I had an issue come up with a previous tax return so I came back to Gerardo. He was able to assist me quickly. Yes, he's not great at picking up the phone but making an appointment thru the website and meeting is the most efficient way in getting a response. Thanks Gerardo! For your help over the years. read more

does my taxes both personal and business. He is detailed and has great knowledge. I would reccomend his service to everyone. read more

The owner (go figure!!) never returns your calls. Horrible service - don't waste your time.

I've been going to GR Accounting Services for my family taxes for a few years and always had an outstanding service and experience, Gerardo is very knowledgeable in taxes and filing to maximize returns and gives advice and pointers for taxes. Definitely very happy with the quality work and always look forward to working with the team. Highly recommended! read more

I have been using Gerardo for 5 years now. Communication has always been bad, but I just let it slide because I liked him as a person and he seemed to do a decent job. However, it seems he has disappeared after our last meeting and I was supposed to meet with him this week per our last meeting in November. His phones are not ringing, emails are not being delivered and going unanswered, and the portal that I communicate with him through doesn't seem to be going to him. I have no idea what is going on but this is extremely stressful and more than unprofessional. read more

Charged us over 500 and we ended up having to file everything ourselves.. total rip off. Wouldn't advise this service. Turbo tax is cheaper.

no communication with me or follow-ups with info and it's been over a month of no messages. Was not given a quote for my taxes just a I'll contact you soon with nothing, multiple calls to get in contact with no call backs, I genuinely feel like I'm not valued as a client read more

2023 - My beautiful wife and I have employed more than our share of Accountants, CPA's, or Type A personalities to mitigate our culpability to the IRS's red taped, taxing machine. "Bro, TRRRUST ME... MY guy, he'll get you sorted out proper. Just, keep it between us. I don't want him to get too busy to do my tax returns (accented by a nod, elbow nudge, or a non to sly wink)." Long story short -- FIRED every fricken finger lickin' time. I can't even count how many times we've actually filed amended returns on our own to include things the CPA missed, overlooked or just didn't have time to ask us about. This cat, Gerardo... He's beginning to make me a believer. No - seriously, the thought of trusting someone to do our taxes makes me suspicious and uncomfortable. So, the fact that I'm a card carrying member of the GR Accounting #1 Fan Club will hopefully tell you something. Not that I'm ready to move down to South America and declare him the resurrected embodiment of Master Yoda, while becoming one with the force by sippin' on a pint of dark side roasted, iced CAF flavoured kool-aid. Gerardo is young, he's friendly, he's sharper than the exacto knife sitting in the tool box you never open, he asks a lot of pertinent questions and lets you answer WITHOUT interrupting. That last bit alone should garner him national recognition. GERARDO HAS NICE TEETH. No, I mean he's got Disney prince (or princess) brilliantly blinding, super-glossy, sassy, shiny, white teeth. Plus he's got that sort of boy-ish charm, that's young and idealistic. I mean, we (non accountants) get it: You're a CPA + IT's tax season = YOU went to college for this and YOU (should) know what you're doing, so we should just deal with your 40 something wearing a 20 something's short and super curt skirt of an attitude you're wearing wrong... right? WRONG. IT doesn't mean you know everything. IT certainly doesn't give you some self-appointed, Tricky Dicky impunity, permitting your over-inflated ego's rudely obtuse mannerisms, or excuse your, "I'm super busy and don't have time for this" condescension - YOU eggplant Friday lovin', blood suckin' wombat. Anyways, Gerardo is our Tax Guy until he becomes so widely popular that he joins the jaded gym for unbearably obtuse accountants - hers and hims membership casts based upon head size. Seriously, try him... you will NOT be disappointed. read more

I will not be returning. Doesn't respond to emails or website requests, and he was a no show for our appointment. read more

Initial consult resulted in possibly getting more information and a copy of the proposal/contract. That was on 03/25/24. On 03/27/24, informed GR (Geraldo R) that nothing had been received. Same-day, GR responded with "I'll look into it." It is now 04/24/24 and still no follow up. IF this how his business is "managed" getting new clients, can you even possibly afford for him to manage your account much less your FINANCES?? read more

Many thanks to Mr.Ruiz for preparing my taxes the past couple of years. He has always been super professional and extremely knowledgeable. He is always up to date on the latest tax changes. He has made filing a breeze and the only place I trust with my taxes! The location is convenient and his fee is more than fair. I always take a business card when I leave and it has always lead to someone going to Mr. Ruiz's office to prepare their taxes. I highly recommend GR Accounting Services as your next Tax preparer! Thank you GR Accounting Services! P.S. i love being able to book my appointment directly on their site. read more

