I can't say enough good things about John Mao at Argus CPA. When our CPA unexpectedly retired and…read moreour corporate return was due on March 15, John came to the rescue.

Not only is he very knowledgeable (and you can tell from others who cannot answer your questions; they just keep on talking.), he is very kind, considerate of what our challenges are. (again; others including our recent tax attorney just reciting the tax laws that do not even apply to our conditions.) He listens, focuses on the issues, and able to answer the tax questions we have. Terrific!

I really hoped that I could give Joel a 5 stars review and return every year for my tax filing. My…read morehusband and I had an initial consultation with Joel to discuss about filing our tax for 2018 (W2 jobs and Property rental). Joel was a warm and welcoming person when we met and we really liked him. I remember leaving his office that day and told my husband, I think we found ourselves a good CPA where we can go back each year and don't have to hop from one place to another when tax season approaches. However, we were promised that we'd hear back within a few days. Nothing. My husband called and was told our file was in a queue. Indeed we understand that it is tax season - the busiest of all for CPAs. But the quality of service is also as important. We did not hear back as promised and after calling their office 5-6 times, my husband got really tired so we decided to go there. When we arrived, Joel came out from his office and saw us (was on the phone), but went back inside. His colleague next door greeted us and went to Joel after he got off the phone. He told his colleague to tell us to leave a message. That was pretty rude. For the price range of $1000-$1500, we deserve better treatment than this. Perhaps Joel overbooked his clients and couldn't handle or $1500 did not worth his while? We'll take our business elsewhere and you should too!

I'm going to make sure my father save his $400 dollars from now on!
