Heidi Scanlan (Solid Rock Financial Services) has singlehandedly taken on my entire group of friends and family as clients to prepare their taxes for many years. They all had a wonderful tax preparer for decades who eventually retired. Concerned about four things - (1) honesty, (2) knowledge of all current tax laws for the best outcome, (3) possible red flags to avoid, and (4) the cost of getting their taxes done with such high standards, they were so relieved when I referred Heidi! I've been her neighbor for 28 years. We raised our families together. I have seen her act with incredible grace and integrity through some of life's most difficult challenges. I had full confidence that she could step into the retiring tax preparer's place and be a godsend to my friends and family. I was right! Our taxes are prepared efficiently and in an almost miraculous timeliness, even with procrastinators ( a true nightmare of a last minute workload), and she greets every single customer with the same open smile and kindness! No guilt tripping. No exasperation. No stress. "No fuss, no muss!" She has consistently gone the extra mile for us, like when we misplace our copy, she's on it and has another printed up for us, immediately. And with that same easy and compassionate smile! My friends and family run the gamut of having a business and needing extensive profit and loss Schedule C done to newlywed couples needing guidance combining their earnings and choosing which category to file under to my youngest kids who have employment and just need a simple tax preparation to my self-employed kids who earn just enough to file. And her service is affordable! My personal business, combined with being a single mom of 5 could have been total chaos, had it not been for Heidi's help and guidance with my tax preparation. There were times when the IRS had made errors handling my returns and Heidi walked me through remedying these. She even acted as my advocate in communicating with the IRS! She is a well-known and well-respected entity in the tax business. I am proud to have her as my tax preparer and friend. -Sana(Sandra) Christian read more

Having just moved to the Sacramento area and requiring to file a joint return for the first time, we needed to find a tax accountant with the knowledge and experience to handle a complex personal and business tax return. We used Yelp to identify a highly recommended tax advisor in the area, and Solid Rock Financial Service popped up on our search. Following an initial consultation with Heidi Scanlan, we were able to fully outline the scope of the numerous activities that needed to be addressed. It was evident that Heidi's experience and pleasant demeanor allowed us to feel most comfortable in getting all of our questions answered, and fully confident in the responses we received. Heidi's response time to additional outstanding questions was terrific, and the final completion of the tax return was completed in a most timely manner.
