I didn't really trust that all the reviews were five stars, however, after my experience with Nick and his team I have no doubt at all. Nick helped me set up my company and made the process very painless. He was very knowledgeable and answered all questions I had. BTW I really liked his new office. read more

Nick is a great CPA! We found Nick through Yelp after finding out that our previous CPA had made multiple mistakes on business taxes. We were in a tough spot and stressed out but Nick was very prompt, listened to the issues, and was able to get them fixed. We're still dealing with past CPA issues and Nick has been excellent at helping us along the way. He is genuine, intelligent, and really does everything he can to do a great job. read more

Do not trust this CPA , extremely tricky guy, he wouldn't even show a you a simple form that are available every where, yet he wants his extremely high fees up front without much of service, you can find much better CPA and for half of his fees. be careful . read more

We have been with Nick for 2 years. He is very kind, honest and professional. He returns our calls quickly and makes us feel like a VIP client . We recommend friends, family and co-workers to CPA Corner. read more

We are so glad we found Nick as we were able to finally get the work done which was taking us over a year when doing it ourselves, but he finished it without any hassles or back and forth. He takes pride in being organized and thorough and that is very important when it comes to getting the job done right the first time. Great response time and communication is easy by email or phone, and no need to go in for an appointment for everything. Keep up the great work! read more

Nick and his team are patient and very helpful. We consulted for tax reporting, payroll, and bookkeeping services for our small business. Met with each specialist, arranged the best services, and received advice on transitioning from our previous firm, all while asking (and receiving answers to) a million questions. Thank you Nick, Kristal, and Karla for all of your help! read more

We got a big problem from IRS audit when we moved to Irvine this July. I need a very good accountant to resolve the issue. I checked on-line and found Nick. He has very good customer reviews and is a expert in IRS audit case. Our case is complicate because it involved previous accountant mistakes, our different responses to IRS in different tax years, and even IRS' mistake (yes, he found one IRS mistake)! I met with Nick and discussed our case. He called me later and said "you are lucky, I accept your case". I don't know what it means until later. He told me he does not accept every case looking for his help. If he think he can't help too much, he will reject the case. He spent a lot of time to study and prepare our case. I went to his office many times to discuss it (don't mention many phone calls between these visits). He also represented us to call IRS examiners to communicate and figure out the better way to appeal our case. When the IRS rejected our first appeal, he didn't give up. He discussed with us and called the IRS examiner again. He decided to do the amended appeal (another way to appeal). Finally, we won the case after 5 months fight back! If it were not helped by Nick, we would pay the penalty earlier and accumulate bigger problem later (if you have audit record in IRS and you didn't correct it, you will get more audit and penalty, and even go to jail for that)! Nick not only helped us won the case (for year 2013), he also corrected our 2014 tax return to seal the hole of mistakes. He will reopen our 2012 tax return to meet our best interest. He saved us money from the penalty and his fee is reasonable (he told me his fee is cheaper than other CPAs in Irvine). Most importantly, he saved us from IRS audit list in a big favor! Thank you, Nick! May you have a Happy New Year and every year! read more

If you are looking for a CPA, do not hesitate to go to Nick! He helped us save so much money and gave us great advice regarding business taxes. He is very professional and his knowledge in the matter is invaluable.Thank you Nick for all your help!!! read more

Nick did a great job. I called and left a message for him regarding my tax returns. He called me back promptly and set an appointment for the following week. He reviewed my previous tax returns and made some very good recommendations for the current year. Within one week my returns were filed and now I expect to receive my checks in three weeks. read more

As others do, in searching for someone to work with, I found Nick and his company on Yelp. He had excellent feedback so I decided to give him a chance. I contacted him just 2 months before tax time and he said he was just about to stop taking new clients but was wiling to meet. Upon meeting him, he made my wife and I feel very comfortable and after reviewing our prior years returns, he immediately spotted a couple of mistakes from the previous CPA we had used. He was very thorough and took the time to explain how new tax laws and old ones that we didn't know about worked. I especially like how he is pretty much paperless. You upload everything to his website and use his portal (which is very easy to use), and he uploads documents he needs filled out and completed tax returns. He also takes credit card! Amazing! I have not had a CPA ever take credit card before. Thanks Nick! Glad to have met and we will be using you for years to come! read more

Nick at CPA Corner was a pleasure to work with on my personnel taxes for several states and an S-corp business. Nick was very aware of the pertinent tax rules and identified some significant savings I was not aware of which reduced my tax expense substantially. Nick spent significant time on my fairly complex tax situation and billed me a fair rate that was consistent with his initial estimate. I was very pleased and highly recommend working with Nick. read more

I went to Nick because my 2017 taxes were a bit complicated and I needed someone who was familiar with the IRS forms I needed to file. Upon my initial visit, Nick had prepared the necessary IRS rules for my specific Tax Form requirements. Nick had performed some research and was completely prepared for my visit. He explained the details of the process, forms, charges and IRS interaction during my consultation and visit. I would recommend Nick to anyone who has complicated taxes and is looking for someone who will treat their taxes with the necessary due diligence and respect along with his attention to details found in a quality CPA. I have learned from past experience that paying a little more for a thorough and knowledgeable CPA is worth the investment and piece of mind. read more

