Well..... I don't know what to say here. I almost didn't write this review, but after the call I…read morejust had, I felt like I should. I gave 3 stars because this review isn't of his accounting skills (which I won't have the chance to experience), but rather his customer service, so I tried to be fair. After reading the great reviews I tried to call today to see if Tim might be a good fit for our business and 2 families that own the business. When he picked up the phone it sounded like I interrupted him. I asked if it was a good time to talk. He was a bit short-sounding in his response, so reading that, I asked if there might be a better time to connect. Again, the reply was short in tone and certainly not what I was looking for in a person who would be this important in our lives. I am happy he seemingly has enough business, but I guess we will have to continue our search.

I was looking for a new tax preparer this year and posted on Facebook to see if anyone had…read moresuggestions. Two different local friends I trust recommended Anil, so I reached out to him right away. It has been SO amazing working with him, and I am deeply grateful to the people who recommended him! Anil is sharp as a tack, super friendly and down to earth, highly skilled, and he made the entire process feel totally relaxed, which is not something I'd ever experienced before with my taxes! I have an S-Corp with multiple sub-businesses folded into it, own property and a rental ADU, had complicated depreciations, and generally do not enjoy tax time! But every time I talked to Anil, he was just totally calm and friendly and positive, asking great questions, offering clear suggestions, and simplifying what had always felt painfully complex to me in the past. He also had very skillful suggestions about different ways to ensure I was getting the most benefits possible, while still maintaining deep integrity and feeling 100% confident that I'd have absolutely no hesitations if I ever got audited. On top of all this, his fees are super clear and simple, and highly competitive. My tax preparation with him this year cost less than what I've paid other people any of the past 5 years, and I feel much more confident about the filing! I feel so relieved to finally know I'm in good hands and will never have to look for someone new to work with ever again, or at least as long as Anil is around and doing what he does! I truly cannot recommend Anil highly enough.

They answered zero questions I posed in my paperwork, instead they just filed my returns without that critical info.
