Tax Supervisor Jheanell Smith is a superstar! Many superlatives apply: highly experienced, thoughtful [including re Tax Strategy], polite, timely replies, sensitive [when appropriate]. Add her to soon to be [?] Enrolled Agent Steven D. [i] Cooper [aka "Coach Coop"] and the IRS likely won't "return for seconds" during an audit "documents buffet". Hallelujah!

Cooper and his team were amazing. They answered all of our questions and handled our IRS problems with care. I cannot say thank you enough for straightening out the mess we got ourselves into. They are very resourceful and very informative and know what they are doing. I I am definitely going back for them to prepare our taxes again. I highly recommend them. The price is right for everything that they do for you. They got it all figured out at the end of the day you could not ask for more. read more

The entire staff is extremely knowledgeable professional and very helpful they answered all my questions and some I didn't even know to ask. They explained all the services they provided and gave me the services that met my specific needs. read more

Very professional high quality service and saved me a lot of money in taxes would definitely refer them to everyone I know customer for life

I highly recommend anyone, especially small businesses to seek CAS as their trusted tax accountant. CAS are responsible for doing my personal taxes, small business and nonprofit taxes. The team at CAS are professional , knowledgeable and most of all patient with me. No tax problem is too big for CAS to handle!!! Most importantly they truly care about their clients. MGC read more

Coopers accounting was super helpful for me will definitely be recommending them for anyone needing their services

I recommend coach coop to all my friends and family. The economy and tax laws keep hard working people down. Its worth the price to have them on your side. read more

Cooper's Accounting Service is great! They helped me with the mess my previous accountant did. A serious IRS tax problem! He amended my tax returns and saved us a lot of money! Any letters I get from the IRS they take care of! Stress free knowing I can count on them to take care of it! read more

The helped with my tax and answered all my questions. When I any problem with IRS, they helped as well phone calls, and letters.

Patient diligent and highly experienced . Always ahead of it for me. Appreciate his hard work

They have horrible customer service. Over 45 minutes to ask for a live person . For a question that took only 50 seconds.

I have been patronizing Cooper's Accounting Service since I was a senior in high school. Now as a woman on the brink of 30 I still from across the county (I am in Pittsburgh now) yearly have my taxes prepared with Cooper's accounting. The founder Mr. Cooper did my mother and my grandmother's taxes and has always done the highest quality of work. The tax prepares at CAS are dedicated to their customers and have never failed to be transparent in the process. This quality of service is what has drawn me to using CAS the last 10 plus years and is what will continue my loyalty to them. In my early days of visiting Mr. Cooper, I remember he to me he had clients that made tens of thousands a month and clients that barely made anything, but he was dedicated to treating everyone equally and ensuring the best outcome for each individual. He probably doesn't remember that, but I do, and it is what I kept me with CAS. read more

Be very cautious letting Cooper do your accounting. I went to him for my business and personal for three years and I now have over $1000 in fines because he did not do it correctly and did not fix his mistakes after I sent him the letters from the IRS and gave him over five opportunities to fix the issues. They are totally careless when it comes to you and your business *** DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID AND TRUST THEM TO DO THE RIGHT THING*** read more

Coop did my taxes for about 4 years starting 2015 I am still dealing with the issues. I had issues every year I file taxes not to mention I paid him to start an S, Corp. and that had issues as well. I don't recommend anyone to come here. I also feel like I was treated different when he found out I was conservative and prior service. read more

Save your time, energy, and money! I did my 2021 business tax return and personal tax return and now I have the IRS sending me documents stating there has been filing errors. I've tried calling, left messages, send emails, spoken to front desk and Maria and no one could help me. Maria said she would text Maricela( who did my taxes under the presence of Cooper himself) and add me to the conversation and she didn't keep her word. A text takes less than two minutes to compose and send. Customer service is key to any business and it's clear that at Coopera Accounting Services you will not get any. I'll keep y'all posted on how this goes and if this situation gets mediated amicably and reasonably! read more