He is awesome and he knows his shit . I'm truly thankful I came across him. He was efficient and so professional. He has so much knowledge and any questions you have he definitely has your back and makes sure you under EVERYTHING. He is definitely the person for your taxes and anything else you need GR. Is the man . I found my tax guy read more

Gerardo does not respond to emails or calls, and kept brushing me off and pushing back the date he estimated he would complete the work. Gerardo made mistakes populating tax info from several of my tax forms, and when asked about it blamed the layout of the forms, or anything other than acknowledging that it was his error. Gerardo's prices were reasonable, but next time I'll just do it myself. read more

Gerardo was incredibly thorough and we saved a lot more money than with our previous tax preparer. He will be "our guy" from now on! I highly recommend his services! read more

I owe a special gratitude to the professional, knowledgeable and intelligent staff at GR Accounting Services in particular to Mr. Ruiz for helping me procure a loan that I needed by correcting errors that had been done in my business tax returns. Truly, "The Best Business Tax Preparer in Orange County" and "Top Business Accountants in Orange County", Mr. Ruiz has a remarkable and thorough working knowledge of the tax codes and if I could leave 10 Stars, I wouldn't think twice. I received "Next Day Tax Returns" and "Affordable Business Tax Preparation" at their office which is conveniently located in South Orange County. Highly recommended Personal Tax Services as well as Business Tax Services. Thanks again. read more

Yeah so awsome people person and a perfect fit for exactly what I needed to accomplish so for sure I don't know what I would do without Jeraldo's affordable assistance. read more

I have gone to Gerardo two years now and he has been extremely helpful! Last year when there was a major delay with my return Gerardo went above and beyond to help me figure out a solution. Very nice guy and always willing to answer my 100 questions. read more

Great service. Gerardo was very profesional. Any question I had he answered very honestly. Seems very knowledgeable! I've been going to see him for two years now and will continue to go. Highly recommend! read more

Spoke to Gerardo on the phone and was happy to hear he was able to help me with my taxes! He seemed knowledgeable and easy to work with over the phone. Plus his prices were competitive and reasonable. All I needed was an email to get started. 3 days passed, with a phone call each day and no email from Gerardo. Sent an email, no response. Called again and he picked up on his day off. Said to send him an email so he could forward me the link to start preparing my documents. Again, did not follow through. I had to call again and I asked him if he could actually help me. He said he could and would send me an email right then. Also gave me an estimate to be done with all my taxes by within 3 days. It's been 6 days since and I still am waiting on that email. Overall, I've been playing phone tag for 2 weeks to ultimately realize that he can't help me! Not because he told me, but because I needed to file my taxes and found someone else. I saw other reviews mention a similar experience to my own. My recommendation to the business is to hire additional help with organization, scheduling and follow through. Or to just be honest about not being able to take more clients this season. It would've saved me 2 weeks and a 1 star yelp review. read more

I went there to get my tax return amended. Gerardo was very knowable and friendly he was able to answer my other tax question for the following tax year. I highly recommend his tax services . read more

Second time doing business with Gerardo. After going to a few tax pros over the years, I gotta say- I love doing business with Gerardo. Not only is he friendly and personable, but he knows his stuff, is willing to talk to you and explain things, and goes above and beyond in providing further help and follow up. Definitely found my new tax guy for the future! read more

I had a great experience with Gerardo! This was my first year not using Turbo tax and filing in my own, so it was nice to trust him in filing for me. He responded to my inquiry very quickly and I was in his office within a few days. It was nice to be in and out so quickly and not have to worry about filing on my own. Thank you ! read more

Found my tax guy, Fast and easy! Very knowledgeable and helpful , Will deff come here again!

This was our first time doing business with Gerardo and it was a breeze. He was very friendly, polite, and most importantly knowledgeable! My husband and I had a great experience working with Gerardo. We definitely found our new tax guy! read more

Quick, responsive, informative, saved me more money than turbo even with his fee. Will be using again in the future.

The only person I would trust with doing my taxes! Very knowledgeable, professional and explains the process with every step. He also advises you on what would be best to do for the future tax season. I moved to Menifee and traveled to San Juan Capistrano to do my taxes without question. I recommend him highly to anyone and everyone. read more

100% recommend this company for your tax service needs. Geraldo is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to fully describe each process and answers any questions you have.
