, I highly recommend using them. I will definitely be returning in the future, even if I do not have a sensitive situation, as I truly appreciate their service. Thank you Ahad & Co.!

I filed on the deadline last year and ahad&co, cpa literally…read morenever filed my taxes. Just didn't file them at all. I reached out to them months later inquiring about the filing for another matter and they casually informed me they never filed them. They offered plenty of excuses, blamed me for filing them within the legal submission parameters (i.e. on/by April 15th), and offered zero compensation for their egregious error. They actually proceeded to charge me the full amount to file and even expected me to pay the late-filing & extension fees that I incurred as a direct and sole result of an accounting firm's inability to file taxes! Every single representative I have dealt with is allergic to accountability and deals exclusively in excuses. Shameful and unprofessional behavior all around... especially from Edderkys Gonzalez and the ceo, Ahad Ali. He is full of excuses all while admitting they screwed up. They offered $100 off of preparation service for this year...I immediately declined. Then they offered $200 off and I immediately declined. That is a fraction of what they cost me already from last year in late penalties alone and the ceo told me the absolute most he could discount tax preparation at his own company was $200. Clearly a lie. He's the ceo of a small, private, company...not the ceo of Goldman Sachs.

Liked that she had an office near me on Steinway, and many positive reviews. Turns out, I never needed to go to her office, as she scheduled a Zoom meeting with me. I shared my documents with her via a cloud link, which she went through with me. Boy was she fast! I almost couldn't keep up with her. Clearly she knew what she was doing. She had me gather some more numbers to add to my deduction - details I hadn't even thought about, so I appreciate her thoroughness. Anyway, everything was done and filed in just a few days. I highly recommend her. One thing to note: during the busy tax season, she isn't the quickest to respond to emails. Texting directly to her phone is the way to go.
