I was a case of being extremally financially successful at a very young age and with that came many learning curves. 15 years ago, I was searching for a CPA to assist me with getting my taxes on track after business success and physical illness. I did not know where to start, so I searched for someone that would be in my neighborhood. My search led to Kealoha and a lengthy discussion and dissection of my finances and tax situation. She gave me hope and I felt the up most trust with her, daughter Isabel and team. Unfortunately, my tax status hindered me with so many life opportunities due to the IRS's relentlessness but with Kealoha working with me continuously I did not feel doomed. Long story short, the extensive knowledge, seasoned experience, and true advocation of Isabel and Kealoha on my complex tax scenario was resolved. Every year I continue to use the team for my tax prep, and every year I am grateful for Kealoha and Isabel who really helped put that piece of my life back together. I speak to any small business owner, hard worker or corporate company that this firm has the tools, experience and professionalism to exceed your expectations. read more

The person picking up the phone is not a gatekeeper, she's a brick wall. I know it is late to be trying to get help with 2025 tax return, so I asked to have an extension filed so I could have until October. I always over pay my taxes so there is no issue with owing the IRS. Obviously, I was fine with paying a retainer, but the brick wall person on the phone refused to connect me to a voicemail so I could simply leave a message. The person on the phone said I would not be able to get an extension filed with any of their staff and would not be allowed to leave a message for a tax professional. Apparently, the brick wall picking up the phone does not want the firm to have any more business for the rest of the tax season. Oh well, glad you all are doing so well that you turn away a client who will give you money now and in the fall when business is slow. read more

Though it has been years since I have been self employed and had complicated enough taxes to need help -- I would still heartily, highly and without reservation recommend KeAlohoa Couch. KeAloha is a nice person. She's lovely, kind and polite. As a tax professional - she's very professional. She's thorough, organized, detail oriented and incredibly easy to work with. You are in very good hands with KeAloha - pick up the phone and give her a call! read more

As you can see, my current motto is "Can't I pay someone to do that?" which applies to just about everything, but becomes especially crucial during tax season. I wanted to find a tax genie who could magically make all my tax fears disappear. Or, more specifically, transform my pile of paperwork into a pile of cash. Oh, and they should also be very intelligent and experienced. That's not too much to ask, right? After some Yelp research, I decided that KeAloha couch had the most genie potential. I set up an appointment just 2 weeks before the big, scary tax deadline and they got me in no problem. I was impressed by all the communication leading up to, and following my appointment. First they emailed me some paperwork I needed to fill out before my meeting (which, in hindsight, I should have filled out more thoroughly). I am accustomed to sitting down with someone and working line-by-line on my taxes, H&R block style, but the Couch folks do all the dirty work for you, behind the scenes. You just need to drop off that tax packet they send you, have a quick 20 minute meeting with your tax specialist, and a couple weeks later, they've got all your paperwork done and your refund amount calculated. Pretty magical stuff. KeAloha must be the most energetic, funny, and unboring tax professional in the world. I wanted to go have drinks with her after our meeting, she is that fun to be around. She gave me some tips for next year's taxes, and suggested I file for an extension, as those tend to be audited less than the normal deadline returns. Good to know! This is a professional agency, so their prices are indeed higher than your drive-thru tax shops. I think I paid around $450 for my returns (which were complicated - involving a rental property in Georgia). BUT...my refund amount was higher than ever, by about 30%, so all in all, totally worth the extra expense and minimal hassle. I'm definitely sticking with KeAloha next year and enjoying that nice chunk of change she got me in the meantime. read more

I didn't have a great experience with Kealoha. I was tired of doing my own taxes and figured it was time a professional took a look at them anyway, (TurboTax being a bot and all), so I came in and we had a great first meeting. After that, it was downhill. KeAloha was impatient and condescending and generally not great at communicating. Maybe she's better for people who are super intimidated by taxes and just hand everything over without question because it felt like every interaction was "more in sorrow than in anger." Sorry I am such a disappointment, Mom- thank god you're here to the rescue! LOL. On top of that, she's not particularly cheap for what was a pretty simple return. I don't mind paying people for their work, but they don't get to act like it's a favor and a nuisance. The icing on the cake was that she was brusque and condescending to her staff. As a lifer staff person myself, I hate to watch that. So I'm going back to doing my own taxes for the moment. Too bad- I like the location and I like the folks I interacted with who work for her, and we DID have that great first meeting. UPDATE: I appreciate Kealoha's response but I did end up filing my own return. read more

