I do not recommend this firm. We are a two income household with w-2 only work. I'm 2020 Jason Hooker charged us $600. This year he invoiced us $835 for our 2021 tax filing. He did not notify us of any increase in price. We filed federal and CA taxes just like in 2020. The 39% increase in fees (not including filing fees) is unacceptable and shows an incredible lack of communication and transparency in business practices. read more

A CPA is certainly not an exciting person in your life. That's actually a good thing. These guys are fantastic! I haven't met Jason in person but I've talk to him a dozen times on the phone and I'm always excited when I get off the phone because I don't feel bogged down by bad news. Jason is always pleasant to talk to you has wonderful answers to my questions and takes care of all of our financial needs in a way that surpasses what we have received from other vendors read more

I just started working with Hunter & Co. As a business owner, I have had a great experience with them. Recommended!

I have been with Jason and Greg for at 15 years or more. I have nothing but great things to say about them. I would not go to anyone else to get my tax work done. read more

The office manager is rude does look and greet you and so is the receptionist who wears glasses. Greg is a slimy snake and thinks he has a team of professionals. My taxes were took forever to get to me and when I would call I was given so many reasons why they were not completed. My calls were never returned by Greg the snake it was always one of his rude front office staff. Bad service I would stay away from this firm. read more

Taxes and IRS are two dreaded words. But, Jason at Gregory Hunter CPA firm makes the process less daunting. He takes the time to meet with clients before tax preparation begins, deals with tax benefit questions for business entity formation, investments, etc. We had an issue with the IRS and their nasty grams. Jason handled the rebuttal information quickly and professionally. Makes it easier to deal with in April! read more

We had a terrible experience with this firm when we used them for 2014 tax returns. They were slow, inaccurate, and honestly just added more stress to the whole tax process than we would have had doing taxes by ourselves. That's pretty much the opposite of what we, or I think anyone, is seeking in an accounting firm. We used them last year, and were hoping for the best. They assured us how rigorous their process of double checking returns was, and then - after many delays - gave us our completed return for review. A 5 second glance at the review showed that they spelled our name wrong. Not the level of accuracy we were looking for. When we told them it was wrong, their first inclination was to blame us: in their words, "we use the name exactly as listed on the W2". We politely pulled out the W2's to illustrate their mistake, and they quickly re-did everything. This was after our return was delayed by many weeks after it had been promised. We pledged to never return. Early this year, we got a letter from them explaining that they had been overwhelmed with customers last year. There were apparently difficult circumstances involved, including a merger and death of a former partner. Interestingly, there was no apology for the poor service, just acknowledgement of their poor service and a thank you for continued business. It may be that things are better this year, but we didn't stick around to find out. read more

I was so lucky to be recommended to Jason for his CPA expertise. I just opened a small business over a year ago and taxes and the IRS are two subjects you grow up fearing. Jason made my first year of taxes incredibly simple and helped me understand what I was signing and why it was needed. Tax season was not stressful for me at all with his assistance. Just a few weeks ago, I realized I accidentally entered some information about an employee in wrong and my payroll company was going to charge me to fix the problem. After a 15 minute visit to Jason's office, correcting everything with him on my own, he saved me $300! Trusted CPA's are hard to find but Jason has become mine. read more

This company is amazing. Jason, Greg and Lindsey (as well as all members of their team) have been terrific to me and our small business. They continue to be tactful, honest, courteous and professional. I am extremely happy with the services and friendly approach towards expertise in accounting. Thank you. read more

I've used Greg for almost 20 years and can't recommend him enough. In 1996, I brought a shoe box full of receipts and various papers to Greg and he turned my mess around and helped me get square with the IRS. Since then, we have also entrusted Greg to manage our investments, which has been fruitful as he directs investments based on his understanding of our unique tax requirements and long-term objectives. Let's just say that in 1996 I was in no position to talk about "wealth management strategies" and I have Greg and company to thank for that. read more

Jason Hooker with Hunter & Company has been doing my taxes for years now. The first time Jason did my taxes he reviewed the previous year and caught a $5,000 error (in my favor). The office staff Loretta and Lindsey are helpful and friendly. I refer Jason to my family and friends every chance I get. read more

We previously used Terry Enfield for accounting but found out our files were transferred to Hunter & Company after Terry passed away last year. We gave Hunter & Company a chance by setting up an appointment to speak with Greg. We mentioned that we had a retainer with Terry and needed to know the amount remaining and if it would be honored. When we spoke with Greg, he had not even reviewed our file, much less researched the retainer. He promised to get back to us on several questions. He never did. When we reinitiated contact, he clearly had not done anything to research our questions or attempt to help us. After a third chance with no follow up, we asked for our retainer (the one thing they finally confirmed existed) and files to be returned. It has been over a month, and we still have not received our retainer nor files back. Instead they insisted that they sent it pointing out that they did not believe that they were under any obligation to do so. I asked for the check to be reissued over 2 weeks ago, and they still have not done so, nor responded. I would avoid any CPA firm that treats its customers this way. read more
