Personality wise, he is a bit reserved but make no mistake, he is a wealth of knowledge. His filing fees have also been fair. One particular anecdote, when we were filing taxes last year (2024), I actually made a mistake in reporting how much estimated taxes I have paid over the year to IRS. Because of this, we miscalculated and were fined $1000 by IRS. Thai was quick enough to give a call to IRS and ask them for a waiver on the penalties since it was our first time, and he was able to get that waived off for us.

Her services are very affordable, based on what you need done and what forms you have. I don't recommend waiting until the last minute to have her do your taxes though. I just got lucky that even though they were complicated for me she knew what needed to be done. I highly recommend getting your taxes done early and have Ann do them. I will be coming back next year even though my taxes should be much easier. I will never use the big chain tax preparers again only VieTax Services for me!! Thank you Ann!!

My usual tax preparer was not accepting any last minute filings, which I totally understand, so I had to find another option fast. I came across this place on Yelp and noticed they had a lot of great reviews, so I decided to give them a try. There was an additional $100 fee for the last minute service, but it was well worth it. The staff was very informative and took the time to explain things that my previous tax preparer had never mentioned. The process was smooth, professional, and stress free. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for someone knowledgeable to help with your taxes, especially if you have procrastinated like I did!

He made me feel like I came to the right place immediately. And I left. Extremely happy ... expected to be crying, and I did, but with relief and joy. He explained everything as he was going thru each section. He knows what he is doing and I will be back year after year. I arrived early and one customer was leaving and I asked her... have you been coming here before? She said no, this is my first time, but I will be back next year ... I got some comfort from that, but still shaking in my boots... but I left like she did ... a very happy and will be a repeat customer Thank you Jose.

This year, I wanted to ask a few questions about my taxes before moving forward, so I asked if I could schedule a brief meeting. Dan immediately told me, "No, that's not how I operate." It wasn't just the answer that bothered me--it was the way he said it. He came across as abrupt and rude, making me feel like my questions weren't welcome. As a client, I think it's reasonable to want to understand my tax situation and ask a few questions before having my return prepared. I was essentially told that if I wanted him to do my taxes, I needed to simply drop off my paperwork and that was it. There are many tax professionals who not only do quality work but also take the time to communicate with their clients and answer questions. Because of my experience with Dan's attitude and lack of customer service, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend Sutherland Tax Services.

After negative experiences with other tax professionals in the Bay Area, I was referred to Premier Tax Advisors through a friend. My intro consultation was with Nam and I IMMEDIATELY knew that my tax situation was in good hands. In that first meeting, he provided a wealth of knowledge and value. I came away from that intro with more insight into taxes than I ever had at previous tax firms. The ease of my 2022 tax filing process was amazing. Every aspect was seamlessly conducted through email, phone, or video chat. I simply uploaded all relevant documents into a shared online folder, and Nam's constant communication kept me informed about the necessary steps. The entire process was incredibly organized. If you're like me and have a tax situation resembling a financial maze, save yourself the hassle and entrust your affairs to Nam and his team. They not only make the process easy but also deliver a level of expertise that's unparalleled in the Bay Area!

Since I had only been using TurboTax before, I didn't have much experience in working with professional tax advisors and I contacted Yan after reading some reviews on Google/Yelp. The experience of using her for my CPA was completely different compared to the previous one I had. She was very detailed and meticulous in checking each detail of my situation, and also didn't pretend to know everything - if there was an issue that she wasn't clear about, she didn't hesitate to look up the necessary IRS documentation to make sure that we weren't making any mistakes. Even after our meetings in-person going over documents, she would also follow-up and double-check to make sure that I hadn't inadvertently overlooked something (and she did find a bunch of details that I had filled in incorrectly as well through this process!) She was also more interested in making sure that I understood the process and what each document was for, rather than just taking everything into her own hands and just asking me to "rubber-stamp" documents. I really appreciate her spending the effort to help with my tax literacy. Would definitely recommend Yan if you're looking for a reliable CPA who looks out for your interests, rather than just treating you as yet another client!