Starting with their inflated hourly rates, hidden cost, rising annual cost, and cold responses to questions and concerns - this place isn't somewhere you want to conduct your business...we have consistently given this group the opportunity after opportunity to prove they were worth the investment and always left questioning why we do business with these folks. We always thought they were over priced but thought, "well we are paying for top tier talent to get us the best returns"...and now that we are at the point where their rates are just too high ($250hr!), they don't produce grand returns, and they push back more than any "service" based company I've ever employed...and just a disappointment. Depending on what you value in those who you do business with...I would reconsider here. Lastly, after this last bait-and-switch, I told the team this would be the last time I would be cutting them a check and after many years would take my business elsewhere...their reply, "Great!" read more

I just called this company to try to find an accountant for my company (C-corp, we've grown to the point where I think we need better advice), and the woman who answered the phone appeared to think I was trying to get free advice on the phone. She refused to have a principal call me back to see if it would be a good fit, and emphasized that I could come in to talk but that it would be 'only ten minutes, after that they start to charge.' Maybe this is a great company, but I will never know. Very unfriendly on the phone. read more

KeAloha is the IRS whisperer. If that alone doesn't make you go to her, then add funny, personable, fabulous office staff, accommodating, flexible, HAPPY (yes, happy accountants), top notch, highly respected, and full service. I will never move out of SF just so I never have to leave this woman. I can't believe I am talking this way about my accountant. read more

Four words: Super Tax/Business Genius! She is down to earth, super friendly, easy to work with AND she puts up with my crazy schedule. She has saved me oodles of money over the years, because she is always looking out for my best interest. You can't get anyone better than KeAloha Couch. If I could give her 11 stars I would. read more

I don't have a lot of experience with tax preparers. Up until this year I've always done it online and it's been pretty simple. Last year however, I got domestic partnered to the love of my life and bought a house. Then I realized that since the Feds don't recognize my relationship that things were a lot more complicated! We found Couch & Associates through some internet digging. Their new San Francisco office is super convenient to both of our workplaces so we set up an appointment with Charles to do our taxes. Turns out that he is much smarter than we are and thought our taxes were pretty simple! Of course, he is also the guy who worked with the Feds to come up with a worksheet for domestic partners or gay married couples filing their federal taxes - so of course he thinks this is simple! The worksheets we filled out prior to our meeting were really helpful. Charles was really informative and on the ball when we met him. Our taxes were done in almost no time. KeAloha was super sweet and went through the final product with us so we (sort of!) understood what had been done and what we need to do for next year. Bonus points because we got refunds! My fervent hope is that DOMA will be struck down this year and we can get married and then go back to doing our own taxes on the internet. But if that doesn't happen at least we know that Charles, KeAloha, and the rest of their team will be there for us ready to do the hard work for us! read more

Just wanted to take a minute to write a review of Couch & Associates. I am by my very nature incredibly pessimistic when it comes to services offered by any business. When I go looking for guidance or recommendations, I love to jump on a site like yelp and read the reviews so that I can have a better understanding of what I could be getting myself into. Whether it be happy hour or a haircut I rely on these reviews to provide me guidance. I wish that I had more time to write a reviews to help others like me but sometimes that is an impossibility. However, given my recent experience with Couch & Associates I would be remissed if I did not write something. Rarely if ever does a company go above and beyond what is required for their customers. I am a young professional that recently graduated law school and had the inevitable task of trying to get an understanding about the complexity of my taxes and personal accounting as I dealt with the reality of trying to pay back thousands upon thousands of dollars in student loans. To say that this experience was overwhelming would be an understatement. WhenI sat down to asses my situation, I felt like I was Odysseus lost in a sea of numbers and tax code provisions that I could not begin to comprehend. Thankfully, the staff at C&A provided me guidance and walked with me step by step, not only to come up with a plan for my taxes, but also from my own personal accounting. They provided me with a detailed and comprehensive budget plan that allowed me to focus on getting my work done so that I could begin to truly establish myself as a professional. The staff at C&A were truly understanding of my position and my meetings with KeAloha were both informational and in many ways therapeutic. The burden of money and the weight it can bring at times is paralyzing. KeAloha had an understanding of that and took the time to make sure I understood all my options and I was comfortable with the plan. I was never rushed out the door even when my time ran over. She was incredibly accommodating to my schedule even offering to buy me dinner as she and her staff meticulously went over my financial documents late into the evening right in the middle of tax season. I really loved the fact that anytime I had a question or concern, I could make a phone call or send an email and It would be returned to me within 24 hours. This is going above and beyond. I'm actually quite surprised there are any negative reviews. To be quite honest, as a yelper, I very suspect of reviewers who have no history, no image and only bad things to say. read more

