We're now left with very little time to find a replacement and we'll probably lose a lot of money as a result of this surprise from them. Facts: we agreed to work together at the start of this year. They shared a portal for us to upload docs into. It took us a few weeks to get started uploading those docs but we're still within their purported time-frame in mid-February. We had some access issues that, for myself, they fixed; that was not fixed for my wife and we had to bug them several times in the last week before our scheduled tax prep meeting. They then reached out to me, saying that they can no longer work with us and that they'll delete all the files I uploaded to their vault. When I asked them why, they did not respond.

I've been working with Akram at All About Your Taxes since 2021, and I can honestly say he is the…read morebest tax professional I've ever had. Before finding him, I was going to a lady in Chinatown because her prices were cheaper, but I quickly learned you get the kind of service you pay for. Mistakes were made on my taxes, and I needed someone reliable and knowledgeable to fix them. That's when I found All About Your Taxes, and Akram helped me amend the errors and get everything corrected. Since then, I've stayed with him every year because he is extremely thorough, detail oriented, and professional. The entire process is always smooth, seamless, and stress free. Akram truly goes above and beyond. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, answers all of my questions, and always acknowledges my emails. Akram gives great advice that is tailored to my situation. I always feel confident that my taxes are being handled correctly. I am so happy I found Akram and I highly recommend him and the team at All About Your Taxes.

I highly recommend MC Accountancy to all small business owners…read more As a customer for over 5 years, we can attest to their friendly and knowledgeable service. My wife is a realtor and her business tax filings and our personal tax filings have always been difficult to sort out in a timely manner. Ming has been a great team to help us sort out tax season without the stress. But where Ming and his team really shine is how they help us manage our accounting needs for the business and our personal investments. Ming and his team have been incredibly helpful in organizing our expenses, managing payroll, and providing valuable tax strategies. Ming is very detail oriented and he's able to catch when we've made oversights. For example, one year, he was able to spot that there were two tax forms accidentally missing in our submission when he compared it to the prior year's submission. Ming continually keeps up with changes in the tax code, advising us on options that are now available that may possibly benefit both our personal filings as well as my wife's real estate business. We also like the app that he uses to allow us to review documents, upload documents, and send us notifications in a secure and centralized way. We can always log in and look at the history of our interaction. Thanks to their expertise, we've been able to maximize tax strategies and optimize our finances both for our personal finances and for my wife's business. MC Accountancy exceeds expectations and is a reliable financial partner for any business.

This is a very bad experience, so I will be fact based here…read more Tax Squad did 4 tax returns (two personal returns and two trusts). A mistake was made by Tax Squad. On top of the additional significant tax that needed to be paid (my responsibility), there was also $742.87 in penalties and $169.08 in interest, totaling $911.95 (which was Tax Squad's responsibility because of their mistake. NEVER DID THEY OFFER TO REFUND ME THE $911.95 FOR THEIR MISTAKE!! And if you are wondering, No, I am not looking for money in writing this and I did not ask them to pay it. As a professional tax preparer, they should have voluntarily paid that for their mistake without me having to ask. Instead, they simply instructed me to just pay the balance. NEVER DID THEY OFFER. They chose to just throw this financial obligation onto me, so this is making you aware of this practice. This mistake was caused due to a tax software issue which they could not resolve. Certainly there are things outside of our control, but it got to a point where I was doubting when I would get my return. I went down there at 10:30 in the morning in March (the height of tax season), and the only one in the office was the office admin. Finally the owners showed up at about 10:45. I realize we work in a modern day of remote work and outside responsibilities, but when you are a business owner, you need to be front, center and available to your customers at that hour. The returns did get filed but the communication and the failure of Tax Squad to not take responsibility for the penalties and interest of their mistake leaves me no choice but to leave this review. I have been a client of Tax Squad for close to 10 years but now that the business has been sold to Jess and Sim, it is a different experience. I certainly hope the service improves for the next person.

Chris at FlexTax has been my tax advisor for about three years now, and I can't recommend him…read morehighly enough. He's incredibly thorough and detail-oriented - he double and even triple checks everything to make sure your return is accurate and that he has all the right information. He's also very responsive and flexible with scheduling, which has made it easy to fit tax meetings around a busy workday. Chris really shines with more complex situations. He specializes in startups and equity compensation (ISOs, RSUs, etc.), as well as investment portfolios, so if you work at a startup or have a more complicated tax situation, you're in great hands. He takes the time to walk through everything, explains complex issues clearly, and makes the whole process feel much less stressful. He goes above and beyond by looking at prior years and making amendments if necessary to put you in a better position for future tax years. I originally started working with Chris based on a friend's recommendation, and after three years as a client, I'm very glad I did. If you're a startup employee or founder, or anyone dealing with equity and investments, I highly recommend Chris at FlexTax.

This firm went from exceptional to completely unprofessional overnight…read more I stayed with them for years solely because of Sam, who provided outstanding service. After the ownership change, it's clear that level of care is gone. What replaced it is a rigid, impersonal system that treats clients like transactions rather than relationships. They failed to notify clients of a major policy change regarding tax extensions until just days before the deadline--putting me at risk of non-compliance. When I raised concerns, their response was essentially: "This is our policy now, and if you don't like it, go somewhere else." No accountability. No attempt to fix the situation. No access to leadership. Just scripted responses from a support team. For a firm that benefited from years of loyalty and referrals, this is an incredibly poor way to treat clients. Avoid. UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO OWNER : Your response proves my point. After years of automatically handling my extensions, you changed the process right before a deadline, offered no real support, and told me to pay $240 or figure it out myself. Had I not followed up, I could have been penalized -- and now you're trying to turn it around and frame it as my fault by calling me "not engaged." After years of loyalty and referrals, this wasn't a transition -- it was a downgrade to a transactional model.
