So frustrating!

Picture a cape wearing superhero. That is who Chris Larson has been for me. Not only has Chris'…read moreprofessional demeanor remained the same throughout all conversations, he was extremely knowledgeable in his area of expertise and available to answer ALL questions. If he was busy, Chris always got back to me within a reasonable time. He didn't just run away once he got my money. As one other client describe Chris "tenacious, calm, and fair" summed up my experience. I had a few conversations with several other attorneys before retaining Chris and they each told me I didn't have a case. Not one offered any useful information without even fully understanding the problem. Chris helped me with what I felt was a complex tax issue and never gave up on me after four long and painful years of battling with the IRS. I really felt at ease having Chris represent me during a very stressful situation.

Unprofessional and demeaning: I contacted Chris for my wife…read morewho had a very disappointing experience with him. She called at the scheduled time, She informed him of her tax issue which she said it is not very familiar with that is only dealt with that a couple times. Perplexed, she asked in a nice way and nice tone how long he has been practicing, which certainly is a legitimate question when assessing a professional's ability to help you for a complex issue that is within Mr Larson's claimed area of expertise. He abruptly said he had to go and hung up. Why he did this? Though an exceptionally accomplished PhD scientist and very successful business person she does have a heavy Chinese accent and in conversation it is clear that English is not her primary language. But the many business people that work with her communicate fine enough. As a professional, I can say that Mr Larson's behavior was the opposite of professionalism and customer service - and was absolutely rude and demeaning. Furthermore it does not inspire confidence in his claimed area of expertise.

I've been a client of Howard for several years now, working to resolve old tax liabilities. The…read moretruth is that I've been incredibly irresponsible in handling my tax obligations. Once I failed to file one year it just snowballed, and I haven't filed in literally decades. The 2018 tax year will be the first year I file on time since something like 1997. Howard has delivered results far above my expectations. What I thought was going to be an insurmountable problem, Howard has turned into a very manageable one with pretty easy to pay monthly payments. Howard's knowledge of the inner workings of the IRS runs deep and wide. He has personal connections there. His follow up is timely and has kept me on schedule moving towards resolution. Howard's communication is crisp, pithy, and clear. He is a consummate professional. Howard's work has provided me with something invaluable; my constant fear has abated. I've been carrying this burden of constantly being afraid of being caught and arrested by the authorities, and it has affected me in a million little ways: driving around, using the internet, banking, living situation with landlords, credit availability, etc. Thank you Howard - your work is a gift.

I've been doing my own taxes for over 30 years. It's a pretty comprehensive return with lots of…read moreschedules, and I've been doing fine with it until my son started working last year, we started contributing to an IRA and 401k for him, college, etc. For the first time in 30+ years, there was a "new thing" to account for. Due to a forced 401k distribution/rollover/tax withholding, etc, I was a little unsure about how to handle it. I had an idea through research on the internet (and multiple LLM conversations), but I wanted to talk to a CPA or Tax person to confirm. I sent out a bunch of requests on Yelp to get quotes for a conversation that I estimated would take no more than 15-30 minutes just to make sure my understanding is correct. I got a bunch of replies ranging from $100-$385. Somebody even said I needed to complete an engagement letter to have the conversation! CBX CPA sent me a message in the middle of the night with a very detailed list of what I needed to file on my taxes and my son's and what to rollover. He also gave me his number and said, "Give me a call any time tomorrow..." No quote. Just good and clear advice on what to do. He even followed up with a second, "Sorry Mike, I forgot to add..." email and an example of what he meant. I currently do not need any other accounting/tax assistance, but if I did, I would call out to Cristian -- not because he's necessarily "any more right" than any other CPA -- that's why they are Certified: so there is consistency across the industry and a minimum knowledge about the rules so any good CPA will give you more or less the same answers, conservatively, even though they may differ depending upon how "creative" they are in interpreting those rules. I would call out to Cristian because he clearly values *MY* time and money -- not just his. I like to do business with good human beings who, to some degree, treat business like it's part of a community and not just a capitalist market. Recognizing that my need "wasn't a big deal," and taking a few minutes to type out the solution (*with detailed instructions and even sending a follow up email because he thought of something after he finished the 1st message*!) with no request for compensation speaks more volumes about him as a person than people who have paid for the service, in my mind. He's giving his expertise to answer what he felt was a simple question (but it wasn't so simple to me) out of the goodness of his own heart after evaluating whether or not he needed to charge for that expertise. This isn't common place -- I sent out 15-20 requests via Yelp describing my problem in detail and 60% of responses said "I'm too busy," and all but 2 of them said, "here's a quote for $100-$380." Two CPAs took time to write me actionable information, and CBX CPA's was the more detailed (though both were thoughtful and good). If he can be this complete in answers for a person who isn't paying him a dime when he has a CPA and it's tax season where he could for every minute, then how complete, thorough and diligent do you think they will be for a paying client? He didn't take my money so the least I could do is take the time write a truthful review and make this recommendation: If you're like me who wants even business relationships to be more than transactional but also with a person with grace who will help you out when the only self benefit being that he knows he did a nice thing for another human being when he could have charged for it and willingly been paid, then if you need a CPA, take the time to give Cristian a call to win your business.
