This is the second year in a row I have taken my taxes to MASH. Ando is one the best in the business. He's patient, honest, knows his stuff and works fast. In 2015 I had pretty tricky situation regarding fraudulent activity found in my 2013 return. A previous tax guy in another stated prepared and filed my 2013 and stole $20,000 from the IRS. The scammer did it in such a way that he made it seem as though I personally filed my own return, wrote $55k off for a truck I never owned, for a business I never operated. I came to Mash accounting again because of the great job Ando did on my 2014 return. Ando was able to go through the old filings and noticed some discrepancies that the average person would not have noticed, if they weren't patient or cared about their client. Long story short, I was cleared of the $20,000 tax debt the IRS said I owed. Mash Accounting does excellent work and Ando is the man!! I highly recommend them. read more

Quality resourceful kind team of people and professionals who care! Not only the CPA we see but the entire staff is involved and very helpful! We personally work with Marina Babaian at MASH and she's made taxes feel easy! From personal to business financials and taxes she's gone above and beyond! read more

Great accouting firm. Great price for all the help and expertise they offered. Parking was a lil bit of a hassle but beautiful office.

We have been using MASH for a few years now and could not be happier! Cynthia is incredible and the whole team is responsive, comprehensive, and professional. They make sure their clients are well-informed so we can make the best decisions for our financial health possible. I sleep better at night knowing MASH has taken care of everything down to the smallest detail. read more

MASH has been my go-to for tax services over the past 3 years. They are very knowledgeable & friendly. Most importantly, they are responsive to all of my needs and take the time to explain anything I may not understand. Their rates are more than justified considering the level of service that you receive. Hamlet is my CPA & I would 100% recommend reaching out to him for all of your tax planning and preparation needs. He knows all of the ins and outs for individual tax returns as well as the numerous business tax requirements. Grateful for their assistance over the years and look forward to working with them for decades to come. read more

Mash accounting is a very professional team. They help us and advise us throughout the entire process. They are very patient, friendly, and helpful. We recommend them to do your taxes. read more

I had a 1:00 PM appointment with one of their accountants. After waiting 15 minutes, someone at the front desk told me he'd be at least another 15 minutes late. Honestly, it seemed like he forgot about the appointment altogether. They offered to reschedule me or let me see someone else, but I was so frustrated that I just walked out without saying anything. It really felt like they didn't value my time. read more

I've been working with this firm for over 10 years. They have grown bigger and have become even better than before. Always professional, on time, and whenever I have a question/problem the response time is just unbelievable. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. Especially those who have LLC, SCorp, etc read more

One of the best decisions I've ever made was to go with MASH accounting. Hamlet has been great to work with. Attentive, always responsive and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend! Thank you MASH read more

This review is way overdue. MASH has been my CPA for a little over 2 years now. Specifically, I work with Vagram and Anahit. Both are incredibly meticulous, patient, and thorough. Three important traits when looking for a tax advisor. When I first came to mash, they offered to review my previously filed taxes and amended them saving me even more money and set me straight for the future. During COVID, they put on webinars advising all their clients regarding the SBA loans and how to apply to ensure approval. They advised how best to structure my law partnership and also handle my bookkeeping monthly. Anytime I have a question, they're quick to answer with a thorough response. Mash is the right and frankly, only choice when it comes to cpa firms. I'm so thankful for mash. read more

I've been working with Ando at Mash for some 6 years now. He's not just my accountant but a member of my team. Anytime I feel a bit overwhelmed or discouraged with my situation, (almost always unwarranted) one call to Ando not only alleviates my worries but elevates me. He has an answer to any concern I have. read more

Been working with MASH for five years now, and Vagram and the team have been hands down the most responsive and sharp accounting firm I've ever had for my small biz and personal taxes. They are quick to respond, helpful explaining issues, and awesome using the latest tools and technology to get things done quicker. They handle taxes for both my small S-Corp (5 employees) and personal, and got our whole QuickBooks Online setup improved right away, as well as helping with tax strategy. read more

I've been working with Cynthia for three years now and can't say enough about how attentive, timely, and helpful she is. Navigating my personal and corporate taxes used to be a dreadful experience, and shes helped me navigate the processes with ease. Highly recommend working with Mash accounting. read more

I have been a mash accounting client for over 7 years and they have been tremendous in guiding me through that time. Absolutely recommend using their firm. I recommend Hamlet and or Vagram, but I am sure their entire staff is just as well prepared and caring read more

Used MASH Accounting and Consulting LLP's services for my personal tax return this year, as things were on the complicated side and I needed it to be done professionally. The experience was nothing short of ideal. Andranik (or Ando for short) was knowledgable, professional and up to date with all the new laws and regulations. He was accommodating and made sure to cover every single question I had in details. His response time was phenomenal and I was always clear on what the next steps were, what was required from me and what I was to expect. Will definitely recommend this firm and Andranik in particular based on the outstanding service that I have received. Thank you ! read more

