Glenn E. Assisted me with my taxes for 2019, he is excellent!!! Thorough, neat, knowledgeable, timely, accommodating, and personable! I would definitely recommend their services, especially Glenn! read more

Im usually picky and particular on who does my taxes and how professional a company is, but may I just express how amazed I am on how much Ronald helped me today. From the moment I walked in, he greeted me with a smile and was full of a positive energy during the appointment. I highly recommend booking an appt. with Ronald because he is assiduous and honest with any questions or concerns you have with your taxes. Thanks again Ronald! read more

Moses did an awesome job on my taxes! He made me feel very comfortable and explained things in a way that was easy for me to understand. This is my second year with him and I will keep coming back!! read more

Ray is the greatest! I trust this man with everything! Tax season gives me so much anxiety to the point where I can't even sleep at night! Ray puts me at ease and gives me as many breaks that he can and gives me the best advice always! He so patient and I truly believe that he cares about all of his clients! He even took the time to go through the IRS website with me, and teaching me a little about reading my tax forms! I tell everyone that I trust ray and I'm so glad that I found him! read more

I've worked with Ray and this office for many years, and we're always impressed by their work! His team is responsive, knowledgeable, professional - but also friendly. If you have a question or a problem they're always happy to help you with an answer. Filing my taxes is always painless, with everything being completed via email and electronic signature was the most stress-free experience I've had. I highly recommend you reach out to them for tax filing, and any other tax-related questions! You won't be disappointed. read more

I just had my taxes completed here over the weekend. This place was formerly 'Roni Deutch Pasadena Tax Center' and is now H&R Block. The ownership and team is the same, just a change in branding. Same hassle free service as last year! I just brought all my tax stuff and let them figure it out for me. I mentioned the Yelp review and they matched last year's pricing! Great people and great service. Highly recommended! read more

(this is an h&r block during tax season) USE AN ONLINE TAX SOFTWARE. SAME AMOUNT OF PERSONABLE SERVICE. MUCH CHEAPER. I walked in to ask how much it would cost to file my taxes. Front desk young lady quoted me about $80 after i had explained to her all the forms I had, and the issue I was having. When I came in, I explained to the preparer that I have always used turbotax to file my taxes, but since I owed alot of money this year, I wanted a person to look over them and answer my questions. After typing in everything into the software, he got the same result as turbo tax. i had plenty of questions. The answer to all my questions was "WELL, YOU GOT PENALIZED. THATS JUST THE WAY IT GOES, SORRY." no tax rate explained. no tax brackets explained. no penalties explained. i asked for specific amounts of what i owed, and no answer. i asked in about 20 different ways for answers to my questions. received none. should have filled in the blanks myself with turbo tax. he was more of a data entry employee than an actual tax "expert" like h&r block claims! he even smirked when i asked about the advertised "second look." did he give a 2nd look? NO. my $80 filing turned into about $220 for some unknown, INEXPLICABLE reason. i complained, and got about $50 off right away, so im sure everyone complains...dont waste your money, go to a tax EXPERT you trust, or do it yourself online. read more

I've been working since I was in high school, but my mom normally helps me get my taxes done. This is my first time doing it on my own and I'm so glad I came here! When it comes to taxes, I have no idea where to start, but Raymond was helpful and I felt like he was trying to teach me at the same time. I spent about half an hour here, and I feel really confident about my taxes. They're methodical in their work and asked me a lot of questions that I wouldn't have considered just to make sure I didn't miss anything. Again, thank goodness for Raymond! read more

Very professional, knowledgeable and quick. By the time I get home, I already receive notice from IRS that my return was accepted.

This H&R block is head & shoulders above the rest - it is a privately owned location and the owner, Ray, is a certified CPA whose entire team is committed to your financial needs, whether big or small. They will work with you as an individual. You receive the personalized attention of a small, independent business along with the benefits of a corporate backing - The best of both worlds. I have worked with Ray and I can not sing his praises enough. Ever since moving to Los Angeles from New York, I have struggled to find the right accountant to help me manage my finances and do my taxes. Well, now I have found them and I will never go anywhere else again. HIGHLY ENDORSED!!!! read more

Ronald Lee helped me out, answered all of my questions with knowledge and even took a look at my last year's taxes that I filed through turbo tax and it seems like I will get money back from that deal. Very reasonable and was able to be seen the same day that I called. Thanks Ronald. read more

Raymond Ng, CPA (Pasadena Office) is very professional and knowledgeble. He is very pleasent to work with and has a good attitude . I am very pleased with his service. read more

