Until I was walloped with an overall taxes owed balance that was 10 times more than I'd ever paid a couple years ago. I found Sean and he looked them over for me...he verified that I had done my taxes correctly except for a credit that I had missed! A significant credit! I will no longer be doing my taxes by myself. Now I spend my time trying to keep from wondering what other things I've missed in the past years. In the meantime, I will be using Sean and US Tax Guru for my taxes. Through the process, Sean does not talk over my head. He includes me in the process, values what I have to say, and absolutely takes care of me as a client on a level that is far more personal than I have encountered in any dealings I've had with financial support providers.

We engaged Direct Tax Relief after receiving a massive penalty from the IRS for an information…read morereturn. The cost for engaging them wasn't cheap, but was a fraction of the penalty. It took many months for IRS to respond to their letter (partly due to the government shutdown that was going on during the time). However, the IRS agreed with their argument in the letter and waived the penalty. It was a huge relief to us from a very unfortunate and minor error in the form that we had submitted a couple years ago. Super happy with the outcome and I'd definitely use Direct Tax Relief again should something like this happen with the IRS again in the future!

After some research, I came across Steadfast Accounting--and I'm so glad I did. I worked with Liana, who immediately made me feel welcomed and reassured that everything was going to be handled properly. From start to finish, the process was professional, secure, and stress-free. They handled my taxes with great attention to detail and discretion, which meant a lot to me. If you're like me and feel cautious about who you trust with your taxes, I highly recommend Steadfast Accounting. They give you the confidence and peace of mind you need to file without worry. What's more? They gave me a great price and I received my refund in the time frame they had suggested. I will be coming back to them next tax season and hopefully work with them for many years to come.

Ed Mofrad, and his entire team, have been MORE than what I could ever ask for in a group of tax…read moreaccountants. Not only are they highly knowledgeable in what they're doing, but each one has been more than accommodating to me in answering my questions, responding almost immediately every single time, and making sure I receive the best service possible with the most clarity they can give to me. A quick story: I was referred to them about three years ago and was actually dreading to make this call, because not only was I behind on filing my taxes for the last three years, but I had no idea HOW MUCH I would be owing and felt like I was digging myself a bigger and bigger hole that I wasn't too sure how to get out of. One of the very first things I remember when I actually made this dreaded phone call to Ed Mofrad's company was speaking with Ed Mofrad himself who reassured me that, 'this happens all the time, please don't worry, I used to work for the IRS, and everything will be okay.' It wasn't his words that were reassuring to me as much as his tone of voice that soothed my heart and made me feel like no matter what this process was going to be like to get me back on track, he, and his team, were going to be kind. This was a big deal to me, for some reason, and he was already providing it (kindness). With that being said, Ed Mofrad, and his entire team have completely caught me up to this present year which is 2022 and are still answering my questions immediately and clearly, getting on a virtual call if I need it, and making sure I feel comfortable and educated every single step of the way. Ed Mofrad and his entire team have truly become people who have a dear place in my heart believe it or not, and it all started with just being my tax accountants. They have been wonderful to me.

I've been with GT Tax & Accounting for two years now as both an individual and business client…read more This review is highly personal and long (hence me leaving my name at just initials), but maybe one that will help another person like me. The short of it is that Grigor and his team have been nothing but professional and responsive in all the work I have needed to get done with them, but if you want the long version, keep reading. For me, dealing with paperwork of any kind is like being put through a meat grinder with the sort of anxiety that makes functioning difficult. I come from a background of poor working class family and a great deal of immigrant trauma, dealing with bureaucratic nightmares a child isn't actually equipped to handle because I was the oldest and fluent in English; some of that has given me PTSD and even OCD. Having no money myself and riddled with the aforementioned issues, I suffered greatly through the process of starting a business. With zero connections of my own, I was trying hard to find a tax professional and accountant who would be able to advise me and provide a wide range of services as I scale up the business; in the process, I found a lot of dead ends, and as ridiculous and soapy as it sounds, I even have been openly laughed at by a few lawyers and accountants who felt I was wasting their time as someone with little $ value - these people went as far as to give me bad advice, saying I should just do everything under the table since I can't possibly pay for their time. Grigor was the first dependable, responsive, and professional accountant I came across in that journey, and I'm very grateful to him and the one lawyer who took me seriously and referred me to him. Even though my startup situation and business idea are ones that people don't take seriously, he treated me as any client should be treated. Whenever I had questions, he made sure to answer as quickly as he could, especially outside of busy seasons. He's given me advice and reassurance along the way, too, when I hear so many nightmarish stories from elders and others about how they get nickel and dimed for simply asking a question about services rendered or compliance. Initially, I braced for being brushed off after paying or having my tax filings de-prioritized due to me being a client with probably the lowest $ value, and this never happened. The filings have always been prompt, just as the communications have been. While life has not gotten easier for me and I have had to table my business for the time being, I know that if I give it another shot, I would go through his firm again, and I will remain an individual client all throughout. It's hard to dodge scummy professionals out there - the people who have landed on Grigor and his team's doorstep should consider themselves fortunate. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Grigor, for treating me with the dignity and respect all of us deserve.
