If I could 0 stars I would... this has been the worst professional experience I have had. Darren cannot communicate, refuses to explain or work with you on your return, emails back in ALL CAPS and days late, does not return phone calls or voicemails, and has made sexist remarks. We have multiple peers who have had this same experience with Darren this year and will not be moving forward with him next. read more

Adrian A. took care of us. Couldn't ask for a more responsive, honest, and helpful person. Will be coming back in the future for all our tax needs. read more

Darren is a genuine and passionate person who truly believes and cares of the wellbeing of others and I can't be more grateful to him and his assistance on my hell of a journey with my irs tax issuers due to employer fraud and I put my full trust into his work. Thank you again Darren for your support and your kind and sincere work. I'd recommend Darren for all your tax needs, beautiful office and great communicator. read more

This review is a little late but I highly recommend using Irvine Tax Group! I was looking for a tax person as I started a business last year. I found so many great reviews about this place that I reached out and met with Darren. He was very kind, personable and helped me with understanding my business and what I needed to file as I didn't know where to begin. I appreciate all their time & will definitely be using them again! read more

Darren is a true professional and provides excellent guidance that has helped me immensely. He provides excellent service and great value.

Two years later, and we are still doing our taxes with Darren. Wanted to check in again and say how amazing, expedient, and knowledgeable he is. We will definitely be coming to him for as long as he is in practice! If you're looking for a new Place to do your taxes, Darren is your guy. read more

I had the pleasure of meeting with Darren at Irvine Tax Group. I never thought that getting my taxes done would be such a positive experience! Darren was very responsive from the beginning and consistently communicated throughout the process. He is clearly very knowledgeable and had my best interest in mind. I thought I would have a huge tax bill this year due to a significant gain from selling a rental property. Instead, I walked away paying about 15% of what I thought I would owe! Additionally, his fee was a complete surprise... a fraction of what I thought it would be. He also goes beyond the numbers and spends time to get to know you and where you're at in life to see how he could be of benefit both short and long term. I'm not one to typically write reviews, but if you are looking for an experienced and knowledgeable tax professional, he's definitely your guy. I remember my first conversation with him when he said we treat our clients like family. Well, he truly does... read more

My family and I have been going to Darren for the past 3 years for our individual tax filings. He is extremely kind, helpful, and flexible. He will take the time to answer all your questions; we have never felt rushed during any of our appointments. Overall, Darren has been very easy to work with and our family is very satisfied with his service. read more

My family has been using their service for years and we are very happy. Filing taxes can be too stressful and too time-consuming, especially if you are a business owner and not familiar with tax codes. I highly recommend Darren as your go-to CPA, and you will not be disappointed. He is prompt in getting things done and will provide guidance if you plan to have a business or just started with one. read more

I found Darren after a long search on Yelp for a knowledgeable cpa who not only prepares and files taxes but also works with you to get the most return. I found that a lot of other companies charge a consult fee in addition to the tax services. A lot of CPAs do the bare minimum. Not Darren. His knowledge and professionalism shines through and love that he has your best interest at heart. I am set to get money back this year and probably more in the coming years thanks to Darren. He is friendly, professional, and works hard for you (available 7 days a week). I feel taken care of and will be highly recommending his tax services to my friends and family. Give Darren a call, you won't regret it! read more

Fabulous, quick, and uncomplicated process. Stress free and would happily use this business again.

My husband and I, after several years of using online tax companies and being misled, and constantly owing taxes, started finally thinking we must be doing something wrong, so we decided to use a professional accountant to do our taxes. After searching several tax groups, some good friends of ours recommended Irvine tax group, and we our beyond thankful we did. Darren the agent who helped us was very informative, patient, and understanding. He was always in constant communication with us, and very knowledgeable; Not only did he help us towards a filing this year beyond our expectations, but Darren has also given us the knowledge and tools to prepare for a more aligned tax season next year. Thank you Darren for your hard work, we are so excited to continue working alongside you for each season in the future. read more

I had a meeting scheduled with Darren. I made the appointment on his appointment scheduling system a week in advance. We received a confirmation email and several reminders of our appointment. Today, we showed up and no one was at the office. I texted and called Darren several times and have not heard back. There was a parking garage at the building, and when we left we had to pay for parking after waiting 15 minutes with no response. read more

Darren always goes above and beyond his services for me everytime we meet. There were many times we surpass our 60 min sessions and he never made me felt rush during our conversations.

Best service! He was very responsive and so professional. He really took the time to talk to us and get to know us. None of the other people I reached out was as attentive as he was. Even after we filed out taxes, I reached out with questions and he always answered them without hesitation:). We have found our tax person for years to come:). We highly recommend him. read more

I cannot say enough glowing things about Darren and his services. We have used him to help out with our taxes for the past several years. Not only is his turnaround time incredibly quick and responsive, but he also helps us file our taxes more strategically. He outlined a multi-year plan with us which helped us from having to owe significant taxes every year to managing the right amount of tax withholdings + strategic investments through our rental property. Would 100% recommend Darren for filing taxes! read more

Irvine Tax Group has been filing my income tax return for a few years. When I relocated to southern California , I needed to find a reliable and trustworthy income tax preparer and was introduced to Darren. Instantly, I knew Darren would be an excellent fit for what I needed. I have referred all my family and friends looking for an accountant. Darren provides quick, excellent and professional services. The few that have decided to work with him have been repeat clients just like me. read more
