Let me paint you a picture. It's tax season. You've got a folder (okay, maybe a plastic bag) full…read moreof random receipts, W2s, 1099s, and a whole bunch of questions you've been too afraid to Google. Enter: **Aguilara's Bookkeeping**--a beacon of hope in the stormy seas of adulting. I've been coming here for a while now, and I usually go to Sandra. Sandra is a *queen*--seriously, I'd trust her to handle not just my taxes but probably a small nation's GDP if it came down to it. She's calm, sharp, patient, and somehow makes you feel like everything's going to be okay... even when you forgot to bring that one form you swore you printed last night. But today, I ended up sitting down with **Benji**, and wow--what a pleasant surprise. The man is a bookkeeping wizard. He took one look at my chaotic stack of papers and didn't even flinch. Cool as ice. You can tell this team really knows their stuff--not just in terms of numbers, but in dealing with all types of people and situations without judgment. Like, it's almost suspicious how good they are. Do they teach Jedi mind-calming tricks in bookkeeping school now? What really makes Aguilara's stand out is the energy in the place. It's welcoming, no-nonsense, but still friendly. It's like going to a friend's house, if your friend was a tax expert who had the magical ability to make your financial life feel less terrifying. The whole process was smooth, efficient, and dare I say... *enjoyable*? I know that sounds crazy, but somehow I left in a better mood than when I arrived--and this was a TAX appointment. Also, let's be real--trust is everything when it comes to stuff like this. And I trust Sandra, Benji, and the whole Aguilara crew completely. They're fast, they're honest, they don't make you feel dumb, and they know exactly what they're doing. It's rare to find a place where you feel both professionally taken care of *and* personally respected, but that's exactly what you get here. So if you're tired of stressing about taxes or dreading your next bookkeeping visit--don't. Just come to Aguilara's. They're pros, they're kind, and they might just make you believe that taxes aren't the worst thing in the world.

However, this last year was a little more complicated with some stuff we had so we decided to turn to the professionals. Miles referred us to Tom because he was booked and Tom really took care of us. They are really affordable (prices depend on your situation) and definitely better than going to your chain H&R Block. My family will be coming here from now on during tax season. I even recommended close friends to them! I highly recommend!

If you are even fortunate enough to get a reply via email the response back there are no appointments available. Even trying to make an appointment is very inconvenient. He needs an assistant if he doesn't already have one. But after I got my taxes done here in 2021 I decided not to return. The other place I went to after him offered to amend my taxes because I owed and said that partially I owed more because he did not offer to do any deductions considering I work for myself on the side, besides my regular job. I was told by Phin that I didn't have any tax deductions. So initially I left it at that. But I personally would rather find another tax person. I drove all that way and spend all that money not to get the best value especially I don't have a heavy amount of expenses; property taxes, dependents, etc. But wish him all the best moving forward just not with me as a tax customer of his establishment.

I reached out to this firm via email regarding tax planning for two foreign rental properties I…read moreown, as well as a fairly sizeable investment portfolio. I got a call back from one of the principals Natalia. The conversation was brusque and short- I felt as if I was being screened for whether I was worth their time or not. I was told I would get an email with more information and that I could schedule a consultation, which I was actually interested in doing. After the call I emailed her again with 2 brief follow up questions. Its been a few days now and I never received any further response. I realize that with April 15th looming they are likely very busy- apparently so much so that they don't really care about future business, or the basic courtesy of replying to a prospect even if they feel they aren't a good fit. **Response to the owner's reply** Natalia, You are conflating a request for 'free advice' with a standard inquiry into your service scope. Asking whether a firm provides quarterly MAGI forecasting and estimated payment vouchers is not seeking case-specific guidance; it is vetting a firm's technical capabilities before committing to a paid engagement. As I *specifically* stated in my follow-up email--which went unacknowledged--I was potentially ready to schedule a consultation once your firm confirmed it actually provided the planning-led services I require. I fully realize that professional tax advice is not free. However, to clarify the facts (and contrary to your statement), the topic of fees never once arose because your intake process failed at the most basic level: professional follow-through. If these services were 'out of scope,' a simple confirmation would have provided closure. Instead, you chose radio silence based on a two-minute pre-judgment. I have moved on to a firm that is transparent about their deliverables and understands that vetting a firm is part of the business, not a 'request for free work'.

Ummm, I didn't know this was a 'personal line' or why I would be asked immediately why I was calling for tax services at 7am on a Friday....Weird. Moving on, I attempted to briefly explain my employment income and that I was a homeowner. After informing her I was a homeowner, which based on my voice, she could tell I am female...she said she could help me and 'my husband'. Uh, lady, it's 2022! Get with the times! I ain't got no husband...I'm single, thank you very much. And surprise, surprise, as a 'working woman', I need to also file my taxes... I promptly informed her that maybe she shouldn't list her personal (?) line on Yelp, as it's listed for her BUSINESS and hung up... Maybe don't answer your business line if you are not 'at work' or ready and willing to accept a new client that would have been a consistent yearly payment for the next 25 years... Oh gasp! I'm under 40 too!...with no husband!? What ever will I do?! Thanks, but no thanks! Fail.
