Mo deserves a ton of kudos for his diligence, responsiveness, integrity and overall effectiveness. This is my 2nd year going to him for my business and personal tax filings, and he's earned a spot on my core bench of human resources. Pre-Mo, I'd searched and tried it all to find that sweet spot of time savings, quality, and cost....online filing services, locally-installed software, big chain CPA firm, smaller/local CPA practices, and even attempting to file directly using IRS form instructions (not recommended unless you want a recurring headache). In the end, Mo's subject mastery, judgment, and professionalism made him the superior choice. read more

I have an extremely busy schedule throughout the year, but when it comes to tax season, Moe is the man to hire! For the past three years Moe has been taking care of my Business and Personal taxes. He's knowledgeable, informative, and always finds the time to answer any of my questions. Before Moe, my former CPA was making false claims on my tax returns resulting in the IRS penalizing me for large amounts. Moe was able to amend my previous returns and save me tons in the process. read more

I've worked with Mohamad for past two years and found him to be personal, professional and accurate. I had a mixture of out of state, in state and multiple job 1099 gigs. He filed accurately and offered good suggestions going forward. He's straight to the point and his office is sparse, but I'm not going for a massage: I'm going for an expert tax analysis. Easy to reach, park on ample side street parking. read more

Moe is a stand up guy! A fantastic CPA to have on hand! He takes care of all his clients and works tirelessly to achieve greatness. I look forward to working with him for years to come! read more

So, I don't often write reviews unless I find someone's service or product stellar. I came across Moe two years ago when I formed my Business Advisory C-Corp. I needed a CPA that could handle not just my business, but my wife's too. I found Moe via Yelp and ended up dropping my other accountant that I had for almost a decade. Actually, it was over a decade. Anyhow, having since changed my CPA's I have never been more confident in someone being able to handle my corporate & personal taxes. Moe is also sensitive to his client's needs, for example, we needed to meet some deadlines for our daughter's school and he made us a priority. I can also appreciate the pro-bono work he does, especially coming from working in the non-profit sector for a few years. Moe is someone that I would highly recommend if you need your business or personal taxes done efficiently. He's also a good guy. And if likes you, you'll find a bottle water, can of coke, and a Starbucks frappachino waiting for you on his desk before you arrive. read more

My husband and I are newlyweds and just recently moved to the Pasadena area. We decided to look into getting our taxes done by Mo. We gave him a call on a Saturday afternoon and he was willing to sit down and meet with us that same day. He was gracious enough to share his knowledge and recommendations regarding tax filing. In addition he addressed all our questions and concerns. Throughout the process he was very detailed and went over all the numbers with us. We sincerely appreciated his professionalism and transparency. Mo was always accessible via phone or email for any additional questions we had. He went above and beyond our expectations. Needless to say he will be our CPA from here on out. read more

Moe is the most honest and hardworking CPA I have come across. He helped me through some inventory issues which caused us to be behind 2 full tax years! Our old CPA couldn't fix the inventory issue, but Moe got it done and it was done correctly. If you ever need help with any tax issues, there's no one better than Moe. read more

This was my first time having my taxes done by Mohamad, I honestly can tell you that I experienced Excellent customer service and his work ethics was Amazing. I'll be coming back next year to have Mohamad help me again with my taxes and finances. Thank you!!! read more

This is my 2nd year filing my taxes with Moe and I couldn't be happier! He is very thorough and always makes sure I'm getting the maximum number of write off for my personal income tax.

I love working with Moe and recommend him to anyone who wants an honest CPA who will get you the most benefit. read more

Moe is an honest, reassuring CPA who guided me through an FTB audit that a previous (not so honest) tax preparer set me up for. His straight forward approach and flexible hours were helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend Moe for your tax preparation needs. read more

I should have written this review a LONG time ago, but here it is tax time again and here I am thinking about who I should hire to help with my taxes and the answer is easy--Moe. He is honest, accountable and available. Even after filing my returns last year, he was always available to answer other tax questions beyond tax time. He helped me devise a plan to minimize my exposure and liabilities and I am forever in debt to Moe and NOT the IRS. Thank you! read more

Grear job filing my taxes! Easy to work with. Flexible with his schedule. Overall very pleased with his service. read more

Moe has been a great help and stress reliever to me the last few weeks..he assisted me with my 1099 statements for my contractors and recently assisted me with filing my corporation. Both of which was on a deadline. He worked quickly both times. He isn't the cheapest however I believe you get what you pay for. He delivers results, and is generally very quick to reply to his emails every time I reach out to him with any questions and concerns. For a business like mine, that is invaluable and to know that I can always rely on him gives me confidence so far. read more

Moe was a big help to me. He was able to meet with me and go over my taxes on a holiday, which I appreciated. As much as I hate doing taxes, he made it relatively painless. read more

Be aware. This CPA will charge for any consultations if you do not hire his services. It works in a temporary office. Travels abroad and if you need anything while he is travelling, good luck! Truly the worst experience ever with a CPA. read more

Moe is the best at what he does and must say that he has gotten not only me, but my entire family excellent tax returns, more then anyone else.

