Gaby is one of a kind! It is our first year owning a business and we were expecting to have to pay lots of federal taxes; if we had used H&R Block or Turbo Tax, we definitely would've! Fortunately, Gaby was recommended to us and found us all sorts of deductions to take advantage of. Not only did we not have to pay any taxes, we actually received a huge refund. Gaby is very knowledgeable and a highly experienced professional. She does a quality job at a fraction of the price of the large tax preparation companies. I highly recommend Gaby to anyone and everyone! read more

This is my first time going to Pacific Tax Professionals I was pleasantly surprised with the service and prompt completion of my taxes. They are friendly and manage to make the process rather easy. Highly recommend! read more

I've been using Gaby for several years. She's extremely through and ensures I get all the tax credits and deductions possible. The best part is she'll review your tax situation and advise you how to plan for the following year. GO GABY! read more

I have been coming to them for the past 3 years and service is always pleasant and quick. If you have a problem with the IRS, they will go above and beyond to help you out. Lets just say that my husband owed the IRS and they helped us out , to the point to where, we owed the IRS to the IRS owing us. We loves these girls and plan on using them for our tax services from now on. I can't see going anywhere else. You will not be disapointed with their service. They really take their time so that you will get the maximum return. So therefore I highly recommend them. read more

Laura no longer works here so I followed her...she continues to do my taxes.

Gabriela is an incredible CPA with an eye toward holistic solutions for my taxes. As a former independent consultant and now a small business owner, my taxes have grown in recent years to be more complex than I'd imagined they could be, and Gaby's advice and recommendations were exactly what I didn't know I needed. Her care for her clients shines through every interaction, and her recommendations informing any and every decision I hated having to make made everything so much easier and stress free. To top it all off, I also had to consider how my tax status would inform and affect my qualifying for a home purchase, and Gaby was extremely helpful, using that important detail in advising me on next steps. I wish I had used Pacific Tax Pros earlier, as I had so much anxiety and legitimate concern - I was trapped in analysis paralysis for a long time before handing it all over to Gaby. If there is any area I needed reassurance a service would *absolutely* meet and exceed my needs and confidence, it is taxes, and I was blown away by the knowledge, expertise, empathy and compassion my CPA had for me. At a time when I really needed it, my delicate emotions over my money were held with safety, grace, and care. I trust Gaby and her company completely. If only all financial services could feel this good! read more

This is my second year with Laura and Gabby and I cannot speak highly enough about them. The experience is wonderful. They are friendly, patient, helpful, and very knowledgable. Laura has such a warm, welcoming aura about her that makes you feel so comfortable. And, she made the process quick and easy. There is no other place I would recommend, this is by far the best place to go in Long Beach. Thank you so much Pacific Tax Professionals! read more

Gabriela did a great job of getting my taxes done on time and with the a better return then my old tax guy...in fact she found stuff he forgot to do...thanks again for a great job! read more

Great place! I was in and out in about 30 minutes and they got me a bigger refund than I expected! Definitely recommend! Gabriela was great!

Students this is the best place to get your taxes prepared. Gaby provides great service at low cost. She helped me maximize my return. If you're a broke student like me, you'll appreciate her services. I recommend you see her, she helped me I'm sure she can help you. read more

I hardly YELP, but Gabriela deserves a post. It's my first time getting my taxes done at Pacific Tax Professionals. She did an amazing job answering our questions and even looked into possible outcomes for next year. She said, "I'm a Tax Nerd." LOL read more

Gabriela helped me to resolve a puzzle I had with W-2 and 1099 forms I received from a class action lawsuit. She explained me why all those forms and numbers without rushing and I strongly recommend this place to file your taxes. Very happy with the results!!! read more

I have had my taxes done by these girls for years and I always walk away happy. They are not only extremely knowledgable but are very friendly. I recommend them to everyone!!! read more

Pacific Tax Professional did my taxes last year and I have to say I was impressed! Gabby is very professional and she takes her time to help you figure out all of your tax needs. She's very efficient and answers all of my questions. I will continue to use her service. read more

Gabriela is amazing!!! I can't believe she went out of her way to help me on the busiest day for taxes without an appoinment and even though I regretfully didn't file with her this year. She didn't have to do that but she did and I'm sooooo grateful. Thank you, you wonderful human being. read more

Have used them in the past for taxes and have great customer service and they were able to take care of everything without any problems!

