Disrespectful and unprofessional! Until 2018, I was a grad…read morestudent and I hardly made 16K a year, so I filed my taxes myself. In 2019, I had a wonderful career, made very good money and purchased a house. So, I needed help to file my taxes. I googled CPAs and I've found Mr Cameron Irtifa. I really wanted the good reviews to be true and give me a relief I have a good trustworthy CPA for the rest of my life. However, my experience was really bad. First of all, he was late for our appointment. He apologized and I was cool with it. Then he made a lot of bad comments about my country of Origin. I asked him to stop talking about it. He apologized and stopped. But he kept talking about all other random stuff that didn't have anything to do with taxes like what is my laptop model, if my green card lawyer was good, stories from his family in his country Pakistan and so on. When paying for the session he considered start to finish, so technically I paid for the time he took to tell his personal stories!

My partner and I moved to the Beaverton area a few years ago. We own a couple of rental units. I…read morehad been filling out the tax forms using TurboTax for us for a number of years. I knew I didn't understand landlord accounting laws very well although I have an old accounting clerk certificate. Cameron Irtifa completed our tax forms for the past couple of years. I filled out our tax forms on TurboTax first to compare to his results. He has saved us thousands of dollars each year. We can't afford to have me fill out our tax forms any more. His fees are very reasonable. We paid four times as much for a CPA in Eugene to fill out our tax forms years ago. But this Eugene CPA had an office next to a golf course. Mr. Irtifa's office in Beaverton is very unassuming. I do chit-chat with Mr. Irtifa as we go through my tax information. He has referred me to several local professionals, like lawyers, that solved other problems I was working on. By chatting with other clients I know he hears who is good and who is not. I appreciate being able to pick his brain for advice as we go through my tax information. He has taken the time mid-year to give us investment advice when we asked. I have also given him advice on topics I feel passionate about, which he accepted graciously. If you want a very formal CPA, you should go to someone else. Mr. Irtifa worked for the IRS for a number of years so I trust him when he advises me on how to answer an ambiguous tax question. Mr. Irtifa can get behind on his appointments during the day. I just remind myself that when it is my turn he will take as long as I need to get my tax forms filled out correctly and my questions answered. I am glad we found him.

I called this guy and asked him a couple of questions and when he gave me his rate I told him I…read morethought it was high and that I would look around for a more reasonable price. He was very rude and accused me of thinking I wanted free tax advice. Wow! Go elsewhere for your tax needs this guy's got a huge attitude problem. And he won't stop emailing me! I've had to mark them as junk...really unprofessional! By the way I just looked at my phone history and I talked to this guy for 14 minutes yesterday not a half an hour. Can you imagine how he would have padded the time he spent actually answering my questions? Then telling me it would take 2 hours to answer questions that would take a professional less than an hour... I did not balk, all I did was ask how many hours he guessed it would take. I was never expecting his advice for free. That's why I gave him my mailing address at the end of my email. What a jerk.

I recently reached out to Steve for help in filing an amended tax return. He was able to easily…read morecommunicate the steps that we would take including which documents he required, how to securely provide them digitally, and he provided a very accurate estimate of how long the expected work would take. The whole process went smoothly. Steve would let me know whenever he needed an additional document that I didn't initially provide, or a signature on some new forms. The whole process of transferring documents back and forth in a secure system went was very convenient. I had several questions along the way and Steve always seemed happy to address any and all of them without any issues. Taxes are always intimidating to me and I never look forward to doing them. So it was refreshing to be able to work with Steve, who just really made the entire process pretty stress free. If I ever need help with my returns in the future, I would be happy to go back to Steve.

I've been using TurboTax for as long as I can remember. This year I had a unique financial…read moresituation, so I decided to hire somebody who could lessen the degree to which I got screwed on my taxes. Paul was perfect for me. I did not want to drive up to Vancouver. So we did everything by phone/zoom & electronically. Here is his process: I called Paul at a designated time, and we chatted for a bit. He then asked me some questions, and directed me to his online platform. Paul's tax prep "organizer" is awesome. Many of the same questions from our phone call were reiterated and then documentation for my answers requested immediately below. It made the process easy to understand and I could do it in bite-sized chunks. There is also a spot just to the right where you can see the full array of everything you've loaded so you don't have to scroll and peck to discover if you remembered to load a particular document. After I finished, I notified him and he came back with information that enabled me to save more on my return. Actually, that one piece of info ended up saving me a lot. Our wrap up zoom conversation was instructive and pleasant. Paul has the heart of a teacher, and he took me through the process step by step so I could see how all the calculations panned out. He also gave me information that will help for next year. I totally loved working with him and will absolutely recommend him to my friends.

Don't waste your time! Look elsewhere…read more I met with Dan at his office in late February and provided him with my 2012 and 2013 Tax information. Upon leaving his office he gave the impression that my return should be pretty straight forward and that he would have the paperwork complete in about a weeks time. I sent him a follow up email the following week asking if he needed any additional paperwork from us and I got no response. I sent him another email the week after asking for an ETA and once again asked if he needed any additional information from me, still no response. Week 3 we left a voicemail with his office admin and still did not receive a call back or reply via email. To make matters worse, the person who answered the phone was quite rude and reminded us that it was a "month before the tax deadline, what do you expect?". I finally went in person to his office (without an appointment) to ask about the status of our return. He pulled out the paperwork and notified me that he needed some addtional info for our child expenses and some info for stocks I had sold that year. Really? Why didn't you mention that earlier, you know...when I emailed you once a week asking if you needed anything else? Or why not pickup the phone and return a call? When confronted about the lack of response to my emails and phone message, he was rude and once again stated that it was "only a month before the deadline" what did I expect?!? Seriously? Who operates a business like that? Regardless, I provided him with the information he requested within 30 minutes of leaving his office. Another week went by, still not a word. I sent a follow up email the following week, you guessed it...NO RESPONSE. Over a month has gone by since I met with him in person and turned in my paperwork when we receive an actual email from Dan. Exciting right?? nope...he was asking for basic information which had already been answered by us (more than once) at our initial meetings and via email. Unbelievable. Finally when confronting him via email about this, he stated that he no longer felt comfortable handling our return and mailed our paperwork back to us with two weeks left before the deadline. Extremely unprofessional! I highly recommend you stay away from this CPA and take your taxes elsewhere.

Quality Service All Around…read more Dan Barnes has completed my taxes for over a decade. He and his staff are always professional and looking out for my best interest. I receive a packet of information every year that among other things, includes tips on how tax laws have changed and how they may impact me. He also provides recommendations of the types of expenses and documentation I may want to include in order to obtain the lowest tax rate possible. If I have questions, his office responds promptly and thoroughly. Once I return my documentation to Dan's office, my tax return is completed and filed quickly. If I do not get my documentation to Dan's office prior to April 15, they automatically file an extension for me without me even needing to ask. Their service is stellar as is their preparation of tax returns. Dan and his staff always review my situation and finances carefully to ensure they take advantage of every tax law that may benefit me. In addition, he uses secure systems to make my completed tax return available to me immediately over the internet. I highly recommend Dan and his staff.
