Bobby and his team are outstanding - there's no one else in the Bay Area I'd recommend. Within minutes of talking to Bobby, it's clear that he is an expert in his field and then some. He's constantly up to date on the latest and greatest trends in the financial world, has a keen awareness of the market, and provides sound and educated advice for clients in a variety of financial situations. My husband and I got the white glove treatment from Bobby, who comes extremely prepared and organized. He's professional and prompt, while still being able to form personal connections with his customers. When we were in a jam and needed help with estimated payments, Bobby took us on, had our situation planned out in one 30-minute meeting, and managed to get us a refund beyond our expectations. If doing your taxes is as scary as a horror movie and you're looking for an expert to give you a quick and painless experience, you have to go to Bobby! read more

I've been working with Bobby and Cheri since 2017 - they are wonderful. They have saved me quite a bit of money and helped navigate some tricky once-in-a-lifetime (for me) situations. My first experience was Bobby calling me back (response time 1 day) in late Dec 2017 to give advice on some RSU sales. On that call, he saved me many times his fee in CA tax with a "hey, one more thing" - advice about Trump's SALT credit cancellation. That's been the theme: when you call Bobby and Cheri, they save you money. Bobby has consistently given great advice, and handled my taxes since I outgrew Turbotax. I am the typical tech worker: income, stock options / RSU, some investments and retirement accounts... they are definitely good at that - and probably other stuff as well. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Straight up rude. I called them see to if I can make an appointment. I have simple 9-5 job so only W2. The person on the phone told me well we have a minimum fee and that would be out of your budget. You may not be comfortable with that. They just assume I won't be able to pay. Didn't even bother mentioning their minimum fee or what they offer that is so out of ordinary and pricey that a person won't be able to pay. This is discrimination just by my voice or accent you have decide that I'm a poor minimum wage W2 worker that who won't be able to pay your fees. There is no excuse for this behavior. read more

So far so good. Bobby was proactive and on the ball Responsive - it's a pleasure working with him. Will update review after 2018 taxes are submitted read more

It is almost a miracle that I found B & R Accounting with extended deadline coming up. They were easy to deal with. I love their ability to upload documents. I have cryptocurrency trades and they advised me of ways to ease getting IRS forms filled. I was impressed that they were able to understand my last year's return; understand to carry overs and prepare a return that was patterned as if my retired CPA was involved. So I went from trying use TurboTax to having a professionally completed return in less than two weeks. Thank you, B & R Accounting! read more

A little pricey but precise. They are well prepared and knowledgable. Helpful with every step of the way. read more

Their website says they do book keeping and reconcile accounts for small businesses... but when I called I was told they don't provide that. Why would you have that up as one of the service you provide if you don't actually do it? And I was told for personal tax return it would be minimum $950... really? For a simple W2 tax return you're going to charge almost a thousand dollars? Right now it takes our accounts maybe an hour to complete our return... so you want to charge $1000 an hour?? NOPE. Don't recommend this place unless you have extra money to spend. read more

I'm really disappointed in the customer service. I called and asked how much the consultation was. The front desk lady confirmed they are accepting new clients and said $300 was the consultation fee. I told her that was really pricey, is there a way to make sure the CPA is experienced in my specific tax situation first before paying all of that money? She asked what my situation was, and said she'd ask and follow up. She called back and said, "We aren't taking new clients". Thanks a lot. Would not recommend this place. read more

$750 - $800 for a W2 tax return!? I left my info over the phone with a secretary and was told Bobby would call me later. Instead a lady calls and says "I was told to tell you it costs $750". I said what cost $750? A w2 tax return? "Oh yeah they just said our minimum is $750 for anything that's all I know" Lol save your time this place is a joke read more

This review is way over due. Bobby has been doing my taxes since 2012. He is extremely knowledgeable and informative on the top of all the new laws, rules and regulations. I hear people complain about their CPA or Accountant and the stress of dealing with them specially during the Tax season, but my experience has been very different from them. He always available when I have any question. I have my own business and I am so happy that I have a reliable Accontant. read more

B & R Accounting - I just did my 2016 tax. - Accountants Near Me - San Jose, California

Bobby Rahim is honestly the best accountant I have ever come across. As the owner of a TechCrunch covered, Silicon Valley company, I would trust Bobby with anything. His impact on my own taxes, my strategy when it comes to my approach to startup and personal impacts and overall accounting expertise is second to none. As a less than ideal customer at times, I am flabbergasted by the humility, dedication and impact Bobby has provided to me. Thank you for your service, support and generosity to ensure my taxes are at the top of the game. Lastly, as I almost had to "jump over the table" at an H&R Block tax preparer upon my initial transition; if you are in the big leagues, rest assured that you'll have more value here than a general tax preparation and if you are in the bigger leagues, you will get the value of a Silicon Valley rockstar. Thanks again for your precision and expertise Bobby! read more

I called and asked about getting my personal taxes done. I don't have great deal of complex assets. I rent, and have a basic 401K. Yet their quote to me to do my taxes was $700 to $800... WAY higher than any other place I have checked.... BOOOOO thumbs down.... read more