This review is long, long overdue. My wife and I run a home-based business which has blossomed from a few arts and crafts sales a month to a leading supplier and manufacturer of materials, self-published books, and instruction with a worldwide distribution network and a customer base of thousands across the globe. Our situation is unique: not only is our field of endeavor a very specialized niche, but we (mostly my wife) built it from the ground up, using our own systems and methods. This kind of operation can easily be a challenge to any tax consultant, because: - While we have always kept meticulous records, we never learned industry-standard record-keeping conventions and have always tended to evolve our own systems. This means that any tax professional working with our records needs to learn our homegrown systems and then translate them into industry-standard ones. - We are immigrants from another country, with a very different taxation system and business law framework. This means that a tax professional must always be alert to the possibility that we are operating under a misapprehension about US and California tax procedures. - The nature of our work not only crosses the boundaries between many established types of business (teacher, inventor, author, publisher, manufacturer, retailer, researcher, developer), but turns those boundaries into squooshy Jell-O. - In addition to my duties within our business, I am also a salaried employee at my "day job." From the first day we worked with them, KeAloha and her team have always risen to every challenge we could possibly throw in their path. They learned the nature of our business -- and its plethora of wacky aspects -- in record time. On numerous occasions, they analyzed our special needs and made a multitude of helpful suggestions as to how we could operate more profitably. They helped us to develop a comprehensive Tax Avoidance* strategy and to keep it evolving as our business does. They saw us through a ruthless California Sales & Use Tax audit which -- thanks to the Couch team's relentless efforts and despite our unorthodox record-keeping processes -- we passed with flying colors, not owing the BOE a red cent. I understand that is a very rare outcome for anyone who has undergone a tax audit elsewhere. Charles is a Tax Wizard who has the amazing and paradoxical combination of wildly creative thinking paired with almost obsessive attention to detail. And when we needed a bookkeeper, KeAloha introduced us to Lisa, who has literally changed my life and decimated my daily stress level, and for whom I would happily stand on top of a live George Foreman Grill. As I post this, on April 15th just after noon, I'm sure Couch & Associates have probably not racked up a dozen hours of sleep among the lot of them over the past couple of weeks. I, on the other hand, have slept soundly through every tax season since the first day I walked through their doors. Thank you, Couch team. --------- *Look it up: this term refers to the LEGAL way of reducing your tax burden. read more

KeAloha was great. Ok so she was 30 min late for our apt. When life gives you lemons you make lemonade, right?. So we went for a coffee at the nearby Starbucks. We got a call when she arrived and we returned to the office to meet with her for real this time. She was super apologetic and met with us for about 40 mins answering what were probably pretty simple questions. She was able to take some complex topics and turn them into simple and helpful advice. Probably saved us a few thousand dollars. Best part was that she did not charge us to make up for her tardiness. So in the end what started out as a lemon really turned out to be a gold nugget. read more

So, it's tax season again and I'm thinking back to my experience with Couch and Associates when they prepared my 2013 return. Let's see... As another review mentioned, staff had a snooty tone over the phone. I suppose I was duped into thinking I was dealing with a premium operation. (Well, it was in one way: price.) I also was asked to sign a fairly imposing memorandum in order to engage the service. During my visit Ms. Couch spent a lot of time chatting and asking personal questions, which didn't leave a lot of time or energy to focus on details of the tax situation that prompted me to seek a preparer in the first place. When my return was done, I found an error in calculating a deduction because they got my age wrong. Why did they assume my age instead of asking me? I then spent a fair amount of time playing phone tag to explain the error and--what should have been quite unnecessary--reminding Ms. Couch that I had paid her a considerable fee to have my return done correctly and on time. From her end, I got the impression she thought she was doing me a favor. In the end, I did get the forms I needed, but I also found that one of the original documents I had provided was missing. They never located it for me. The next year, I went to a different preparer, who was no-nonsense, got the job done right, and at half the price. read more