I am really happy with the consultation I had with Mr. Pham. He was very patient, professional, and throughly explained all the questions I had about my freelancing business. read more

I have struggled with complicated personal and business taxes for years. I consulted with other tax advisors, but none were as thorough, astute and patient as Nick. He has been very responsive and taken extra time to explain the process of setting up my business and avoiding potential pitfalls. We have only had one meeting (and numerous phone calls and emails), but I am fully confident that he is a competent CPA who takes care of his clients. BTW, his services may not be cheap, but they are NOT higher than other CPAs. Our meeting ran well over the allotted time, yet he did not charge extra and he did not become impatient or end the meeting until all my questions were answered. I look forward to working with Nick and his team! read more

This is an update to my previous review. I upgraded my review as my husband and I have worked with Nick several times now setting up a new business and his firm handled our personal and business taxes this year. I have used TurboTax for years and felt it was a good program, however, it is very nice to have a real person to ask specific questions to and get the answers. Nick is very knowledgeable and pleasant as is his partner Kimberly. Thank you for your services Nick and Kimberly. read more

If you have tax problems, CPA CORNER will solve that. Mr. Nick Pham is the main man. He's the nicest & empathetic person you'll meet. Their services are honest to goodness, non judgmental and never take advantage of you. This is why I was so eager to make this review because they deserved to be appreciated. Since the time we started filing for an income tax, we tried to avoid being prepared by tax accountant due to hearing people's stories that they are expensive. We used turbo tax each tax filing. But this year, I am in trouble with debts. That may mean I got problems with tax, I was so worried about owing thousands to the IRS and I might not be able to pay it because My husband is the only one working for the entire family. We have more than 5 dependents. Financial priorities and household budget are too tight. We do not have enough money. But my problem couldn't solve on its own. I was worried that if I use turbo tax with my tax problem, I might get into so much trouble by paying more & I might be missing things that Could've saved me money. So, I had to seek help from the tax expert & luckily I found The CPA Corner. I first asked for a consultation. Mr. Nick Pham acknowledged my problems, found the solution and worked on solving my problem. He's very knowledgeable and very much updated about tax laws. After endorsing him my tax problem, I was stress free, had peace of mind & worry free. when I receive the completed tax documents for review before filing it, I was shocked that CPA corner saved me from paying too expensive tax fees. I even have an expected refund. Hiring CPA Corner to prepare your tax return may cost more than you pay for the Turbo Tax but I assure you, it is worth every dime. You'd be sleeping well at night knowing your tax return is well taken cared of, done the right way & saved you so much from paying extra tax fees. CPA corner definitely helped me with trouble & solved my tax problem. So when you're in trouble with taxes, do not hesitate to drop by CPA Corner. There is no tax problem they can't solve.

This is the second year my husband and I have filed our taxes with the CPA Corner and we are super pleased with our experience! Our previous CPA's had done some questionable edits to our write-offs and filings the last several years and we had been searching for an honest and thorough CPA. I feel like we found it here! Nick really helped us get organized the first year and this second year, we were able to upload all of our tax documents to their secure site.

I went in to see Nick Pham at the CPA Corner after searching many CPA's in the area. Nick was courteous and informative over the phone so I agreed to pay a consultation fee to see him for an hour. Nick asked me several questions before starting the consultation and wanted to find out that he was the right fit for me before the session began. Although I only paid for an hour session he met with me for over an hour and a half. This has been the most helpful consultation I have received to date while starting up my business. He is extremely well connected and wasted no time getting me to the right people to help me with my business.

To meet our October tax deadline, we believe Nick had to work extra hours to solve problems, completed and filed our tax returns on time.

He is a quite skillful CPA, experienced, responsive, and a delight to work with. He has my vote as the best CPA in town! read more

I first found Nick from Yelp and decided to give him a call. I was helping my client with some tax issues and Nick was very professional and was able to deliver what he promised.

My wife and I went to see Nick to do our income taxes. He was very professional and friendly. We had visited a few other CPAs in the area and found that Nick was the most knowledgeable and resourceful. He also has multiple certifications and many years of experience. Our situation was very complicated, with multiple investments, W2s, 1099s, rentals, different states, selling homes and buying homes. Nick had no problem understanding and even educated us on tax policies and gave us insight into the best way to get the highest refund. He spent the time to sit down with us to go through each item, line by line, step by step, being honest and no BS. We've been audited a few years ago so we needed to find a CPA that we can trust. Nick provided us with complete satisfaction, and even went above and beyond with financial planning advice at no extra cost. Since our income is high, we were expecting to pay uncle Sam, but was very delighted to find out that Nick got us a refund, and a huge refund at that! I know who I'm going back to do my taxes next year. read more
