This year, she simply stopped responding altogether. no replies to multiple follow-ups, no updates, nothing. My brother had already stopped working with her the year before due to the same issues: chronic delays, lack of urgency, and total disregard for deadlines. If you enjoy being ignored after turning in all your documents on time, getting ghosted after multiple emails, and scrambling to file extensions because your tax preparer vanished. then by all means, work with Irene. Personally, I'm done. Completely unprofessional and unreliable. Good riddance.

I can't recommend Brian enough! He took my dad on as a new client after his accountant of over 30…read moreyears retired and handled two business returns plus his personal return. After working with the same accountant for so many years, we weren't sure what to expect with the transition, especially with multiple returns involved. Brian made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free. He was extremely quick, responsive, organized, and easy to communicate with. He kept everything moving and made what could have felt overwhelming feel very straightforward. The turnaround time especially impressed us, everything was handled SO quickly without ever feeling rushed or like details were being overlooked. We're so happy we found Brian and feel completely confident having him handle my dad's taxes going forward. Such a refreshing experience and a huge weight off our shoulders. Highly recommend!

This review is for The University of Southern California Postdoctoral Scholar Benefit Program,…read morewhich is administered by Garnett-Powers and Associates. Quite simply, the "benefits" are a MESS. It's difficult to understand what your benefits are, the process to find a provider is lengthy and time-consuming, and once you find a provider, it's difficult to actually get the care you need. I was initially enrolled in the medical HMO, dental HMO, and vision plan. I discontinued the vision plan because it was nearly worthless. Then switched from the dental HMO to the POS plan. Let me point out a few of the problems: 1) NETWORK FILLED WITH 1- AND 2-STAR DOCTORS: If you look through the list of providers offered by the HMO, most are poorly rated online. Some phone numbers on the list don't even work (one was for a bail bond agency, another for a medical practice in another state, another number was disconnected). I finally settled on a provider that is only in the clinic on Tuesdays, doesn't take appointments, and has an office filled with homeless patients seeking opiates (as he is the only provider in the group who prescribes them). 2) MULTIPLE GROUPS (MIDDLE MEN) ARE INVOLVED: You have Garnett-Powers, who gives you Aetna, who gives you some medical group, who gives you the actual doctor. If you dare seek behavioral health, then it's a different company than Aetna, which they don't tell you. The process is so convoluted, I really pity anyone with mental health needs, as I doubt they will be able to jump through all the hoops. Then there's California Dental. They have a list of providers, most of which are 1-star. Their list is not updated, so when you finally find a provider who has decent reviews, they won't be accepting new patients. 3) EVERYTHING TAKES FOREVER: It took me over 4 months to get a needed ultrasound. I first had to see my PCP, who had to submit a referral request to the medical group, who told me to make an appointment with an imaging center, who told me that I wasn't covered to be seen there, so I had to make several phone calls to find a different imaging center, which I took a morning off of work to go to, where they said they never received a referral, so wasted the morning instead calling the medical group, then went in person to my doctor to get the referral printed, then made another imaging appointment, etc. They're lucky I didn't have cancer, because that would have been a lawsuit. 4) NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON: They, Aetna, Regal Medical Group, and California Dental have mastered the runaround. No one seems to know what's going on, and their records are always incorrect. The associate I have communicated with, Dane Pisano, is really nice, but that unfortunately doesn't make up for how awful this plan is. I work at USC Medical Center - why can't I see doctors here, like normal (non-postdoc) employees?
