We committed to working together, I felt they were unresponsive once we started uploading docs…read moreetc., and they then suddenly told us they'll no longer work with us with no explanation and didn't respond to any follow-up questions. We're now left with very little time to find a replacement and we'll probably lose a lot of money as a result of this surprise from them. Facts: we agreed to work together at the start of this year. They shared a portal for us to upload docs into. It took us a few weeks to get started uploading those docs but we're still within their purported time-frame in mid-February. We had some access issues that, for myself, they fixed; that was not fixed for my wife and we had to bug them several times in the last week before our scheduled tax prep meeting. They then reached out to me, saying that they can no longer work with us and that they'll delete all the files I uploaded to their vault. When I asked them why, they did not respond.

I've been working with Akram at All About Your Taxes since 2021, and I can honestly say he is the…read morebest tax professional I've ever had. Before finding him, I was going to a lady in Chinatown because her prices were cheaper, but I quickly learned you get the kind of service you pay for. Mistakes were made on my taxes, and I needed someone reliable and knowledgeable to fix them. That's when I found All About Your Taxes, and Akram helped me amend the errors and get everything corrected. Since then, I've stayed with him every year because he is extremely thorough, detail oriented, and professional. The entire process is always smooth, seamless, and stress free. Akram truly goes above and beyond. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, answers all of my questions, and always acknowledges my emails. Akram gives great advice that is tailored to my situation. I always feel confident that my taxes are being handled correctly. I am so happy I found Akram and I highly recommend him and the team at All About Your Taxes.

If you are looking for top-tier tax planning and preparation, Roslyn and her team are absolutely…read morephenomenal. I came to them with a pretty overwhelming and highly complex tax situation that required digging through multiple years of past transcripts. Roslyn didn't just handle it; she completely took the stress out of the process. She was incredibly thorough--catching missing documents, identifying potential deductions I would have never known about, and actually taking the time to outline a solid tax strategy for my future filings. What truly makes Roslyn different from other CPAs I've encountered is her patience. She has this amazing ability to take complicated tax jargon and break it down so it actually makes sense. Her experience and track record speak for themselves, but it's her personable approach to getting the work done that makes her the best in the industry. I couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend her to anyone!

I've been going to Roslyn Blackwell for about 10 years now, and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone…read moreelse with my taxes. She has always made the entire process simple, clear, and stress free. Taxes can be overwhelming, but Roslyn has a way of explaining everything so it actually makes sense. She is always friendly, polite, and extremely knowledgeable. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and takes pride in what she does. Every year she is consistent, professional, and efficient, and I always leave feeling confident that everything was handled properly. It's rare to find someone this reliable and easy to work with. I'm very grateful to have found her, and I will continue coming to Roslyn for many years to come. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and excellent at what they do.

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.

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.

I told them I am not really comfortable sending it over email and would prefer an in-person appointment. They said I would have to drop in at their home.

My wife and I worked with Belinda for the first time this year after a complex 2020 (got married,…read moremultiple W2s, a new mortgage, and capital gains / losses). I've not had great experiences working with CPAs in the past but Belinda came recommended via a colleague. Belinda is obviously doing well because her calendar was pretty full when we booked but we managed to find a slot in at the end of March. I'm glad we found some time with her because she's been the most professional and organised CPA we've worked with! What was good about the experience? + Data entry done well ahead of time, so our appointment was very time efficient + Belinda is very responsive to our questions + We didn't find a single error in our tax return - which unfortunately hasn't been true with other CPAs - She quickly identified overpaid tax in our 2019 return, which resulted in a nice refund We'll definitely work with Belinda again in coming years!

Fantastic service!…read more We'd been searching for a financial professional for a while now and was very surprised when we could book a one-on-one free consultation with Ms. Teh the very next day. We detailed our plans to her, she gave us her professional opinion and gave us homework to do. She was pleasant, communicative and obviously knew her profession. We'll be using her in future for sure!

She took the mystery out of all the mess and gave me the confidence to take ownership of my finances. I always felt safe to ask any question, and she always answered in a way I could understand. This coaching experience has been life-changing! I cannot speak highly enough of Christine Teh and the invaluable financial guidance she has provided.

Abe is not great…read more We filed with him this year because we are new to the area and wanted someone local. Initially he seemed reasonable, if a little frazzled. My wife and I did both our personal and business taxes with him. As tax season progressed he became less and less communicative and eventually cut off contact entirely. He filed our taxes months later and finally got them completed near the end of June. This was after months of near daily texts, calls and emails. None of which were responded to. We just got a notice that we owe more than $3100!!! because he failed file a form correctly and did not communicate with us regarding it. We will NOT be using him going forward and a number of my wife's colleagues who also did their taxes through him will be moving on as well because they had similar issues with him. I don't know if he overextended himself or what, but in the end his actions cost us thousands in unnecessary penalties and we hope to save you the same financial pain, headache and frustration of dealing with him and his company.

Several days prior to the deadline I reach out via phone and email numerous times. Its been over a week and not a damn peep. Screw Aegean and the whole team. If you couldn't handle the workload why accept the work? Or at least have the decency to let a client know that prior to the damn due date. Now I'm pissed, assed out and penalized for my personal taxes after not hearing from anyone and going to handle it myself.
