So a few years ago I figured it was about time to actually see a CPA and file my taxes like a grown…read moreup. Fortunately I stumbled across Gary Halpert and trust me he's much better than any online filing I've ever experienced. Great CPA, very easy to work with. Has in person meetings or you can mail your paperwork into him for processing. Fast turn-around time and he sets up all the direct deposit stuff up for the tax refunds. I figure if Gabriel Union uses Gary Halpert as her CPA then Gary can probably handle my taxes. You'll probably see an autographed pic of her on his wall. I'm still waiting for my signed photo to make it up there.

Gary Halpert has been our CPA for more years than I can remember. He has handled all financial…read moredealings in the most professional and expedient manner. With Gary, we are not just another tax return filing. He takes a personal interest in his clients and provides the best service that any CPA could. We have recommended his services to many friends and family, and they are all very satisfied with his work.

This CPA is retiring. Don't waste your time calling him. Material on the website is out of date.read more

Peter Soh of Advise Inc has handled my personal as well as corporate taxes for the past decade. He…read moreis extremely knowledgable, professional and thorough when it comes to making sure everything is in order, complete and finished in a timely manner. In my experience Advise Inc has always looked out for me as a client and has been error free. What I like most about Peter Soh and Advise Inc. is that if I have a question to ask or even if I have a form to get in on a last minute deadline, they are there to get back to me and get it done in an extremely prompt manner. Extremely high marks for professionalism and I have been very pleased with the service Advise Inc and Peter Soh has provided me over the years.

This is the first year I became financially independent and responsible for my tax returns. I am so…read morethankful I found Andy Yu on Yelp! Andy was patient with me and answered all my questions via email really quickly, even past business hours. He was completely transparent with the service fees, which were very reasonable, and had genuine concern when the they were going to be higher than expected (I was filing two state tax returns). I only had to do independent tax returns, but even then, the taxes were done literally in a day. I was so happy with the service and I'll definitely be returning next tax season :) Thank you, Andy!

Harry, let's not lie because I keep receipts of every conversation…read more If you comment one more lie to my review, I will post every single conversation we had here and contact the Board of Accountancy. You seem to be very good at twisting facts and sequences of timelines. I am not upset about having to pay taxes. I am upset that I retain your firm and paid monthly expenses to do my bookkeeping, yet I never get any warning on how much tax I would have to pay at the end of the year. Furthermore, you also paid my tax late. You had access to all my documents every month and everything you requested I always provided in a timely manner. There is no excuse for you to file my tax late. Afterward, you also failed to take any accountability whatsoever. Instead, you tried to blame it on everyone else. In fact, a few months after we ended our relationship, I received a letter from IRS still that you missed a few documents. I have to hire another accountant to double-check your work. Please post your evidence where I am upset about having to pay taxes. I am sure you can't post any evidence. I am also not afraid to take legal action if you try to slander me by saying I am trying to avoid paying taxes. I am glad to say that I have hired a reputable company and I can see how terrible your company has treated me. Just because you gave me a refund does not mean I can't tell people how terrible your firm was. For future clients of JHK CPAs, read the email below and judge for yourself. I also post a screenshot of his response to my first review just in case he tried to change his review since I caught him in a lie.

Harry will definitely take care of you. He has taken care of my taxes for the past 5 years. If I…read morehad a small business, he would definitely be my accountant. The firm is growing really fast and has reached a point where he can be selective of his clients.

Ignore the other review about BMG, Frank Hamilton, MJ Jones. When crooks used Ed for his service,…read moreit does not mean Ed is part of the fraud. But Ed's name is unfairly tainted so I am writing this review. I have been using Ed Kepple for at least 3 years and he's been professional, and excellent. I am also a victim of Frank and MJ. Frank and MJ ran a financial mentoring group and charged people for it. They provided investors with high yield return opportunities. Frank and MJ took the money and ran. One person I heard had to file bankruptcy. Ed was able to write off my losses from Frank and MJ. As far as I know, Frank and MJ has kept a lot of investor's money to almost a million dollars and have not returned money. In conclusion, Frank and MJ took people's money, not Ed. Ed is a good accountant and I am still going to him. I have filed a FBI complaint against Frank and MJ. If you are a victim, file a FBI complaint against Frank and MJ. Contact me privately. I have a template. I know one other victim have filed FBI complaint also.