I will be dealing with problems for years after filing here last year. Coop convinced me to switch from a 1099 into an "s Corp". He explained that as an s Corp I do not need to pay self employment taxes and will have more write offs. He also convinced me to retroactively refile for 3 years since my last accountant allegedly messed up my 1099. I paid him 6k and was supposed to get 12k back. I got 12k back but when I looked at my paperwork later (which wasn't what he showed me before filing) I saw I got that money back because he just added random write offs in there that I do not have receipts for at all. I also got that money back because now I don't pay into social security, which he did not tell me would happen. When I asked him about it he just told me I shouldn't trust the gov with my money and I should invest it myself. So yeah I basically paid 6k to take out my social security and refile fraudulent taxes. A few months later I got a penalty notice for 5k and after emailing and calling him for about 2 weeks with no response I called the IRS myself because the penalty due date was one day away. They said none of my paperwork checks out. He actually never even made me an s Corp, I was a general partnership and I'm still getting credit card offers with his name and my business on it! The IRS waived the fee and just told me to fix it immediately and when I reached out again asking him what happened I got childish defensive responses telling me I should have never called the IRS because now I've made a mess of his work. I went to a new tax person this year and she said it's so bad I should sue. I just had to get off the phone with the IRS again because my 2019 taxes (not done by coop) aren't being accepted and it turns out it's because He never sent in the form he had me sign to "fix things" that switched me to an s cop. I'm past the deadline to do that now since my taxes have taken so long to sort out this year so yeah, I'm upset. I'll be anxiously awaiting an audit for a long time to come and I've set aside that stupid 6k I got back because I know I'll be in trouble later I really don't want a response to this Coop, because I know you will take zero accountability for this. I'm just writing this because I went to you hoping these few bad reviews weren't true and I trusted my friends referral. read more

I came to Cooper in 2019 for help with my taxes. He convinced me to pay him $800 to establish a business. As I was going to open a business checking account, I discovered that he, had not ever opened my business. This meant that the business and personal taxes I paid and trusted him to do correctly, were fraudulent. It's 2022 and I can reestablish my business, but can only go back 2 years. This means that I will have to file personal taxes as an independent contractor and will mean I owe tens of thousands to the irs. Now he is gas lighting me and stating that k told him just to open the business because I couldn't afford it. Thing is, I have a receipt which clearly says I paid $800 to have the business established. Cooper has decided to refund some of my money. He sent an urgent overnight package with a check for $2600.00. I took that check directly to the bank and they wouldn't cash it because there wasn't enough funds in the account. I called his office and his secretary told me they just needed to verify the check and argued with me for 5 minutes. She finally put Cooper on the phone and he told me that the funds are not yet available. This guy is pathetic. He's a crook and a terrible business man. What kind of accountant writes a bad check for his accounting business? What kind of accountant doesn't have $2,600 in the bank. At this point, I can't tell if it's fraud or incompetence, but he will lose his license over this. read more

Coopers accounting is the best this will be my third year they done nothing but got my stuff together he'll yeah

I base this review only of the quote I received from this business over the phone. The quote I was given was TRIPLE what other business quoted me on Yelp. I'm not sure how that price is justified. Was looking forward to giving them a try , but at triple the prices I'm not sure that will happen. Fyi - my quote for tax prep for two w2s , one rental property and owners of one home was 600.00 4 other businesses quoted me a Max of 225 . What gives? Are the services rely so amazing that they can charge triple the amount that others would? 3/13/18 I had a chance to speak with Mr. Cooper over the phone. He explained the strategy behind his business philosophy as well as the break down of his prices. While I am not sure that ultimately I will do business with him, I appreciated the fact that we were able to take the time to discuss my review and his approach over the phone in a mature manner. Wishing him great business and thanks for the time on the call read more

These people made me cry!!! For joy that is..... I had found someone local to me when I lived in LA to do my taxes. This was a bad decision. I owed soooo much to the IRS and I couldn't understand how. I had been putting off doing my 2016 taxes because I was sure I would owe even more. I owed $50,000+. Fast forward to the middle part of 2017. I moved out of the LA area and I decided to find someone closer to do my taxes. I decided to use Yelp to help me find one and after I read all of the good reviews of this business, I decided to go with them. I was asked to bring in all of my previous tax information, and after reviewing them I was told that they were done completely wrong. I had to amend my taxes from previous years and even had to amend my S-Corp because it was done incorrectly. I now owe $0 in taxes to the IRS!!! I seriously cried when I found out! This saved me! My old tax person was taxing me double on my income, which is why I owed so much. After seeing my results, my business partners also get their accounting and tax services done here. I even got a freaking refund!!! I went from owing $50,000+ to getting a refund! I am still in shock! I am very pleased with how much this office has helped me. I figured I was screwed for life after owing so much to the IRS. They have really changed my life! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. Everyone at the office is super friendly and helpful, even if Coop has his bad jokes! haha If you are looking for a place to get your taxes or accounting done, rest assured that you have found the right place! I am so happy to have found them! Thank again you guys! Thank you for doing such a great job! read more