They are the real deal and they make you feel welcome. Laura was very helpful and friendly. She was able to answer all my questions and she definitely knows her stuff. I'll be going back to her from now on. read more

OMG Gabriela is awesome! Gabriela runs such a comfortable and reliable service, not just taxes! She offers a multitude of things from Itins, bookkeeping and immigration! She is a beautiful person who you can totally trust and rely on. So glad I have found her read more

I always mailed my stuff to previous CPA that i've been using for years (recently passed away...), and never really had a face to face consultation experience. Until, I found Pacific Tax Professionals on yelp. Gabriela was kind to explain all those items from my previous years and their super-star rating describes the service precisely. I never understood why people stress over when the tax season comes. Why not have 'Professionals' handle it and write-off the prep fee? I haven't got my refund check yet as i'm writing this but i know where to get my tax done again. read more

I started off pleased at their in office demeanor and service. They fell down on the job when it comes to thoroughness, customer service, and followup. IRS requested a followup - but Pacific Tax Professionals did not notify me of this. When I contacted them to request my files - they said they would email and fax me the documents but have done neither. Further - I have been trying to contact Pacific Tax Professionals but they never answer or return my calls. So disappointing an extremely unprofessional. Would NOT recommend to anyone. read more

Gabriela is the best tax professional I've ever had. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I've been with her since 2009 and she has a very satisfied customer in me. Thank you, Gabriela! read more

I'm giving Pacific Tax Professionals two very enthusiastic thumbs up! The woman who did my taxes last year scolded me for personal choices (not being in school and taking too many deductions, even though I still got a refund. Wtf!) With so many options for getting my taxes done here in So Cal, I refuse to pay someone who makes me feel bad. Fast forward to this year. Gabriela was professional and non-judgmental. I'm a new homeowner and she explained my deductions and refund very thoroughly. Plus, they play really good music in the office. I'll definitely be back next year! read more

I have used Pacific Tax Professionals for several years now. The service and attention to detail you receive is refreshing. Gabriela Vargas from my first visit has always been attentive to my needs and helped me get the most out of my returns. She also helped me resolve issues with tax returns due to incorrectly processed documents by others. I can't tell you how much time she spent helping me resolve my situation and always with a great attitude. She always offers honest answers and gives you thorough explanations to your questions. Prices are fair and the service is exceptional. You always get a call or an email back and it's easy to set up an appointment to meet in person and review your concerns. I have referred Gabriela to my family and friends many times. Many of my friends and family also appreciate that she is bilingual as this is very helpful not only when filing their taxes but also with assistance with immigration paperwork. So far, my experience with Pacific Tax Professionals has been nothing but great. I highly recommend their services. read more

Gaby is the Best! Personal, Professional, and a very reasonable fee. I will recommend her to everyone. Catch her now before she fills up.... because she will.. read more

I was "non-compliant" (behind in my taxes) and Gabriela got me up to date in short order. She was very easy to work with. I was extremely pleased with her work and her ability to make me feel calm about the process. read more

Gabriela is patient, knowledgeable and she saves me money! I have been her client since 2012, and I recommend her unconditionally. Most recently, she is helping my family manage payments and taxes for my Dad's helper - more complicated than we realized to keep everything legal! read more

Gaby has been doing my taxes for years. She makes the whole process very easy and is definitely someone I trust. Both ladies are great and I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else!! read more

First review ever: Service was excellent, advice was helpful, value was awesome. Highly recommended, will be back.

I am self-employed and have been doing my own taxes the last few years. I found Pacific Tax Professional on yelp and went to them to do my taxes this year. Gabriela was very helpful and fast! She also ended up amending my 2009 and 2010 returns for me as well! She found things that I missed and helped me save some money! read more

I have been getting my taxes done by Gabby for the last four years and have never had any problems. Gabby works her best to try to find every possible tax savings available to me. She is fast and efficient and always available to answer any questions you may have. read more

I having been doing my taxes with Gabriela for over 10 years. Now that she has opened up her own business the personal attention and her prices are even better! She will spend as much time with you as you need, she explains things well, she is soo knowledable and it all comes at a reasonable price. I will NEVER go to anyone else for my tax needs and finacial advice. read more

I never post negative reviews, but feel extremely strongly about what I'm about to say. I went in last October, and saw Gabby. She did a good job for my husband and I as far as I knew. So, I decided to use her again this month. My husband and I filed married filing separately. He claims too much and gets his refund monthly, and always ends up owing money. I claim zero or 1, and always get a refund. We have a house, of which we each pay half of the mortgage, but is in my husband's name. He bought this house after we were married. I was going to receive a very large refund, and he was going to owe around 1800 dollars. Together filing, we wouldn't have had any extra money in our pocket. My husband wanted to file together or take 100percent of the house, leaving me with no refund. I disagreed and told Gabby, I pay 50percent of the mortgage and have the bank statements to prove it. We didn't end of filing that Wednesday because we couldn't come to an agreement. I call one day later to get copies of my paperwork because she kept them in the office, and to make an appt for my husband and I, only to be informed that my husband went in before work, behind my back, and did his taxes, claiming 100% of the house, and screwing me out of any refund. Now, why am I writing about Gabby, you ask? Because, she knew he was lying, she knew I had concrete proof that I paid half the mortgage, and she still filed his taxes. It was unethical of her to file his taxes when she knew he was lying. But, she informed me, the house is in his name, so he could do that. I told her, what she should have done was simply say, I am uncomfortable being put in the middle of this. I'm happy to do your taxes, if you can both come back in together. I basically got screwed over by my husband, and screwed over by her lack of experience and unethical behavior. I do not recommend this business to anyone because I feel this situation would not have occurred if she had been an experienced CPA. I am extremely disappointed. read more