I don't write reviews often but after my experience with Couch and Associates I was beyond compelled to speak of my experience. I was in a bad place tax wise, I had neglected them for a number of years and it had gotten to the point where the IRS was beating down my door aggressively. I was very worried that I wouldn't be able to financially handle the burden and became very overwhelmed quickly. The fear of garnished wages was beyond my comprehension and all the embarrassment that goes with that. I came to Couch and associates and from the very moment I stepped in the door I was treated with the utmost respect. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I took this as a relief as my anxiety had risen substantially. The service I received was astounding. I came to them last minute in an emergency scenario as far as I was concerned. They took care of me thoroughly and saved me so much money on my return that I couldn't believe it! They really went to extra mile by e-filing for me and everything. What I was expecting to be up near $10,000 became a tax fee that was very manageable and truly unbelievable. I can't think you guys enough for helping me through this you are amazing and I can't recommend you highly enough. I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR NEW SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE!!!! You are my go to for any tax needs I will have in the future. THANK YOU !!! read more

My dad fell a bit behind on his taxes. Like 7 years behind. Needless to say this created quite a mess for him. After getting slammed with federal and state garnishments, me and one of my sisters finally talked him into having a professional get this straightened out once and for all. In came Ke'Aloha. My dad handed over the piles and piles of paperwork that he was able to find and asked her to please help him sort out the mess. Ke'Aloha then went to work. Not only did she submit all of the prior year taxes but she helped to negotiate a payment plan with the IRS and FTB that works with my dad's budget. She spent countless hours in negotiations and continues to follow up when my dad receives any new forms in the mail. I highly recommend Ke'Aloha for any of your tax needs. She is personable, honest, direct and very good at what she does. read more

KeAloha and team have dealt with our complicated tax situation (dual citizens, income in two countries, back taxes unpaid - oops!) with relative ease! AND with a quick phone call she has saved me heaps in fines! Any phone calls or emails are returned promptly and to place a tasty cherry atop all that, her staff/team are all friendly and helpful! She is amazingly friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. I like my accountant. It seems strange to say it, but it's true! She's cool and she helps look after my finances professionally! What's there not to like? read more

KeAloha and her team are always a joy to work with. I initially sought their help when I moved to CA from NY and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to move an LLC with me. KeAloha, found an awesome solve that definitely saved me a ton of money and made my life a whole lot easier. They've also handled all of my personal and sole proprietorship taxes for a number of years now without a hitch. Their more than reasonable rates make going to with their team a no-brainer. Not only do I end up getting more back every year than I would have otherwise, I've stopped stressing about taxes because I know I'm in good hands, which for me is worth every penny. read more

KeAloha, Isabelle, Anne, Charles, Midori...they are all amazing to our family. We have been clients since 2010. They have always treated us like family. We moved to Lake Tahoe for a few years and opened our own business..who was always there for us? Couch. I'm not full-of-it. Quite honestly, the only people I trust and would recommend any of my family or friends to is them. This sounds cliche but if you are in a bind or not, they are trustworthy, honest, loyal. KeAloha has called me at 10p, on April 14th many times, just to tell us how much she has saved for our family. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE ELSE BUT THEM. BIBLE. read more

Renee D'Ottavio is amazing!!! I don't like doing the books for my business and I have difficulty keeping organized. Furthermore, I can feel guilty because I am not always the best at keeping good records. Renee has been able to sort through my mess of accounting and create an organized record that makes sense. Furthermore, she is always kind and encouraging when she talks with me on the phone. If you are piled under a bookkeeping mess call Renee at Couch & Associates to help sort things out and begin making sense of your numbers. read more

Not sure what's going on here. My wife and I were looking for a new tax preparer and I decided to call Couch & Associates in mid-February based on the positive reviews here and the location. After asking if they were accepting new clients (they were), I had a nice initial chat over the phone with someone who dutifully took down our basic info, gave me a quote, and said we would be sent a tax organizer to begin gathering documents and additional info. We have a fairly straightforward tax situation and just want it done right. After a week and a half or so, I still hadn't heard or received anything. When I called to follow up, they had no idea who I was and claimed to have no record of speaking with me, even after we chatted for 15-20 minutes last time. Once again, I gave my contact info, and was told they'd look into it and get back to me. I assumed it must have been a simple misunderstanding or they were just busy, but I never heard back again, and it was getting too far into tax season, so we went with someone else. Very strange. If they didn't have time or couldn't take on new clients, they could have just told me and there would be no hard feelings! By contrast, the other service we went with responded to us again the same day after our initial call and we had everything turned in within a few days. read more

