I had an outstanding experience with Dimov Tax Specialists. From the very beginning, the process…read morewas organized, efficient, and incredibly professional. What really stood out was the level of responsiveness and clarity -- every question was answered quickly and thoroughly, and nothing ever felt rushed or transactional. Kirill's work, in particular, was exceptional. He approached my situation with precision and depth, clearly understands complex tax matters, and provided thoughtful guidance tailored to my specific needs. He didn't just prepare forms -- he analyzed, explained, and ensured everything was optimized and compliant. That level of attention builds real confidence. Tax work can easily feel stressful or overwhelming, but with Kirill and the Dimov team, it felt structured and under control. I would absolutely recommend Dimov Tax Specialists to anyone looking for high-level expertise, strong communication, and meticulous execution.

*This review is for the service and not the quality of work*…read more I originally tried to get hold of the firm to get an appointment for a few questions and potentially some tax prep assistance for a new business. The AI agents were horrible, kept sending me through the same loop, and ultimately I gave up and left a 3*. After their prompt response by a real person to set up an appointment, I decided to take down my review to potentially leave a better one if things went well. I was scheduled for an appointment about a week out, and at the time of the appointment, I called the number and received another virtual assistant (not AI to my knowledge), who told me that the person I had the appointment with was on another call. I left my number and was never contacted, until about 3 weeks later, by email calendar invite, telling me that another appointment had been set up in another week or two. I already got my issues handled by another CPA and will be working with that other firm in the future. I hope this firm here gets their virtuals and artificials straightened out soon

Brian and his business are AMAZING. I initially needed Brian's services when I received a large tax…read morebill from the IRS. I made the mistake of doing my taxes on turbo tax and 2 years later owned the IRS a significant amount of money. I contacted Brian on a Saturday morning and he had responded within the hour to have a plan to fix my problem. Brian indeed saved me thousands of dollars and most important a ton of unneeded stress. This year I used him to file my 2018 taxes and it was worth every penny. Very easy online portal to upload information and necessary documents. Brian had my return completed within 2 weeks with very prompt and thorough work. I highly recommend Brian and his services. Never again will I use a cheap tax service such as turbo tax... don't make the mistake I did by using turbo tax.. rather use Brian and his services. A+ all around!

I contacted Brian through Yelp a couple weeks ago and made it VERY clear from the beginning I was…read morelooking for a quote for tax filing/preparation only for this year. My initial message: "Hi Brian, I am just looking for a quote for 2023 tax filing, not to actually start it yet. We will be needing help on a couple of tax situations this year." His exact response: "Understood. I will provide a quote for 2023 during our call. I just sent the questionnaire." He then emailed me the questionnaire; I put I was interested in "Individual taxes" and sent it back to him, I NEVER put I was interested in Investment management or any other kind of financial services. So he knew this whole time I only wanted tax preparation. He still proceeded to call me today and asked a few questions related to our tax situation. Then at the end of the call he asked if I was looking for someone to manage our investments, I said not at this point...we are only looking for tax preparation now. His tone completely changed and he abruptly told me in a condescending manner we are not a good fit because they are saturated with tax preparation clients and he's looking for clients who want investment management. I was pretty shocked at the change in his tone and his annoyance once I told him I didn't need someone to manage our investments. Again, I made it VERY clear from the start I was looking for tax preparation services only from my initial message AND the questionnaire he had me fill out. I honestly don't know why he still called and was rude when he knew he couldn't take on any more clients who only wanted tax filing.

Granted, this was the first year that I have to actually pay taxes but that's on me, not on Ian. In past years I always got a chunk back but this year was a different story. The key words in that previous sentence are "in past years." Why, you ask? Well... I picked Ian as my CPA a few years ago because I'm never going elsewhere. I don't want some old fart dying on me and leaving me to drag all my paperwork to someone else to figure out for the first time.

A couple years ago I got the kind of scary mail from the IRS you never want to see, and it's…read morebecause of a straightforward W-2 mistake David made on my income tax return. He still won't pay me back for it. The facts: - In 2021 I got a decent-sized raise at my job. (Brag?) When it came time to file my 2021 taxes, David accidentally COPY AND PASTED the much lower income from the previous year, 2020. So he underreported my income by a lot. Of course he had my accurate 2021 W-2 -- but he was too disorganized, rushed or careless to use it. - Not only that, he copy and pasted some *unemployment income* from 2020 into my 2021 return, so -- to add insult to injury -- not only did he massively under-report my salary, he also slightly over-reported it with non-existent unemployment income. - I ended up owing almost $10K in back taxes, interest, and an extra-high penalty. - After I paid the back taxes, he tried to help with appealing the penalty. But he did this by sending the IRS a half-hearted ashy letter about numbers that were "entered incorrectly" and he didn't specifically request or argue for an abatement in the penalty. - (I also paid a ridiculous amount of interest.) - Unsurprisingly the IRS rejected this attempt and ruled that the penalty must be paid. - It's around this time that communication with David York became especially spotty, where he said he'll call the IRS...but then he fell off the map and it took weeks to hear back from him. - I paid the penalty by the deadline. - He called the IRS (after the deadline lol) then emailed me claiming that the "the penalty and interest have been removed" and I'm like...wtf are you talking about. That's probably because of what I paid already?? - I've asked him to reimburse me just for some of penalties and interest, $1,852.68 -- which doesn't even include an earlier interest payment or state penalties that his mistake bubbled up. Gave him an address to send a check. But he hasn't. It's been radio silence from David York. - "You should hear back from me by Monday" is the last thing he wrote to me, back in January 2025, words to echo on into the void forever. - Silver lining though, I recently learned Rihanna's accountant also owes her money so now I have something in common with Rihanna. Read the one-star reviews. They'll save you a lot of time and $$$$$ in the future. (Oh, and side note not related to this income tax fiasco -- on a return for my S Corp at the time, he didn't even provide us the full return, just an authorization page that was missing Form 1120-S and the K1, so we were scrambling the following year looking for it.) I also noticed his business has a second profile on yelp, which might help him get around these one-stars. You should choose literally anyone else to do your taxes.
