Although they did a good job with my filing last year, this year has been a total disappointment…read more I contacted them by the end of January to get an early kickstart and avoid leaving this to the last minute. They asked me to send the documents as soon as they were available. After a while, when asked if they needed anything else, the answer I received in March was, "We will know when the returns are being prepared." meaning they didn't start at all. As a follow-up, I asked them if it would take some time; I could try to find someone else while there was still time. So surprisingly their response was, "Feel free to find someone else". This last response summarizes how they value their clients. I only gave them an additional star because they managed the situation better last year. If you're an individual client, avoid them at all costs.

She's a lifesaver: she's not only an amazing human being, she's a highly skilled CPA. Our doctor…read morefriend recommended her. And she didn't even know she was on yelp. She doesn't take clients unless it's a referral. I think because it's a lot of work and a large commitment. She charges accordingly but in our case that we have many years of back taxes it's worth the money. Peace of mind is priceless... I appreciate that she can handle stress on another super human level. Her mind is sharp, she has a special talent, I believe she was born with a special brain, and has a gift, to crunch numbers, handle red tape, IRS, deadlines and take clients through the daunting road of taxes. Always in a great disposition. She's fearless too. She has no problem going down the rabbit holes and making calls and inquiries. She is an amazing human and a top notch CPA. And someone we can trust with our entire lives on the table. If you have work to do with an accountant you really need to feel heard and be able to trust that person. It's an intimate process. No judgement. You shouldn't ever feel ashamed. We are all human. And taxes aren't something natural to any normal human being. So to find a wonderful person that can make this process smoother. And legally work their magic. It's a blessing. I feel blessed to have been introduce to Irina Kassil.

Irina was recommended to me by my financial advisor becuase the tax professional I had goofed up my…read moretaxes in a very bad way. The first thing Irina did was spend time talking with me both on the phone and again in person to learn about my tax concerns and issues. And now she's done with my taxes for 2018 and I have been completely impressed. Her pinpoint knowledge of tax law and tax consequences is profound. Her attention to detail is outstanding. She helped get my sole proprietor deductions in line to make an audit less likely. And she managed to work in all my expenditures into my numbers so that I didn't lose a single penny. And her knowledge of COVERED CA is quite strong. Irina is wonderful and I'm relieved & grateful to be her client.

I used to be locked into a dysfunctional relationship with a tax preparer who embodied everything…read moreyou wouldn't want your tax preparer to be: late, non-responsive, foggy-headed, and sometimes flat-out wrong. Why it took me so many years to break away is a question for my therapist. When I finally decided to go to a REAL professional I found myself here, in the amazingly capable hands of Jackie Thomson. It was like the storm broke, the Jesus rays shone down from the heavens, the sky cleared, and it was a cloudless-still-74-degree-day. And that's the way it's been ever since. Hallelujah. Jackie answers e-mail in a flash, gets the job done on time, exhibits work ethic excellence, is reliable, trustworthy, organized, and timely. Basically, she's the consummate professional and I'm left looking for her replica in every other service business I patronize. So, there you have it. Why you'd go anywhere else can remain your little secret but once you switch to Jackie (and Anspach) you'll want to blab it all over the place just like me.

They seem nice the one year we worked with them but in the past we have never had to pay both State and Fed... this group has no clue how to work any kind of tax law that will get you benefits and they charge 2xs as much as other offices. They would not see us in person because they were "too busy". But my sister in law called the same day and ( and it's not even St. Patrick's day in March) got an appointment within the same week.... they play favorites and if you are new and don't have more than 3 apartment buildings and lots of money you are a poor s-o-b who they don't have time for. Plus did I say we only worked with them through emails last year because they "didn't have time" to see us in person and never really got us as clients - they just charged over priced cost $$$$ and we had to pay for the first time in a long time where I don't think we had to. Save ur money and find someone who will work with you personally - these people suck! They are jerks over the phone and will not even let you talk to the person you want to talk to! They suck!!!!

Our taxes are moderately complicated with some W2 stuff, some self-employment business stuff, rental property, property sales (capital gains), etc. and while some firms I have worked with in the past struggled to get it all correct and submitted on time, Frederiksen-Crawford has been meticulous about getting it all correct, on time every single year. They are professional, informative, easy to work with, diligent, and effective and make what could be a painful tax season feel fair and relatively painless. Thank you Frederiksen-Crawford!
