We been working with our Accountant, Ara, for the past few years, and I can confidently say it's…read morebeen one of the best professional relationships I've had. Ara is not just an accountant--he's a true advisor. He helped us set up our LLC properly through the California Secretary of State, guided us through estimated tax payments, and introduced us to tax strategies we didn't even know were available. What really stands out is his proactive approach. He doesn't just prepare returns--he thinks ahead, plans strategically, and makes sure you understand what's going on every step of the way. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed, I highly recommend Ara and his company.

I reached out to Edit, who I believe is the receptionist who answered my call, seeking bookkeeping…read moresupport for my business. I spent approximately an hour on the phone explaining my business, operations, and the level of bookkeeping assistance I needed. Dee assured me that they could support my business and mentioned she had been doing this for a long time, which gave me confidence to move forward. On June 25, she requested my bank statements, profit statements, and a detailed explanation of my business. I spent another hour gathering the requested documents and walking her through everything in detail after spending her an email. She told me she would review the information and get back to me with a quote. After not hearing back, I followed up by email on June 26 and received no response. A few days later, I called and left a voicemail requesting an update again, no response. I called once more on June 30 and still did not receive a response. I'm disappointed that I invested so much time explaining my business and sharing sensitive financial information, only to be completely ignored afterward. Even if they decided they weren't the right fit, a simple courtesy response would have been the professional thing to do. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this firm. The lack of communication and professionalism resulted in a significant waste of my time.

I was with this firm for years. How it ended is why I'm writing this…read more My LLC's 2024 California return had errors in the ownership percentages that threw off the PTE tax allocation. I found them, not him. I asked him to fix it, he amended the return, and then never sent me a copy of it. So the only 2024 return I ever had in hand showed an overpayment of about $3,600. The actual corrected number was about $1,400. When I brought on a new accountant, I gave him the outdated one, because it was the only one that existed as far as I knew. That wrong credit carried into the next year and I got a state notice for roughly $2,500 plus penalties and interest, all because of Sam's mistake. That's fine. People make mistakes. I raised the issue with Sam on June 6. To his credit he owned it at first. June 18 he wrote that he wasn't going to pass the blame and that he'd get the notices and cover the penalties and interest "as I always do for other clients." Then again on July 1: "I am willing to work for the notice to reduce the penalty. I will take the responsibility for that." Then he went quiet for a month. Emails ignored. Two messages left with his office, never returned once. Nothing filed. Penalties running on MY account the entire time. August 5 he finally wrote back, and only because I'd given him a deadline. Not to file anything. But instead to demand more money. He said: "I told you that the open invoice should be paid first. It is very clear. That is my condition." He would not file the abatement unless I first paid him $1,010. That invoice is its own story. He billed me for the 2024 tax return when it was originally completed, I paid it in full the day it came in. Months later he told me the number was wrong and said i need to pay more, on the same return work that had to get amended for his errors. I said no then and we both closed it. He dug it back up 17 months later to get out of something he'd already committed to twice in writing. I ended up filing with the FTB myself. So here's where I landed after years of paying this firm - Sam cares more about collecting every dollar he can than about doing the work or keeping his word. A few hundred dollars of his own mistake wasn't worth an hour of his time. $1,010 was worth two months of mine and lies. Get yourself an honest CPA with integrity. Sam, unfortunately, has shown that he is not that.
