Keith has been my accountant for six years, he does a great job. Keith considers all deductions and avenues to provide the best return. He completes the tax forms quickly and efficiently. read more

WARNING - Do not trust Keith to do your taxes! He failed to file our taxes on time, resulting in a fine from the IRS. He then failed to accept any responsibility for failing to do the job we paid him to do and failed to assist us in fixing his mistake. Instead, he screamed at me, threatened to hang up on me, and said he is closing his business and leaving California (probably in an effort to not get sued). If he is retiring, what a sad, disgraceful legacy to leave behind. He took our payment and failed to complete the job. I will be reporting him anywhere I can to keep other from getting taken advantage of by this person. This behavior is childish, unprofessional, dishonest and gross. read more

It took a bit of persistence I my part to get an appointment. I understood this because since CPA services are in demand near tax time. My neighbor recommended Keith to us so I left a few messages at his office. Eventually we connected & were able to get an appointment. Keith & his wife were personable & efficient. My husband & I felt comfortable working with them. We look forward to continuing using his services. read more

I had delayed filing my taxes for 2 years because I knew I knew I was out of my depth and would owe more money as a result of inheritance/insurance payments. Keith responded the same day and we booked an appt for the following day. He is laid back as is his home office. In language I could understand he took the time to review my documents and explain how he would proceed. Reasonable fee for 2 yrs returns. My Returns were completed in 2 days as promised. I am very pleased with the service and have found my new tax person. read more

Stellar service while providing outstanding value. I trust Keith for all my tax advice and needs.

Met with Keith today for a bit of a complicated tax return. I was greeted by his wife and his son and their friendly dog. I messaged Mr. Papish the night before quite concerned about my taxes. I had sold my home and my tax return was a bit complicated due to my capital gains earned. I dropped off my information and came back in an hour and they were done! The nicest thing was I was getting a refund with my federal and state return. Yay!! He does work out of his garage but don't be fooled, this family is great at what they do! They are personable, kind, and the cost was reasonable! Reach out and give him a call! You won't be disappointed! read more

Failed to file our taxes on time! We got fined. Keith is not fit to be a CPA. He is totally unprofessional and extremely rude!

I had been using Turbo Tax previously. Every year tax season was just a nightmare. I honestly dreaded it. It was made worse by the fact that Turbo Tax just didn't work correctly. I would try to enter the data from the forms, and it would give me errors saying that the forms cannot be correct. Their customer support was useless. They wound up telling me that I should just make up data to get their form to accept it. As I said, useless. I met Keith, bringing my tax forms with me. He made it incredibly easy. We were done in an hour. And in terms of pricing, he is very competitive with Turbo Tax. I would much rather pay a bit more and get days worth of time and stress back. I will be using Keith every year from now on. I can see why he's rated so highly! read more

Don't let the garage fool you, this is a totally professional and expedient service! For me, it was the little things that made the most impact. Keith has two monitors on his desk, one for him to use (obvi) and the second monitor facing the client so you can follow along. #transparency His partner and wife, Edie, was very organized with scheduling, reminders, and confirmations. I very much appreciated how she took the time to prep an envelope for my fiancé and I since we owed money. She wrote our address, the IRS address, and put a stamp on it so we wouldn't have to worry about it. We paid the IRS online, but that attention to detail was the "chef's kiss" for me. Best tax experience I've had to date. Thanks Keith & Edie!! read more

