Jim Glanz did my taxes from 1990 until 2019.... And the only reason he isn't still doing them is because I moved out of state! Jim is obviously smart but efficient and spot on when conducting business!!! If you can get in with Glanz it's a smart move! read more

I've been going to Jim for 25+ years. TOP notch, he knows about everything there is to know about tax, tax issues, and tax consequences. Think he's so good, there's a waiting list to get in to see him! read more

Cecile Hinton has been my tax preparer for many years now. She is an honest, hardworking, nice person who is well experienced with tax laws (rules/regulations, etc.,). I look forward to working with her for years to come. read more

I used James "jim" glanz for years until I got audited by the IRS, and jim wouldn't take my calls or answer my emails. I had all my receipts for the year in question, I didn't fear any funny business on my part, so I thought it would go smoothly. I had to go to his office in La Mesa and surprise him. He was definitely surprised when I showed up, offered no reason for hiding from me. I truly trusted James "Jim" Glanz, I paid for his services, including his help in any event of being audited, but he failed me and left me hanging. The IRS is no joke, but unfortunately Glanz Tax Service is. read more

I have been with Jim Glanz for decades. He is the consumate professional with the personal touch. He makes an annual tax event feel like a reunion of friends. His knowledge of tax responsibility and preparation is bar none, to anyone I have utilized prior to and hence. He stays current with all the crazy annual changes that occur to both the State and Federal Tax Codes. If you're looking to move over to someone who has your best interest in mind, then your search should either begin or end here with Glanz Professional Services. read more

I just saw Jim a few days ago to prepare my 2014 tax returns... Our family has been going to Jim for 25 years! Let me tell you. You will not find a more honest, nice, professional, tax preparer who REALLY KNOWS how to prepare you taxes. Jim still does your tax preparation the 'old fashioned way' using a worksheet, and grabbing the figures from the current IRS & FTB tax preparation tables, and using an adding machine to come up with your anticipated returns. All his work is double-checked by the computer, but Jim really knows the formulas and 'how' your earnings, investments, deductions, credits, etc. affect your Fed & State returns. Tax preparation is not something I look forward to each and every year, but when we do them, we couldn't be happier that Jim's the one helping us prepare our returns as we have the utmost confidence in him to complete them for us. Not only that, Jim's rates are very reasonable and I'm sure comparable to what you may pay elsewhere. If you are looking for a really good & honest tax preparer, and Jim has room in his calendar to book you, consider yourself lucky. For some time, I know Jim was only accepting referrals who were family of current clients of his. I believe he may be taking on additional new clients at this time. His office is very close to the Grossmont Center Shopping Mall easily accessed by the SR-125, the I-8, or Fletcher Parkway in La Mesa. If I could give a business a 6-star Yelp Review, Glanz Professional Services would be one of those businesses I would give 6 stars to. read more

Jim Glanz has been preparing our taxes for over 23 years. He is very knowledgeable, professional and takes the time to know his clients. We have moved around the country, but make it a point to continue working with Jim. He has taken the time to know different state's tax laws! We are currently in Arizona and will absolutely continue having our tax preparations done by him. His honesty and trustworthy ethics are beyond reproach. We look forward to many more years with Jim as our Tax Preparations Expert. read more

Jim has been my tax professional for over 40 years. Jim KNOWS his clients and is proactive in his tax planning and strategies he suggests. If you're looking for a "form-filler-outer," Jim is NOT your guy. If you want someone who looks out for your best interests in tax planning, understands your personal situation and is super-efficient AND personable, then you need to give Jim a call. Over the time I've been with Jim, I know he has saved me tens of thousands of dollars by proper tax planning. Thanks Jim! read more

I used Jim to do my taxes for a few years after I bought my house. He'd been doing my sisters taxes for years and she recommended him. Unfortunately I had to switch to a different accountant when I opened a business since he doesn't do business taxes. Otherwise I'd definitely still be using him. He's super sharp. read more

34 years with Jim Glantz who has made taxes a breeze with his expertise. Jim has always known what I can claim and sadly not claim. He is always up to date with the yearly changes in our tax system. Thank you Jim. read more

I have been going to Jim for 35 years. He is knowledgeable and prepared for my appointment, I now know what to submit and how, if I have questions he is always willing to address and suggest. I am in and out on an annual basis in 40 minutes or less. Jim is a good trustworthy guy and a good friend. read more

James was referred to me by a client of mine. I left a couple messages a few days apart, saying I would like to set up a meeting. I was finally contacted, by his secretary I'm assuming, stating that he's not taking on any clients and would I please look for someone else. Now in my business, if I can't take on a client, I give them referral to a colleague, not have a secretary call me and tell me to take my business somewhere else because the other person is too busy. I get it, sometimes our schedule is full, but the fact there was no referral, and the use of a please stop bothering us tone of voice from the message, really left a bad taste in my day. Even if he is a great accountant, first impressions are always the most important. read more

Jim is awesome! Why would you go to and intern at HRBlock when could have one of the top tax accountants around personally work on your taxes? Jim has been doing this a long time and nothing gets passed him, nothing! Our taxes are pretty straight forward but still Jim is able to save us a lot of money every year. It's way easier than me spending the weekend with Tax software trying to figure it all out, with Jim you're done in one hour. read more

Agree with other comment from Brian. Jim is awesome! I have been seeing Jim for about 10 years now. He is always very thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. He and his office staff have great customer service skills which I find to be so rare these days. read more

Jim has been wonderful to me and my husband; preparing our taxes for years, including for my home based business, gives great advice, gets everything done so efficiently and thoroughly and saves us money! I trust him, and highly recommend his services. read more

I don't know what's with this guy. My sister has used him for her taxes for years and this year it seems he is totally flaking out. On at least 4 occasions he promised her information by a specific date (beginning last April 2014) and didn't meet the deadlines and did not communicate to her about it. She has had to call him each time and he had various excuses (he went on vacation, etc). Most recently she has called and left messages with a person answering the phone as well as voicemail and he isn't returning calls. At one point his voice mail was totally full and wouldn't even accept messages. He has all of my sister's 2013 tax info as well as what we sisters (who live in different cities) need for our taxes for 2013 as well. I am shocked at his totally unprofessional behavior. This type of sudden change in professionalism is usually a sign of other issues going on in life where a person starts justifying, blaming, avoiding. NOT GOOD! read more
