A few weeks ago my parents sat me down and explained that I was now an adult. Apparently once you…read moreare a home owner everything changes. They informed me that I would need to get my finances figured out, start making sense of my tax information and get my life in order. I was not ready. One of the first things on my to do list was to talk to an accountant. Before I went to Hara Yoshida, I couldn't even spell the word accountant much less understand what they do and how they would help me. I found this place through a friend of a friend of a friend's sister. (Didn't see that one coming now did you?) Fast forward: I made an appointment for a 30 minute consultation with Mr. Yoshida for $75 and instantly I'm terrified. I'm not going to understand a word this guy is saying. Should I bring a dictionary? His name sounds really serious and what if he thinks I'm insane. How do I even dress for this? Is a ball gown too much or not enough? I take some deep breaths and proceed. I made sure to jot down a lot of notes as my parents were talking and I write down exactly 438 questions about my personal taxes and tax questions in general hoping that Mr. Yoshida and I can get through at least 1 of them. Just a few include: *What is a 10/99 and a W-2? *As a contracted employee which do I need? *As a teacher How do I claim private services with families I work with? *How does gift tax work? *Whats the difference between a standard deduction and an itemized deduction. *Can I reduce my home owner taxes? How? Now that I'm even more confused than when I began, I step into the wework building where the accounting office resides and immediately feel calm. Mr. Yoshida, whose first name is Narumi welcomes me in with a warm smile and gentle handshake. There's a sophisticated and professional quality to his tone and mannerisms, but I also feel like I could tell this man my deepest fears without feeling the least bit judged. One day... I'm going to pause on the accounting stuff for a second and just say that this wework place is really cool. The space feels more like a cool hipster hangout than an actual office space. I mean yea, there are countless spaces with meeting rooms, small offices, medium offices, large offices, mini phone both offices and a lot of water cooler stations, but you gotta stop by and check out the rest of it. There's a snack bar, pinball and other random arcade games, tons of board games and card sets, shuffleboard, puzzles, comfy couches and beer on tap at ALL HOURS, EVERY DAY of the week! How does anyone get any work done here? Ok, back to the serious stuff. So, after my mini tour, Narumi (I'm on a first name basis at this point) eased my worries by answering all of my questions. This guy is efficient! Not only that, he explained everything until he was certain I understood. No dictionary necessary. I couldn't believe that in 30 minutes I was able to get a full understanding of all of my accounting needs. Thank you Hara Yoshida Accounting!! Now my parents think I'm a real live grown up!

My regular accountant have left the job to focus on her own business and I needed someone who can support me with complexed ( to me ) tax filing.

I ended up amending past 6 years of taxes for reporting my foreign income correctly, but I feel much confident and relieved. I recommend Hara Yoshida office to any one looking for an accountant.

They eventually were both pulled aside by some lady in which that lady came back to the front to see what I needed. She was beyond rude and aggressive with her approach. I asked one question and she raised her tone as if we were in a heated debate, keep in mind all I did was sat down to wait, and asked I a calm manner if I could be helped with my issue during my scheduled appointment today. I get it it's tax day week and everyone is getting in late but if you can't maintain a professional attitude then find a job that doesn't involve talking to clients. I wish I could have had a higher up witness this cause it's a joke a of a H&R office. Get your staff retrained and stop hiring people off the street that aren't qualified to work with peoples finances just cause your low staffed.