In years past I have had my taxes done by various tax preparation offices in Vallejo. In every case, no matter who the tax preparer was, my original hardcopy State and Federal returns would be automatically separated and stapled as a courtesy for me to mail or file. Unfortunately, for tax year 2018 I chose Keith Papish's firm on 3-21-2019 to prepare my taxes; WOW, BIG MISTAKE! This was a decision I will forever regret. Even though upon entering his office I found it to be literally (in my opinion) a terribly messy, almost "HORDERS-LIKE" disorganized pigsty, with papers all over the floor, tables, cabinets, etc.., I was willing to overlook the disgusting paper "mess" in the sincere hopes he did good work. I chose Keith after reading the recent YELP feedbacks about him, believing the responses accurately reflected his business. Boy, I was wrong.. In my opinion, even though Keith appeared friendly yesterday (3-21-19), today (3-22-19) when I called to simply ask a question or two about the documents that I received back from his office, I was instantly met with a barrage of insults and smart-ass remarks, then I was rudely and COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONALLY hung up on to my shock and disbelief. Just for asking a couple of questions and "bothering" him, Mr. Papish screamed that (and this is where it gets very strange) "he has the right to fire his customers and I AM FIRED(?)". I could not understand why he said such a ridiculous statement and yell and attack me as he did. Very odd... My question simply involved the mailing of the hardcopies to the IRS. I attempted to mention to Keith that in every situation in the past (when I was the customer) the originals for the State and the Federal would be separated as a convenience and a courtesy for me. In this case it was not done, I guess because Keith did not want to bother with it. Since tax preparation is not my field I did not know if there was something else I should do and I assumed that Keith could tell me what should be done, if anything. However, as a NEW customer, no matter what my reason was for calling to ask a question, to be met with such blatant childish screaming & sarcasm from a grown man was really a shocker!! I then called back and fortunately spoke with Mrs. Eve Papish who was very nice to me & took the time to actually have an adult conversation with me and answer my questions. She was absolutely great! I thanked her for her time and complemented her. A few minutes later I received a call again from Keith who called me & told me that he was "being pulled in 10 different directions at once". He then apologized for his really rude behavior to me. However, when I tried again to simply have a conversation with him, he began to IMMEDIATELY raise his voice & scream at me and tell me that I, as his new client, was again "FIRED", and that he has a RIGHT to choose his customers AND that "EVERYBODY LOVES HIM".. WHAT WAS HE TALKING ABOUT?? Why he said this to me made absolutely NO LOGICAL SENSE since all I was trying to do again was just talk to him as 2 adults. Unfortunately, before I could talk to him, he again slammed the phone down on me. At this point in my opinion, I honestly cannot imagine why Keith was so horribly abrasive, arrogant and HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL with me. I was never insulting with him for I had NO REASON to be insulting; if anything, I was impressed with him initially and just wanted to ask a few questions over the phone, that's all. In my humble personal opinion ( & I am not a Psychologist) Mr. Papish's strange unremarkable behavior he exhibited with me due to the stresses in his life has resulted in him being unbelievably erratic, dangerously volatile and highly unprofessional, and I would seriously honestly caution anyone who is seeking to have their taxes done to be advised about Keith, his behavior, his highly disorganized and messy office and to be prepared for "anything" no matter how "unusual". His office is distinguishable by the big strange plastic "COW" that stands on top of the building from when it was a milk store (why is it still there?). I would be happy to discuss in detail what happened to me with anyone who may be curious read more

I went to see KEITH to do my taxes and dropped off the paperwork I came back later that day to review everything with him. We spent some time going over things. I was very impressed and he saved me a lot of money. He has a great personality seems to be very knowledgeable and I will probably go back next year if his services are needed! I highly recommend him! Thank you so much! read more

This is our 4th year using Keith. He does excellent work and explains everything! We highly recommend Keith!

Keith is very professional. He helped me out the last few weeks before my taxes were due. Keith's fees were not high, like most places I had been to in the past. read more

2nd time going back to Keith Papish to file my husband and I's taxes. Very friendly crew his got in his new office!! Yes, I would most definitely recommend him! read more

Keith was so great. He helped my husband and I file our taxes. He was great with recommendations and suggestions of how to better take care of our finances moving forward. He has a very non-judgemental, get it done attitude that puts you at ease. I even mentioned that I had read a bad review that had been posted about him - at the time, he had left a response to the review regarding that customer's demeanor but had since removed it. He said he learned from it and as a result, realizes that he needs to be more patient. I thought that was the perfect response as we all have bad days. It was so telling that he was willing to own that and grow from it. I fully respect that. I will be back and tell all my friends. This guy is awesome. read more

Keith was very unprofessional and inaccurate. When questioned about missed deductions and missed prepayments he was very defensive and resorted to profanity. If you don't care about getting your taxes done right then he might be okay but I'll never use him again. read more

Keith is a great guy didn't feel pressure doing my taxes with him, he answered any ?' I had I definitely coming back and will refer him to any one I know. Give him a try ! I'm glad I did read more

