Such an ordeal to even get any response on the status. Call the office, female answers, asks for your name, comes back on the phone to tell me he is with a customer- happened numerous times, and explains for me to email him and he will respond. Well, that didn't happen either. His communication is nonexistent. No emails, no phone calls. We finally removed ourselves from his convoluted situation. And guess what, he immediately responded within 5 minutes on email; he was probably so relieved. Unprofessional. Inefficient.

We actually got lucky to see her as at the time she wasn't taking new clients but took us because of a referral that was made from a long time client of hers. She electronically files federal and state taxes for you and provides you with advice to optimize your future earnings. She's timely, efficient and very thorough! There is a base rate for her to file your state and federal taxes and each additional form than she files is an additional fee. It's the peace of mind know that our taxes are filed correctly that is priceless! Knock on wood we've never been audited.

It's that annual tax time again! Need to prepare our annual tax returns to Uncle Sam and the State…read moregovernment. Where can I go to have this done? Tamilyn Masuda CPA. Over the past 35 years, we've solicited the help of a number of tax preparers, all by referrals. We've learned about the differing styles of the various CPAs, as some are conservative, interpret tax laws in black and white, or are liberal in their interpretations. As we were looking for a CPA that was liberal in their tax law interpretation and yet within the requirements of the law, our Estate Attorney recommended Tamilyn Masuda CPA to us in 2012, as he was using her and was satisfied with her services. Since 2012, Tamilyn has been our CPA for our tax needs, and we are very satisfied with her. In fact, we consult with her throughout the year, and not only during tax time, as we've consulted with her on the tax effects of purchasing/selling investment property, creating a LLC, looking at retirement account options, estate planning, and tax liability reduction. Tamilyn is very accommodating, as we could call her with questions anytime during the year at no charge. She is friendly, personable, and easy to talk to. We haven't had any problems with our tax returns. I do categorize my receipts and create x-cell worksheets to make it easier for Tamilyn to put things in order. It's also a self-check for me if there is a payment transaction issue that needs to be followed up on. A face-to-face appointment is then made with Tamilyn to go over the worksheets and any issues that we have. We've always have had timely responses in completing our returns, and Tamilyn will call if she needs further clarification or receipts. We request a draft of our return so that we can review the entries and get any clarifications, if needed. Once we give approval, the tax return is finalized by having us sign the documents. With the current Covid-19, however, social distancing required some changes. We were fortunate to have had a face-to-face appointment as we had scheduled it before the procedural changes. Now, all receipts and documents are to be mailed in or dropped into a box just outside the office's front door by calling staff prior to dropping off. They will retrieve them, and Tamilyn will start reviewing them in preparing the tax return. Upon completion, a phone call would be made for you to pick up your return, and sign any documents in the box outside the front door. Local-born Tamilyn has more than 30 years of accounting experience, including 7 years as an IRS Auditor for small businesses. With this knowledge and experience, she started her business, Tamilyn Masuda CPA, as she has the IRS insight not only to assist small businesses, but also to individuals, corporations, partnerships, LLCs, estates, and non-profit organizations. She provides services in bookkeeping, payroll, tax planning and preparation, audit representation, estate planning, and divorce/support issues. She is assisted by her adult daughter, Shauna, who is well equipped with accounting knowledge and experience, and additional staff during the busy times. Tamilyn's office is on the 2nd floor above the Original Pancake House in the Waiakamilo Shopping Center in Kalihi. There is a secured entry, as you will need to call her office on the intercom on the 1st floor at the foot of the stairs. She will buzz you in once you give your name and the reason why you're there. Office hours are Mon. to Fri. from 8a-4p, with extended hours during tax time. Yes, we have finally found a CPA that fits our needs and has the same views of the tax laws and our liabilities to Uncle Sam as we do. Perhaps Tamilyn Masuda CPA can be of the same fit to you too?

I felt ashamed at first and honestly didn't know what to expect. From the very first meeting until now, every single person I've spoken with at Blake Goodman, PC has been welcoming, compassionate, and understanding during one of the hardest times in my life. Their entire team brought light into such a dark situation for me. These guys truly know what they're doing. They handle EVERYTHING. What impressed me the most is that they don't just help you file -- they genuinely want you to thrive and become better financially moving forward. They even provide a course that teaches you how to better manage your finances and rebuild. They take over the stressful collector calls, explain every single step of the process, walk you through what each document means, and prepare you for what to expect during judgment. They make something that feels terrifying feel manageable. I've been dealing with physical illness, severe depression, and anxiety to the point where I barely even text people back anymore. I recently went through a painful breakup after being cheated on, and honestly, I haven't truly smiled or laughed in almost a year. Before my appointment today, I was in a very dark place emotionally. Then I met Vai and Nicole. They were so organized, informative, professional, and most importantly -- compassionate. They treated me like a human being instead of just another client. I genuinely had to fight back tears because it's been so long since I felt cared for or even laughed. For the first time in a long time, I left feeling lighter. Vai and Nicole truly made an impact on my life today, and I will forever be grateful for them and this entire team. They made this whole transition feel so smooth that I literally joked, "Y'all gotta charge us more!" lol. Thank you again for everything.
