He was a great help, answering all of our questions promptly and taking us through the complex process. Since then, I've relied on his help to file my personal taxes.

Highly recommend David for business owners looking for a great CPA.

On December 31, 2021, I emailed David Kirst, CPA (hereinafter referred to as "David") to find out…read morehow much money he would monetarily charge me to do my 2021 United States Individual Income Tax Return, my 2021 California Resident Income Tax Return, and my 2021 Corporate Tax Return (for both the federal government, and the State of California). A few days later, in January 2022, David replied to me via electronic mail (email) to inform me about his monetary price quotes for doing my 2021 United States Individual Income Tax Return, my 2021 California Resident Income Tax Return, and my 2021 Corporate Tax Return (for both the federal government, and the State of California). Ultimately, at some point in February 2022, I decided to hire David to do my 2021 United States Individual Income Tax Return, my 2021 California Resident Income Tax Return, and my 2021 Corporate Tax Return (for both the federal government, and the State of California). As a result of this decision, I informed David via electronic mail (email) about my decision. I made this decision because of my ability to monetarily afford David's tax preparation services, tax advice services, tax consulting services, etc. From my perspective, the way that David "verified" me to ensure that I was actually the individual requesting David's tax preparation services was really weird (which was something that perplexed me, something that was really strange to me, something that rubbed me the wrong way, etc.). I explained to David that just because I have personal (home) contact information that is different than my business contact information does not somehow make me suspicious. David and I (we) were able to get over this "hiccup" quickly so that we could advance into entering a professional business relationship. After David and I (we) entered our professional business relationship for David to do my to do my 2021 United States Individual Income Tax Return, my 2021 California Resident Income Tax Return, my 2021 United States Income Tax Return For S Corporation, and my California S Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return, David and I (we) had a good to great professional business relationship. David educated me about a lot of stuff that I did not know about. David informed me about a lot of stuff that I did not know about. David is a Certified Public Accountant that is very detailed, very thorough, very experienced, etc. David is an excellent Certified Public Accountant. David is very knowledgeable. He is "top of the line" in his profession (in my opinion as being his first-time client). David and I predominantly communicated via electronic mail (email), which was great for me because my primary method of communication is electronic mail (email), and my preferred method of communication is electronic mail (email). However, when David and I (we) needed to talk on the telephone, David and I (we) found a way to talk on the telephone when necessary, even when I did not believe that it was necessary, even when I did not have time because I am always swamped/slammed/busy daily (everyday), even when I did not like it (which I did not on one (1) occasion). David and I were able to successfully work together, collaborate together, etc. so that ultimately my 2021 United States Individual Income Tax Return, my 2021 California Resident Income Tax Return, my 2021 United States Income Tax Return For S Corporation, and my California S Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return, we are drafted on time, prepared on time, finalized on time, submitted on time for filing, etc. I have so much more knowledge and information now because of David than I ever did before with any other tax preparer (Certified Public Accountant or not) that I have ever hired regarding my tax return(s) preparation. As a result, I do thank David for that. David is very insightful. Regarding taxes, I learned a lot from David. I feel more sharpened now because of David as opposed to before I encountered David. As a result, hence, this five (5) star review, and I would suggest, advise, and recommend David if anyone in the State of California is looking to have his or her or its tax returns done, is looking to receive tax consulting (tax advice), etc., David is certainly a Certified Public Accountant that is at the top of the list. Thank you, David Kirst, CPA. I appreciate it very much. I wish you the best and success as a Certified Public Accountant presently and moving forward.

He also will meet you online via Zoom as well, and prefers that method due to COVID restrictions. I actually got the wrong time for my yearly appointment with him yesterday (Sunday), and while leaving a message, the secretary picked up, thanked me for notifying them that I would miss the scheduled appointment, Mark was mainly booked until mid next month, and doesn't see anyone on Mondays, but was willing to make an exception for today (Monday). I really appreciate that he was willing to see me despite the missed appointment. The appointment went well as usual. I was able to tell him some things about some of the forms and he asked me some questions about my prior year, which he also told me I could do business deductions and we went through a tiny list of things that we could deduct. I generally scan all my stuff into PDF format where I don't have a digital copy and just hand him a flash drive with all the stuff for him to use (he will scan physical documents for you if it comes down to it). Given that he now has a digital portal, you can probably upload the docs there instead.