Such a great experience at MASH Accounting, and specifically with Hamlet! I recently opened up my own private practice and Hamlet has been a wonderful help navigating all of the ins and outs of having a business. He is always available to answer a question that pops up, makes time for check-ins & overall has been a pleasure to work with. Thank you Hamlet & MASH for making this an enjoyable process & helping to strengthen confidence in the process! read more

MASH Accounting has been very good at explaining all my options, especially my advisor Hamlet has been patient with me and has met all my expectations. I appreciate all the help! read more

Great experience working with MASH accounting. Special thanks to Hamlet S. , CPA for always being on top of my business and personal accounting matters, responding pretty much immediately to my calls or emails, and explaining complex issues the way you can easily comprehend it regardless of your field of expertise. Will strongly recommend. read more

Accounting firms like MASH are hard to come by. Professionalism with a wealth of knowledge, Vagram and Hamlet have been there for us the last 2 years. They provide answers to our questions consistently, not once or twice a year. Looking forward to working with the guys as we are growing in a rapid pace, wouldn't want any other firm but MASH to help us out. read more

Ando is amazing. He was referred to me by one of my great friends and I'm very thankful to him. Thus far Ando has created a couple entities for me and has taken over one of my long-term establishments and he has been providing Tax Solutions and filings. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient and personable. Even though I am in the middle of a refinance and I keep prolonging his services and creating interruptions, he has always maintained his professionalism and has provided me excellent services. Their office looks great and everyone on the staff is polite and professional. Thank you all. read more

If I could give 1,000,000 stars, I most certainly would. We were referred to Norvan at MASH through our mortgage lender, and I can honestly say it's been LIFE-CHANGING.. For the first time ever, my wife and I (each business owners, LLCs, filing as S-Corps) hired an accounting firm last year, will not name them, but they screwed up A LOT of things on our end, and thank GOD for Norvan, when filing this year with him, he found so many errors when looking back we are now saving thousands from the year before, when we amend. Aside from the money savings, I can say simply the experience of meeting with Norvan in person and collaborating with him over phone and email since our face-to-face meeting, he's been out of this world extraordinary. We couldn't find a sitter, and had to bring our 18 month old, and he and his team were so lovely and accommodating, made us feel so welcome! As if we were going to a close friend's house for a favor.. it was AMAZING!! They are SO professional, SO knowledgable, and SO quick with everything, they always let us know where we are in the process. And guess what, they are (I believe) 100% PAPER-LESS!!! Their office is SO clean and organized and beautiful, honestly I wish I could stay there and work on that beautiful black couch a few times a week.. No clutter, no stacks of ugly paper on the desks.. instead, they embrace that it's 2017 and everything is on the cloud, encrypted and safe, just like I like to do at home. I cannot say enough good things about Norvan and his team. MASH will be getting our business for the rest of our lives, happily. Thank you so much for everything, we seriously LOVE YOU!!!! read more

Superb CPA firm. Within one consultation and two weeks of working with MASH, I went from not knowing what steps to take to forming a business to having an LLC of my own and feeling confident about the direction of my company. Norvan took the time to explain the differences between an LLC and an S-Corporation, what documents I'd need to file, when, and other ramifications and write-offs with me. Communication through email was always prompt and attentive. If you're thinking about creating an entity, by all means give MASH an opportunity to tell you what they can do. Their fees are reasonable, and all of the anxiety and hand-wringing I had at the beginning of my journey to entrepreneurship was erased thanks to their clarification and experience. Money absolutely well spent, and I will continue to do business with them well into the future. read more

I've used other accountants in the past for personal and business filings. Overall my experience in the past has been good. Recently, my partner and I needed to file for a a new corporation. A friend of ours recommended using MASH's services to file our corporation documents. Their knowledge and expertise made the entire process easy. My experience with MASH Accounting is nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend MASH Accounting. read more

Not writing lot of reviews in general but after a few years working with MASH I wanted to take the time to express how Vagram and his team are the solution for both personal and corporate taxes, on-time and accurate bookkeeping, give friendly advise on legal structure, are quite knowledgeable on international corporate level, are very sharp, patient, responsive and courteous, and last but not least are technologically organized... Did I miss anything? read more

Very professional and knowledgeable. They have been doing my taxes for the second year and I am very happy working with them. Vagram is one of the best accountants I have ever worked with. I would highly recommend. read more

Couldn't be more appreciative of all MASH Accounting and Norvan's help. My wife and I are very small clients for Norvan, but he treats us with so much respect. He is extremely thorough and helpful with all that we ask for. read more

If any accounting firm deserves 5 Stars its these guys...They're patient, easy to work with and exceptional at what they do. For many years my family and I used an accountant in the Bay Area, seemed like the practical thing to do since my family business is in Berkeley, but now that I've worked with this firm I cant imagine having to find another accountant ever again. I seriously cant say enough...Thanks for the hard work and thanks for not making the distance an obstacle :) read more