I was interested in having my individual income tax returns prepared by a professional tax service. Among those I contacted was B&R Accounting. My tax returns are fairly simple and straightforward, and I provided details (regarding my income, deductions, home ownership, etc.) to the woman who answered the phone so I could obtain an informed estimate of the fee B&R would charge. She said the AVERAGE fee to prepare an individual tax return is between $850 and $1,000. Not the high-end fee, but the average. Anything not customary would cost more. I contacted five other tax preparation firms and explained what I needed, described in the same manner as I did with B&R. Their fees for the same services ranged between $200 and $450. All five have Enrolled Agents on staff (which is reassuring), and two of the five companies serve a somewhat higher-end clientele. I'm aware that cost shouldn't be the only basis upon which a decision ought to be made to hire a tax professional. However, it certainly is one of them. And it truly is perplexing how B&R could justify fees that are anywhere from two to five times that of its competitors. I'll give the benefit of the doubt to B&R and the person who answered the phone. She certainly was courteous and might have simply misunderstood me and/or was new to the firm. Perhaps what I experienced was just an unfortunate one-time aberration. So I'll award two stars, instead of one, for this firm. Still, I think the discrepancy in fees is absolutely shocking. read more

I hired Bobby when I initially set up my corporation in California. I have absolutely no business education, and this was the best money I spent on the business! He advised me with how best to set up my corporate tax structure, how to pay myself, how to pay employees, what financial forms I needed at the end of the year (just 2), and advised me about business expenses. At the end of the year, I hired Bobby's team to do my taxes and I could not believe how quickly, efficiently, and accurately they were done. He sat down with me in person and went through my finances (those 2 forms) and advised on how/what to do for future tax filings based on my first year in 1 efficient hour. After he filed my taxes, I got a huge refund! I attribute that to the way he had my set up my business so there were no terrible surprises at tax time. I would absolutely recommend B&R accounting to anyone, business owner or individual. They know what they're doing and they do it well! read more

I strongly feel they delayed my taxes and wasn't able to answer my questions after he suggested that I move to QuickBooks. Why ask me to change my accounting method and not support the transition? My excel spreadsheet worked for years, and now I'm on an extension and accruing interest and penalties. read more

Bobby and his team are professional and efficient, and their price is reasonable. I would pay for Bobby's consultation even outside of tax season. Great experience and highly recommend! read more

I have been using this company for my taxes for the past 3 years. They had always done a great job. I can't wait to stick with them for the next decade or two!!! read more

Bobby and his team have been amazing to work with. They do our company accounting and taxes (c-Corp) and also my consulting business s-Corp payroll, accounting and taxes. We have not been an easy customer, asking them to learn new CRM software and clean up a lot of self-created messiness. They have been super flexible and helped me organise the businesses. I am grateful to have their support. read more

I'm so impressed! I learned more in a six-minute conversation with B&R over the phone than I did in hours on Google. Unlike other CPAs I'd called for help, B&R actually listened to my questions without interrupting, then gave me straightforward answers that completely resolved our issue -- all without "mansplaining" or acting like I was wasting their time. They felt trustworthy, kind, and highly knowledgeable. Although it turned out I didn't need their professional services this time, I would gladly go to B&R first in the future if I needed an accountant or tax advise. They were great! read more

Bobby has been a great help with all of my business and personal accounting needs. He and the rest of the staff are extremely reliable, I can't see myself working with anyone else at this point. Very organized, helpful, and kind people! read more

My husband and I just opened our general contractor corporation and the first year was so stressful. I did all the accounting myself and was digesting so much information all at once. Bobby and his team helped me through the process greatly and made it as smooth as possible. There was so many loose ends that had to be accomplished so close to the tax deadline last year. He is so patient and made sure to explain everything until we understood it. He saved our company so much money. He taught me so many strategies and how to maximize my income. I am so grateful for his honesty and knowledge. So happy we found you. We interviewed several CPA's and by far he is the most compassionate. He really cares about your well being. I also appreciate that he checks in with us in the middle of the year and gives us friendly reminders so we are not overwhelmed before tax season. He always answers our questions quickly throughout the year whether it's email, text or phone. We live in rural area far from San Jose but he has made it very easy with phone appointments and emails to get our goals accomplished easily. Bobby knows so much about running small or large businesses. This is so refreshing! There isn't one question he didn't know the answer too! Prior to him the other two CPA I was going to use was terrible at responding or giving me a correct answer. Thank you Bobby for helping us with our business! read more

These guys are great. Went in there for the initial consultation and they gave me some great ideas on tax savings that I had never thought of before. Their advice will lead to at least a 10x recoup of the money I spent on their services. Well worth it. read more

He is a professional in his job I go there do my taxes until today I did not have any problems. The staff that working in his office there so nice . I recommend everyone to go there and do their taxes. read more

I highly recommend B&R accounting. They have gone above and beyond with any according bring needs i have had personal and with my business. Truly care about their customers. I could not be happier! read more

