Hired KFN to do my business tax return as well as my personal taxes. Amazing quality, value and service. They reviewed prior years returns and found numerous mistakes and/or missed opportunities and amended them resulting in significant money refunded. We use to use one of the big accounting firms, never again! KFN is diligent, very knowledgeable and ask questions that I would have never thought about which helped save significant. overall 10/10! highly recommend! read more

Unfortunately, after a second round of outreach, we still have not received any assistance with our taxes. At this point, the lack of follow-through has put our family significantly behind. We were given multiple assurances and scheduled communications, but there was no consistency or accountability. Calls were missed, and messages went unanswered, leaving us without resolution. While there may be a high client volume, communication and reliability are critical when handling something as time-sensitive as taxes. This experience felt unprofessional and disorganized. I cannot recommend this company based on our experience. I truly hope they improve their responsiveness and client management moving forward, as situations like this can have a real impact on families. read more

Check out his Thumbtack reviews! Kyle has no integrity and is a compulsive lair. I've noticed that others have gone through the same experience and then expose him. He then creates a narrative suggesting that the individual's tax returns were creating red flags. Please review my attached images! You'll see that after I refused to remove my review all of a sudden filing my taxes was a "red flag." Protect yourselves from this guy! read more

I had an intro call that went over two hours, all great next steps but almost overly thorough (in hindsight). But either way, I left the call thinking we'd have some great momentum and he promised to review our past taxes and our 2025 submission. Well, zero follow up. I signed a contract and then ghosted. Then my husband was bothered by this since I had sent him all our private info, so he called Kyle and got the same promises. Nothing again, and we keep trying to get in touch. If he's busy, just say so! But don't request all our very personal, identity documents then fall off the grid. Very very unsettling and more importantly HIGHLY unprofessional. I was looking forward to working with him! But seems like professional maturity and stability is highly lacking, beware. UPDATE FROM KFN RESPONSE: I'm a professional project manager, there is absolutely no way I would miss a meeting I had been adamantly requesting for weeks. It's disappointing how unbelievably inaccurate this response is, to the point I may need to alert Yelp itself. I tried to reach you number of times and I even had my husband reach out since it was an unknown number and maybe you'd answer. Which you did, and ghosted him as well. I wouldn't make this up, lying about it should be a huge red flag for anyone reading this. read more

Kyle comes across very down to earth but then didn't answer his phone for two weeks after I paid him. He filed one year of taxes but I paid for two. I emailed, texted, and called. I was stressing out hard because I just dropped $1000 and then was ghosted. He was super responsive in the first few days but then didn't get back to me for weeks. Finally both years are filed. The stress of working with someone from out of state was my mistake, won't happen again. Better communication is key. read more

This tax company is a life saver! We were shocked when we found out we owed $9,000. But after they worked their magic, not only did we avoid the debt--they got us back $8,000 between 2 returns instead! That's a huge turnaround. Kyle is sharp, honest, and seriously knows what he's doing. We'll never go anywhere else! read more

BUYER BEWARE -- our experience matches my wife's review, and Kyle's public response to her is completely false and does not reflect what actually happened. My wife, Carley D (see her review on yelp), already posted a detailed review describing our experience with KFN Accounting & Financial, LLC and with Kyle Nader directly. I'm writing this to confirm that every part of her review is accurate, and to document my own experience as the co owner of our business. We hired Kyle to prepare both our 2024 business and personal tax returns. At the very beginning, he was responsive and seemed competent. We paid his invoice in full in November 2025 -- $2,250. After we paid, everything changed. Communication dropped off almost entirely. Weeks at a time went by with no response to phone calls, emails, or messages. At one point, he disappeared for nearly three weeks. Because he had access to sensitive business and personal financial information and because he continually went silent, we were forced to file a police report for our own protection. Only after law enforcement contacted him did he briefly resurface. Toward the end of the year, he finally completed our business return and told us he would use the K 1 to finish our personal return. Then he vanished again. We had to involve the detective a second time just to get a one sentence reply claiming filings were "frozen until January 26th." After that date passed, he again became unreachable. A third attempt by the detective to contact him also went unanswered. Throughout this entire process, we were patient, cooperative, and provided everything he requested. Despite this, the services we paid for were never completed, and he has never refunded the $2,250 we paid in advance. We originally got a detective involved because of the sensitive information we shared with him, which included our children's information. Kyle's public reply to my wife's review is misleading, evasive, and entirely inconsistent with the documented timeline of events, including the multiple times he stopped communicating until law enforcement reached out. His statement that information was "insufficient" is simply not true, and it does not explain months of disappearing, ignoring messages, or failing to complete work he was paid for. We now to hired (and paid) a new accountant to complete our filings, something Kyle repeatedly promised to do but never did. Kyle: When can we expect the refund for the work you failed to complete? We will continue to pursue this until the funds are returned and the matter is fully resolved. Consumers deserve to know what they may be walking into. Based on our experience, I strongly recommend avoiding KFN Accounting & Financial, LLC read more