KeAloha treats you poorly (unless you make big bank), is slow returning phone calls, and -- here's the kicker -- heaven forbid you get audited, she'll pretend she doesn't know you. Ugh, what a huge mistake it was to go with Couch and Associates. They seem to be cherry-picking the market for customers with fat bank accounts and simple tax returns... if you have anything unusual, out of the ordinary, or think you might in the future -- stay away. read more

I made an appointment with Couch and Associates to discuss tax issues surrounding a cash gift from a family member. I had high expectations based on the rave review on Yelp. My consultation was with Charles. He was not experienced with this particular issue, and the advice he was able to give me he had to look up online on the spot. As he scrolled through the IRS documents on his monitor, he kept saying "Ugh!" as if they were giving him the biggest headache. I would say he did the bare minimum, was rather brusque in his manner and couldn't wait to hustle me out of his office. So I was disappointed with the consultation, but not really upset enough to write a bad review. Then I get a message from Charles saying I still owed $200 for the consultation even though I paid on the way out. This sparked a frantic search for the receipt. The matter was resolved quickly, but still left a bad impression. read more

KeAloha has been my, and my partner's, accountant for many years. We own a home, have children, and are both self employed so our taxes are never simple. I have happily recommended her to many other self employed professionals and businesses in need of a good accountant. I understand that the tax laws for Registered Domestic Partners have recently changed and that Couch and Associates is one of the few tax firms in the area that is specializing in doing filings for RDPs. Additionally, I come across a lot of folks that are involved in foreclosures, short sales or some other form of property default and KeAloha knows her stuff around these sorts of tax issues. I personally never enjoy paying taxes at all, but since I have to, I'm glad to know that I have someone that is working with me to maximize my deductions and limit my tax obligations. If you're looking for a good accountant, I would certainly recommend that you check her out. read more

KeAloha and her staff are super. They've helped me two years in a row now, and I'll keep going back. They are very sharp, fast, and make the process easy. KeAloha has great judgment about where's best to spend your time and effort to get the maximum return. She's keen to protect your income, and also keen to protect you from any impropriety that could endanger you later. Simply put, these folks are great and take care of you, large or small. Informal office. Good people. Smart tax geniuses. No BS. read more

For the past 10 years now, I have not let anyone but Kealoha touch my taxes. She is that rare combination of top-tier professional mixed with an overall great person. I am reminded of her expertise every April 15, but also throughout the year when she sends out informative newsletters. Kealoha and her staff have a genuine concern for their customers and are very responsive to questions or comments, taking the time to explain all sides of any particular tax or income issue. Her easy-going yet highly-efficient office makes it incredibly easy to sort through complex tax questions or complications. I recommend her without reservation. read more

2009 was my first year having worked as an independent contractor and also my first year visiting a tax service. I am ignorant about finances and was very, very nervous to see what dollar amount I was going to be sending to Uncle Sam this year. Couch & Associates were not impressed by my bookkeeping skills, but they walked me through the process and we managed to get my books sorted out. They even wound up getting me a refund, which I had not even considered a possibility. I like having a lady do my taxes and I noticed and appreciated the way KeAloha treats her employees (she referred to her office manager as a "goddess" when she went to get coffee). The office atmosphere is laidback, but they know what they're doing. I'll be back next year (with much more organized books). read more

Simply put, if you want the best accountant around, go to KeAhloha. She is brilliant. As an added bonus she and her staff are the salt of the earth. I no longer dread tax time. I look forward to my visit with the entire crew! read more

I went to KeAloha for two years and they made many errors, from leaving key spots blank, to under reporting my income. I'm still dealing with the IRS 4 years later. They are way over priced for how sloppy they were. I also had H&R Block look over my taxes done by them and they made an additional error which cost me abut $500 less per return. I thought of asking for them to correct it but I just don't even want to deal with this shady operation anymore. They are negligent. read more

All the positive feedback isn't hype, folks - KeAloha and her team are the real deal. She got me out of a big bind in amazing record time, and everything was squared away and I was breathing easy in a few days. She and her team are well worth the reasonable fee for figuring out and filing my taxes - saved me quite a bit in the end. She made every effort to find any deductions I had. KeAloha also wants to make sure you have smooth sailing from now on - I'm going to get set up with her bookkeeping department soon so I can avoid problems in the future. Despite being leery due to not-so-great experiences with tax preparers in the past, I now have complete faith that KeAloha has my best interests at heart. If I move, I'd still have her as my tax pro. read more

