He is measured, knowledgeable, and somehow totally calm and pleasant during crazy tax season. He is so unlike any other accountant we have had. He gives great guidance without being overbearing, he is really pleasant to work with; his desk is actually organized. Have you ever seen that in an accountant's office in April?! He is the best!

Communication was virtually nonexistent. After the initial conversation with Charles, we never…read morespoke to another human being until I picked up our returns from the receptionist -- and this involved a business, a trust, and four separate tax returns. Not once did anyone contact us with questions, explanations, or comments throughout the process. The end result was that we paid more in taxes this year than we have in the previous 35 years combined. If you prefer no communication and want to feel like just another file number, this may be the firm for you. However, if you expect responsiveness, guidance, or even basic interaction, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Keep in mind that any conversation with a staff member will cost you $350 per hour, even for something as simple as correcting a misspelled name , with billing applied accordingly.

My husband's long time CPA was ill and died in the middle of trying to deal with the IRS. The IRS was demanding repayment of more than $50,000 (that my husband's CPA said was not owed) and I was a basket case. I began making monthly installments to the IRS and was looking for help. Enter Susan. I found her online and read the remarkable reviews. I called her and she immediately began unraveling my husband's business records. It took some time (as all things do with the IRS) but Susan resolved the issue and the IRS refunded all the money I had paid to them. It was great to have the money refunded, but even better to have the IRS out of my life. Susan is kind, understanding and absolutely knows her stuff. She removed so much stress from my life that I can never thank her enough.

Before I met John Worden a few years ago, each year it felt like our tax return was a shot in the dark. We never really knew if we would owe money or get a return.

Everyone at the office is also friendly and professional. I highly recommend!

When I received a notice that the IRS was putting a LEVY on me for not filing a w-2 in 2014 I knew that it would be a quick fix and that Dona would, as promised , fix the problem. She never responded,after that promise to fix the problem,to emails nor calls. This is a level of incompetence that I rarely see in business. I have hired an attorney as well I am in the process of reporting her to the CBA- California board of accountancy. People reading this should do the same. Any thing to get people that take money from clients and then don't do the work promised should be reported to authorities to make a decision to revoke her license. This CEO votes for revocation of license.
