I met Ms. Blair on the recommendation of two people (John Peek and Mike Chism) I deeply respected…read more At the time, I did not understand her services or how she could help me. All I heard was "you will have a better business" (eyes rolling) I "heard" her, but did not understand her. Perhaps real business learning is not in a class room (inspite of the many conferences I attended with this organization), but more like riding a bike....it's like telling me to peddle peddle fast and balance....her explanation of the service (before hiring her) did not help me grasp what learning to ride a bike is. Years later (after many loving beatings with a financial stupid stick and gentle 2 by 4s) I understand "balance". I can now not only ride a bike, but surf, ski and do yoga both in business and in my personal relationships. This group greatly contributed to me being the wiser business person. On Target is an outstanding service and every business SHOULD have when they truly decide/commit to being successful AND profitable (I am Chinese afterall-wink). For business planning, financial education and just an overall building a solid, reproducible, mission statement living money making company, Linnea is the "Quan" Linnea helped me dream like the child I am all the while training to have that dream be reality ....like a tax attorney. I pray you call her today and let this group make a difference in your life.

It was eye opening to go over finances and managing my time better. It was really helpful to get a professionals opinion and recommendations to help restucture the way my business operates. It has been a little over a year and my business grew 53% last year and I have been able to increase 2 staff members. I feel her services are great for new businesses and existing established businesses looking to grow. Thank you Linnea!

Tina has been an inspiration for me…read more I met Tina in the fall of 2018​ when I enrolled in a customer experience course at San Diego State University. Prior to the course, I wanted to begin my own marketing company. After sharing my dream with some hesitation, Tina gave me that burst of confidence to pursue my goal. She took the time to listen to my vision and gave me the tools I needed to make a successful plan. With Tina's guidance, I finished the course with a customer-focused website for my business. After the course was over, I felt a bit overwhelmed in where or how to start my business, so I reached out to Tina and asked if we could help. Tina helped ease my nerves by giving me a sense of direction. I would recommend her to anyone, not only as an instructor but genuinely caring, expert consultant.

What I find even more troubling is the level of contempt and dismissiveness displayed during this…read moreprocess. As a female business owner running a publication, the developer repeatedly minimized serious functional issues by labeling them as merely "cosmetic." In reality, these were not cosmetic issues at all--they impacted presentation, credibility, and the integrity of a live publication platform. For a business website, particularly a magazine platform, those details matter. Unfortunately, this interaction revealed a deeper issue: a lack of respect for the client's standards and vision. The implication that these concerns were simply "cosmetic" reflects a misunderstanding of professional publishing and the expectations of a serious business owner. Ironically, this experience will likely become material for a future editorial discussion in my magazine's upcoming issue, as it highlights a broader and very real conversation about professionalism, accountability, and how female-led businesses are sometimes dismissed in technical industries.

While trying to select and invite speakers for our event, I found it hard to find a good presenter for the topic, as most CPAs are limited to tax preparation. Mr. Lu has extensive experience in the field, is insightful, and carries himself well during the presentation. All attendees were impressed and wanted to talk to him more afterwards. We appreciated his time, effort, and vast knowledge on tax planning.

The issue was his extreme rudeness and arrogance. He repeatedly spoke over me, even after I asked him to stop, and he was unwilling to even have a conversation or listen to what I had to say. If you read the rest of the reviews here, it's clear that this is a consistent issue and just who he is. Whether you're a seller or a buyer, run as far away from this person as you can.

And while I'm not a customer, what I can tell you is this: CSA has done a masterful job at hand picking the best of the best to get them there. I have had the tremendous fortune of networking with several of their best employees from different circles and I'm shocked when the common thread is that they all work for CSA!? Hats off to their HR department for knowing that "in this market of consciousness, its the human capital, the "who" that make the "how". If I haven't even used their services and I'm taking the time to Yelp them on my weekend, you are hopefully picking up what I'm laying down here. CSA is a force of bright, vibrant, helpful people who have all raised their hands to be part of something bigger and greater than themselves. Anybody should be thrilled to have that intangible in their corner. Well done.

The first year we actually switched tax advisors midway through the process because it had become confusing and frustrating, and finding Monique truly turned things around for us. Starting with her from the beginning this year made the entire process a breeze. Her website is very organized and intuitive, which made uploading and providing all the required documents simple and efficient. She communicates clearly, is readily available to answer questions, and takes the time to explain the process so you always know what's going on. What really stands out is the value she provides--not just in completing the return, but in making the entire experience smooth, transparent, and stress-free. You feel confident that everything is being handled carefully and correctly. Overall, it has been a great experience working with her. We're very happy to have found such a reliable and professional tax service, and we would absolutely recommend Monique to anyone looking for knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy tax support.
