We been working with our Accountant, Ara, for the past few years, and I can confidently say it's…read morebeen one of the best professional relationships I've had. Ara is not just an accountant--he's a true advisor. He helped us set up our LLC properly through the California Secretary of State, guided us through estimated tax payments, and introduced us to tax strategies we didn't even know were available. What really stands out is his proactive approach. He doesn't just prepare returns--he thinks ahead, plans strategically, and makes sure you understand what's going on every step of the way. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed, I highly recommend Ara and his company.

Before finding him, I contacted several other businesses and none had the experience or knowledge to handle this type of correction. Parviz approached the situation with professionalism, clarity, and strong technical expertise. He explained the process, stayed organized, and followed through. His pricing was also reasonable. If you're dealing with a complicated tax issue and need someone who actually understands how to fix it, I highly recommend this business. Parviz is excellent at what he does.

This review is for Dan Medlen Jr. - Not to be confused with Dan Medlen Sr. who operates off Soledad…read moreCanyon in Santa Clarita. Dan Medlen is the most unprofessional of all CPA's I've ever encountered. He is a good CPA - meaning he knows the tax code and laws - but he runs his business like it was a taco stand. I've been his client for 5 years and every year he did my taxes on time and thoroughly. This year, ever since he moved to the new location, he has been a). unreachable by any means of communications b). ignoring calls and emails c). not showing up to appointments scheduled well in advance. He bumped me from our first appointment without setting a follow up date. For the whole week before April 15 I called several times daily. Finally when someone picked up I couldn't talk to him directly but was told that he was going to file an extension. I don't know if he did or not. I set an appointment for May, took half-day off from work to meet with him and then 5 minutes before our appointment was called by his assistant/wife that he won't be there and to reschedule. Unfortunately I don't have that kind of luxury. On the phone they were very unprofessional and hung up in the middle of the sentence when I called them "unprofessional" essentially proving the point. Subsequent attempts at contacting them failed. Now I have to find a new CPA and potentially deal with late fees and penalties. If you want your taxes done at all - don't go to this guy. While I'm sure he knows his craft - he can't run a business worth a damn.

I was with this firm for years. How it ended is why I'm writing this…read more My LLC's 2024 California return had errors in the ownership percentages that threw off the PTE tax allocation. I found them, not him. I asked him to fix it, he amended the return, and then never sent me a copy of it. So the only 2024 return I ever had in hand showed an overpayment of about $3,600. The actual corrected number was about $1,400. When I brought on a new accountant, I gave him the outdated one, because it was the only one that existed as far as I knew. That wrong credit carried into the next year and I got a state notice for roughly $2,500 plus penalties and interest, all because of Sam's mistake. That's fine. People make mistakes. I raised the issue with Sam on June 6. To his credit he owned it at first. June 18 he wrote that he wasn't going to pass the blame and that he'd get the notices and cover the penalties and interest "as I always do for other clients." Then again on July 1: "I am willing to work for the notice to reduce the penalty. I will take the responsibility for that." Then he went quiet for a month. Emails ignored. Two messages left with his office, never returned once. Nothing filed. Penalties running on MY account the entire time. August 5 he finally wrote back, and only because I'd given him a deadline. Not to file anything. But instead to demand more money. He said: "I told you that the open invoice should be paid first. It is very clear. That is my condition." He would not file the abatement unless I first paid him $1,010. That invoice is its own story. He billed me for the 2024 tax return when it was originally completed, I paid it in full the day it came in. Months later he told me the number was wrong and said i need to pay more, on the same return work that had to get amended for his errors. I said no then and we both closed it. He dug it back up 17 months later to get out of something he'd already committed to twice in writing. I ended up filing with the FTB myself. So here's where I landed after years of paying this firm - Sam cares more about collecting every dollar he can than about doing the work or keeping his word. A few hundred dollars of his own mistake wasn't worth an hour of his time. $1,010 was worth two months of mine and lies. Get yourself an honest CPA with integrity. Sam, unfortunately, has shown that he is not that.
