Mr. Smith did some investigative work for me when i suspected my partner was stealing money. Mr.Smith caught all the manipulations by my partner in the books..nailed him and told me exactly how much money had been stolen. He's very smart, experienced, knowledgeable CPA, with reasonable prices; a straight up decent, ethical person.

I first contacted Smith and Co. the week after the April 15th deadline as my previous CPA had…read moreretired. I had stopped by their San Rafael office and was informed they were taking new clients, and dropped off a zip drive with my previous two years returns. No one contacted me, I called an additional three times before someone contacted me. I had a conversation with Alycia Paletta, we discussed their services and cost estimates and was asked to get my information over as quickly as I could since I was late. I dropped my tax information off the Monday of the following week. About two and a half weeks later I still had not heard anything, so I called and asked to speak with Alycia. She was not available and did not return my call. She had not started on my return. Thus I called and spoke to the receptionist/ office manager ( who was always helpful) and indicated Smith and Co. was not a good fit for me and that I would be stopping by the next day to pick up my information. Also, their estimated fee was between two and three times what I had been paying my previous firm. Compared to Friedlander, Cherwon and Capper this was the Mickey Mouse Club. Way too expensive and way too unprofessional. Doug Cason, San Rafael.

Although it was mid February, and I understand she was busy, she was cold and dismissive. We had a tax return of well over $500,000 and she treated us like we were bothering her to even ask for an appointment to get our taxes done. Not a good impression. At all. I honestly felt humiliated. Maybe they really are good CPAs, but I won't try again until Majella has left the firm.

I just want to say that I admire their hard work and expertise, and I appreciate them very, very much. If they are too choose-y to take you on as a new client, or if you're a client who didn't take their advice on making estimated tax payments and now have to pay a huge amount of taxes: you can always drown your sorrows in a drink at the bar under their offices, "Il Pirata" (Oh no "The Pirate"!). Anyway, for accounting and tax, I like SB&G = Seriously Brilliant Guys!

We went to another firm and have been getting great service from them for over a year. Overall, if you have a good bookkeeper/accountant then payment of taxes is simple and should not be costly or time consuming. Review Late: Always last minute. I see in other reviews they claim they were waiting on the tax code to be finalized. They fail to realize that this puts stress on the company to accept the tax return with little time for review. Quality: They failed to inform us in a timely manner that we had to pay the State of CA, resulting in penalties. They missed the fact that converting a company from S corp to C corp should be done at the 1st of the year, not mid year in order to double pay the CA state FTB annual payment. Also, the IRS has told us that they did not receive our 2019 and 2020 returns. We are not sure if this is an issue with B&S or the IRS but we are fixing that now. Price: 4x what we pay now.

A family man, and immigrant to this country, Arthur has obviously worked extremely hard to have his business. He truly wants the best for his clients, no pretenses involved. I feel comfortable about my finances being in his care. Arthur has the kindest smile and demeanor of anyone I've ever met. His warm smile makes you feel immediately at ease, considering that you're usually dealing with a stressful time in your life (having to shell out money!). I recommend him to anyone, but only if you promise to treat him well and not leave your taxes to the last couple of days before filing is due :-) You'll send him to an early sick bed and I can't have that.
