Having been through the mortgage process several times, Tom & Joe provided us with the best experience we've had yet. They are knowledgable, friendly, professional and accessible - During our process, they kept a close eye on the market trends to be able to get us the best deal/rate. They moved things along quickly and efficiently. They pitch themselves as working as a team and being interchangeable which is the absolute truth. At any point we could call either of them to get the answers we were looking for. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better pair to work with. Tom and Joe are outstanding.

I was referred to Eli Business Services from a friend and made an appointment with Eli. He is very well versed in both California tax laws and out of state tax laws. We finished in a short time and I received an excellent return. As a proactive measure we looked ahead into what I might pay in taxes for 2026 and he recommends some options that will yield a successful return in the upcoming year, which no other tax service I have used before offered that. I left feeling very confident my taxes were done right and already decided I will employ his services in the years to come. I highly recommend Eli Business Services for tax preparation, bookkeeping, and any other business services needed. Eli is trusted, reliable, and efficient.

She prides herself in being extremely knowledgeable in this area, and teaches others nationwide.

Also a wonderful woman to talk to about any challenges you're having in business or life that might affect your taxes/tax status. Always confidential.

2020 has been such an unprecedented year - full of uncertainty and disappointment for all of us…read more When I heard about rates declining I started to inquire with banks, credit unions and small shops like Woodbridge about what I could possibly do to refinance my mortgage. After hearing the fees that would have been stuck to me had I gone with banks and my credit union not really offering up much incentive I did ask around my network to see who could help me take advantage. I believe 4 out of the 8 people I asked recommend JR and his son James at Woodbridge. The remaining 4 suggestions were all random so is decided to give Woodbridge a call. I hadn't heard of them before this since I'm in San Francisco but I was pleasantly surprised! I spoke with James first and not only was he incredibly kind (Admittedly I don't know enough about refinancing to hold a solid conversation) by answering my many, many questions but he also provided me scenarios/options I could go down. No one else provided me that. When I decided to go with this firm I worked with both him and JR. The speed in which they were able to lock down the (shockingly) low rate and then complete the process was truly mind blowing!!!! I'm saving so much extra money a month thanks to them. From the start to close of the process took about 3 weeks tops and they were always available to answer questions from both the market perspective but also dumb ones I had! Truly top notch and painless. I can see why they are held in such high regard by my network and I will also be someone who refers them to my friends and family. If you need an alternative to the institution or group you've used before this could be a great option.

If you have to write your own positive reviews and get none from REAL customers, you know you SUCK!