We have a mid size business with over 150 employees and were looking to find CPAs that actually knew what they were doing. Our research lead us to find MASH Accounting on Yelp and wow were we in for a surprise. MASH has not 1 but 2 CPAs! From our conversations with them, they were both previously from two of the "Big 4" accounting firms in the world for tax, audit and business consulting services. Since we deal with large numbers, we figured we needed an accounting company knowledgeable to handle the issues we might have - so we hired them. Well...their work is not just great, it's superb! Their customer service and quick responses made us like them from the get go. Their overall tax knowledge was above average and their bookkeeping resources were technologically advanced to say the least. We love the fact that we can communicate and get everything done electronically. Not to exaggerate, but their bookkeeping and monthly business analysis reports have well made us 15 times more than what we are currently paying for their monthly service. The number keeps increasing every month - A big THANK YOU for that guys! Lastly, their fees were normal but we felt the return we got on our investment made their work priceless. We will highly recommend MASH Accounting to anyone in need of a new CPA firm. read more

I was referred to Norvan and I couldn't have been more pleased!! Switching accountants isn't always easy, but I knew it was the right choice after consulting with him over the phone before our meeting. Norvan and his team are prompt, are knowledgeable, and pointed me in the right direction. Most importantly, they use secure technology to make my life easy and documented properly. read more

We have been looking for a knowledgeable/experienced accountant for a few years. A friend of mine referred me to Vahram at Mash accounting. After meeting him I was very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. Now he handles all of our accounting, business, personal, payroll. I'm referring all of my friend and fellow business owners to Vahram knowing they will be in good hands at MASH accounting. read more

Ando is the best around very responsible and he has a great knowledge. I have been doing my taxes with him last two years and he is the best. Thanks read more

I've been using mash accounting for seven years and I am very happy with the service provided. MASH Accounting is always detailed oriented and done on a timely basis. I would recommend Mash Accounting to anyone who is looking for a reliable trust worthy accounting service. read more

I recently contacted this CPA firm regarding a few complex tax questions I had that others were unable to assist with. I was referred to them by an old colleague of mine who was happy with his experience. The gentleman here were very helpful, assisted me with all my questions and issues. They sat down with me and went through numerous hypothetical scenarios. They are very knowledgeable and their pricing is very reasonable. They also offered consulting on various other ventures I inquired about. I am very happy with their service and would recommend them to my fellow yelpers. read more

Just completed filing my taxes with mash accounting firm and was so pleased! I thought filling would be a grueling process, but not with the CPAs at MASH. My CPA was smart, hardworking and wouldn't settle until he got me my maximum return. I used turbo tax to compare and I am so happy I went to MASH. read more

We were referred to MASH by a friend and decided to try them. Vagram was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the difference between an LLC and an S-corporation. He was very helpful and pointed us to the right direction. We highly recommend MASH Accounting for all your business and personal needs. read more

After receiving several incredible recommendations from friends we finally gave a call to Vagram at MASH. My husband and I are both medical professionals and extremely meticulous in choosing our CPA. We decided to switch to Vagram and it's been the best decision we have ever made. He's beyond knowledgeable, incredible, really knows his stuff and just the most down to earth guy!!! We can not say enough great words about him and his team! He helped us soooo much for everything. Even during the COVID-19 shutdown, he was there to help and guide us each step of the way for all the SBA and PPP loans. We can't thank him enough. We are so glad to find our CPA for life! read more

I was referred to MASH Accounting through a friend and have been very satisfied with their work. At first I was hesitant since I had not heard of this boutique firm but once I met with the partners and spoke to them thoroughly about my entity creation options I was convinced. MASH is a boutique firm and their pricing structure is definitely very competitive, if not the best compared to a few other firms I contacted. In addition, the partners I was working with were very experienced (probably because they both used to work for one of the top 4 accounting firms prior to opening MASH Accounting). All in all, if you want the best quality of work, great customer service and very affordable pricing then I would highly recommend MASH. read more

Typically, I am very detailed and streamlined, I have switched tax consultants and companies each single year, namely because none are decent enough to repeat business. However, MASH was surprisingly reliable, fast, and efficient. The consultant was very informative and up-to-date on all things happening in the world relative to my dollars. The prep and filing of everything was so easy, and the price was just a definite bonus. This is one company who will definitely have my business for next season. I have already made plans for my family and friends to switch over next year. Can't go wrong with this one. read more

Even though I live in Norcal, a Socal friend of mine kept raving about Mash, so I decided to give them a try. I enlisted Vagram's help in trying to recover money the IRS owed me from 4 years ago. I'd gone to two other accountants who weren't able to recover that money for me, but Vagram did. My husband and I used him again for our 2013 taxes and couldn't be happier with how easy the process was. I've had taxes done by people in the same city as me, and it's never been as easy as this was. I can't recommend this accounting firm enough. These guys are top notch and actually get the job done right. Thank you!!!!!!!!! read more
