I was referred to Eli Business Services from a friend and made an appointment with Eli. He is very well versed in both California tax laws and out of state tax laws. We finished in a short time and I received an excellent return. As a proactive measure we looked ahead into what I might pay in taxes for 2026 and he recommends some options that will yield a successful return in the upcoming year, which no other tax service I have used before offered that. I left feeling very confident my taxes were done right and already decided I will employ his services in the years to come. I highly recommend Eli Business Services for tax preparation, bookkeeping, and any other business services needed. Eli is trusted, reliable, and efficient.

My elderly parents had their taxes done with Elijah, this year for the first time, after getting…read moresubpar service from their previous tax preparer.

When we had relatively easy taxes to file, they were great; offered excellent personal attention…read moreand did our taxes quickly and efficiently. But when our taxes become more complex--many more deductions and having to pay quarterly state and federal taxes as independent contractors, they were not up for the job--didn't return phone calls, and took weeks to file out taxes which needed to be redone. We ended up having to pay a more specialized tax preparer to straighten out what became an expensive mess. If you need a bookkeeping/simple tax preparation business, this is an excellent choice for you. But if your taxes are more difficult, pay the extra money for an accounting firm. The one we chose even had financial advisors who helped us choose the best way for us to keep inflation for eating up our savings, with no addition cost for the service.

In January 2025, my former tax preparer (of over 15-years) had made the decision to "close-up shop"…read moreand begin a new business venture. While I was happy for him (as I believe in doing what one loves and the rest will fall into place), I was also disappointed because this meant finding someone new to handle my taxes. Yet, as a woman of faith I trusted that God would help me find a new tax preparer. . . After a two-week search, I am very thankful to have chosen Ms. Rebecca Barrett. I'm old school when it comes to my taxes so I appreciate tax preparers who are willing to meet face-to-face (especially the first time) to review my documentation (i.e. my prepared spreadsheets). I don't like the idea of sending my documentation to a business via email (even with a secured site) or dropping them off to an office. When it comes to business, money, and/or financial planning, I want to sit across from a seasoned professional and have a conversation. Ms. Barrett was on-time, courteous, knowledgable, friendly, and patient. Those are just some of the superlatives that I would attribute to her upon our first meeting. Now that my taxes are done for 2024, I can celebrate and enjoy the rest of my Spring Break!! Thank you, Ms. Barrett, you are a blessing! Clap, clap!!! :).

This year we called her office early in the year to file our taxes as usual. They told us to wait. They said they weren't due until October because of the time extension due to the storm disaster relief. So we waited per their instructions, even though we were ready for her to do them. We dropped them off before the 15th of September at her office thinking they have a month to prepare. They called back after they had been dropped off and told us Barbara cannot do our taxes because we aren't on her "list." I asked, What this "list" I have never heard of? She kept repeating that we are not on the "list" so they are not going to do our taxes. And, by the way, "your corporate taxes are due tomorrow, but Barbara isn't going to do them because you aren't on the 'list.'" We waited this late to file because they told us to. We never file late. Now she will not do our personal, nor corporate taxes because we are not on some "list." Very unprofessional. We have followed up with phone calls and messages, Crickets!

At every point he tried to make jokes that purposefully made me and my friend (both women) uncomfortable. Also, I was told I can show up at any time but when I did I was met with an extremely rude "uhhh I have an appointment right now".