This is my first year doing taxes since I graduated UCLA and got a job and was just totally clueless on the whole process so I came to the Pasadena Tax Center/H&R Block after a co-worker referred me to his uncle's place. When I got there Raymond helped me out SOOO much. I was totally confused and just dropped all my envelopes, bills, and brought along all my information and crap and he didn't even flinch. He was very nice and helped me sort through everything. He even explained the process and what he was doing so even I can understand what the hell was going on. It took less than an hour and the price was reasonable. In fact, I felt that it was totally worth it because he saved me so much time and headache and I was able to get all these deductions. Not at all in the whole process did I feel ripped off, cheated, or overcharged for being completely clueless like I thought I might be. I walked out feeling great and that my taxes were prepared by a professional. Bottom Line: I completely recommend the Pasadena Tax Center since the service was superb, it took less than an hour and it was reasonably priced. read more

Ray was recommended to me by a friend and I am so happy she gave me the referral. Ray prepared and filed my 2015 taxes and was extremely thorough and patient with my many questions. Since I am self-employed I didn't want to prepare my taxes on my own and wanted to work with someone who would be patient with me and help me reduce the amount owed (legally of course!). I had high expectations because of my friend's recommendation and Ray not only met, but exceeded them. Since my appointment I have had some questions come up and Ray responds timely to emails and phone calls, answering all my questions and educating me along the way. Thank you Ray for all your help! read more

As a small business owner trying to handle everything personally and professionally, it was important to have a CPA that I trust and will do everything he can to get my taxes filed correctly and proficiently. Raymond Ng is the best! I think I've seen him 7 years now and he is great at explaining the complexities of my return. I have total confidence in him and I only wish I had gone to him 25 yrs ago:-). Having H.R Block as the Corp Raymond is a franchisee of also gives me peace of mind. Always so glad to meet with him and be done with it. read more

Absolutely the best tax service I have used! Thanks Frank for the fast, professinal and great service you provided for me on my tax return this year. You have gained a lifetime customer. read more

Raymond has been doing my taxes for the past 10 years and I have always been extremely pleased with the results. He is fast and efficient (in fact, with his help, I've already filed this year) and always has time to answer any questions that I have. Every year while doing my taxes he has made suggestions about things that I could do for the following year to save on taxes and that advice has definitely saved me money! I highly recommend these guys! read more

I was being helped and had a lot of questions, and Jan stepped in! Not to discredit anyone else, I'm just going to say that Jan is very helpful, knowledgeable, and gave a lot of stellar advice! I recommend her 100% The business got me in and out in a hurry, and Jan let me know the best options for me. I appreciate her honesty! read more

I've never met with a CPA before today. I usually file all my taxes via TurboTax. I made that clear to Raymond Ng from the very beginning. He didn't try to dissuade me from using an opposing company. He was just so real and upfront about everything. I really appreciated how honest he was about all the facts. Ray was understanding and non-judgmental about my questions. He didn't try to rush the appointment and hurry me along. I'm certain I'll be back to work with him in the coming years as filing taxes becomes more complicated with home ownership. read more

This isn't your regular run of the mill H&R block. Ray is patient, knowledgeable, and I trust him with my information. I've been working with Ray for the past 8 years and he's counseled me through marriage, divorce, rental property saving tips. This is what a good accountant should do for you! read more

I love this place! I went in here a couple days ago and Chris helped me. He was extremely professional and it was obvious he knew exactly what he was doing. I went in here with a number in my head that I thought I would get back and by the time we were done had actually helped me get back an extra $1,000 that I would've never known I could've gotten back. I also really liked the morale of the whole place, Chris had a question about categorizing something and his coworker (I think his name was Frank) stopped what he was doing and came over and helped so we could finish because I had an appointment to go to. The entire experience was smooth and I would highly, highly recommend going and seeing Chris for your taxes. read more

Ray is very knowledgeable and personable as I've been able to get to know him throughout the years. I look forward to seeing him every year to get my taxes done although the drive sucks but i have no intentions of going anywhere else. read more

As an independent contractor in the entertainment industry as well as investing in different projects throughout the year taxes can get complicated. Raymond is not only a tax master but has a great knowledge of the business end of the entertainment industry. I had a great experience at The Pasadena Tax Center. I easily made an appointment over the phone, walked right in with no wait, and was completed with everything very quickly. Raymond was very helpful with advising and helping calculate expenses and deductions. The service was one on one and very personal, making me feel like I was an important client and not just another number. Raymond really takes the time to explain everything in detail educating me not only on this years expenses but what to prepare for in the future. The price was reasonable and totally worth it because he saved me so much time and headache. It is a great feeling having your taxes prepared by a professional and H&R Block stands by their work if anything is questioned in the future. I greatly recommend the Pasadena Tax Center if you want a personal touch as a client and not to be treated as just another customer. Great experience all around! read more

