I had been with MOTA for many years but left after my 2024 returns were completed. They did both a…read morebusiness return and a personal return. They are very pleasant people, but not easy to deal with. Additionally, they are expensive. They charged me $140 to produce a single 1099-MISC, that I supplied all information for! Their new system and their demands became too difficult to deal with. Their questions seemed like audit questions rather than tax questions. And questions they should've asked about my taxes, they NEVER asked. They assume you know what should be submitted to them, and don't ask you any questions about what wasn't submitted. For example, in 2024 with the Mountain Fire in my neighborhood they should've asked about catastrophic losses. They know my address and know I live in the middle of many houses that were burned to the ground. They should've asked but never did. Fortunately, the question was asked for my 2025 return. Lack of competence or lack of leadership? Not sure which, but glad I switched.

And, since my father's passing wherein I inherited the house, I started utilizing the services of John Elhai, too. Staff at MOTA is exemplary, providing top quality tax services. They are extremely knowledgeable in what they do, and actively communicate with me to find and ensure the best return. Furthermore, they are extremely courteous, patient, and professional. I strongly recommend Mission Oaks Tax and Accounting!

We spent several years as clients there. The communication was never strong and we would typically…read morebe waiting on the team to get back to us. They would tell us they were swamped and so they needed to file an extension on our behalf. We trusted them to do this. And then some of our questions, we had to follow up several times with them. We felt quite disregarded. We decided to move onto a new firm this year and now a year later they keep sending us bills - for the questions they answered for us (during the time when we were clients) and an extension they filed for us (when we were clients). We ended up paying them but we would NEVER use them again. NEVER.

I was told they do not want to simply do my tax return, they are looking for a much bigger client that owns their own business or is a big baller.

I found Jacobs & Jacobs after an online search of local accountants in Thousand Oaks. They had good…read morereviews so I decided to set up a consultation. They set up a phone call with Massimo to help me out with a financial issue related to stock options from my former employer. Massimo has always been an utmost professional - he has listened to all of my concerns, always offering honest and helpful advice. We were able to get my issues with the IRS sorted and we have come back since to continue filing our taxes with him. There was even a follow up bill related to the same issue mentioned before, and Massimo was able to spot an error the IRS made, cutting our amount owed in half! A couple quick notes: I was not paid for, nor did I receive any kind of discount in exchange for this review. I'm a real human and this is actually my firsthand experience! I say this because all these reviews start to sound the same and generally fake over time, but I am an actual real person! While Massimo did politely request I write a review, I was more than happy to (of my own volition), since he has been such a great resource. I'm glad to help more people learn of his excellent services!