I underwent through a very rough experience before I've met Mr. Steven Cooper, endorsed by a bank officer by personal experience having taxes done. A very humble person with extensive knowledge and excellent stuff surrounding his business and delivering an excellent customer service and undivided attention to my business company and personal taxes. The gratitude I have for him is very high because through the past eight years he was very detail and focus to all my personal and business administration needs in the field of accounting and taxes. I personally endorse Cooper Accounting Services to anyone that has a vision to prosper business ways, in a personal way to resolve accounting and tax issues. A very friendly and kind person to approach, a gentleman. Thank you and enjoy his knowledge to your benefit!! read more

I can't begin to say enough good things about Coop and his team here in Long Beach. For so many years, I have been doing my taxes with one of those online programs. What I wasn't getting though was the strategy and advice that comes with a talented CPA firm. We began work last year to structure my business in the most advantageous manner to take advantage of current and upcoming tax law. I was blessed with a phenomenal year, and paid an enormous amount in taxes, but would it be enough? As 2017 was drawing to a close, my initial tax liability was nearing the 6 figure mark, according to that Speedy tax program I was using. Then Coop's team went to work, and they saved me tens of thousands of dollars! Tax code is complicated, and having someone on your side is empowering. Go meet Coop, and see how he can help you! read more

Steven and his team of accountants have been doing our business and personal taxes for the past 3 years. Each year has been extremely remarkable in our savings to IRS and state. As our business grows we're confident that Steven will continue to help us in understanding our choices to make the best tax decisions for the future. They understand our financial goals and best of all he and his team are always available to answer any questions we have in the realm of taxes. An A+ organization. read more

Used Cooper's Accounting Service for first time this year. Main reason for my visit was doing my taxes, but in addition I had a few questions that needed answered regarding registering new business. Cooper himself found time and answer my questions in person free of charge. Everyone in his office is friendly and knowledgeable and the overall experience is just great. I like the personal approach and will definitely use their services in future. read more

Cooper's Accounting Services did a great job preparing my personal taxes this year. I booked an appointment and within the same week they were about to see me. Cooper is definitely very knowledgeable and informative with tax tips and also has a good personality filled with funny jokes. Linda helped prepare my taxes this year and I couldn't be more please with her help and professionalism. I would highly recommend making an appointment to do your taxes here this year if you are looking for a new CPA like I was. read more

My husband and I have been using Coop for years now, and he always ends up saving us money on our taxes. My husband has a small business and Coop educated him on the new laws and deductions we are able to list. His staff gives the best customer service and it's always a pleasure visiting We highly recommend Cooper's Account Services!! Coop gives great business advise too!! read more

i went to a doctor appointment nearby, so i searched for nearby business to do mu taxes. this was the only place i called based on the reviews. when i arrived (30 minutes late), i was immediately greeted by coop! the man, the myth, the legend! he asked me a few question then guided me to val (the accountant who quickly filed my taxes). val was precise, warm, and laughed at my jokes. she answered all my questions but what i liked most is how quickly she got me in and out. i got a refund this year! woohoo. thank you coop and the wolf pack! you guys have to come here! it is more affordable than h&r block and mom and pop tax services for average joes with w-2s. read more

Cooper's Accounting Service - SHELLY'S REFERRAL - Tax Services Near Me - Long Beach, California

My business partner and I first meet with "Coop" when we first started our online store in 2014. We both were completely unaware of business tax structure and needed his help setting up our corporate entity. He took advantage of this by putting our company UNDER HIS NAME as an owner. If you look up "Everfitte Steven Cooper" on Google, you will see our former company with him as an owner. If we would have understood what was going on, we would have run away! As time passed, we became more and more uneasy with how things were going so we left Cooper's Accounting Services and went to a highly reputable accountant in Laguna Niguel. She told us recently that she almost didn't accept us as clients due to the convoluted mess that had been created by his company. She was incredulous that he had put himself as a co-owner of the LP and, upon investigation of the two years we used him as an acct, said many things were done in an unethical manner. read more

Please see Rachel's review as this was also my experience... and needed to add that not only are things haunting us three years later, my personal taxes done by him were looked into further by the IRS and I had to come up with thousands due to things being done incorrectly. Save yourself from the run around and headache. You will thank us. read more

Absolute professionals who produce huge results- all while caring about you as a person, your financial well being and being respectful of the scenario that has brought you to them for help. Val did my taxes: amended 2015 return & a 2016 return (both state and federal). I am self employed and was going to get killed, I mean straight murdered if I did these myself. She remedied the matter deftly and politely- saving me a ton of money. I can't thank you all enough. Solid. Go to Val, go to Coop- do yourself this favor. A good accountant is worth their weight in gold. Period. ;) See you soon Val & Coop. Thank you. -Louis read more

