Akemi claims efficiency, but what really defines her approach is an unforgiving attention to every…read moredetail that too many so-called professionals miss. I don't praise easily, but she tore through our tangled financial mess like it was nothing, giving us clarity where there was chaos. Her speed is not a breath of fresh air; it's the baseline anyone should expect. If you want someone who will treat your financials like a personal challenge rather than a routine task, Akemi is who you call.

She is extremely capable, delivers very quickly and is just a joy to work with. On top of that, she is also incredibly thorough and doesn't make any mistakes. Akemi is always able to answer questions and take the time to explain things. I cannot rate her highly enough! Give her a call, you'll be happy you did!

Glad to see this guy has put a sign up and is open for the rest of you to hire him. He's going to…read moresave you a TON of headaches and the good stuff $$$$ MOOLA I was lucky to find Keith, many years ago. I run my own business and he set me up to create and distribute invoices, collections, and everything that it takes to get my billing done. I mean it was a revelation for me to get everything in order and know where it's all going - and More Importantly - where it's coming in from!! Right. They did my taxes and saved me a bunch of money - and listen, I have an undergrad in accounting with a concentration in taxes (4.0 in this area) but I gotta admit - it is / it was and always will be CONFUSING! (Confucius say use Axis to save yourself aches and pains). Okay, maybe too corny. A HUGE Blessing to have these guys really take the time - be extremely patient (I wouldn't be that patient) and take me through the steps of doing my own day to day accounting. At first they did it for me - and then they weaned me out of it by helping me through the steps numerous times. I wanted to do it after a few years when my business became easier. Point is - Contact Axis with Keith - you will Love this guy. He's too easy to deal with and he has a personality. Some accountants you don't know what they're thinking like it's some kind of mystery. Not so with these guys - straight up, reliable, and get the job done by knowing all the angles. INTEGRITY

My books were a disaster. My previous bookkeeper completely messed all my records up and to be…read morefrank: had no idea what he was doing. I had 55k in uncategorized expenses...what??? And then, the stars aligned. I had previously worked with Keith and Alissa in my past life. They were highly regarded throughout the company and were known to get it done. Keith randomly reached out to me asking if I needed help with my books. I jumped out of my chair and said I needed him 6 months ago!! I would hire him as my CFO if I could afford him (I still plan on doing so when I can ;)). I now actually have books that are properly categorized and inventory that is actually booked properly! It's freaking amazing. I can not recommend this firm more to people that are in need of accounting/bookkeeping services!

I called and explained what happened and they said There was no way they would or could waive the charge, but talk to my specific branch (Fairfax) So I called and spoke to "JULIO" who said to talk to San Rafael which I already did, He then said there was nothing He could do about it! I have several bank accounts and all of them will waive fees for overcharge at least once a year. Their attitude was snooty and rude, I am closing the account asap Strawberry Long time NOW very unhappy disgusted customer

I had the same accountant/tax preparer for almost 50 years until he retired last year. After…read moreresearching tax preparers near me, I decided on MM Tax Preparers in Pinole. I feel very lucky to have found them. My tax preparer there was Ana Cardona. I was very impressed with the process they have there and especially Ana. She was very precise as well very knowledgeable about tax preparation. I learned things about my tax return that I had never known before. She answered all of my questions as well as going over my finished tax return with much detail. I brought all of the paperwork needed and we went over our tax return, line by line. What was also very impressive, after she entered my information into their tax program, we were able to complete the process right there and was told that our return would be submitted electronically that day. As our yearly tax refund is an important part of our yearly budgeting, to do this process so quickly was very unexpected and helpful. I would feel good about recommending MM Tax Preparers and, especially, Ana.

I normally do my own taxes however I needed a tax amendment and I wasn't sure how to add the…read moreadditional form, so I looked for tax professionals in my area and saw that this one was rated 5.0 so I gave Mauricio a try. I came in for my appointment at 2pm and even though he saw me, he kept talking on the phone for another 20 min!! How RUDE! Finally after waiting on him he called me to his desk but gave me a BUNCH of WRONG information and how I'm going to owe taxes etc when I knew that was incorrect, he proceeded to act like he was in a rush and trying to get rid of me!! I had to open my phone and show him my research on HOW TO FILE THE ADDITIONAL FORM! What's up with that!??? You're supposed to be the tax professional!! After I told him how it should be filed, he said that will be $400 after his employee Daisy had quoted me $300-350 which is still WAY too HIGH! I was SO MAD AND FELT ABSOLUTELY NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS MAN, so I decided to bring my husband with me when it was time to pick up my amended taxes. When Mauricio saw me come in with my husband, he IMMEDIATELY jumped up from his desk even though he was sitting with 2 clients and spoke to me like he was this nice professional!! WOW!! So that's how he treats women huh?!! I paid with my CC and got charged an additional 4% ($14)!! Highway Robbery!! I called later and asked to speak with him (because obviously I wasn't happy with my experience with him) and I was told he still had clients but that he would call me right back. The office closed for the day and I got no call back. So now here is your review Mauricio. You need to do better with your customer service and read up on what you should already know! Lastly stop trying to cheat people out of their money! After this horrible experience, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!
