I can't say enough good things about Paul and his business! He's provided countless assitance with my tax needs, saving me thousands of dollars, and most importantly days of headaches! read more

HORRIBLE. Do not use them for personal tax returns they will steal all of your money and bill you for doing nothing that free turbo tax couldn't do, horribly managed and I'd never do business again with them. read more

Paul is an outstanding CPA. The man always has clients in his busy schedule because he does such a great job. I would highly recommend setting appointments to make best use of his time, whether in person or via phone. His receptionists/assistants are very nice, too. Paul will offer best & worst-case scenarios, viable alternatives, in all of the status circumstances you live with. He will tell you the options you can take to pay taxes or maximize on refunds. You got a question, he's likely to have not just one answer, but options. For following tax years, he will offer good recommendations or what to expect. read more

We are a small business in San Diego. It is great to work with Paul Anderson CPA and his office staff.

Sept 10th - Got in contact with Paul to see if he could review my taxes for 2019. Sept 12th - Uploaded my documents for review. Sept 16th - Asked for an update to see if they had received my documents. Got a response that they just finished a big tax deadline and that they were out for vacation and will respond next week. Sept 27th - Got an email to tell me I need to upload more docs. I upload docs same day and ask to clarify this is what they needed. Oct 6th - Sent an email to see if there was any update on my case. Receive a reply same day that someone will get back to me in the next day or two. Oct 13th - I send another email asking what is happening with my 2019 tax return review. Receive a half legible voicemail saying something about how they are busy and have deadlines to reach but that my tax returns has some money I might be able to get back. Call them back later in the day and towards end of business hours only to reach voicemail both times. Oct 14th - Email them and tell them that I got a call and a not so useful voicemail. Ask again for an update on estimation fo when this is going to get done and request a phone call. Also called them again, same result... voicemail. This time I leave a message re-iterating what I said in the email. Sounds like they're really busy and not capable of handling new customers. I picked Paul Anderson CPA because of the positive Yelp reviews and because they looked like a small shop compared to some of the big ones and I wanted to support a smaller business. It bums me to say this but I have not gotten any estimation of when this will get done, what progress has been made, and barely feel like they're making the review of my 2019 return a priority. Would love to give them another chance but constantly being not on their priority list and poor communication has stretched my patience long enough over 1 month. If I'm wrong and reviews of tax returns take longer or have some accounting wizardry I'm not aware of please correct me. read more

Honest, super knowledgeable, and fast! I am generally skeptical when working with CPAs, and have become increasingly more skeptical over time, yet I found it easy to find trust in Paul. It's really the little things that add up. He makes time to answer complex questions and provides helpful resources when possible, with tips on how our business can benefit in the future etc... Shoot him an email or schedule a call with him, you'll thank me later. read more

I've been going to Paul for years and have valued his insight and service so much that even though my husband and I moved out of state we still use his services! I really appreciate his candor, knowledge and being conservative when recommending financial and tax advice. read more

I have been working with Paul for many years now, and I can't think of anyone else other than him to do my yearly taxes. Even when I moved to Sacramento, and across the state of California it was him who I went to. Paul is reliable, he knows his stuff and genuinely cares about his clients. I look forward to working with him in the coming years, and cant wait to refer clients to him as well. Thank you Paul for always doing such a great job on my taxes. read more

In these crazy times you need people around you that you can TRUST. Paul Anderson is one of those people. I come every year with my "late" returns and he smiles and we get the job done together. He understands the laws, makes sure you have all the possible deductions and explains everything along the way. He is a resource outside of filing season and is always gracious with answering my many questions. I would HIGHLY recommend Paul Anderson CPA!!! read more

I was one of Paul's first clients wayyyy back in the day. I changed jobs but didn't change Paul. I changed boyfriends but didn't change Paul. I got married but didn't change Paul. I moved across the country but didn't change Paul. I have recommended him over and over, and I will continue to do so. read more

We are very happy we decided to have Paul Anderson handle our taxes this year. He was knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and had our return filed quickly. He has a secure system for exchanging files and easy to upload documents. This was a huge factor in our search for a new CPA. We'll definitely be back next year. Thank you Paul! read more

Got all our complex taxes done on time and amended our taxes on time. Thanks Paul! We'll be back!

Paul was referred to me from a good friend so many years ago I can't even remember when. He's efficient, doesn't miss anything, and if you think you can do this on your own, you are missing money. Well worth having a professional on your side. Call him, I haven't this year yet, but I'm calling him right after I post this!! Thanks for all your efforts Paul! Ray and Susie. read more

I switched to Paul when my previous CPA had prepared my 2018 taxes and let me know how much I owed on my individual returns. I thought the number was odd and did not make sense so I consulted with Paul instead. Turns out that the taxes I owed was about half the amount I was originally quoted. Paul is understanding, attentive and he knows what he is doing. He always makes himself available to answer my (many) questions, explains things simply, and ultimately reduces a lot of my stress during tax season. I highly recommended him to anyone who is looking for a true professional. Thank you Paul! read more

Mr. Anderson & his Assistant Teresa did what I asked them & needed, simple biz tax return. Had to remind them a few times of some of the basic details a few times however...silly errors & mistakes should be avoided. All fixed, I think & hope. Would recommend. read more

I first met Paul through a networking group about 6 years ago, and he's been doing my taxes ever since.

I highly recommend Paul! read more

I used Paul to prepare my 2014 taxes, which were complicated, at least for a layperson like me. I started a business in 2014 and had many other questions regarding my tax liability and he was able to put it in the simplest of terms even I understood. I was confident that he made sure that my tax liability was accurate without overpaying the IRS. Highest recommendation! read more