Found Coop on Yelp and I was a little nervous coming here as I've had nothing but bad experiences with other accounting people, but I left here feeling such relief! I was so happy that I called my mom afterward to tell her about it because she knew I was dreading it. The whole process was super chill though. He explained everything to me in a way I understood. He is a funny, down to earth guy and it was a nice, relaxed vibe in the office. I'm glad I finally found somewhere I can do my taxes each year. Will definitely be coming back. read more

This is the 2nd straight year that my wife and I have done our taxes with this very fine company in Long Beach. We both had some anxiety about taxes as we had recently purchased a house. Steven Cooper and his very helpful and knowledgeable staff really took us under their wing, made us feel at home and were professional in every way - explaining complex tax laws in a way we could understand. Mr. Cooper also guided me personally through the nuances of what it takes to have a business on the side. We could not be happy enough with the exquisite attention to tax detail, all the time displaying a real down to earth touch simultaneously. Take your tax business here right now, you will not be disappointed! Highly recommended, and did I mention they were really good people too? :) read more

I'm pleased with the services provided but most importantly, the concern and attention given to a challenging situation we encountered. Thanks, Coop and Valerie!! read more

Cooper and assistants are great ! They helped me with the mess my previous accounting did . he amended my tax returns and saved us a lot of money ! any letter I get from IRS they take care of! stress free knowing I can count on them to take care of it ! read more

Solid and attentive team. Happy with how they think and operate. Helpful in resolving a semi-complex initial case in a last minute scenario.

So we used Cooper last year, had no issues except having to refile paper after being rejected through efiling. Still, no real issues. I rated Cooper 5 stars. This year we returned to Cooper. Same thing happened. My husband's tax return got rejected through efile and therefore after a few weeks we had to submit a paper version, possible 6 weeks to recieve a refund. Well 6 weeks passed and we didnt recieve anything so we contacted Coop and was told to come into the office to contact IRS, so we did with a staff member. Turns out whoever prepared our tax the second time around sent in a blank form meaning IRS didnt get anything. Okay, so now a little irriated, we were relying on the money, we had to then go back in to AMEND. Cooper did refund us what he charged us for it, however, because of the Amendment, it takes 3 weeks for the IRS to recieve it and just finding out right now that it could take up to 16 weeks to fully process the Amended Taxes, which means, we originally filed in March.. we wont be seeing any money until maybe September?!?! Really upsetting. My husband took a medical leave thinking this money would be cushion until he returned to work, was hoping to plan family vacations with it, but it doesnt look that way now. So we got essentially screwed due to their mistake so we are really upset. Coop and staff are nice and friendly thus the 2 star, but unfortunately this one error has an impactful consequence on our family finances and we are very unhappy clients. read more

This firm is extremely professional, responsive, knowledgeable and helpful. They are efficient and value your time as much as their own. I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know. read more

My dad, who was an engineer and a foreman for a large oil company for more than 35 years, developed an interest in tax preparation a few years before he retired. He prepared taxes for family and friends, and by the time he officially retired from his "real" job in 1998, he had a loyal client base of almost 300 happy customers. His retirement was actually a full-time transition into a home-based business that provided extra income for him and my mom for almost twenty years. It was natural that I took a casual interest in his "hobby" and eventually I began preparing my own taxes and then mine and my husband's when we got married. I never did anyone else's taxes but ours, even though many of my friends asked. They eventually became my dad's clients. It was nice to have my dad there as backup in case any of us had questions, and I really missed his tax expertise when he passed away in 2009. As my own family grew and our taxes became more complicated, I started to feel more and more anxiety each year about what I was doing. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of time it took me to research and actually do our own taxes using a commercial online program - 27 hours the last year I did them in 2011! That was the year I had a tax meltdown and was fortunate to vent to the right friend who immediately referred us to Coop, as Steven Cooper is affectionately known. The rest is history. Not only did Coop review and refile several years' worth of our own family of six's previously filed personal taxes, but he did the same for the non-profit organization my husband founded 17 years ago which he still runs, and he did the same for my own freelance writing and boutique consulting business. My husband and I deal with the complex tax dynamics of having four children, his job, my two jobs, and running two home-based businesses. Coop identified numerous mistakes we had been making and he helped us correct them. He has advised us on a myriad of business matters both in and out of tax season. Coop's staff is approachable, friendly, knowledgable, and very professional. I've never felt rushed while on the phone or in person, and my emails, messages, and texts are promptly returned. I strongly recommend Cooper's Accounting Service without any reservations to anyone regardless of socio-economic status. He treats all of his clients as if they are Fortune 500 members without charging them so. Everyone I have referred to Coop (including some of my dad's former clients) has stayed with him, with referrals of their own, but the most rewarding referral I have made is my own mother who also became his client the year after we did. Life is easier, less worrisome, and more secure with Steven Cooper and his great team taking care of our tax preparation needs. read more
