This firm went from exceptional to completely unprofessional overnight…read more I stayed with them for years solely because of Sam, who provided outstanding service. After the ownership change, it's clear that level of care is gone. What replaced it is a rigid, impersonal system that treats clients like transactions rather than relationships. They failed to notify clients of a major policy change regarding tax extensions until just days before the deadline--putting me at risk of non-compliance. When I raised concerns, their response was essentially: "This is our policy now, and if you don't like it, go somewhere else." No accountability. No attempt to fix the situation. No access to leadership. Just scripted responses from a support team. For a firm that benefited from years of loyalty and referrals, this is an incredibly poor way to treat clients. Avoid. UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO OWNER : Your response proves my point. After years of automatically handling my extensions, you changed the process right before a deadline, offered no real support, and told me to pay $240 or figure it out myself. Had I not followed up, I could have been penalized -- and now you're trying to turn it around and frame it as my fault by calling me "not engaged." After years of loyalty and referrals, this wasn't a transition -- it was a downgrade to a transactional model.

Chris at FlexTax has been my tax advisor for about three years now, and I can't recommend him…read morehighly enough. He's incredibly thorough and detail-oriented - he double and even triple checks everything to make sure your return is accurate and that he has all the right information. He's also very responsive and flexible with scheduling, which has made it easy to fit tax meetings around a busy workday. Chris really shines with more complex situations. He specializes in startups and equity compensation (ISOs, RSUs, etc.), as well as investment portfolios, so if you work at a startup or have a more complicated tax situation, you're in great hands. He takes the time to walk through everything, explains complex issues clearly, and makes the whole process feel much less stressful. He goes above and beyond by looking at prior years and making amendments if necessary to put you in a better position for future tax years. I originally started working with Chris based on a friend's recommendation, and after three years as a client, I'm very glad I did. If you're a startup employee or founder, or anyone dealing with equity and investments, I highly recommend Chris at FlexTax.

I was very happy with Melissa until both my amended and my tax return was rejected…read more For my amended return, the form was filled out incorrectly and I had to spend more money for a more involved return at the federal level. I had to call the IRS more than 4x in order to resolve it and it's still in process. My tax return, Melissa first gave an estimate that we would get money back and this return was rejected. Unfortunately her software was malfunctioning so we ended up owing thousands. She submitted the return prior to us reviewing together and we had to file an amended return. I had to call the IRS since the amended differs in the amount owed compared to the actual return. I wish I just did my taxes myself it would've saved me so much headache. I have spent 20+ hours with Melissa and the IRS to look over the paperwork compared to if I did it myself. Throughout the process I have found that I'm largely responsible for obtaining info and resolving issues directly with the IRS. I'm very disappointed in the quality of service

Used Rudy for a notarization on an affidavit. First visit, he flagged that my name needed to be in…read morethe body of the document, not just on the signature line. Fair point -- I went back to the attorney who drafted it, had them add my name in the body, and confirmed the document complied with California notary law . Came back later in the day with the revised document. Rudy looked at it and said "something seems off." That was the entire explanation. No identification of what was off, no specific provision he objected to, no questions about my ID or the underlying transaction. Just refused. Took the same document to another commissioned California notary that same day. They reviewed it, verified my ID, administered the oath, and notarized it without any issue. Two visits, two trips back to my attorney for revisions he requested, and ultimately a vague refusal with no actionable feedback. A notary's job is to verify identity and witness an oath. If specific concerns exist, communicate them clearly so they can be addressed. "Something seems off" after you've already made the customer revise the document once isn't professional -- it's wasting their time.

We committed to working together, I felt they were unresponsive once we started uploading docs…read moreetc., and they then suddenly told us they'll no longer work with us with no explanation and didn't respond to any follow-up questions. We're now left with very little time to find a replacement and we'll probably lose a lot of money as a result of this surprise from them. Facts: we agreed to work together at the start of this year. They shared a portal for us to upload docs into. It took us a few weeks to get started uploading those docs but we're still within their purported time-frame in mid-February. We had some access issues that, for myself, they fixed; that was not fixed for my wife and we had to bug them several times in the last week before our scheduled tax prep meeting. They then reached out to me, saying that they can no longer work with us and that they'll delete all the files I uploaded to their vault. When I asked them why, they did not respond.

I've been working with Akram at All About Your Taxes since 2021, and I can honestly say he is the…read morebest tax professional I've ever had. Before finding him, I was going to a lady in Chinatown because her prices were cheaper, but I quickly learned you get the kind of service you pay for. Mistakes were made on my taxes, and I needed someone reliable and knowledgeable to fix them. That's when I found All About Your Taxes, and Akram helped me amend the errors and get everything corrected. Since then, I've stayed with him every year because he is extremely thorough, detail oriented, and professional. The entire process is always smooth, seamless, and stress free. Akram truly goes above and beyond. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, answers all of my questions, and always acknowledges my emails. Akram gives great advice that is tailored to my situation. I always feel confident that my taxes are being handled correctly. I am so happy I found Akram and I highly recommend him and the team at All About Your Taxes.

We have used BOL for two years and decided after last year it wasn't for us. The first year we had…read morean alright experience with Gary but weren't able to get comprehensive answers for the questions we had around real estate. The next year we were essentially assigned to someone else because who we saw previously was no longer accepting new clients...but we weren't new. Reaching whoever they assign you to work with is nearly impossible. After an initial apt weeks went by for very basic things and I was calling or emailing every few days in a panic as the deadline to file quickly approached. Eventually an extension had to be requested when all needed documents had been completed in Feb. The back and forth email and call correspondence was time consuming and ridiculous. We kept having to reach out to check the status and after weeks would get a response to schedule yet another appointment. Not personable, not friendly, poor communication. They likely take on too many clients because they care about profit over people.

I can't recommend Jon Van Wormer highly enough! Tax season used to be one of the most stressful…read moretimes of the year for me, but working with him has completely changed that. He made the entire process so much easier to understand and handled everything with such professionalism, patience, and clarity. From start to finish, Jon broke down all the confusing forms, explained everything in simple terms, and ensured I was getting every deduction and credit I was entitled to. What used to take me days of frustration now takes just a couple of smooth, stress-free meetings. It honestly felt like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. If you want someone who's knowledgeable, trustworthy, and makes income tax less complicated (and even kind of enjoyable!), Jon at Liberty tax is the one to contact. I'll definitely be returning year after year. Also, to anyone who cares, I recommend not to wait til the tax deadline. I was stressed free in February while everyone was scrambling to get theirs done in April.
