Zero Stars! I chose Sarada Majumder, CPA after seeing her highly recommended with excellent ratings on Yelp and Google. Many clients rave about her professionalism, thoroughness, and reliability over the years. Sadly, my experience was the complete opposite and one of the most frustrating and costly I've ever had with a tax professional. We hired her specifically because of those glowing reviews, but she completely ghosted us throughout the entire process. We sent all requested documents promptly and followed up repeatedly via email, often with no response for weeks. When she did finally reply, it was only with excuse after excuse: she was out of the country, then claimed she never received our documents (despite our delivery confirmations), followed by more vague delays and no progress. She explicitly promised to provide regular updates during the process so we would know where things stood. She never once followed through on that promise. As a result, she did not complete any of the agreed upon work, our tax return was never filed on time, and we were hit with extra IRS penalties and interest that we could have easily avoided with a reliable preparer. Worse, I've seen a troubling pattern in some of her other reviews: when clients raise similar issues about poor communication, delays, or unfinished work, her responses show a clear pattern of lying, downplaying legitimate complaints, making excuses, or outright denying problems instead of owning up to them. Do not trust Sarada Majumder with your taxes or accounting. What appears to be a highly recommended professional based on online reviews can turn into a nightmare of unresponsiveness, broken promises, and financial consequences. This was an expensive and stressful mistake. Save yourself the hassle, penalties, and frustration by choosing someone who actually communicates and delivers on their commitments. I fully expect her to respond to this review with more lies, made up justifications, and rationalizations for her unethical practices, just as she has done with other negative reviews. I will be filing IRS Form 14157 A (Tax Return Preparer Fraud or Misconduct Affidavit) along with Form 14157 to report her misconduct to the IRS Return Preparer Office. This includes her failure to file the return, unresponsiveness, broken promises for updates, provision of false excuses, and causing us direct financial harm through avoidable IRS penalties and interest. read more

I have been going to Sarada for my taxes for the past 4 years. She was responsive and did a great job at first and then all of a sudden she stopped returning my phone calls and responding to my emails. I still don't have completed tax return for 2023! This is horrible customer service! I have already contacted the BBB. If I have to pay a penalty to the IRS I will be livid! Lawyer up Sarada! read more

I have been working with Sarada for over 4 years. She is an excellent CPA, personable and kind and really knows her field. She has helped me manage my personal taxes and has helped me incorporate. Sarada has advised me in ways that have saved me ten thousand dollars already. She provides more than accounting services. Sarada goes the extra mile and really cares. I recommend her highly. read more

We have been working with Sarada for past 5 years and will continue to work her is unlike H&R Block "Pay me Extra to protect you from future inquiry from IRS" she stand by her work, when we had inquiry she took care of it and it sorted out with endless patience. Being small business owner last thing we want is to answer constant IRS automated letter with questions, wait on the phone forever to talk to someone in IRS and still won't get right answers. The best we way we found to work with Sarada is get her all the documents and a have phone chat with her well before the filing date and then after filing she will reach out to you and give you insights for future tax returns and to maximize savings with personal attention. read more

I've been going to Sarada Majumder for the past 3 years and appreciate her professionalism, knowledge, expertise, and consideration answering my tax-related questions. She uses the latest computer technology, can meet with clients remotely during Covid, and has done my personal taxes as well as my LLC. I recommend her highly. read more

I have had 3 businesses and 2 corporations. Now I am retired but Sarada, is by far the best CPA I have ever had. I have her now my do my personnel taxes since I sold my business. She is so Fast, so efficient!!! Knows all the tax laws. Reasonable priced. I would never go any where else. Just moved to the San Diego area and drove up for her to do my taxes. That is how amazing she is. And the person that I sold my Business to in Los Gatos recommended her to me and she does her Corporate taxes. We are both so happy and sleep well at night knowing our taxes were done by such an expert and a wonderful person too!!! Carol read more

Sarada is patient and extremely knowledgeable in her craft. I had to deal with some scary tax issues regarding some IRS notices and she helped me re-file two returns. I was so grateful for the way she worked with me, even remotely at times with her secure server for documentation. Thanks again, Sarada. I will be recommending you to my colleagues at Apple for sure. read more

I've contacted Sarada multiple times and left messages and emails. She has not gotten back to me. This tells me that's how she would do business too. If I need a document I'm sure it would take forever for her to provide it. Don't bother reaching out to her. read more

This is the third year I have trusted Sarada with filing tax returns associated with my father's Special Needs Trust (SNT) and personal tax returns. She also filed three complicated gift tax returns when we set up the SNT. Even before the Pandemic, she utilized a State of the Art computer portal for securely uploading and downloading documents, so that the entire tax filing process may be done remotely, ideal and necessary for me since I live 2.5 hours from her office. Not only is Sarada extremely competent and knowledgeable, but she also impeccable integrity and compassion, This was evident in the way she approached some difficult life circumstances that I have faced, the most recent being my father's passing in November 2020. But in the two years prior to that, she went the extra mile for me on several occasions, clearly seeing that I was managing the care of my father's escalating illness while tending to the personal needs of my immediate family. She even filed extensions for me when it was obvious that I was going to miss the first deadline due to circumstances beyond my control. Working with Sarada has been one thing that has been easy during difficult times. It has been a relief to have the personal touch of someone I know actually cares about her clients, rather than working with a random CPA who only cares about shuffling through as many clients as possible during tax season. I give Sarada my highest recommendation. read more

