Chahal & Associates - Paperwork - Tax Services Near Me - Hercules, California

I reached out to this company because they offer a free 30-minute consultation, which caught my attention. I scheduled a call and got a confirmation, but on the day of the appointment, no one called me. I followed up about an hour later and was told the rep had an emergency, so we rescheduled for two days later. The same thing happened again. It's now been over an hour past the scheduled time and still no call or communication. At this point, it feels like the free consultation doesn't really mean much if they can't even show up or follow through. This is supposed to be the stage where they make a good first impression, and unfortunately that didn't happen. If they can't respect my time before I'm even a client, it's hard to trust that they will after. Overall, pretty disappointing experience.

Chahal & Associates - Tax Services Near Me - Hercules, California

If you're looking for an accountant who will ignore you, miss follow-ups, and disappear when problems arise, this is the place. Every tax season has been a chaotic mess of unanswered emails, broken promises, and zero accountability. When I received notices from the Department of Revenue, they offered no real help--making an already stressful situation worse. Avoid at all costs. read more

Navjeet is, without a doubt, a financial wizard. He doesn't just do taxes; he performs a meticulous, magical dance with my finances, finding deductions and opportunities I never even knew existed. He has a way of explaining the most complex tax jargon in a way that actually makes sense, and for that, my brain thanks him. And Sajal is the superstar senior tax accountant who makes it all happen. His efficiency and incredible attention to detail are on another level. I'm pretty sure he responds to emails faster than I can hit send. He's the reason everything feels seamless and stress-free. There's a calming aura that comes with knowing Sajal is on the case. Together, CHAHAL & ASSOCIATES's entire team have turned what was once an annual anxiety-inducing nightmare into a surprisingly pleasant experience. They're not just accountants; they're financial superheroes. I'm already looking forward to working with them again. read more

Called and set up a 30 min. consultation. Prepared for meeting, and was told the person with whom I had an appointment was still with their client and I will receive a call back. One hour later, I had a call back, after I left a message canceling the initial consult. The business could have handled this better. Several options f or handling the situation: --Never book the initial consult for the timeslot --Have an admin. call after 15 min. and reschedule the consult --Have a message on the voicemail indicating the accountant is with a client and asks callers to call an alternate number to reschedule Failure to properly handle scheduling issues are the best way to lose future customers. read more

This firm is so professional... Very high quality services. Really pulled me out of a jam, made by another CPA!

Chahal & Associates is a wonderful firm that puts the clients first, hence the reason they've grown to become a prominent business. They can handle simple or complex returns and business clients, and will be clear about what they can't handle. I've used them for a number of years and have referred people, and they've all had great feedback. I highly recommend them as they are a prominent CPA firm in the Bay Area. read more

I found Chahal last year, after moving several times to multiple states. I had a mess when it came to my taxes for a few years, and that's putting it nicely. Chahal helped me amend 2 years and got money back. I have recently used them to start an LLC and plan to continue utilizing their services. The staff I've met and spoke to are all friendly and knowledgeable. From what I've observed the staff work as a team and help each other get the best results rather than attempting solo missions. Thank you for your help and services to all who had a part in my business with you. read more

Chahal and Associates provide exceptional service and expertise when needed. During the last 20+ years, our extended family has used Chahal and Associates (predecessors) for a variety of personal and business services. Whereas other accounting firms can provide the basic bookkeeping and tax preparation services, Chahal has responded quickly, knowledgeably, and timely for all financial matters including urgent questions and needs. Furthermore, Chahal and his colleagues know the details of our accounts so that our requests are fulfilled without having to repeatedly remind them about the specifics of our finances. They are very organized, well staffed, and helpful. Equally important is their attitude and presence during in person, email, and telephone communications. They have consistently provided undivided attention, and if unable to immediately answer a financial question, will quickly research the topic, and respond promptly with an informed reply. My overall impression of Chahal and Associates is that he values providing trustworthy, consistent, and outstanding service along with integrity. Again, there are many bookkeeping and accounting services, but in my mind, Chahal and Associates is exceptional! As a reminder, I only post positive reviews for small businesses. Many of the businesses that are in the "needs improvement category" are communicated to privately. I understand how a negative review can adversely affect business. I wish to give an opportunity for improvement/change. Hence, those small businesses with less than positive reviews exist - I don't include them in my Yelp reviews. read more

I had my initial discussion with Navjeet. He was knowledgeable and thorough in his responses. He explained me how his firm can help us with our tax situation. Our tax situation has become a little complicated. I thought it will be helpful to file it through professionals and their reviews are great on Yelp. We decided to file through his firm. We worked with someone who was helpful and responsive. We filed our 2019 tax return and had to pay about the same amount that we were expecting when we were getting estimates with turbotax. Regardless, it had been a good experience so far. After filing our tax return, I got a letter from California state that we owed more money on 2019 tax return. I thought we must have missed something and paid the amount. Three months later, I got a letter from IRS, that we owed additional money on 2019 tax return. I called IRS after getting a second letter the following month. I am still working with IRS to resolve the issue. It has been messy dealing with all of it. I was really hoping to find a firm that can help us with our tax filings permanently. However after all this, I am frustrated. I will have to look for someone else next year. read more

This review has been a long time coming. My husband and I have been using Chahal and Associates for the past few years and they have yet to fail us. This review is based on the skill and customer service of the staff. We have worked with a few different accountants at Chahal over 5 years and they have all been excellent. I appreciate that they work together and ensure that everything has been considered before finishing our taxes. We were nervous this year following the changes to the tax system. The staff at Chahal were sensitive to this and made sure that we understood how the changes had affected our finances- we left feeling much better after a lot of anticipatory anxiety and lack of clarity (yes, the new tax system was not the best for us, but this was not the fault of Chahal and we left more educated). You can't go wrong with Chahal. They are good at what they do and they are very fairly priced. We are so pleased to have found them. read more

Navjeet was incredibly help on the phone consultation and took the time to explain his services.

Because of stellar yelp reviews I decided to hire Chahal and Associates to file for 2017 returns. The customer onbording was very good and I had great first impression. The taxes were paper filed but after filing I discovered a accounting mistake done by the staff member. I called and pointed out the issue to the staff and requested to file the amendment, which they acknowledged. However, I was told that I don't need to refile the tax returns as amendment but just another e-file would suffice since efile is processed much faster and IRS would ignore my paper returns that were posted earlier. However, it was false information. It turns out that in my case IRS accepted the paper returns as the lastest as the most recent and ignored the efiled returns. IRS started sending me letters to fix the returns. I tried to contact Chahal and associates multiple times and sent them IRS letters that I received. My emails were ignored and phone calls not returned. I ended up paying again and hiring another CPA to fix the tax returns and file an amendment to get squared with IRS. Unfortunately my experience with Chahal and associates was not worthy of five stars. read more