hired Kyle and his team last year for business taxes and wow did we get more than that. Now Kyle operates as our CFO and handles everything from taxes, accounting, tax planning, and strategic financial business operation. Entire team at KFN is highly professional, very smart, and quick on their fee. Great value proposition they have as a one stop shop for everything. read more

Kyle handled my 2021 taxes, which is why I hired him again for 2022 and 2023. Unfortunately, my 2022 taxes were returned due to improper filing (I'm not sure of the exact issue), and he assured me he would resolve it alongside my 2023 filings. However, as the deadline approached, Kyle went completely radio silent. This wasn't the first time he had been unresponsive; in the past, he would disappear (often citing travel) but eventually get back to finish the work. This time, however, I was completely ghosted. Despite countless calls, texts, voicemails, and emails over several months, I received no response. I started to genuinely worry that something serious had happened to him--why else would someone behave this way? Just to confirm, I had my boyfriend call from his phone, and to my shock, he answered immediately. Once he realized I was on the line as well, he made an excuse about phone issues, promised to call back, and never did. Now, my 2022 taxes remain unresolved, and the 2023 filing deadline has passed, leaving me in a tough spot. This is not only irresponsible and unethical but also completely unacceptable, especially since I paid for these services in full. I always treated him with kindness, despite his unreliability, and I did not deserve this treatment. I'm now forced to find another accountant and pay for the same work all over again. I'm exploring options to report him and recover my money. This experience has been deeply frustrating and stressful, and I hope no one else has to go through something similar. read more

BUYER BEWARE! I paid this business in October 2025 for tax preparation services, but the service was not completed and my money was not refunded! We hired KFN Accounting & Financial, LLC to prepare our 2024 business and personal tax returns. At the beginning, Kyle was attentive, communicative, and appeared to be a strong fit for our business needs. We paid his invoice in November 2025 in the amount of $2,250. After payment, communication became extremely difficult. Weeks would go by without any response to calls, emails, or messages. At one point, we went approximately three weeks with no contact from him at all. Due to the complete lack of communication and the sensitive financial information he had access to, we filed a police report with our local police department. Only after law enforcement contacted him did he respond. KFN eventually completed our business tax return toward the end of the year. He informed us that he would then use the K‑1 to complete our personal tax return. Despite stating he would be available and follow through, he again stopped responding entirely. We were forced to have the detective reach out a second time. KFN replied briefly, stating that filings were "frozen until January 26th." We waited until after that date and attempted to contact him again, but he once again became unreachable. The detective attempted to contact him a third time with no success. We have been patient and cooperative throughout this process. Despite paying in full and despite his repeated assurances, KFN has failed to complete the services we hired him for and has repeatedly disappeared for long periods of time. At this point, he has completely stopped communicating, and we are now forced to hire a new accountant to complete our tax filings. We are extremely frustrated and concerned that other consumers may experience the same issues. We have filed a complaint with the BBB they are aware of the pattern of non‑responsiveness, unfulfilled services, and the distress this has caused our business and family. read more

Had a great intro call with Kyle. Seemed like a good guy and lasted almost an hour, but unfortunately he never followed up and calls/emails/texts on my end went unanswered for weeks. Not quite sure what happened, but disappointing to never get a response. read more

Strong go getter energy, helping with a mistake with automated tax software. Very responsive and helpful.

I can't recommend KFN Financial enough! Kyle and his team are absolutely fantastic. They completely transformed the way we handle our finances & Taxes. As a startup, we were overwhelmed with all the financial complexities. KFN took care of everything - from setting up sound bookkeeping systems to providing ongoing strategic advice. Their expertise in both accounting and business consulting has been invaluable. Plus, they're just super friendly and easy to work with. I feel so much more confident about our financial future now. If you're looking for a top-notch financial partner for a great value, look no further than KFN Financial. read more
