Previously, we had been content with standard deductions (family filing jointly). The salient feature was custom solution offering from Durrani CPA Services that resulted in substantial tax savings for the current year in comparison to the years, prior. Over the past decade or so, we had utilized services of one of the nation's big box tax offices as well as used providers in the Bay Area notably the local office of S. Gupta in Pleasanton, CA. The tax filing documents were shared/uploaded through Durrani CPA Services partner web portal (www.Intuit.com). After review of documents and phone consultations, Hajira Durrani, CPA (Owner/Tax Consultant) offered the option of itemized deductions with a degree of confidence based upon our diverse portfolio comprising regular W-2's, MISC-1099, and other income sources. The computation of itemized deductions was done thoroughly and to our satisfaction based upon extended remote interaction as well as phone conversations. The tax rate deduction along with the resultant gains proved beneficial as we saved sizeable amount of money in the end. Also, the tax-filing fee was matched with what had been paid for the past year. The nominal fee paid for itemized deductions weighed-in as we virtually saved a few thousands on our tax returns for the year 2019. Hajira Durrani rendered professional services throughout with great patience and perseverance over the period that stretched from filing an extension on our behalf to the actual preparation and e-filing of our taxes. From leaving a strong first impression to actively listening and explaining the benefit of taking out itemized deductions, Hajira took our slow responses with respect and was never hesitant to communicate and ask questions. As a satisfied customer, we endorse her and would highly recommend Durrani CPA Services to tax filers in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.

I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

I didn't know what to expect when I started consulting with him and was a bit worried about confronting my financial status in general. Instead of what I expected, which was him helping me to simply tackle head-on what I was concerned with, Joseph has been excellent at helping me identify issues connected to my financial concerns, then over time help me understand what I truly want to be doing. I wind up not only able to achieve my original goal, but several others along the way. He also reaches out periodically - between appointments - to let me know information I might not have come across and his holistic style is very refreshing in Silicon Valley, a style that comes across genuine and without flowery pretense. It's been incredibly empowering to be on this journey with his help and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who needs consulting or advice!

Mike and his team were absolutely incredible from start to finish while installing my full home NVR system. Suntech stands out above the rest with their unparalleled technical expertise and exceptional value for the quality delivered. When choosing a company for something as important as your family's safety, it's crucial to pick one that really understands the technology inside and out and how to optimally utilize it to secure your home. During my consultations with various security companies, I kept going back to Suntech because I just felt like Mike was the sharpest out of them all. He fully understood my situation and grasped the entire NVR ecosystem more fluently than all the others, and he has an excellent memory too! On top of that, I feel that Mike truly cares about his clients- he's not in the business only to make money, but rather to make a truly positive impact in his clients' lives. The actual installation went smoothly and it feels so much better knowing that my whole house is now covered both inside and out at every angle with 24/7 continuous surveillance. Having that peace of mind is priceless and I'm so thankful to Mike and the Suntech team for it!

This staffing agency is terrible but better than Adecco. Why? They are the biggest clowns ever compared to these guys. When you try to follow up, they told you they will keep you posted and you know what? I have been completely lied to. I was told I will know by the end of June and here we are now. No response from these clowns as well. I went to clown college for undergrad and this is how I am repaid. Do you want me to run your staffing agency? I got the qualifications because I went to clown college too and can do a better job than everyone who works here. If you are mentally challenged apply with them at your own risk because in the end you get treated like trash. If my ex girlfriend was a staffing agency this will probably fit the bill. Unacceptable. Is this any way to treat a neurodiverse person on their career break? I think not. Being mean to a mentally challenged person is a crime and seems to me like this staffing agency is committing it. Thanks for ghosting me and making my life a bigger cesspit of failure. I will still apply with you guys but don't count on me being lenient with you because that opportunity is lost now.
