I entered into a verbal contract for Wasi to provide services on my behalf. The paperwork he provided had this address on it. After some time I contacted Wasi and he only returned one phone call. He did leave me in a bad way as I did not know if he was going to handle my 2014 taxes for the longest time after saying I was his client and quoting me a price for his services. I am filing a complaint with the State and IRS. https://www.cba.ca.gov/forms/complaint/ http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f14157.pdf I would encourage anyone who had a similar experience to do so as well. read more

Tax & Financial Services - The real location of Tax and Financial Services! - Accountants Near Me - Newark, California

Wasi is the BEST!!! What can I say, I am probably like most people nowadays that are financially challenge and every extra dollar will put a smiley face on my bank account. Making me believed that it was fate that brought me to this office. I was on Yelp and I accidentally hit something on my phone and it went to Tax & Financial Services reviews. Lo and Behold!!! All reviews gave them 5stars! Not a single unsatisfied yelper. The service they give must be so good to be able to get that high rating. Since my schedule for some other accountant is not until another day, I decided to call them first. I didn't get to speak with anybody when I called but my phone call was returned within 15minutes. Wasi, the owner is very accommodating even when I was just inquiring and asking a bunch of questions over the phone. He was already helping me out to think I have yet to meet him in person. He is so pleasant so I decided to set an appointment with him later that day (they are open on weekends as well but by appointment only). He definitely knows what he is doing and will try to do everything to make sure that I get the highest return that I can get! I have used different tax services in the past and I can say that from now on, iam sticking with this guy! Super honest and reliable service and really cared about their customer! My tax returns? Let's just say, the highest that I got ever! I am happy!!! Thanks Wasi! You're the greatest!!! :) read more

See all

After paying $250 for a professional federal tax return, the IRS shows NO record of our tax return ever being filed. I've tried to contact Wasi multiple times via email, phone, office visits, even Facebook, and NO REPLY for weeks! My husband and I trusted him to take care of us, and now we are left feeling stranded and taken advantage of. Now we have to decide if we try to file again, and risk causing issues with the IRS because of his lack of professionalism. Update: A few minutes after posting this review, he finally decided to contact us. He has now filed our return (6 weeks after our meeting with him). The IRS just now shows that they've received our return - I know because I checked last night and it was not shown. In addition he altered the refund amount we were supposed to receive by $400 with no explanation to us as to why and no updated copies of our return. UGH!!! read more

Startup businesses need to go see Wasi I had an idea for a business last year but had no clue how and where to get started. I was referred to Wasi by a friend and it turned out to be a great decision to go see him. He helped me set up the new corporation last year, took care of some existing business issues and really helped me keep things straight. My worst fear about all this was ugghh taxes and really needed someone knowledgeable to handle all that for me. If you are a startup or small business thats looking for real business planning tips and not just irs mumbo jumbo, you need to go see Wasi. read more

Honest service and goes beyond expectations! I worked with other tax firms before and none of them were as thorough and cared enough to get the best return possible for us. Wasi is very knowlegdeable and asks all the right questions. At our intial meeting I expected to get a certain amount, but after more calculations and things I didn't know could be written off legally, I came out with a higher return! I would definitely recommend him to anyone and will be a returning customer here on out! read more

I usually do my taxes myself but this time I needed some professional assistance as my taxes were more complicated than usual. I did a search online for Income Tax Preparation in Fremont area and up popped Tax and Financial Services. I made an appointment and met Mr. Wasi Imam, Enrolled Agent. The first thing I noticed was that Wasi knew his stuff. Having done my taxes for many years and even studied personal and business income taxes in college, I was impressed by Wasi's grasp of even the more complicated areas of income taxes. I was aware that there are numerous areas of income tax that are somewhat ambiguous and I was happy to hear Wasi say that when the tax law is ambiguous he interprets the tax regulations in the favor of his client. In the end, I was very happy with the way Wasi had completed my income taxes and I would not hesitate to use him again or recommend his services to anyone.. read more

DO NOT have this company preform any service!!!!! All I asked Mr. Imam to do was draft a letter to the State Tax Franchise Board about late fees and penalties for which I was charged $200 upfront by him. I made numerous calls and sent emails requesting a draft of the letter and asking if service was ever filed. After 3 weeks Mr. Imam called me back......he "was on vacation after a busy tax season" he casually informed me. I asked again if he could email a copy of the letter. He said he would, but again a letter was never produced. The State levied my check. Given the lack of any action taken to return a simple call or email & other reviews here, I believe it is safe to assume that Tax & Financial Services never preformed the service for which they were paid for. read more

Wasi, the accountant will only be nice once you get your money, once he set you up, he will never answer your call anymore. He charge an arm an a leg and do not be fooled that he gives you disccout,, he over charge after comparison with other accountant. I gave him negative star read more

Terrible customer service! Based on these earlier reviews, my wife and I asked Wasi to do our ammended 2009 tax return. Originally, our initial experience with Wasi was very positive but when the IRS sent us a response to our ammended tax return stating that we owed more money a few weeks ago, our calls and emails to Wasi have gone unanswered. Over the last few weeks we have both tried to call and email him asking him to look over the IRS's response and the only response we received was an email saying that he had just returned from vacation and that he would contact us next week when he returned to the office. That was 3 weeks ago and now we're very disappointed and frustrated. Its unprofessional and rude to not return phone calls and messages from customers that have already paid for your services. read more

