I've been really torn about what rating I should give these people. It was a 5 star experience at the beginning but after I paid it really went downhill fast to a frustrating experience. In the end I got my tax refunds so I'll give them 3 stars which is fair and right in the middle. I've always done my own taxes but 2013 was a bit more complicated than usual with having a rental property for half the year and then selling off the same rental property. This was too much for H & R Block's tax software to handle so I wanted a real CPA to help me out. After some yelp searching I noticed majority of the tax places around are not CPA's or if they are they're old enough to have seen the creation of the IRS. Boroff & Co is staffed with young CPA's all educated at Cal State Long Beach. It was only about 5 minutes away so I figured it was a good choice. I called the number and spoke to Megan who was very friendly. She said Tiffany Boroff would give me a call after she was done with a client to talk over my situation and give me an estimate. Tiffany called me back within 15 minutes and after I explained my tax info she gave me a quote and we set an appointment. I thought the quote was very competitive compared to friends I know that have their taxes done with CPA's and also my past experience hiring one for my dad's estate taxes. Instead of the dark dank musty accounting offices I've been to in the past this one was very modern and airy. Staff were all playing a competitive game of ping pong when I walked in the door. I stood there awkwardly until somebody noticed me and came over so I could fill out some client info. Tiffany called me in for my appointment and we got started. She was great to work with. Great sense of humor, easy to work with, and easy to understand when she explained tax info. We went over all my documents one by one and quickly my taxes were all done and ready to e-file. Since my wife wasn't with me I was given two documents for us to sign and fax back. So far 5 stars all the way! My wife gets home and we sign the documents the same day and fax them over. I call and speak to Megan on the phone who confirms she received the documents and I even get an e-mail from her also confirming the documents were received. Here's where the train of customer service derails quickly. Over a week passes and I'm eagerly waiting for my refunds to be direct deposited. Instead I get an e-mail from an anonymous "Missing Documents Team" telling me they are still waiting on my two documents and that they can't efile without them. Confused I pick up the phone and call. Megan picks up, the same person who confirmed she got the documents. She reconfirms she got the documents and has no clue who this mysterious "missing documents team" is. I ask to talk to Tiffany but I'm informed she's with a client and will call me back which she never does. Another week passes and still no refund. I check online and federal says processing but California says never received. I call Megan again and she checks my files and lets me know my taxes were never efiled. I let her know federal shows they are filed but she insists they are not. Since I'm now really pissed I demand to speak to Tiffany. She confirms that both my taxes were efiled the day I came in and explains the miscommunications are due to team of staff they hire for the busy tax season. A few days later I did get my tax refunds. FYI, California refund status website doesn't work. I have my refund yet it still claims it's not found. I understand the need for extra help but you should really have them trained properly if they're going to interface with clients. My tax situation was pretty simple yet I kept getting conflicting information each time I spoke to somebody. Why would the front desk show my taxes as not filed yet the CPA shows them as filed? Why would I get an e-mail saying my documents were never received and yet when I call they know nothing about the e-mail or why I'd get it? **update** Tiffany contacted me about my experience and seemed genuinely concerned. I explained everything and said she'll talk with her people to make sure communication is better in the future. I'm glad she took the time to contact me to see how things could have gone better and because of this I'd definitely consider using them again. read more

My old CPA retired and sold practice to new one who decided to move office to Corona. Living in HB it was too far. I looked for a local CPA and came upon this agency. Talked to Martha on phone and she sat me up with Garrett Nyberg, a CPA. We met with, he asked pertinent questions, looked at our W-2, 1099 and other paperwork. As we were talking and showing paperwork, he was typing on his computer. Then he took our paperwork, excused himself and came back in few minutes. He had our tax returns ready to be e-filed, told us what refund amount was, and what his fees are. All done in an hour so. Our prior CPA changed us three times as much and we had to wait 3-4 weeks to get tax returns back. Nyberg had scanned all our paperwork and now we can look on tax returns, W2 etc on secured website. He is of new generation and thus savvy with paperless office. Within five days we had our refund direct deposit to bank account. As a professional with significant assets I wanted a CPA and someone local and young so he won't retire soon. I found that in Garrett of Boroff & Co. I would highly recommend him. He gave us ample time to ask questions. read more

We recently had a problem with the IRS, and although it was not a problem due to Boroff and Co's service whatsoever, Tiffany went way above and beyond and was able to pinpoint and resolve the issue with the IRS.
