Unfortunately he retired and sold his book of business to Hunter. My family and I should have switched yet we trusted the new company. This was a very poor decision on our part. In my 45 years of doing my yearly taxes this was the worst experience ever! Their personal touch, lack of communication and overall professionalism was unacceptable. My wife and I have never been more disappointed. Needless to say we will never use them again and would encourage anyone looking to use their services to re think that decsion.

Amazing! they are truly first class and will take amazing care of you and even your friends.read more

I am in the middle of a purchasing an existing business and got to a point during my business…read moretransaction where I had to submit an Allocation Form that was time sensitive. I needed direction from my CPA but he was out of town doing a business seminar. My situation was unique as the seller usually does the allocation in a business purchase but in my case, the broker/seller was pushing me to do it. I called several CPAs in the San Ramon/Danville/Dublin area to see if we could have a "filler" CPA go over numbers with us for this transaction. I must have called 25 CPA's in a day. Some answered and we're quick to tell me that I should push back, and make the seller do it. They made it seem like what I was looking for couldn't be done and they just didn't want to deal with it. Like many of the CPA's I called, Ken was busy when i first reached out. But his assistant or front desk person, Reese(if that's how you spell it) was very attentive with his responses. Ken is the only accountant that called back and only accountant that actually asked me the details/numbers of my transaction. He took time to understand the unique-ness of my situation and made sense of it. In a 25 minute call he educated me more than the 7 or 8 other CPAs with higher review ratings. After talking to him, I felt like I was given "survival tools" and "little nuggets" for my bigger, future entrepreneurial endeavors. He was so pleasant and easy to talk to. To be in the generation of customer service being taken over by robots and people treating everyone like numbers. Both Ken and Reese were so authentic and human in their responses. No overselling, no fake politeness. I have been with my CPA in Hayward for 10 years and Ken really has me thinking about switching over.

From the start of working together years ago, I've appreciated Ken's energy, expertise, and how he asks questions to see if there is any way he can help us do our taxes in the most efficient manner possible! I always appreciate his insights, his responsiveness, and his understanding of the tax laws and changes. As a business owner, he does a great job of looking at how I can take advantage of the tax laws (while being conservative enough not to trigger red flags!). I've recommended him to my clients for years so I figured I'd recommend him wholeheartedly here on Yelp as well!

I called and said "you didn't file my extension." he said we file extensions for all clients - (he never even asked my name). I said I don't care about "all clients" please contact the state. then I received another notice!! I called again. he still had NO IDEA WHO I WAS - NOR DID HE ASK!! I then nicely phoned and asked for my retainer back beginning in January. no reply. when I finally spoke with him, he said he would have to bill me for his time repeatedly calling the IRS!!! so, again, he never called the State!! also, since when does an accountant bill like a lawyer does? I've always paid a flat fee, revealed in advance as to what it would be. he finally (3 months) mailed my invoice. he charged the entire retainer of $400!!! for one phone call to the IRS and NEVER CALLED THE STATE ON MY BEHALF!!! this man is a thief!!! he also has not updated his address - guess that's because he doesn't want anyone to easily find him. STEER CLEAR - FAR, FAR AWAY 4/29/23 - do not believe a word he says. he also has no right to post any info - true or not - regarding my financial information.
