Ike I. ran this business for many years, then retired and sold the business to Dakhil. Dakhil is…read moreincompetent and a crook. He botched the filing of my tax returns, causing me to be charged thousands of dollars in penalty and interest. This happened because of an error made by Dakhil in the way that he filed my tax returns. His error caused me to be charged thousands of dollars in penalty and interest. Any respectable accountant who makes a mistake like that will take responsibility for it. This crook refused to take any responsibility. I'm updating my review to respond to a lie told by Dakhil, specifically that my tax return was "dropped off". This is a lie. I have 2 letters from Dakhil, both dated March 4, 2022. In one letter he says that he is electronically filing my tax return with the IRS, and in the other letter he says that he is electronically filing my tax return with the FTB. I paid Dakhil to prepare and electronically file my tax returns and he botched the filing of the returns. Because of his incompetence I was charged thousands of dollars in penalty and interest. In conclusion, Dakhil is incompetent, a crook, and a liar. Obviously you don't want to do business with this crook.

Do not open a retirement account with Benedetti & Associates…read more Over a full decade, my Roth IRA account yielded an abysmal annual return of under 4%. For context, even the most conservative retirement portfolios averaged 6-8% annually during the same period. More aggressive Roth IRA strategies returned around 12-13%. And the U.S. stock market has averaged about 10% annually over the last 30 years--meaning this firm underperformed even the most basic, passive investment benchmarks. To make matters worse, I paid a 1% annual management fee, adding insult to injury. I essentially paid for underperformance. Even more painful: this decade of poor returns covered the prime investing years of my life--ages 25 to 35--when time and compounding matter most. They didn't just underperform; they did lasting damage to my long-term financial growth. I cannot recommend Trent Benedetti Associates to anyone looking for competent, growth-oriented investment guidance. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

A very short summary ... My husband and I have discussed…read morethis in too much length, and all we can say is "Total Disgust" about filing our 2018 federal and state income taxes with Benedetti & Associates. In addition to an overall lack of communication throughout the tax season; we were sent SOMEONE ELSE'S tax returns! (Yes, you read that correctly.) I consider tax returns one of the most sensitive and personal financial documents. This is beyond concerning to me in a way words cannot even explain. Since we received our "completed forms" after Tax Day, there was NO opportunity to review them before they were due. What about our deductions? California state tax law allows 2% miscellaneous itemized deductions in 2018. Benedetti & Associates didn't ask anything about my expenses. The offices of Benedetti & Associates took no time, nor concern, to communicate throughout the process; no time, nor concern, to ask any questions that might help our returns; no time, nor concern to get our completed taxes returned in a timely manner; and took no time, nor concern, to protect our privacy. Gene Peterson, our previous CPA, would be disappointed his clients went through such a fiasco. It is absolutely appalling anyone would be put in a situation such as this. I cannot believe my husband and I paid $295 to Benedetti & Associates to be treated this way. Total disgust.

Horrible CPA! I first started with Travis a few years ago and initially he was nice and…read morecommunicative but the last two years he's done my taxes he's been sloppy, lazy and failed to respond. This last year he didn't even give me my taxes until the day before the deadline to pay even though I had been emailing and admin about them. When I told him I had questions and I didn't want them filed a certain way he told me it was too late and I would have to pay anyways, even if I wanted to file an extension. Now I'm out $12,000 because he filed the wrong way and refuses to correct them. He either won't respond to emails or give nothing but excuses. If you care about having someone who's concerned about your best interest stay far away from this person.
