I came to them with a pretty overwhelming and highly complex tax situation that required digging through multiple years of past transcripts. Roslyn didn't just handle it; she completely took the stress out of the process. She was incredibly thorough--catching missing documents, identifying potential deductions I would have never known about, and actually taking the time to outline a solid tax strategy for my future filings. What truly makes Roslyn different from other CPAs I've encountered is her patience. She has this amazing ability to take complicated tax jargon and break it down so it actually makes sense. Her experience and track record speak for themselves, but it's her personable approach to getting the work done that makes her the best in the industry. I couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend her to anyone!

She has always made the entire process simple, clear, and stress free. Taxes can be overwhelming, but Roslyn has a way of explaining everything so it actually makes sense. She is always friendly, polite, and extremely knowledgeable. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and takes pride in what she does. Every year she is consistent, professional, and efficient, and I always leave feeling confident that everything was handled properly. It's rare to find someone this reliable and easy to work with. I'm very grateful to have found her, and I will continue coming to Roslyn for many years to come. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and excellent at what they do.

    Lina and her team of tax professionals are the best in business. They go above and beyond of what…read moreis expected or even asked for. I came to Lina's tax firm in 2012 after leaving a low cost, budget tax preparer. I complained to her about the shoddy work my previous tax preparer was doing and she immediately became suspicious. Without my request and to my surprise she offered to review my previous 2 years tax returns. The tax amendments resulted in a return of over $3,500! Ever since then I have relied on Lina's every tax year. If you are looking for a budget tax preparer then Lina's Tax Team may not be the right fit for you. However, if you're looking for tax expertise and knowledge then look no further. She is just as compassionate as she is knowledgeable. She takes the time to understand your personal situation and goals. She understands that when you're exposing your entire financials that it becomes personal and not just a business transaction.

    Lina is something special…read more I first met Lina in 2012. I've grown my financial literacy a bit over the years. But I kid you not, that first 15 minute conversation with Lina changed my life. She is a brilliant, genuine, caring person bursting with insight about managing finances. Financial planning is life planning. What-are-your-deepest-hopes-and-dreams-planning. Oh yeah, she & her team file a heck of a tax return. At a certain point, it's not how much a 3rd-party tax preparer costs you -- it's about finding every dollar you're legally entitled to. LET'S ROCK TAX SEASON!

If you need help, make sure it isn't right before the deadlines, giving time to prepare what is needed. Will definitely be going back to Yan even if it isn't about the end of year tax deadline. Thank you so much Yan!

Since I had only been using TurboTax before, I didn't have much experience in working with professional tax advisors and I contacted Yan after reading some reviews on Google/Yelp. The experience of using her for my CPA was completely different compared to the previous one I had. She was very detailed and meticulous in checking each detail of my situation, and also didn't pretend to know everything - if there was an issue that she wasn't clear about, she didn't hesitate to look up the necessary IRS documentation to make sure that we weren't making any mistakes. Even after our meetings in-person going over documents, she would also follow-up and double-check to make sure that I hadn't inadvertently overlooked something (and she did find a bunch of details that I had filled in incorrectly as well through this process!) She was also more interested in making sure that I understood the process and what each document was for, rather than just taking everything into her own hands and just asking me to "rubber-stamp" documents. I really appreciate her spending the effort to help with my tax literacy. Would definitely recommend Yan if you're looking for a reliable CPA who looks out for your interests, rather than just treating you as yet another client!

    Zero Stars! I chose…read moreSarada Majumder, CPA after seeing her highly recommended with excellent ratings on Yelp and Google. Many clients rave about her professionalism, thoroughness, and reliability over the years. Sadly, my experience was the complete opposite and one of the most frustrating and costly I've ever had with a tax professional. We hired her specifically because of those glowing reviews, but she completely ghosted us throughout the entire process. We sent all requested documents promptly and followed up repeatedly via email, often with no response for weeks. When she did finally reply, it was only with excuse after excuse: she was out of the country, then claimed she never received our documents (despite our delivery confirmations), followed by more vague delays and no progress. She explicitly promised to provide regular updates during the process so we would know where things stood. She never once followed through on that promise. As a result, she did not complete any of the agreed upon work, our tax return was never filed on time, and we were hit with extra IRS penalties and interest that we could have easily avoided with a reliable preparer. Worse, I've seen a troubling pattern in some of her other reviews: when clients raise similar issues about poor communication, delays, or unfinished work, her responses show a clear pattern of lying, downplaying legitimate complaints, making excuses, or outright denying problems instead of owning up to them. Do not trust Sarada Majumder with your taxes or accounting. What appears to be a highly recommended professional based on online reviews can turn into a nightmare of unresponsiveness, broken promises, and financial consequences. This was an expensive and stressful mistake. Save yourself the hassle, penalties, and frustration by choosing someone who actually communicates and delivers on their commitments. I fully expect her to respond to this review with more lies, made up justifications, and rationalizations for her unethical practices, just as she has done with other negative reviews. I will be filing IRS Form 14157 A (Tax Return Preparer Fraud or Misconduct Affidavit) along with Form 14157 to report her misconduct to the IRS Return Preparer Office. This includes her failure to file the return, unresponsiveness, broken promises for updates, provision of false excuses, and causing us direct financial harm through avoidable IRS penalties and interest.

    I have been going to Sarada for my taxes for the past 4 years. She was responsive and did a great…read morejob at first and then all of a sudden she stopped returning my phone calls and responding to my emails. I still don't have completed tax return for 2023! This is horrible customer service! I have already contacted the BBB. If I have to pay a penalty to the IRS I will be livid! Lawyer up Sarada!
