We just sold our home in the bay area this year and moved to Redding. In the past we have always filed our own taxes but now we have a few investments and a few other more complicated forms to file, so we needed a good tax CPA to file this years taxes. A friend of ours referred us to Kevin. His pricing is fair and best of all he doesn't nickel and dime you with phone call charges. We look forward to having him as our CPA every year.

It's tough to find accountants with whom you can also connect with on a personal level and who are friendly and fun to converse with- and here you get all those things in one. He also helps direct us to other services in the community that he's had experience with, and at times offers advice in other areas of our life not related to taxes which is thoughtful. Very professional and a good balance here with being the client's advocate yet following rules and ensuring accuracy in the filing process. It takes a huge load off of us. We feel super confident using their services.

You upload your documents to a "secure site" (which is a joke I think? My browser gave me a warning about it not being secure and someone could be trying to steal my information - LOLZ!). Then you dont hear back from them for over a month. April 15th passes, no word. Luckily the tax deadline was extended this year (2021). When you call, you are told "its being reviewed and they will reach out to you, probably today." No one does. The next week you call again and they say the same thing. Then someone does reach out to you, huzzah! But it's not the person who did your taxes to go over them with you. That would be helpful. Instead you hear from the receptionist telling you your taxes are done and what you owe them and the government. Okay. Great. You look at your taxes and shit you owe A LOT. You're not used to owing SO MUCH. If you happen to have a question about something, they treat you like you're an annoying idiot and say "I've only been doing taxes for 34 years, I think I know the law..." Mmkkk. Yes, thats the reason you, and not me, are doing my taxes. And I'm ignorant, so I have questions. Jesus, I'm not attacking your intelligence. On the contrary, I'm seeking information to understand. If there is a mistake with the paperwork (payment math isnt adding up to the total balance, the first payment shows its already past due), when you ask about it, they tell you Tracy is busy and won't be able to look at whether the information is correct, for a month. A month, seriously. Your tax paperwork has errors and they can't even look at it to check their own work within a reasonable time frame. You need this information to be accurate because you need to take action on the information (the first payment is due in a couple weeks). Or is it already past due? Its too bad you're unimportant enough to get prompt service. I dont understand why someone else other than Tracy can look it over. She didnt even do them in the first place. Someone else there did. Not great service.
