By this point it was August, everything was paid for, and we were getting married 9/15/2023. We were both completely panicked as i spent a lot of money booking this honeymoon for us.

Chris at FlexTax has been my tax advisor for about three years now, and I can't recommend him…read morehighly enough. He's incredibly thorough and detail-oriented - he double and even triple checks everything to make sure your return is accurate and that he has all the right information. He's also very responsive and flexible with scheduling, which has made it easy to fit tax meetings around a busy workday. Chris really shines with more complex situations. He specializes in startups and equity compensation (ISOs, RSUs, etc.), as well as investment portfolios, so if you work at a startup or have a more complicated tax situation, you're in great hands. He takes the time to walk through everything, explains complex issues clearly, and makes the whole process feel much less stressful. He goes above and beyond by looking at prior years and making amendments if necessary to put you in a better position for future tax years. I originally started working with Chris based on a friend's recommendation, and after three years as a client, I'm very glad I did. If you're a startup employee or founder, or anyone dealing with equity and investments, I highly recommend Chris at FlexTax.

This firm went from exceptional to completely unprofessional overnight…read more I stayed with them for years solely because of Sam, who provided outstanding service. After the ownership change, it's clear that level of care is gone. What replaced it is a rigid, impersonal system that treats clients like transactions rather than relationships. They failed to notify clients of a major policy change regarding tax extensions until just days before the deadline--putting me at risk of non-compliance. When I raised concerns, their response was essentially: "This is our policy now, and if you don't like it, go somewhere else." No accountability. No attempt to fix the situation. No access to leadership. Just scripted responses from a support team. For a firm that benefited from years of loyalty and referrals, this is an incredibly poor way to treat clients. Avoid. UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO OWNER : Your response proves my point. After years of automatically handling my extensions, you changed the process right before a deadline, offered no real support, and told me to pay $240 or figure it out myself. Had I not followed up, I could have been penalized -- and now you're trying to turn it around and frame it as my fault by calling me "not engaged." After years of loyalty and referrals, this wasn't a transition -- it was a downgrade to a transactional model.

What I expected was competent legal support, clear direction, and meaningful advocacy. Instead, I experienced poor follow-through, minimal effort, and a lack of attention to detail. From early in the process, there were avoidable mistakes, including an incorrect VIN number in the original communication. In a vehicle-related legal dispute, that is not a small detail. Accuracy matters, and that mistake reflected what became a broader concern: I repeatedly felt like I had to push the matter forward myself. Rather than feeling represented, I felt like I was managing the attorney. Communication and follow-through were not at the level I expected, and the case did not appear to be handled with the urgency or diligence required. When the matter reached the point where litigation needed to be considered, it became clear to me that Justin was not the right attorney to carry the case forward. My concern is not simply that the outcome was unresolved. My concern is the pattern of limited effort, lack of attention to key facts, and failure to provide the level of advocacy I needed. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Justin Hsiang for a matter that requires persistence, litigation readiness, or active case management.

I was originally referred to Alex by a co-worker who had a very positive experience with him. I never had tax issues in the past, but really got my family into a tight spot with the IRS and had significant back taxes due (in upwards of $200K). Within minutes of connecting with Alex (reached him on the first call attempt), we quickly covered the high points of our issues and even discussed a range of possible outcomes. I felt better immediately and could tell I was working with someone who knew what they were doing. Alex is a no-nonsense guy -- he let me know what he needed from me and he said he would take it from there. Alex immediately established contact with the IRS and kept me posted along the way with quick updates. Within a couple of weeks, Alex had negotiated a far better than I could have hoped for result for me and my family and we could not have been more pleased! Unfortunately, due to some poor planning on my end, about seven years later (very recently), I became a "repeat customer". Of course, I reached out to Alex and, once again, he came through for us big time. As much as I have enjoyed working with Alex, I am hopeful this will be our last opportunity to work together in this regard! However, having come through for us two separate times, I feel very qualified to provide a super high recommendation for him. read more

If you have ever had to deal with the IRS, just know it isn't easy. Without getting into too much detail I had a serious issue with the IRS involving a company I closed and personal tax debt. After calling multiple tax attorneys and doing many hours of research I decided to hire Alex with Tax Helpers to represent me. Once hired, Alex spoke to me about my options and walked me through the process, checking in regularly until all the paperwork was finalized and a settlement was reached with the IRS. I am EXTREMELY pleased with the outcome of working with Alex and the settlement that was reached. Alex is very professional, and knows his stuff! I would absolutely recommend his services for tax relief to everyone I know. I highly recommend!!! read more