I never really needed to use a CPA but since I now have a business, I thought that the best way to go was with a CPA. I used Yelp to find one that I would be comfortable with and found this place. Although, this was the highest priced quote from the five CPA's that I looked at, I felt that this was the place for me and I am glad that I did. These people are very professional and they got right to work with all the paperwork that I had for them. I am considering not only having my taxes done her but also having quarterly reviews of my P&L so that I can be better prepared for next years taxes. read more

We had used quite a few CPA's over the past 20 years until we got a referral that B&R Accounting would handle all of our personal and business needs quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively. Since using Bobby for the past year all of our tax preparation needs have been accomplished so easily that we were amazed! Bobby helped us greatly in incorporating our business and changing over from a sole proprietorship with all the paperwork and filings along with guidance in making it an extremely easy and smooth transition. I couldn't recommend Bobby and B&R Accounting more highly! If I could give them 10 stars I would! read more

Bobby is one of the most knowledgeable enrolled agents with whom I've had the privilege of working. Both on my tax issues and those of my clients that I refer to him (I'm an attorney) Bobby takes exceptional care of us, making sure that we take advantage of every legal means of reducing our tax exposure and liability. I recommend Bobby wholeheartedly. read more

I have been working with Bobby for many years. His integrity, professionalism and dedication is what differentiated him from others. I have referred to him to friends and family. Recently he helped me out in managing my property refinance. He was able to bring my interest rate down by 1.25%. Wish him success. read more

This review is long over due. B&R accounting has been handling my finances for the past 9 years now. I trust my taxes with no one other than Bobby. What I love about B&R is that they make taxes easy. I have a lot going on and B&R just makes it look like a walk in the park. One year my husband recommended we "try" one of the big corporations and we sat with them for 1 hour and I finally walked out. With B&R I just send him all my documents and the only time I have to spend any time talking to them is a 5-10 minute phone call explaining the outcome. And since he has my bank account on file I don't have to lift a finger. In addition to taxes any other financial need I've had B&R has handled for me. Both of my home loans were done through B&R and they have pulled off the impossible before. In 9 years I have not had one negative experience with them. They are extremely professional and always come through for me getting me the best deal while making it extremely easy. I am very happy with them and recommend them. 5 Stars!! read more

Best accountant and tax preparer in town! I was late to file my 2009 and 2010 tax return but they helped me to file both years very fast and their price was reasonable. I also hired them to do my payroll and 1099s for my company. When you call you actually get to the tax preoarer right away and he answered all my questions over the phone. again thier price is very reasonable not to cheap not too expensive Try them yourself read more

I have not had great luck with accountants until I started working with Bobby Rahim at B&R Accounting.This company helped me with complex and simple items. Bobby is a true professional and very knowledgeable tax accountant. He was extremely patient and took the time to explain every bit of detail that I needed to know for my tax situation. I am extremely satisfied with the service and with the end result (the huge refund). I highly recommend this firm and will definitely continue using their service. read more

We have been with Bobby for 3 years now ., very professional ,responsive and knowledgeable. could not be happier. Thanks to Bobby and staff. read more

My time with Bobby was well-spent. He answered all my questions thoroughly and I left our meeting feeling prepared and ready to handle the upcoming tax season. Bobby also got back to my inquiry right away, which I appreciated. He has a pleasant demeanor and friendly personality which always helps! I'll definitely work with him again in the future. read more

Bobby was the first enrolled agent who provided indemnity, not just a piece of paper. They verify that their client has a clear understanding of what their folder is consist of and what their IRS filings covers. I was offered with options to meet and submit my paperwork online, face to face, or on the phone and email. My meeting with Bobby was easy and comprehensive. I didn't feel rushed at all. read more

The only reason I'm giving this place a 4 stars because of Bob. The owner is really nice he call me after hours to clear thing. He apologized for the confusion, and he say that I should be notices with the price before proceeding my tax. Overall Bob solve my problem in a timely manner and I really appreciate that. He also honors the price too, instead of paying $375 I only pay $100. Overalls, this place get your tax done quick and pretty fast; it just a little pricey for me. read more

We used B&R for my mother's estate taxes and they were amazing. They were responsive, fast, and moved us through the process quickly. We even used them for our personal taxes and were really happy. Professional and easy to deal with. I couldn't ask for more. read more

I found Bobby through Yelp reviews about three years ago and he has been doing my taxes since then. When I first hired him I had just launched my business and was a little worried about certain decisions I had to make as well as the documentation needed. He helped me get set up the first year and things have been going well. Bobby is very responsive and take the time needed to answer my questions. I tend to ask a lot and have the need to really understand things in depth. I appreciate his patience and thoroughness. I have since then refered him to some friends in need of and accountant and everybody has been pleased with the service received. read more

I've been using B & R Accounting since 2015 for my personal and business taxes. The entire team here is very knowledgeable, professional and efficient. They are always quick to answer any questions I have. Very happy with their services- Highly recommend! read more
