I'm not a numbers guy at all--thankfully, Chris is. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Over the past few years, I've had a lot of inconsistent income, which always made tax season stressful--especially when I ended up owing more than expected.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Chris took the time to really understand my situation, and not only was he able to get me a refund this year, he also helped review my prior returns and file amendments on past taxes to get back even more money. They may charge a bit more than some tax professionals, but when you consider how much they're able to save (and recover), it more than pays for itself. Thanks Chris! read more

I hired Chris to help with my business taxes after a really complicated situation, and he handled everything quickly, efficiently, and with total confidence. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He's incredibly knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and has an excellent bedside manner that immediately calmed my stress.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd previously worked with a big-name accounting firm, and the difference in service was night and day -- Chris genuinely cares and delivers real results.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Finding chris was a big relief last year.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I hadn't file taxes since 2020 and had an amount due to the irs from 2019.

I have been searching for the right accountant for a while now, and I was really unimpressed with most of the ones I found through Yelp. That is until I had a phone consultation with Chris. I could tell immediately by the questions he asked that he wanted to have a full understanding of my tax situation (which was a bit of a mess) to give me an accurate quote. He really went above and beyond in his correspondence with me before asking me for payment, which really showed me he truly cares about helping his clients. On top of all that, he quoted me a price that was extremely reasonable for all the work he has to put in to clean up my situation. His company also provides bookkeeping/business management services. I was able to have an extensive meeting with both Chris and Lev to come up with a plan for how to get my business on the right track. The peace of mind they provide is worth their weight in gold. Don't hesitate--definitely reach out to Chris right away and you will see for yourself what an asset he is to any person/business. read more

Hands down the easiest, quickest, least painful way of filing taxes! I highly recommend Chris because of his quick response time, follow-up, meticulous chronicling, and professionalism. First time I've ever written a review for a CPA and it is much deserved. If you're reading this review in search for a tax guy, Chris is that guy! I'll definitely be back next year! read more

Have used Chris for two years now for my personal taxes as well as my business taxes. He did an amazing job at communicating and going over all of my book keeping through Quickbooks. Saved me so much money comparative to what other accountants and tax professionals wanted to charge me. He is a real pro and even helped me get a sizable return on my taxes this past year even though I unfortunately had to close my business. He did a great job reflecting the losses that I took with my business into my tax return. I will continue to use him as he is the best tax accountant I have ever worked with. Highly recommend working with him! read more

Working with Chris from Strategic Tax Relief was an absolute pleasure. Let's face it, tax season is not something to look forward to.

I worked with Strategic Tax Relief last year and they did such an amazing job that I decided to come back for my second year! I moved from out of state and really didn't know where to start on my taxes and their team made my state-to-state transition so seamless.

I will continue to refer people to this team because of how great my experience was. Thank you so much!! read more

Your tax-problems end here. read more

Before meeting Chris, filing my taxes always seemed to be a marathon with other CPAs. Issue after issue, late filings, and mishandled paperwork were just some of my many burdens. Fast forward 3 years working with Chris, calling it tax relief would be an understatement. Even during COVID-19, he was able to remotely handle all my finances and maximize my tax savings as he always does. 5 stars highly recommend. read more

Chris is fantastic. Last year he helped us file our taxes as my husband and I couldn't figure out why we weren't filing correctly being a newly married couple. He reviewed all our related documents and answered both our questions in a reasonable amount of time. Totally satisfied and would recommend him to friends/ family read more

He's so available and explains things very clearly. We love working with Chris! read more

Happy to share that Chris is still awesome. He has given valuable advice for my personal and business taxes, and remains to be the only good accountant in this city.

Just the best. Thanks, Chris! read more

The quickest and easiest way to do taxes. Chris also makes himself super available to answer questions, and responds in a timely manner. Thank you Chris! (Edit: I didn't even realize my first review of him said basically the same exact thing.... So let's add consistency to the list ) read more

I found Chris (because of his outstanding Yelp reviews) when my husband became aware that he had overlooked filing a tax return a few years prior. Chris was very, very responsive to our call for help! He deciphered the notice my husband had received from the government and gave honest advice on how to handle the situation quickly and appropriately. He also was extremely patient with our questions. So helpful! Our impression of Chris is that he cares about giving high quality professional service and isn't just in it for monetary gain. I can highly recommend Chris! read more

Chris is very professional, and I plan to work with him for my future tax filings. He answered all my questions and responded to my emails very promptly. He also met his predicted completion date for my filings, which I appreciated. read more

Where do I start. He's such an amazing tax guy. I was referred by someone because I had a previous tax made but something was off so I reached out to him and he fixed my taxes now I am able to just email them all my information and we can submit my taxes for the new year. I recommend him hundred percent. He knows his work and explains to you what the situation is. Thank you all for your help. Wouldn't have got my taxes fixed if it was it for you. read more

I recently got a letter from the IRS claiming that I owed $2,700 for a tax return filed with my former accountant. I was concerned because I had never received any communication like this from the IRS. Chris was able to explain everything to me and he took the time to review my tax return and realized I was missing a valuable credit. Upon filing my amendment, I actually got back more than $5K!! So not only did I not have to pay what the IRS was claiming, but I also was able to get a refund that I deserved to get years before. Thank you Chris! read more

After having so much trouble with my tax preparer, I knew it was time to find a new tax preparer. I went on Yelp to read the reviews on tax preparers.

Chris and his team including Tomik have been a godsend for lack of better words. We came in with a year worth of unbalanced books and a mess of an accounting system. Tomik worked for weeks to balance and clean up our accounts before the year end. We have since decided to have them on to do our book keeping services and provide us with consultation on any tax related questions moving forward. If you're a small business looking for a boutique accounting firm to deal with you directly, then this is who you want to work with. They are one on one, honest, timely and reasonably priced. Not only did they do their job, they educated me on the process and taught me how to do much of it myself too. read more

I once again used Strategic Tax Relief for tax return services, and again, they exceeded my expectations. With interest rates going crazy, I ended up re-financing my home twice during 2020, and Chris didn't complain about the extra work he had to do, with all the additional forms. Not to mention, he made it a point to ask about the stimulus checks and was up to date on how to account for those on the return. It was a very quick turn around once I gave him all the documents he needed, and my returns are already processed. read more

I believe he has your best interests in mind based on our conversations and his review of our tax details. read more

I recently had to transition from an old CPA who was non-responsive and would rarely get back to me in a timely fashion. I've known Chris for many years and decided to transfer all my taxes to him. I have a property, small business, kids, spouse, and a company I work for so it can get a bit cumbersome to do. He was able to do all the books for the business, personal taxes, and business taxes and completed everything timely. He is super responsive to all questions and inquiries which is a breath of fresh air. I drop off all my documents without worry and trust that he'll get our books done right and get the best possible refund from the gov as possible. I highly recommend him for all accounting needs. read more
