Tax season is a miserable time of year for most people but when we walk into the office with Troy he makes it clear and effortless. I cannot recommend this company enough and a big shout out to Troy, after all of these years I can't believe it took us this long to pop up a review for a service that has been so advantageous to our businesses and lives.

Confused and worried, we noticed there were some receipts that could be used for extra deductions. Troy said we don't want to add those receipts in because he would have to charge us more and maybe next time I should have all my paperwork together before trying to file. On top of all this, him and his staff addressed us on email by our last name like we were some military buddies. I told him he can call me by my first name or if he has to address me by my last name he could have at least said Mr..... you would think after having a client since 2016 they would know what your name is.

So they did my taxes and did them accurately. I'm not so sure that they saved me any money, but…read morethey didn't cost me any extra either. The problem came when the IRS did not post my final payment. I received a bill from the IRS saying that I owed them over $2000. I sent the letter and the proof of payment to them and asked them what happened? They told me that I had to call the IRS to find out why they didn't post my payment. I even reverified that they were not going to make that call for me. My taxes are complicated, and I have had a CPA prepare my taxes and electronically file them every year for the past 30 years. Things like this don't happen often, but when they do THE CPA IS THE ONE WHO CALLS THE IRS ON MY BEHALF!! If there were an error on the preparation of the document, then I would have been at a loss to explain it. I ended up waiting on the phone for 4 hours and was able to get it straightened out myself. However, I am now looking for another accounting firm because this is not the level of service I require. At the same time, as I said, they prepared my taxes accurately, so I don't think it's fair to give them just one star. I'm not sure I would recommend them though, just based upon the fact that they aren't going to help you if anything goes wrong.

A couple years ago I got the kind of scary mail from the IRS you never want to see, and it's…read morebecause of a straightforward W-2 mistake David made on my income tax return. He still won't pay me back for it. The facts: - In 2021 I got a decent-sized raise at my job. (Brag?) When it came time to file my 2021 taxes, David accidentally COPY AND PASTED the much lower income from the previous year, 2020. So he underreported my income by a lot. Of course he had my accurate 2021 W-2 -- but he was too disorganized, rushed or careless to use it. - Not only that, he copy and pasted some *unemployment income* from 2020 into my 2021 return, so -- to add insult to injury -- not only did he massively under-report my salary, he also slightly over-reported it with non-existent unemployment income. - I ended up owing almost $10K in back taxes, interest, and an extra-high penalty. - After I paid the back taxes, he tried to help with appealing the penalty. But he did this by sending the IRS a half-hearted ashy letter about numbers that were "entered incorrectly" and he didn't specifically request or argue for an abatement in the penalty. - (I also paid a ridiculous amount of interest.) - Unsurprisingly the IRS rejected this attempt and ruled that the penalty must be paid. - It's around this time that communication with David York became especially spotty, where he said he'll call the IRS...but then he fell off the map and it took weeks to hear back from him. - I paid the penalty by the deadline. - He called the IRS (after the deadline lol) then emailed me claiming that the "the penalty and interest have been removed" and I'm like...wtf are you talking about. That's probably because of what I paid already?? - I've asked him to reimburse me just for some of penalties and interest, $1,852.68 -- which doesn't even include an earlier interest payment or state penalties that his mistake bubbled up. Gave him an address to send a check. But he hasn't. It's been radio silence from David York. - "You should hear back from me by Monday" is the last thing he wrote to me, back in January 2025, words to echo on into the void forever. - Silver lining though, I recently learned Rihanna's accountant also owes her money so now I have something in common with Rihanna. Read the one-star reviews. They'll save you a lot of time and $$$$$ in the future. (Oh, and side note not related to this income tax fiasco -- on a return for my S Corp at the time, he didn't even provide us the full return, just an authorization page that was missing Form 1120-S and the K1, so we were scrambling the following year looking for it.) I also noticed his business has a second profile on yelp, which might help him get around these one-stars. You should choose literally anyone else to do your taxes.

Scheduling was a breeze, I received a link to upload my documents, we had a call to review where he made his suggestions and we agreed to a plan and a price. By the next day he was finished and ready to submit my e-file. The best part was he saved me a huge amount of money (clearly this is my own situation and won't happen for everyone!) He was responsive and very knowledgeable. I'm happy I found him. I plan to hire him to do my taxes for next year also. Thanks David!!

