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.

Career and Life-Changing!…read more Working with Karie is the best investment I've ever made in my business. Even after earning a MBA from the Rady School at UC San Diego and 6 years of working hard to build my firm, she was able to absolutely revolutionize the way I run my company. Not only are revenues up 60%, my stress level and total work hours are down at least 50%. We immediately saw results on our bottom line within a month or two of working together. A year later, my whole world is different (in a good way!). I've learned to create the processes to run the business efficiently and to get the right people in the right roles. We've cleaned up the systems and prepared the business for a potential sale! I couldn't be happier with the work I've done with Karie and her team. My only regret is that I was referred to her a full year prior to working with her, and I don't know why I waited so long. Highly recommended, worth every penny and more!

This event is the EXACT opposite. You truly leave this event with a week-by-week plan for the next quarter that is based on where your business is at today and your goals for the future. You have a full day of coaching and education that is worth easily 10x what they charge. The networking is phenomenal - and that's saying something as I attend this event virtually from Washington! Karie is a wealth of knowledge and insight and an incredible educator. I know several of her clients that she's worked with and the results they have seen in their businesses have been nothing short of AMAZING.

This was the second year Monique prepared our taxes, and we couldn't be happier with the…read moreexperience. The first year we actually switched tax advisors midway through the process because it had become confusing and frustrating, and finding Monique truly turned things around for us. Starting with her from the beginning this year made the entire process a breeze. Her website is very organized and intuitive, which made uploading and providing all the required documents simple and efficient. She communicates clearly, is readily available to answer questions, and takes the time to explain the process so you always know what's going on. What really stands out is the value she provides--not just in completing the return, but in making the entire experience smooth, transparent, and stress-free. You feel confident that everything is being handled carefully and correctly. Overall, it has been a great experience working with her. We're very happy to have found such a reliable and professional tax service, and we would absolutely recommend Monique to anyone looking for knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy tax support.
