This guy should be in a dungeon somewhere. He has zero people skills, and several past unhappy…read moreclients. He rips people off with his ever changing "fees", which he doesn't list and changes on a whim (I have been a client of his for about 10 years). We stayed with him out of convenience, but the last 2 years have noticed his verbally abusive behavior towards long term clients, and have decided convenience is no longer worth it. He has actually yelled at a past client on the phone when he was confronted about his lazy and terrible work ethic, which ended up costing clients more money and hours on the phone with IRS. There are clearly issues, as normal professionals don't behave this way. We will be filing a complaint against him with the state of WA, nobody else should have to be put through such abusive and vile behavior. You're better off having your neighbor do your taxes!

I have always found him to be friendly and personable. Other things like Turbo Tax might be cheaper, but I get so much more back on my taxes when I use Vladimir that it is totally worth it.

Had moved here from out of state, had some complicated (what I thought was) tax related items. He is incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and most importantly he gets to know his clients. He's worked with us through divorce process tax filing and still does both mine and my ex's taxes to this day! He always asks about the kids, the sports and school experiences. He doesn't forget a single detail. He's thorough and easy to work with. Always makes himself available. Beyond that he is also a kind, caring human and customer service is too notch.

The Akopyan Group does everything for us; bookkeeping, payroll, 401K, tax planning, and all of our tax returns. I never miss an opportunity for a tax credit or deduction, I always pay the right amount of taxes to keep me audit-proof, and I get consistent and accurate monthly financial reports that I can manage my business by.

When choosing an accountant for my business, I had a short list…read more Because it was such an important choice for me and the success of my business, I interviewed 4 CPA's and paid them all for their time. To be brief, they all sucked. So, I started asking my massage clients (pre-Yelp!)...thankfully one of them recommended Mark. What I appreciate most about Mark is his clear confident attitude, without pretense. If I don't understand something, he will explain it to me numerous different ways until I get it, without making me feel like I should already know the complex federal/state tax structure. Mark is knowledgeable, reasonably priced, and gives excellent customer service. HIGHLY recommend.

After selfishly using yelp for years this is the first review I've given, for good reason. I found…read moreMark on Yelp, at the time he was the highest rated CPA and all the comments were influential. We had a phone conversation, a meeting, and I decided to hire him. Honestly, one of the best decisions I've made regarding finances and our business overall. I can't stress too much how better off your financial situation will be if you meet with Mark. He loves numbers and tax code stuff, which means he loves his profession and is always up to date on what's going on with the incredibly confusing tax situation in the U.S. So far, he found a mistake in our last tax preparer's returns and got us back over $4000, without asking for a dime because he was looking over the returns for another reason-that showed me he's honest. His cost for preparing this years returns compared to what we paid for last years was at least 40% less, and honestly they were done less than a week after I had given him the information- sometimes the next day. Our last tax person took months, and the returns were not even prepared correctly. My wife and I own a business and I went looking for someone who would be able to tell us how to do it better- I told this to Mark at our first meeting, and simply due to the information he provided us he saved us over $7000 in taxes this year alone, by changing the structure of our business and how we file. The invoice for the re-strucuring was only $330. If your'e reading this, you're probably looking for a good CPA, someone who knows his stuff and could possibly save you some money. I assure you, if you go with Mark, you will not go wrong.

This guy. You need…read morehim on speed dial. Not for Al Capone-tax-dodging reasons, just because you want a guy on your side as your pay your hard-earned money towards our taxation nation. Make it count...but in all ways fair. The Mr. of this equation has been seeing Brandon Ferguson for a few years. Before I got married, I had the simplest tax return on Earth: earnings, 401(k), and some donations. We own our home and rental property together, but I always LITERALLY left that to Mr. Ferguson to work out. So this year, I was married (!) and had to be included in all this tax nonsense. I say nonsense, but the truth of the matter is that I'm very familiar with taxes and how they work (stoopid work). Brandon checked in with us on the regular regarding tax paperwork he needed. He was like the proverbial mother-in-law in the GOOD way; and when we figured out our final return: newly married, rental property, residence property...I was happy that he explained everything in plain English, (I could have taken more tax jargon, really!) and [he] found each exception he could, explaining what needed to be taken, etc.) THIS GUY. He's a CPA. He studied [and paid the] same amount as everybody else to gain this certification. I find it funny that ONE person complained about the price that you pay for a person that is on both your side, AND the LAW'S side of things. He's looking out for your best interest ALWAYS; and frankly, H&R Block are terrific people, but to say that you have an accountant of your own is not some kind of weird status thing, it's knowing that you have somebody who will best advise you on how get through this crazy tax world. I'm embarrassed to say how little we paid for this amazing service, so I'll leave it to you to call him yourself. We found him via Yelp years ago and will never EVER look to another to take care of us. Deadly serious. THIS GUY. You need him.