The extra staff that is brought in board at this location was helpful, in fact, she was great. However, we left one of our documents (proof of healthcare from Covered California )at home and needed to bring it back the next week to submit to complete our taxes. Raymond asked us to pay the amount in full, which included adding in the document we were going to bring in the following week. He suggested it would be easier so we could just drop off the document, he would update it and we would be all set. We paid about $400 each (simple tax returns, w-2, roth, mortgage interest), and as mentioned, we paid in full, and made sure there would not be additional charges when we drop off the final document. When we returned the following week, Raymond wanted to charge us another $65 to add in the form from Covered California, which we clearly discussed at the initial appointment when he suggested we pay the amount in full to simplify and speed up the process. He denied it and called us liars. The experience here with him was very negative and punishing. And because it's a franchise, your complaint and concerns really don't go beyond him. read more

Ronald was amazing. An absolutely professional in every sense of the word. I had an amazing experience and will def be coming back next year. If I could give 6 stars I would! read more

I cannot thank Ray enough for the excellent customer service. It was my first time filing taxes and he made the whole process from beginning to end so easy! Was very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, & efficient! Highly recommend this place to file your taxes! I will be returning next year! read more

Frank and Ray are both great! Last year Frank did my taxes, this year Ray. Awesome service from both!

Great office. I have worked with two preparers here and they were both awesome. Thanks Frank and Ray.

Ray is amazing! I have been going to Ray for 4 years for my taxes and I always leave with a smile on my face! I have recommended every single one of my friends to go to him... cause Ray is just that great!!! read more

Walk ins be prepared to wait! Even when calling ahead. I was ignored for half an hour and a courteous acknowledgement couldn't even be spared to let me know how long it might be. read more

This is only my second time writing a Yelp review and unfortunately I am writing this because my experience was so awful. I stood up and left in the middle of my appointment because I have never been made to feel so belittled in my entire life. Although I do not have much to claim, I still like to have someone in front of me walking me through the filling process. After reading great reviews about Frank, I decided to make an appointment with him. Bad decision. He laughed at me multiple times and questioned the answers I would give him, like I was a five year old. ie. "are you sure? that seems like a low number to me; This is the only income you have??" then would laugh at me, making me feel like an idiot. Hold your criticism Frank, you work at H&R Block. Why would I ever go file taxes while feeling judged and not taken seriously at all? It is hard to even give this review one star but Yelp will not let me give zero stars. read more

Jan McFarlane has been a great to me with my taxes. I called for a different question about my taxes and when she had answered she was great and gave me what I needed. But later she noticed there was a mistake in my filling. My taxes were not done correctly and she was able to locate a mistake that the other accountant had missed. She has noticed the CA State was not amended just the Federal. So now I have to go in and have them make the changes. read more

Everyone was very helpful and with Ray's help, I was able to pay half of what I was expecting! Would definitely recommend Ray and this branch to anyone who needs help for the first or hundredth time! read more

I have been going to Ray Ng for my taxes since 2009. Ray is always a pleasure to work with. He is thorough, asks the right questions, and is very helpful. I highly recommend Ray for tax services. read more

I've been going to Ray for about 3 years now and I am really happy getting my taxes done by him. He's worked in the entertainment industry so it makes me feel comfortable to know that he is knowledgable in that area. I'm getting the most I've ever gotten back this year and am super excited about that! Ray always gives a good deal for being a returning customer and I love that. Thanks so much! read more

Frank handled our taxes extremely quickly. I had every confidence that it was done thoroughly and it was evident he knew what he was talking about. read more

We went to H&R Block for the first time this year. We chose this office because of the location and the yelp reviews. When we arrived, everyone in the office was friendly and welcoming. Raymond did our tax prep and he was very thorough and knowledgeable. We had a complicated prep and he was very patient and did not rush. He took the time to explain how we might make our tax prep less complicated next year. Overall a positive experience. read more

I had a great experience doing my taxes with Ray. It felt like I was doing my taxes with a friend in my living room. He was super helpful and I highly recommend doing your taxes here. read more

Ray has been taking care of my tax, payrolls and booking for many years. He's very professional and honest ! He keeps me in check and out of trouble. I can trust him with all my tax service needs. As a business owner, time is money, having a someone you can trust to take of your tax, is a great relief. I am totally happy with his services! read more

My tax preparer Cyndi T. was very knowledgeable and I trust and respect her expertise. Cyndi T. has prepared my taxes for over the past few years and I wouldn't go to anyone else. In fact, I recommend her to potential customers. She is very kind, patient, and willing to explain any questions or concerns you may have in order to get the job done. Thanks H &R Block for having amazing people like Cyndi be apart of your team ;) read more