Keith has been my go to for the past 3 years after my ex husband who told me was doing our taxes, however was doing them severely wrong and put us in a huge bind that I found out about after our divorce. He fixed everything. Ammened my returns. He is always available for me to ask questions. Gives me a veterans discount, which I am so thankful for. He is absolutely amazing. I appreciate all of his hard work and am always happy to refer him to others. read more

Update: I made an error on my paperwork which made extra work after he submitted all my taxes to the IRS and FTB. Mr. Papish was very kind and fixed the problem at no extra charge. I really recommend him!!! read more

I am SO happy we found Keith. He was super patient with us, even though we had a million questions and were super unorganized. He gave us tips and tricks on how to organize our taxes and help with deductions on our business. Thanks Keith! We will be back to see you every year until forever. read more

Keith is the best there is! My Mom and I are both happy with the knowledge and experience of Keith. He knows the tax laws and provides accurate and solid information. His wife who also works in the office is an absolute pleasure. We always feel comfortable when meeting with Keith and his staff. If you want that personal experience with someone you can trust then Keith is your CPA. Your not just a "tax packet" your a person. read more

Don't get milked!! Go to Keith!! Great people! Local business! I tried out my taxes on Turbo and on H&R block. They both came out with more taxes due and they both charged me more than Keith did to do my taxes. Why struggle with online or use someone that isn't certified when it is cheaper, easier and nicer to go to Keith! Glad I found him! We will be back next year for sure! read more

I highly recommend Keith. I have worked with other CPAs but Keith is the most diligent person I have ever encountered. He got our taxes right and noticed that we should have received a giant tax refund and amended our returns for us. I'm very glad I found Keith - I have even started using him for my small business. My taxes (and my company's) are very complicated, and he has really followed through on everything. read more

I found Keith after having a bad experience with my last CPA and I regret not having gone to Keith much sooner. Keith is very patient and knowledgeable. He explains things thoroughly using common terms that everyone can understand. He's always been available to me by phone, email, and in-person by appointment. His wife also works alongside him and they operate great together as a team. I have been recommending Keith to everyone I personally know who is seeking a different CPA. read more

Super friendly and knowledgeable. Fit us in the only time we had available and was accessible by email whenever we needed him.

My husband and I have been coming to Keith for the last 3 years, and every time we come in for an appointment, we walk away feeling more like family. Keith really knows his stuff: he's quick, friendly, very knowledgable and charges very reasonable rates. Our 2020 tax situation was incredibly complicated but he was able to do our handle our situation gracefully and quickly. Like the last 3 years, we will definitely be back. read more

Thank you so much for preparing my taxes! Keith helped me out with my 1099 and out of state taxes. He did an extraordinary job and was quick, responsive, and at an affordable price. I wish I came here sooner. Cya next year! read more

I moved to Vallejo several years ago and needed to find a local accountant. My tax situation is more complicated than most as I operate in multiple countries so I was wondering if I'd find the right person. I talked to several candidates and was beginning to think I'd have to go further afield until I met Keith, his lovely wife Eedee (that's how it sounds anyway) and their extremely friendly dog (name unknown). Keith's setup is a little disorderly! But his accounting brain is not. Not only does he really know his stuff but he's extremely friendly, helpful and easy to pay. He's "fixed" some previous work by other accountants I've used and he's patiently answered every question/request I've had with a very fast turnaround time. His bills are refreshing too. I've told him he doesn't charge enough! Very honest, knowledgeable and efficient. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Great service!! Keith and his wife was awesome. I told Keith that I usually do my own tax with Turbo tax and I wanted to try out CPA because I recently got purchased a home.

Keith and Edita are an amazing team. High level of detail for both our personal and LLC needs and a super rapid turn around time.

I have a complicated tax return with a family trust and commercial property in a different state than i live. Keith was able to help me resolve past tax issues and put me in a position to reclaim the maximum refund possible. I was incredibly impressed by Keith's knowledge of of multi State returns and the complexity of a family trust, multiple income sources and commercial property income. Keith Papish is brilliant and perceptive. He is CPA for today. He is knowledgeable and keen. I couldn't recommend him more. He was able to correct mistakes made by HR Block and decrease my tax burden.

He did the initial taxes and then the State of California found some new income to tax even though my brother did not live in California or earn money in California. He was very patient and through with this complicated and difficult issue and ended up saving the estate a lot of money. I definitely recommend Keith and his wife to help you with your taxes or other accounting needs. read more
