Laura has been our CPA for the last few years and I can't say enough about her knowledge, kindness…read moreand support. We have a fairly complex tax situation ( multiple homes, multiple businesses) and generally are in a challenging tax situation. Laura's knowledge helped me with a tax error from a prior provider and saved me over 40k! She is always available for question and just a kind business woman. She is a credit to the community and excellent in her field. Her rate is very reasonable and this year she identified valid deductions from my rental home I hadn't even considered- just from a conversation! I went years thinking I could manage my own taxes as I am Financial services. Laura saved me close to 80k I would never have managed on my own. Trust me - let an expert help you and pick one you can trust like Laura!

After working with the same accountant in Los Angeles for more than 20 years, I was nervous about…read morefinding someone new when he retired,  but since I was looking for someone new, I decided search closer to our current home. I'm so glad I found Bean Counter. The name initially caught my attention (it's clever and memorable!), but the experience is what truly impressed me. I spoke with Kevin for an initial consultation, and he took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly while providing a clear and reasonable fee estimate. He made the onboarding process simple by sending access to their secure client portal for document uploads. We later met in person, and Kevin walked through my return step-by-step, explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand. He asked thoughtful follow-up questions that ultimately resulted in a better outcome on my return. He also shared a bit about his family and background, which made the experience feel personal and comfortable -- something I really value when discussing finances. The office itself is spotless, with ample parking, and conveniently located near several great restaurants if you want to grab a meal before or after your appointment. My completed return was delivered the very next day, and throughout the process Kevin and his team were incredibly responsive -- always replying to emails within 24 hours, often within minutes. Professional, friendly, and highly competent -- I recommend Bean Counter.

Elvie or Elvy however you spell it an African-American woman has been such an incompetent services…read moreagent from the first time that I called. She talks to you like you're stupid, like you're a child that doesn't know anything and has to be talked to slowly and interrupts you while you're talking. She does not know anything about customer service, she is very impatient, doesn't guide you properly, and is a coward to pick up the phone to give her name. She says there's a lot of customer service agents who pick up the phone, but in reality, It's a few who pick up the phone at the main Jackson Hewitt Office in El Paseo. Nicola Wong is the service agent who helped my family and I have yet to meet her who I hear is very knowledgeable in customer service and knows what she's doing and kindly explains to you any questions that you have. If this Elvie picks up the phone, I would suggest you to talk to somebody else, it's worth the wait. Unless you wanna be talked to like a three year-old. And I really hope she reads this because if you are, you need more schooling in social verbiage apparently. That or maybe teaching children in a kindergarten would be more suitable in your forte. This only encouraged me to do my own taxes and never come back to speak or see that thing again.

She was amazing…read morethe first year when I filed an extension and then couldn't find anybody else open during the nontraditional tax season.

There is parking in the front or the back. The office also has nice pens. We pick up one or two every year. Happy 10 year Taxiversary Nicola.

I used this CPA/tax service after my spouse passed away and I needed help filing a relatively…read moresimple return. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing due to lack of transparency. At no point before the work was completed was I told what the fee would be. I was not given a quote, estimate, or engagement agreement to sign beforehand. When I came to pick up my return, I was asked to sign paperwork at the front desk to file my taxes, but there was still no discussion of the total cost or breakdown of services. The CPA did not personally explain anything and remained in his office while staff handled the transaction. I was charged $500, which was much higher than expected for a straightforward return. I would have appreciated clear communication about pricing before any work was started so I could make an informed decision. I'm sharing this so others know to ask for a written fee agreement upfront before using this service.

I had three states to file plus federal taxes, a cross country move, W2's from 2 different states, stock sale and a closing of a 401k plan. Needless to say I was rather worried I would owe a huge sum of money. Stanley was referred to me by a co-worker that has trusted him with her business and personal finances for years. I made an appointment using the handy online form and quickly received a response from a friendly receptionist. ( I note friendly because most receptionists I've dealt with at various places in the valley are cold and unfriendly.) I was able to get the appointment time I requested. The location is easy to find using google maps and there is plenty of parking. Stanley explained his fees and the process as well as software they use for their tax services. Our taxes were completed and we arranged to pick them up. Signed where it was noted and we were off! He did a great job and found us some deductions we were not expecting. Everyone at the office we worked with was pleasant and quick to respond via phone and email. Thank you! We will be back again!
