Typically, referrals from friends or business colleagues is the best way to go, but that wasn't working out either. Tax season is a tough time to find a new accountant. Luckily, I took a chance with an internet search and found Gabe at Douglas and Pino. We set a blind appointment, met with Gabe and after reviewing our tax situation agreed to take us in as clients and we agreed it would be a good fit. Good has actually turned out to be great as Gabe has been very responsive with communications and completed our taxes prior to the extension deadline along with my corporate taxes. I would highly recommend Gabe Pino and his office if you're in need of a conscientious and personable accountant. Make the call. I don't think you'll have any regrets. We do not.

They wanted the fee within 30 days. They completed my tax paperwork timely but also outreached several times to upsell their services. Now, almost four months later, my account has been passed around internally to five different staff members. I have less than ten days to address an IRS appeal to the lock-in letter and Mike and team are not returning my calls. I should have read the reviews. I will now have to address it myself or pay another firm.

Anthony keeps me apprised by phone, mail or email with the latest local and world investments, money management, and tax questions. He's always available to answer or research my questions and make recommendations as needed. I find him to be wise and knowledgeable about every aspect of the financial world. I'm very impressed at how well informed he is and enjoys his job. In return, he passes this knowledge on to his clients, (even if you don't want to know), because frankly the stock market has been pretty scary these days! But at least his positive attitude and reassurances have helped me to at least get some sleep at night! I'm feeling more comfortable now that my retirement plan is in good hands.

He took what I thought would be some of the more challenging pieces -- like the sale of one of our rental properties and making sure everything was handled correctly within our partnership.

His guidance gave me clarity on decisions and confidence that everything was being handled the right way. Overall, it was an incredibly easy and efficient experience, and I truly appreciate the level of care, responsiveness, professionalism, and expertise Peter brought to the table.

Last year I was selling my business and met with Randy in July 2024, to get an estimate on how much capital gains could be. When I arrived, Randy was not prepared and "asked why I was there?" I told him I was selling my business (for approximately $2M) and need help planning for capital gains. Randy quickly tells me "he's a numbers guy, and not comfortable with hypothetical numbers". But, THAT was the purpose of our meeting! He spent more time thumbing through a Business Valuation book, trying to find a multiplier, to estimate my business's worth. He recommended Rogerson Business Services to do an appraisal and get back to him with their estimate, which I did. I received a bill for $438 for 1.25 hours, which I paid. I emailed Randy with their estimate and he replied with a total estimate for capital gains, but no information on depreciation recapture, or breakdown of state and federal or tax bracket percentages. When I asked for more information, he sends me an email with a web link for 2022 federal taxes, so I can calculate it myself. Early October, I get 2 more bills! $875 for 2.5 hours of his time "preparing estimate of tax resulting from sale" and $88 for "generating tax calculation worksheet and email" I emailed Randy disputing the charges, but never heard back from him. When I received a past due notice in November 2024, I emailed Katie disputing the charges. I don't mind the initial $438, but thought the extra $963 in charges was excessive. If Randy had given me the original estimated information I requested at our initial meeting, there would have been no need for additional charges. For comparison, at the recommendation of my Real Estate Agent, I met with another CPA and Business Consultant. I spent 1.25 hours in his office, where we reviewed and filled out actual on-line State and Federal IRS forms for Capital Gains. He came up with similar Capital Gains numbers that Randy had calculated, but ONLY charged me $250 for 1.25 hours of his time. In December 2024, I received an email from them, terminating our relationship. Apparently, I no longer fit in with "the future direction of their practice". Thank you, one less thing I had to do!