Wasi, the owner is very professional and knows his stuff. He offers sound tax advice, even if you are not yet a client and he is willing to go the extra mile to make sure you get the service you need. Flexible meeting times - even on weekends. His office is conveniently located off the 880 and across from Newpark Mall. Highly recommended. read more

Wasi is very professional and experienced. What my old CPA of 2 years couldn't figure out about my stock sales in 2 months, Wasi was able to figure out in 2 hours and was able to explain to me in detail how he came up with the figures. read more

Very honest Service !! Before going to Wasi, I talked to one of reputed tax consultant in Fremont area whose staff were not able to understand my basic federal tax questions. After that I went to Wasi - I got an after hours appointment same day. Wasi took time to understand my particular tax situation. He answered all my questions to 100 % satisfaction. If you are looking for honest tax filing/consultation, I'll rate Wasi as one of the best tax consultant in Bay Area. read more

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTAT HIM TO DO YOUR TAXES. Initially as a new client he was attentive to us(to take your money). Now he has horrible service. Never answers calls. I have been trying to contact Wasi for one month because the IRS doesn't have my taxes, which were suppose to be filed by Wasi 4 months ago. I have called him probably over 50 times in the past month, sent him emails and gone to his office several times. This guy doesn't even have a license on record. I looked him up as a CPA in California with the CPA board and as a tax preparer lic, no records of him or his company. I will be filling a complaint and law suit for damages and fraud. read more

A very professional and welcoming environment. Wasi helped my boyfriend with his taxes and was a tremendous help. It took about 1.5 hours for him to finish the taxes, but we didn't mind because we spent the time shopping at Newpark Mall. Wasi was able to help us find expense deductions that we would of never thought of, which in the end saved my boyfriend a bunch of money. I highly recommend these services, especially if you have a 1099 form, owe money back to the IRS, and looking to find some tax credits. read more

This is my second year with Wasi and there will be many more to come. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and truly values his clients. Wasi loves what he does and it really shines through in his work. Last year he helped me get more money back on my return and he's helping me save more money this year too! read more

Wasi and his team were very helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process of filing my taxes. Working with Wasi and his team instills a sense of confidence knowing that everything was properly prepared to achieve a maximum tax return. Thank you very much Wasi and I look forward to seeing you again next year. read more

Absolutely exceeded expectations. Wasi and his team promptly replied to all my questions. This is the second year in a row that I have used them, and I will for sure be back multiple times this year to go over some financial decisions as well as to do my 2012 taxes. Great service! read more

Wasi is more like a trusted business advisor who helps me come up with business strategies in the short term and long term. The accountants here take the time to personally go over my financial statements like balance sheets and profit and loss statements in plain English and makes sure that I understand how that impacts my business bottom line. At this firm they have gone beyond just accountancy or tax preparation and continue to work side by side with me as I hopefully keep growing my business. read more

I have been trying to contact someone at this company for over a week now. I have spoken to the receptionist 3 times and have left one voice mail. I am looking to engage them for their tax services but with this unprofessional behavior I think I will seek out others for their service. Not a good way to handle potential new clients. read more

No Thanks, I wouldn't come back even if you offered the next ten years of returns for free. Too little too late. I incurred alot of penalties for your unprofessional behavior and when I needed you to fix things, you were not available. The only reason I got a response from you on yelp is because I wrote a review and its tax season. read more

Wasi is not answering to any emails on the last month and we are going to file him at the police , please let us know if anybody saw him in the last weeks, he has important documents for our company read more

Wasi is a highly unprofessional individual. I paid him ~$250 for tax preparation and even after 20+ emails and phone calls he is yet to file our return and would not return our emails or phone calls. I should have checked these reviews first - it seems I am not the first one and this is standard behavior with this individual. read more

Do not go to Tax & Financials for any kind of service or advise. Mr Wasi Imran Imam will charge you $ 200 for 40mins of his time and will give you advise which you can find yourself on the internet. This guy is a rip off artist and a liar. He thinks he is smart but trust me he is not. You are better off going to some other place who will provide value for your money. read more

Wow!! This doesn't surprise me one bit. I tried visiting Maria the tax lady who used to be located on the 3rd floor but now she is on the ground floor of the building in the back. I had no idea she moved. While I was on the elevator looking for her, Wasi the owner of Tax & Financial kept harrassing me to let him do my taxes. It was late in the evening and there was no one else on the 3rd floor and he didn't look trustworthy to me. I finally had to find Maria's office myself because he kept telling me there is not another tax office in the building. She is a very busy taxpreparer and she took the time out to comfort me because I was feeling very nervous. The police were called and there is a report on file. The things I am reading that is happening is so wrong. There has to be something you all can do about this guy! read more

Tax & Financial Services is a great team to have on your side. They were able to provide key guidance regarding tax credits and deductions that I had no idea about. Saved me a ton of money!!! Definitely recommend their services. They'll be my tax accounts going forward. read more

Wasi has done my taxes for the past three years and has always done a great job and made the process easy for me.