No, no, no. Just no. Worked with partial success with Ke'Aloha on accounting/taxes for a nonprofit I directed, and decided to do personal taxes one year when I came up too close to the deadline. Gave her a box of documents -- TOO many -- just before taxes were due, a big mea culpa; BUT I put the most important stuff at the top with a draft of EACH/EVERY needed form and an instruction sheet with a list of priorities on what to look over in terms of finding possible deductions, with associated documentation in its own folder on top of the box (and a comment to "look through the box for x,y,z ONLY IF you have time"). She simply transcribed what I already had on the draft forms onto her own forms -- not a single change, no additional deductions, etc. -- and signed her name. Charged me several hundred dollars, and wouldn't offer any refund (even partial) when requested. I looked over my forms later when I had time and submitted an amended return with substantial $$ coming back to me, a huge chunk having essentially gone into her pocket. UGH. read more

KeAloha, Joyce and Grizel have made a traumatic financial situation a distant memory. They are kind, real people, who clearly, know their business. Joyce created a very organized and easy to follow check list that covered my business and home expenses. I can easily find the required information and feel secure in my calculations. Thanks to their efficiency and approachable manner, what used to be days of grueling, anxiety soaked scrambling and research, is now a couple of hours of sorting statements and a 45 minute office visit. This is quality of life. I highly recommend seeing Joyce or KeAloha. Working with Grizel is a bonus. read more

when some tax professional help is needed....start here. thorough, courteous, reasonable and very knowledgeable with how to reach/contact/manage the IRS staff which means you get expedited service (to the IRS) read more

I first saw KeAloha last year as a first time homebuyer who didn't know exactly what I could and couldn't deduct. KeAloha, while being very conservative in her advice to me, make sure I got everything I was entitled to. I went back to Couch & Associates again this year because of questions about what property taxes were and weren't deductible and saw Charles Frisbie. Again, the process was painless and I am getting a great refund. Although my taxes aren't as complicated as some (I don't own my own business, for example) and I am not wealthy, I received courteous, attentive and prompt service. read more

I had waited too long. I had applied for an extension, but it was October 13 and the extension went to October 15. I called Couch & Associates. I was able to get an appointment the next day. LeAloha interviewed me and oversaw the preparation of my returns. Returns with both the IRS and FTB were filed and I was out of the office within the hour. The service was prompt, courteous, and expert. LeAloha pointed out several deductions that I had overlooked. These deductions were more than her modest fee. I strongly recommend LeAloha Couch to you for tax preparation services! ... and, by the way, she has a very positive attitude and is a pleasure to do business with! read more

Excellent. I came in a nervous wreck because I hate paperwork and left truly relaxed, confident and happy that I was in great, capable hands. I would say it is clear that integrity, trust, and a love for their work is fundamental to the company and is clear upon entrance. Where else does one ask to stay in an office after an appointment is finished in order to sip coffee and catch up on work emails. :) Peaceful, competent, efficient. I recommend this organization and the team without hesitation. From the moment I called to my becoming a client for the long-term, this place has shown me they know the business well and are here to help with a smile and expertise. Thank you! read more

First class bull crap! Very condescending! I waited for a week like what KeAloha said but it took more than a week so I decided to call to just ask about the status of my tax return and I get lectured on how she is working hard blah blah. read more

We've gone to Kealoha Couch for the past three years. Their tax organizer makes everything super easy to pull together in preparation for the in person meeting. With complicated taxes this year we were particularly happy to have Kealoha and crew on our side. In short they are knowledgeable, easy, entertaining and always helpful. read more

Our small C-Corp has used Couch to handle our taxes and bookkeeping for the last three years. I can confidently state that in every financial aspect Couch and Associates has worked with us professionally, personably and with our best financial interests in mind for growing our small company. When we've had questions they've been diligently answered. When we call we are a priority. When we have piles of receipts they take on our book keeping. We are so pleased with the business relationship they have fostered. read more

KeAloha is AWESOME. My dad was in serious trouble for not filing taxes for many years. It all came crashing down quick, and KeAloha was there to help file all of his back taxes and she delt with the IRS and the State of CA. I can honestly say that if we hadn't found her when we did, my dad would have lost everything. My sister found Couch and Associates through searching on yelp, so I thought this would be the perfect place to tell our story like others have. read more