I've been a client of David's for the past 7 years (since I moved to North County). Originally, his…read moreoffice was located in Carlsbad but he later relocated to Poway and I still make the trek out to see him from Oceanside. Why? He's the most knowledgeable tax accountant I've worked with. He sincerely does try to get me the best refund possible... and every year, he doesn't fail to impress me. Not only do I see more return value than with any other tax preparer but I learn about how the changing laws affect me, write-offs I missed, and future tax saving ideas. Having a former federal auditor prepare your taxes is honestly the best way to go. David started filing my taxes as an individual and now files for both hubby and I. I honestly haven't been able to find anyone with the same qualifications and experience as David. As a disclaimer, I will say, David's skills are in high demand and keeps him very busy. I usually schedule my tax prep as soon as I get my W-2s and have all my paperwork sent to him well in advance. I realize some people wish to have their taxes/tax experience expedited but patience must be appreciated for quality service. If you're a new prospective client, my recommendation would be to email/contact a few tax preparers (rather than wait on one) since he has a high clientele or, if able, either contact David before tax season starts to get started. Finding a good tax preparer can be frustrating, but I believe investing time in someone you trust is worthwhile. Best of luck to everyone and may you get the maximum refund possible!

If there was an option to give this unethical company zero stars, I would have done so - it was…read morethat bad of experience. I have never experienced anything so terrible before. It was the worst $500 ever spent. David will take weeks to get back to you, if he ever does at all. Saying this experience was disappointing is a vast understatement. We selected Rundlett last year around this time because we had purchased a home in 2015 and need some extra help with our taxes. Rundlett had a 4 or 5-star rating at the time, and great reviews, so we went with them. We should have gotten the hint when they took a week to respond to our first email, and we had to contact them multiple times to get a response, but we thought it was tax season, so we'd give them a break. Eventually, they gave us a list of items to bring into the office and we had an appointment with David & Matthew, one of David's associates. After that they told us that he would call us in a two weeks to set up another appointment to review the outcome. Two weeks came and went - no call, no email, no communications whatsoever. We had to call and email again, multiple times to get David and Matthew to finally respond. We finally got an appointment with them one week before taxes were due, and we went over our options. When we met with them, they highly recommended that we file an extension because they want to try to save us more money. We owed a lot on our taxes, so we decided it was the best thing to do. When we agreed to the extension, we thought that meant a few extra weeks - so May instead of April. However weeks went by without any communication from them - no status of our taxes, no email telling us an expected date, nothing. We had never been through this process before, as we told them, and the lack of communication was astounding. I called, emailed and texted for weeks until I finally got an answer. And the answer was that we had until October, so "don't worry, there is no rush". We did not want to wait until October just because we had until October, we just wanted to get them submitted and move on -- so I had to convince them to finish my taxes. By the time all of this back and forth happened, it was mid-June until we could submit these and finally be done with this completely unprofessional company. Unfortunately, it didn't end there. In August, we got a statement from the IRS that we still owed money from our taxes and that we had a penalty on our account because we filed our taxes late and had never filed an extension. How is that possible? ... Well, other than the fact that David is completely incompetent and shouldn't touch anyone's taxes, he also claimed to file our extension, but couldn't seem to find our paperwork or proof that the extension was ever filed. I had multiple emails asking him to send a copy of the extension paperwork and a mail receipt for my records, and never did produce the documents. His assistant mailed me a copy of a receipt a month before we even met with them to stop me from bothering them, but I called them out on it and never did get anything for my records. On top of that, David failed to tell us that when you file for an extension, the money you owe accrues interest and you have to calculate that and pay that to the IRS when you pay for your taxes. It was a minimal amount (under $50), but for us it was the point. Again, he is the expert and failed to tell us this important detail. I called, emailed, texted them multiple times again and it took over two weeks, until the day before the payment was due, to get a response. I had to tell one of their associates that it was an emergency to get a call back. David and Matthew finally got back to me and said they were calling the IRS to ensure we didn't have a penalty on our account and promised that wasn't the case and there was a mistake. A week later, I had heard not a peep from them. Again, I called, text, emailed and tried to get in touch with no response. I had to call the IRS myself and wait on the line more than one hour to talk to someone to find out that there was a penalty on our account, but because I called and explained what happened, they removed it and confirmed they had accepted the payment. If you are looking for a professional company to complete your taxes in a timely manner, and communicate with you as any normal business would do, then you've come to the wrong place. You will do yourself a disservice by using them. Stay away, stay far away.
