We've been in business for almost 15 years in Berkeley and are so happy we've finally found Signature CPAs. Edward is not only knowledgeable, but takes the time to explain any questions we have. The advice he has to offer is excellent. His attention to detail is 11/10. We've been with several other CPAs over the years (why is it so hard to find a good one?!). Edward gets it, and gets it done quickly! Highly, highly recommend. Thank you Sig CPAs!!

This review specifically pertains to Cecily. I was not happy with the service I received recently…read morewhen I went in seeking advice on a letter I received from the IRS. Despite the fact that Cecily provided some useful information (hence the 2 and not 1 star review), her attitude and personality was abrupt and, some might say, hostile. I was stressed about the letter, and rather than try to put me to ease and reflect an attitude that "we would be able to figure it out," she was very aggressive and demanding in her questioning. I felt like I was being interrogated and this was not AT ALL what I wanted or needed as someone who was relatively new at filing my taxes and receiving my first letter from the IRS. She honestly had zero bedside manner and even if I had made a completely egregious error on my filing, I did not feel as though her approach was appropriate or skilled in any way. It's very possible that I misread Cecily and that she was trying to be helpful and this was her way of doing that but I honestly think she might want to know that her clients may very well have this reaction to her given that she likely deals with a large client base. To be fair, I will say that I was with my Fiancé during the meeting and she did not have the same intensely negative reaction as me, however I usually do not feel this way after receiving face-to-face services and therefor feel compelled to write this review. I was also not prepared for the $135 she charged me for a 22 minute meeting. She was not up front about this prior to the meeting when I spoke with her over the phone. I understand now that this is her consultation fee but was confused because I know that places like H&R Block meet for free in advance of services agreed upon during the consultation. This was the worst customer service I have received in a very long time.

It was super easy to talk with him and figure out what was the best policy for my home. Geoffrey more recently helped me to get Life Insurance so that my adult children would have more support if something were to happen to me. Again, he made it so easy! Geoffrey is always knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He replies quickly whenever I have a question and I ask him something by email. I will hear back from him almost always on the same day that I asked the question. It is also very easy to call him at his office to get help when I had a need for immediate information. Geoffrey is reliable and I can't think of any way that he could be better than he already is. I'm very grateful to Geoffrey for his help with getting me insurance for the things I needed, and I highly recommend him!

**Warning about Tracy Tax Services**…read more I want to share my experience so others can be cautious. I had my taxes prepared through Tracy Tax Services, and my approximately $20k tax refund was sent to a bank account that I did not authorize or control. I am currently working with the IRS to try to recover the funds. When I requested copies of my tax returns and related documents, I was told that the tax preparer had been hacked and was unable to provide me with the copies I requested. Unfortunately, my daughter experienced a similar situation with her tax refund, although the amount involved was significantly smaller. This has been an extremely stressful and upsetting experience. I am sharing my experience so that others can be aware and careful! I am continuing to work with the appropriate authorities to resolve this matter and recover the

I've been taking my tax prep work to Layman Tax Service for over a decade now. They do awesome work. The office is small and looks old. But the people are nice. They do what they can to accommodate your circumstances. If you decide to give them a try, ask for Sharon T. Tell her I sent you (no commission, just want her to see my appreciation). Sharon is one of the kindest, friendliest and most awesome people you'll ever meet. She's thorough and honest, and does excellent work. Layman Tax Service communicates well with their clients and they are speedy too. I am very happy to speak up for this small little tax office that stands tall among the giants. Give them a try. PS - no I don't work there, and I was not compensated for this review.
