We are very thankful to have been receiving such outstanding services from Onisko & Scholz for 12 years now for both our personal and business needs. The whole staff is The Best!! and "you couldn't pay me" to change to another accounting service. Very, very thorough, professional, competent and helpful throughout every interaction we have ever had with them; whether it is filing returns, providing projections and advice for upcoming year filings; sending very helpful & insightful emails with important information about upcoming tax changes and loan info; answering questions by email or phone in a timely manner; and - they are always very warm and friendly! I especially want to thank Paul, Natalia, Marcela and Tammy! read more

Responsive, friendly and reasonable. Trustworthy and knowledgeable. Leagues ahead of the services I have used in the past. read more

This is totally representative of the type of attention and service you can expect from Onisko & Scholz. It takes over three months for Paul Scholz, the firm's owner to respond to a clients complaint! His business reputation is obviously not the highest priority. As my previous review states neither is the satisfaction of his paying clients. Your claim that including additional items to the accounting was precluded by constraints is ludicrous. Not including an outstanding loan to the estate which is by definition a Trust and Estate asset is incomprehensible. This information was requested by the two accountants that worked on the accounting. Since they both quit or were fired during the process should not be a concern of the paying client. When that activity affects the service that is being paid for it DOES become an major concern. Your lack of interest in the matter in any form then, in responding to my review, and to your business practice is obvious. Perhaps PERSONAL attention to what your employees do and what your ex-employees did might be called for. Instead of continuing to offer excuses be grateful that we did not file a complaint with the State Licensing Board of California regarding your firm's behavior and actions. Three months to reply! I again recommend that Onisko and Scholz not be retained for any accounting. read more

As CEO of a PR company in Los Angeles, Onisko & Scholz have been a great asset to our team. They save me time and money by giving me reassurance on the company books through quarterly visits/reconciliations, training our CFO and staff accountant on best practice improvements, and are always a phone call away in providing guidance and expertise. The Onisko & Scholz team always responds the same day so my team can go on with what they need to do without delay. I would highly recommend working with them! read more

I was in the position of needing my taxes cleaned up. Onisko & Scholz and staff handled my short notice issues. The staff was fast and friendly, they made short work of my issues and have me back on track! Definitely a great find! read more

I'd like to thank the team at Onisko & Scholz for their unwavering commitment and support while guiding me through a stressful financial situation. This firm is comprised of high-level professionals who were there for me when I needed them most. Highly recommend. read more

We've been using the same CPA for our business for over 20 years. Last year he joined this firm. Within 3 months, they fired him and sent out letters letting his former clients know that he couldn't perform any work on their matters. Very unprofessional. read more

Asked for an appointment for consultation and was told by Lori that they are too busy with tax returns and that I should wait for more than 2 week (??!) I would assume with all the staff you have in the photo someone will be able to spare 20 min. Great service! Good job with bringing new customers in.. read more

I've been a client since the company was founded and prior to that with one of the pricipals from his previous firm. They're easy to deal with. Sound financial advise. read more

Onisko & Scholz CPA's are fantastic! They cleared up a rather difficult potential tax issue we were having a few years back that needed immediate attention. Not only did they respond quickly, they were able to solve the problem we were having in record time. I own my own business and have worked with many CPA's over the years and Onisko & Scholz CPA's are by far the most responsive, knowledgeable, and professional I have worked with. I have used them for years and will continue to use them for years to come. read more

We were referred to this firm by our attorney in a lawsuit to recover the balance of an unpaid account that was legally owed to us. We were told by our attorney that the bill would not exceed $5,000 but that we needed an expert accountants' review. We signed the contract as a formality. The lawsuit was settled, without the accounting firm needing to testify at court. The final bill was over $12,000!!! We tried to talk to them about the high billing. Even the hourly fee that was quoted was over $100 an hour higher. All this firm has done is add interest on to our account every month. I am sending off the final payment this month and feel so much better to have this firm out of our life! We will NEVER work with this company or Maria Plumtree again. All of this was happening while my husband was in treatment for cancer. Please be careful with these companies! read more

Compliments and Gratitude to Brett Sterbens Re: Brett Sterbens, Staff Accountant Onisko & Scholz, LLP Certified Public Accountants Long Beach, CA This review is being written to compliment and to say "Thank You" to Mr. Brett Sterbens at the firm of Onisko & Scholz, LLP, CPA, for the exceptional tax accounting skills and commitment to client service exhibited in the preparation of four years of tax returns, of varying complexity, in one tax season. By necessity, this project was managed during a normal tax season. While suffering through and recovering from a serious illness over a period of several years, I was medically unable and legally not allowed to file my income taxes. Upon my recuperation and release, I returned to my accounting firm, Onisko & Scholz, CPA, and my case was assigned to Mr. Brett Sterbens. Mr. Sterbens is intelligent, knowledgeable, of good judgment and focused. He carefully considered each issue, worked with my bookkeeper to secure proper documentation, reviewed, researched and consulted on unusual and highly complex issues, and advised and answered questions as I responded to taxing agency correspondence. The results were far more positive than I could have hoped. All of the returns were completed and filed within the current filing period of the year in which I recuperated. As a result of our many conversations, I became well informed and so was able to communicate my circumstances to the taxing agencies on my own behalf without the need for a tax attorney. Finally, I have found Onisko & Scholz, LLP to be a CPA firm capable of providing personal hands-on care, at all levels of expertise, in any situation. Thank you, Mr. Sterbens. I appreciate you. Please thank Mr. Scholz, my long time friend, for assigning my project to you. Sharon McF. read more

I would like to thank Onisko & Sholz for making me look great to one of my clients. I sent one of me best clients over there for some complicated forensic accounting work. Kim Onisko did such a great job and my client was ecstatic. read more

My small business (and I) have been clients for two years now. We had what could have been a very complex hand-over from our previous accounting firm. The made it simpler than I thought possible. I also own a small business overseas, which of course triggers requirements with the IRS. They also have made that painless. Love working with Liz and Paul- very professional, yet down to earth in communicating the necessary information. Our previous firm made us feel like everything was last-minute and Liz and Paul always have a calm approach to deadlines, which I greatly appreciate. I am very glad that they are the firm that we chose and I recommend them without reservation. read more
