This place is definitely an ONE STOP shop for all of your financial needs - we were referred to Steve Alpinieri years ago by a good friend for some business tax filings and bookkeeping. After we sold our company (Steve & his team also prepared those financial docs for the sale of the business), our family began using Alpinieri CPA for our personal finances/planning and tax filings. From the moment we met Steve, we felt his kind care, attentiveness and professionalism. Whether on email, phone or in-person, Steve & his team always proceeded with expertise/extreme knowledge in answering of all our questions meticulously. Our previous CPA would take days to respond to a simple question. Steve, on the other hand, has always been available to quickly answer all of our questions and navigate us through the complicated tax guidelines along with the ever-changing laws. In short, we would recommend Steve Alpinieri and his team to anyone without hesitation. One piece of advice that we would give to anyone is to streamline efficiencies - gather good & complete records of everything prior to your meeting with Steve (his team would generally provide a list of what docs are needed), and to also not wait until the very last minute to file your taxes. Steve, Ryan, Hunter & the rest of his team work wonders everyday to make things happen for their clients, but there is ONLY so much time in a day!

AVOID USING THIS CPA. Your taxes will not be done on time, they will not be done correctly, your…read moreemails and phone calls will not be returned, and you will be charged additional amounts outside of the CPA's original invoice. My wife and I are by no means tax experts, which is why we went to Steve Alpinieri to make sure that our taxes were filed correctly, as my wife had just begun her small business. Despite giving Alpinieri all of our documentation months before the tax deadline, he and his team did not complete them until the Friday three days before they were due. Thankfully we looked over our taxes instead of blindly trusting our CPA, as we immediately found that the taxes were done incorrectly with us owing thousands of dollars for a state where we actually owed $0. I sent multiple emails to Alpinieri in an attempt to clarify our tax return, all of which he eventually claimed were going to his spam folder. I guess all of my phone calls and voicemails must have also been going to his spam folder too. When my wife and I finally did get a chance to sit down with him, he spent 40 of our 60 minutes talking about his personal life and his legal battles with his sibling. After our "meeting" we received another tax return filing from him which was once again done incorrectly. Sadly, this year we used his services again under the assumption that all of our information was already saved into his filing system. This year, we have received multiple fines and penalties from the IRS for our tax return being improperly filed. Despite these fines, Alpinieri has also been attempting to charge us more money than his own invoice states he can. Apparently, my wife and I are not the only ones having issues with Alpinieri has he has just been fined for repeated negligence and failure to comply with professional standards. I wish we knew any of this before we ever began working with Alpinieri. https://www.dca.ca.gov/cba/consumers/actions.shtml?license_id=CPA%2078613 https://www.cba.ca.gov/cba/discipline/actions/ac-2024-2.pdf

We regret having to give this business just 2 stars. Tom Ordel did our taxes in 2019 and 2020 and…read morewe were very pleased. Unfortunately, the follow-up for the taxes for 2021 have been very disappointing. We are owed a federal refund (over $4,000) and still have not received it. We understand that the IRS is very slow with processing tax refunds this year, however, our complaint is more with the manner the office has handled this. I have contacted the office numerous times, both by email and phone in April, May, July, August, September, and October. We did not receive any responses to the emails and had brief telephone conversations that stated that the IRS has not yet been contacted. We are still waiting to hear that this office has done what they told us would be done, which is contact the IRS and inform us of the outcome of this call.

Interpersonal/Customer Service: Anthony was very nice from the get go. I emailed him on an initial…read moreinquiry and he responded very expediently, via a phone call. The way he responded and how fast was a predominant deciding factor for me choosing to go with him as I was "shopping" for tax services and had put out several other inquiries and had not even received a response. Kudos to you Anthony. This was the first time I've had a professional do my tax return. I must say I'm glad Anthony was my first and I'd be willing to wager I'll go back to him. Pricing: Being this was my first time using a CPA, I frankly don't know where Anthony stands on the cost scale. Several things to note. 1. He initially quoted me higher and then charged me less due to my situation being a more straightforward tax case. 2. He prepared my federal and state tax returns, gave me the IRS payment documents for each plus the shipping envelopes, an itemized service sheet, the copy of my 2016 tax return and the independent contractor quarterly prepayment forms and corresponding schedules. I'd say all that commands considerable value. So I think what he charged was fair. I also feel like he'd look after you if you owned your own business, helping with reducing your tax liability as best as possible. All in all, you'd be in very good hands with Anthony.

I had them do my taxes last year and they charged me $1100 which I thought was high. This year they…read moresaid it would be $2150. WOW, almost double in one year!

I found someone who will do them for the original $1100.