If you want honesty, loyalty, and accountability when it comes to doing your taxes, than you have come to the right place. Please contact Moe and I promise you will be very happy.

Great solid tax work from this firm. I appreciate your knowledge of the tax law and all the help you provide

I found Moe through Yelp, called him, and was able to come in the next morning. He was gracious enough to walk me through each step and educate me along the way. I felt very comfortable with him and feel my taxes were in great hands. My taxes were fairly straightforward but he was able to ease my fears when I filed late and helped me complete my FAFSA for graduate school. He was also considerate with working with my student budget. Thank you, Moe! read more

I saw Moe's flyer at my school PASADENA CITY COLLEGE. I decided to give him a call and asked for an advice on education tax credit.I went to his office which was not far from PCC at all. I was very happy with the result! I'll be coming to him next year! Thanks MOE! read more

Moe has consistently gone above and beyond as a CPA. His attention to detail and care for each of his clients is what sets him apart from the rest. I abhor tax season, and I must say it's been a pleasure working with Moe for the past few years for both my corporate and personal tax needs. I would highly recommend him to any of my business associates and friends. Thanks for always taking care of business, Moe. read more

What a great experience! First time here to see Mo and he took the time to explain all the things that I never understood and shed a lot of light as to what changes I should make in order to be successful in my finances. I'm giving him 5 stars for the great customer service and he's so personable. I didn't even get a return this year.. I ended up owing more than I anticipated but I still believe he deserves 5 stars. read more

This is my second year working with Moe, I found his last year on Yelp! Moe is not only friendly he is very informative and very precise. Not to mention he is quick, he replies to emails and text in a timely manner and has done a great Job! Last year I did my taxes with him and I was living in the area, this year I moved to Orange County and have no time to meet with him, not an issue, I emailed him all my forms and Moe quickly took care of it all. Will definitely keep coming back to Moe and Definitely recommend working with him! read more

Can't believe it's been 5 years already since I first posted a review of Mo! Just want to say I STILL feel so fortunate to have found him and that he continues to be my accountant. He always reminds me around the 1st of the year to start getting ready for 4/15th and this year I will file my taxes sooner than ever before (no more frantic last minute: yay!) He is patient, kind, talented and charges extremely reasonable prices. If you are looking for an accountant you can truly trust and rely on, you need look no further. He's simply the best! read more

Mohamad has been a blessing when we were having so many tax issues. He patiently worked on our case until one by one, all our problems were resolved. I can send him messages anytime and he would respond at the soonest possible time. I have learned more about QB online and find bookkeeping so much easier now. I highly recommend Moe! He made my life with numbers so much more comfortable. read more

Mr. Mohamad Dakhil is one of the best CPAs in Pasadena. He is smart, personable, and competent. I met Mr. Dakhil few years back at a charity event. I have small produce distribution business ($1 Million) that requires sales tax filings, income tax filing, and other SOS reporting. Mr. Dakhil is a man that I always depend on - given his 16 years in accounting and taxation. His tax education and experience speak volumes; he graduated from one of the best business schools in California coupled with his proven professional career as controller for one of the largest independent retailers in Southern CA. During his schooling journey Mr. Dakhil represented his school in Regional Tax Compition and volunteered with assisting low income families in preparing and filing taxes in a program called VITA. If you looking for someone to fight for you and put your interest first, look no further. read more

I heard about Moe from my college and decided to file my taxes with him. Overall he is very professional and really cares about his clients. I will be visting him next tax season. read more

Moe is very professional and knowledgeable. We had a complicated tax situation and called several accountants but none of them could answer our questions to our satisfaction. In fact, they attempted to charge us for their research time as they tried to figure out the answers. However, Moe not only knew the answers, but was able to resolve the situation very quickly. He is very responsive, friendly, and works hard on behalf of the client. Glad to have found a reliable person to help us with our taxes and we highly recommend his services. read more

Friendly, prompt, professional, and works around the clock during tax season (the craziest hours I've ever seen). An excellent CPA for personal taxes and for advice / questions. Great guy. read more
