I have real estate and stock and 401K and 1031 exchanges. You don't want to be using an online or do it yourself tax return program if you have a portfolio of diversified investments. On a recent transaction I was able to use them to help me with a 1031 exchange and they helped me find new higher return investments for the exchange money in less than the 45 day deadline for reinvesting funds. There may be cheaper companies out there but more important to me than having the cheapest accountant is a company that can reduce my taxes and keep me out of trouble.

They also sat on her taxes to charge her almost $900 in extension fees. Also charged her $500 to remove a dependent. We can't believe the number of charges, 3 extension fees and other insane charges!! Nick also sent us an email stating that they would charge us a monthly late fee if we didn't pay by the end of this month. Fortunately, I searched Yelp and decided on Dimov Tax Specialists who took care of my complex filing which included multi-state filing and real estate taxes. Dimov shared the costs upfront and they were very responsive. I plan to use them going forward. In addition, their invoice was a little over $1K versus the $3250 invoice we received from Ghirardo. Just to be clear, my fiancé and I needed the same tax services.

I used to be a huge procrastinator which didn't make his job any easier and I'm surprised but pleased that Gabe didn't dump me as a client*.

She doesn't take clients unless it's a referral. I think because it's a lot of work and a large commitment. She charges accordingly but in our case that we have many years of back taxes it's worth the money. Peace of mind is priceless... I appreciate that she can handle stress on another super human level. Her mind is sharp, she has a special talent, I believe she was born with a special brain, and has a gift, to crunch numbers, handle red tape, IRS, deadlines and take clients through the daunting road of taxes. Always in a great disposition. She's fearless too. She has no problem going down the rabbit holes and making calls and inquiries. She is an amazing human and a top notch CPA. And someone we can trust with our entire lives on the table. If you have work to do with an accountant you really need to feel heard and be able to trust that person. It's an intimate process. No judgement. You shouldn't ever feel ashamed. We are all human. And taxes aren't something natural to any normal human being. So to find a wonderful person that can make this process smoother.

She helped get my sole proprietor deductions in line to make an audit less likely. And she managed to work in all my expenditures into my numbers so that I didn't lose a single penny. And her knowledge of COVERED CA is quite strong. Irina is wonderful and I'm relieved & grateful to be her client.
