I've been working with Niki at Forest Accounting and Tax for the past two years, and I can honestly…read moresay she has been a game changer for me and my business. From day one, she came in and got everything completely organized, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. Niki is incredibly knowledgeable and always stays on top of what needs to be done. She doesn't just handle the numbers--she actually guides you, keeps you informed, and makes sure you're always a step ahead. She takes care of my business and makes sure I'm always compliant, which gives me a ton of peace of mind. Anytime I have questions, she's quick to respond and explains everything in a way that's easy to understand. What I appreciate most is how much easier she's made my life. Running a business is already a lot, and having someone I can fully trust with my accounting and taxes takes a huge burden off my plate. If you're looking for someone reliable, professional, and truly invested in helping you succeed, I highly recommend Niki at Forest Accounting and Tax. She's the real deal. She's not only affordable but plays a huge role in my success

They set up a phone call with Massimo to help me out with a financial issue related to stock options from my former employer. Massimo has always been an utmost professional - he has listened to all of my concerns, always offering honest and helpful advice. We were able to get my issues with the IRS sorted and we have come back since to continue filing our taxes with him. There was even a follow up bill related to the same issue mentioned before, and Massimo was able to spot an error the IRS made, cutting our amount owed in half! A couple quick notes: I was not paid for, nor did I receive any kind of discount in exchange for this review. I'm a real human and this is actually my firsthand experience! I say this because all these reviews start to sound the same and generally fake over time, but I am an actual real person! While Massimo did politely request I write a review, I was more than happy to (of my own volition), since he has been such a great resource. I'm glad to help more people learn of his excellent services!

I had been with MOTA for many years but left after my 2024 returns were completed. They did both a…read morebusiness return and a personal return. They are very pleasant people, but not easy to deal with. Additionally, they are expensive. They charged me $140 to produce a single 1099-MISC, that I supplied all information for! Their new system and their demands became too difficult to deal with. Their questions seemed like audit questions rather than tax questions. And questions they should've asked about my taxes, they NEVER asked. They assume you know what should be submitted to them, and don't ask you any questions about what wasn't submitted. For example, in 2024 with the Mountain Fire in my neighborhood they should've asked about catastrophic losses. They know my address and know I live in the middle of many houses that were burned to the ground. They should've asked but never did. Fortunately, the question was asked for my 2025 return. Lack of competence or lack of leadership? Not sure which, but glad I switched.

The Rosson / Privity CPA team stepped up and provided immediate understanding, lead our required transitions and effectively implemented the resulting tax returns for 2025 and 2026. The initiative, kindness, and empathy extended to our family gave us great comfort and confidence in the team and the outcome of our tax returns.

We decided to move onto a new firm this year and now a year later they keep sending us bills - for the questions they answered for us (during the time when we were clients) and an extension they filed for us (when we were clients).
