I particularly appreciate the pre-filing questionnaire-which helps make gathering documents and preparation a breeze. The Tax Dome App is incredibly convenient for uploading files on the go. Viet and Clare stands out for their excellent communication, meticulous organization and deep expertise. I'm thrilled I discovered them on Yelp and definitely will be hearing from us next year!

I wanted to edit this review, because it made me sound like I reviewed while mad/upset…read more I have been working with this company for 5+ years, & I used to file single. Once I was married & we had complicated things to add, we made sure to go to Viet. I used to get to make an appointment with him in person & he answered any & all of my questions, before I filed. But sadly COVID hit & things changed to online. My husband & I have changed careers several times since 2022, & we had a baby, so there are several things to add into your taxes. This year, we spent over $15k in medical expenses, had our first child, & hoped we would get some kind of a tax refund. But unfortunately that didn't happen. When I asked about adding money to our IRAs, or why we didn't get to file itemized, or how else we can reduce our tax bracket, we were told it was a "paid question that required a paid appointment". Anyway, I think you can get your own taxes done for free or less than you're charged by this guy. He can't help you with basic questions without requiring money so... stay aware & ask questions!

I needed emergency assistance filling some past taxes since I was moving out of town. I had a lot…read moreof concerns and questions since I had many 1099s as well as different investments in stocks and cryptocurrencies. Got on the phone with Will and he was able to reassure me and answer all the questions that I had before we got to work. Will is super knowledgeable when it comes to filling taxes with cryptocurrencies and investments which is something that 99% of any other CPAs struggle with. Due to my limited availability, we ended up opting to just have will file my taxes online via email. After sending him all the paperwork necessary, Will said he'd work out my taxes the day after. Rest assured the next day came by, and before filling, Will sent me a couple of forms that needed to be signed, and my taxes were done! Will is hands-down the best and most honest and ethical CPA I've ever worked with, he always goes above and beyond to answer any questions as well as give any recommendations of any blind spots you might have. I was so lucky to have him work on my Taxes and will definitely work with him on any future fillings. If you need a CPA who's super knowledgeable on Tax codes, investments such as stocks and cryptocurrencies, as well as getting started on a small business or even recommendation on your current business, I cannot recommend Will enough. Will is always getting informed in new laws as Taxes change which is super important nowadays.

I like how I'm able to scan and email (or in my case share a OneDrive folder) of the collected forms and W2s and he can take it from there. Invoicing is clear and straight forward with itemization, a bit more expensive than the HR Block I used to use but a lot more convenient and helpful from my viewpoint. You get what you pay for as the saying goes. Always fun and friendly to talk to and he helps to lay things out clearly and offers some great advice.

From a cost perspective, KPR is reasonable for a seasoned professional in the upper level with a service touch. On the service side, Annabelle has been amazing in providing that extra care and attention to details to remind us of milestones.

The realtor was giving me grief about his fees during closing and this was my first big financial transaction. I was basically on the verge of tears when I called Alfred and he never flinched- we immediately got on a conference call with the realtor and Alfred didn't take any if's, and's, or but's. I don't think the realtor knew what hit him. We have absolutely trusted Alfred with anything and everything since that day and he's never disappointed. We trust him completely. He is absolutely 110% "invested" in our client-advisor relationship. He's really been a voice of calm and reason whenever we're tempted to make "emotional" financial decisions. It's hard talking money with a spouse, but Alfred knows how to talk to both of us and get us on the same page. It feels like a team and we feel lucky to have him on it! We'd highly recommend Alfred and Dragon to anyone ready to make some financial plans or has a pending financial decision, who wants someone with experience and who cares.
