He was very professional and answered every single question with details, making sure I understood everything before continuing to the next step. He helped me form a corporation for my business and the process was effortless. After couple months, I was completely satisfied with his overall services and not to mention price (I am a bargain hunter, but also do not wish to jeopardize quality). I decided to transfer my other business for book keeping and tax returns service. I felt very comfortable with all process and he was very prompt in responding to my emails and calls. He specializes in taxes, especially business related, and book keeping. Investment service is also part of his business. I highly recommend YC Tax Accounting!!!

Subject: Formal Complaint Against CPA Justin Kim…read more Dear California State Board of Accountancy, I am filing a formal complaint against CPA Justin Kim regarding unethical and potentially illegal business practices. I have used Justin Kim's services for my 2022 and 2023 tax filings, during which I always paid in cash. However, despite making these cash payments, I never received a receipt. In April 2024, Justin Kim did my personal tax filing and my first LLC tax filing. Justin Kim informed me that the LLC tax filing deadline was March 15 but stated that the first filing would be waived. For both my personal and LLC tax filings, Justin Kim charged original $1,000 for LLC Filing fee but i did personal and llc together so he gave me discount (or possibly $950 or $800 in cash, according to my memory). Additionally, I paid $800 for the Franchise Tax Board fee, making my total payment either $1,600 or $1,750, all in cash. Although I felt uncomfortable handing over such a large amount, I trusted him since this was my second year using his services. Again, I did not receive a receipt. This year, in 2025, I decided to switch CPAs due to high llc filing fees. My new CPA successfully completed my personal and LLC tax filings, as well as the Franchise Board $800 payment, through online transactions. However, upon reviewing my bank statement a week later, I noticed that my bank had processed three separate transactions: $800, $800, and $80. When I contacted my new CPA, they informed me that my 2024 $800 Franchise Tax Board payment had not been made. Shocked by this, I immediately reached out to Justin Kim. When I asked about the missing payment, he denied ever receiving the $800 and, instead of addressing my concerns, became agitated and abruptly ended the call. Following this, I sent three emails requesting receipts for the cash payments I made over the past two years, stating that if I did not receive them within 48 hours, I would file an official complaint. However, he has ignored all my requests. Even if I am unable to recover the missing $800, I believe that a CPA should operate with honesty and transparency when handling financial transactions. Accepting cash payments without issuing receipts is unethical and illegal. Given these circumstances, I cannot trust Justin Kim with any financial matters, nor should others fall victim to the same situation. For these reasons, I am formally reporting Justin Kim to prevent further harm to other individuals, particularly within the Korean business community, where cash transactions are commonly used. I hope that appropriate action will be taken to address this matter. Sincerely, Edward Park

Matter of fact, I am pretty lazy about writing reviews. This is my first review on Yelp! and it gives me great pleasure to write this about John J. Kim's company. I am so glad I found this office.

Harry, let's not lie because I keep receipts of every conversation…read more If you comment one more lie to my review, I will post every single conversation we had here and contact the Board of Accountancy. You seem to be very good at twisting facts and sequences of timelines. I am not upset about having to pay taxes. I am upset that I retain your firm and paid monthly expenses to do my bookkeeping, yet I never get any warning on how much tax I would have to pay at the end of the year. Furthermore, you also paid my tax late. You had access to all my documents every month and everything you requested I always provided in a timely manner. There is no excuse for you to file my tax late. Afterward, you also failed to take any accountability whatsoever. Instead, you tried to blame it on everyone else. In fact, a few months after we ended our relationship, I received a letter from IRS still that you missed a few documents. I have to hire another accountant to double-check your work. Please post your evidence where I am upset about having to pay taxes. I am sure you can't post any evidence. I am also not afraid to take legal action if you try to slander me by saying I am trying to avoid paying taxes. I am glad to say that I have hired a reputable company and I can see how terrible your company has treated me. Just because you gave me a refund does not mean I can't tell people how terrible your firm was. For future clients of JHK CPAs, read the email below and judge for yourself. I also post a screenshot of his response to my first review just in case he tried to change his review since I caught him in a lie.

My husband is a musician who does lots of gig/freelance work and we wanted to get professional eyes on our taxes as our situation has become more complex. We had an intro call with Sandy who assured us she could help with our situation. We then decided to take the next step and provided all of our documents within their portal on March 3rd. After submitting we heard nothing back from them for weeks and so we called towards the end of the month to check in. When we did this they only then started asking us for additional documents and wanted us to reformat all profits and losses within their specific document formats despite us already providing these 4 weeks prior in our own format. We asked them if they could just use our existing documents and they said that would be an additional bookkeeper service of $300. At this point we were very frustrated that they took an entire month to tell us all of this after we submitted initial documents. We ended up filing with an alternative.