She's your basic CPA. She'll input what you tell her into her "turbo tax" system like the basic version of H&R Block's entry level service would do but doesn't go above and beyond to help you maximize your deductions. She doesn't ask any questions so if you don't tell her she won't ask. If you're high net worth or looking for someone to really guide you I would steer clear. read more

Gave me great advice and spent so much time explaining all of my options. My girlfriend and I needed tax advice and also are trying to make some new investment decisions. I feel confident that we got what we needed here. But will continue to consult Sarada regarding our decisions along the way. read more

She is a great CPA and really knows her stuff. She was be to help me quickly on my situations. One side note on her business location, please be aware that Yelp shows the wrong address at Campbell but instead it is located in Saratoga. Her business is now in Saratoga so be careful not to go through Yelp direction. read more

I have been working with Sarada for over 4 years, and I am so glad to know her. Sarada has helped us not only with me and my wife's personal taxes, but she has managed taxes and incorporation paperwork for several business I am involved with. She is much more than an accountant, she is a trusted advisor. I highly recommend Sarada. read more

Back in 2012 with tax season closing in quickly, I needed to find someone that I enjoy working with. As a self-employed individual, I really appreciate people that are hard working, honest, and forthcoming, especially with taxes. Sarada is great. Sarada is articulate, logical, and provided useful information that's pertinent to providing me the best tax strategy for my return. 2011 was my first year self-employed and I truly was dreading tax season. She took a lot off my plate, which allowed me to focus more on growing my business. Fast forwarding to now, I'm still a happy camper. Highly recommended. read more

I was referred to Sarada by my attorney three years ago and she has done an amazing job for our small growing business. She is diligent, patient, persistent, intelligent, professional and friendly.

I became Sarada's client about one year ago. I really don't understand much about taxes and deductions and so forth. The way Sarada explains things makes it so much easier to understand. She answers all my questions thoroughly. She's always ready to help and answer any questions I have. Being busy, I don't have time to do research in finding the new rules implemented by the government. Sarada is on top of things and notifies me of important changes the government has made or will make. I truly appreciate her expertise and knowledge. I'm not just money for her. She actually cares for me and therefore my entire family. Thank you Sarada, I will definitely recommend anyone to you. read more

Sarada was extremely helpful helping us file our taxes. She took the extra time to go through all our individual items and provided guidance on options and filings. She even helped file taxes for my parents who had a good amount of international income. Sarada is very reasonable and goes the extra mile to help ensure your taxes have been filed accurately. I would highly recommend Sarada for all your tax filings. read more

I have had several meeting with Sarada, and her willingness of offer free advise has been invaluable. She has access to both personal and corporate data, and quickly researches topic on the spot. Currently, I am waiting to complete some previously filed documents with several accountants on the east to transition to future business with Sarada. I strongly recommend her expertise and services. I encourage you to take the time to let her look at your accounting needs ! read more

Sarada is an outstanding CPA and professional person. She prepared by personal and business tax returns last year which contained a few unique complexities. Those complexities caused numerous follow up issues with the IRS and Franchise Tax Board. I was impressed at well she understood the implications and my options for addressing them to my maximum benefit. What most impressed me is how hard Sarada was willing to fight to get my issues resolved. She knows her tax law and how to deal with the IRS and FTB. I highly recommend Sarada Majumder for all accounting and tax needs, personal and business. read more

I'm writing this review because for the past two years I have enjoyed working with Sarada to do my families taxes. Prior CPA's made it more complicated, more stressful, and without the kind and considerate attention Sarada provides me. I know I am in very competent hands and highly recommend her. Thank you SARADA, your attention and consideration is greatly appreciated. Sincerely Darrell Lewis read more

Sarada has been my CPA for over 3 years and I am very pleased with her work. As a small business owner I have used CPAs for my accounting and tax filings for a number of years. Sarada's professionalism, knowledge, and availability is heads above most CPAs I've worked with. Sarada keeps me current with new laws and always has time to sit and advise me on the best approaches to my tax and accounting issues. Unlike many accountants/CPAs, she is also well versed in complex international tax laws and their implications for a U.S.company and individual. Whatever, the size of the business or for personal tax filings, Sarada provides unparalled service and advocacy for her clients. I can professionall and personally recommend her without reservation. read more

Sarada has world class service. I was very unprepared for this past tax season. Sarada encouraged, urged and stayed up very late to make sure I was filed on time. She takes care of all questions and revisions quickly. I feel confident referring my clients to her which is the best form of endorsement I can provide. Thank you Sarada for one more year of good work! read more
