Her speed is not a breath of fresh air; it's the baseline anyone should expect.

I am in the middle of a purchasing an existing business and got to a point during my business…read moretransaction where I had to submit an Allocation Form that was time sensitive. I needed direction from my CPA but he was out of town doing a business seminar. My situation was unique as the seller usually does the allocation in a business purchase but in my case, the broker/seller was pushing me to do it. I called several CPAs in the San Ramon/Danville/Dublin area to see if we could have a "filler" CPA go over numbers with us for this transaction. I must have called 25 CPA's in a day. Some answered and we're quick to tell me that I should push back, and make the seller do it. They made it seem like what I was looking for couldn't be done and they just didn't want to deal with it. Like many of the CPA's I called, Ken was busy when i first reached out. But his assistant or front desk person, Reese(if that's how you spell it) was very attentive with his responses. Ken is the only accountant that called back and only accountant that actually asked me the details/numbers of my transaction. He took time to understand the unique-ness of my situation and made sense of it. In a 25 minute call he educated me more than the 7 or 8 other CPAs with higher review ratings. After talking to him, I felt like I was given "survival tools" and "little nuggets" for my bigger, future entrepreneurial endeavors. He was so pleasant and easy to talk to. To be in the generation of customer service being taken over by robots and people treating everyone like numbers. Both Ken and Reese were so authentic and human in their responses. No overselling, no fake politeness. I have been with my CPA in Hayward for 10 years and Ken really has me thinking about switching over.

From the start of working together years ago, I've appreciated Ken's energy, expertise, and how he asks questions to see if there is any way he can help us do our taxes in the most efficient manner possible! I always appreciate his insights, his responsiveness, and his understanding of the tax laws and changes. As a business owner, he does a great job of looking at how I can take advantage of the tax laws (while being conservative enough not to trigger red flags!). I've recommended him to my clients for years so I figured I'd recommend him wholeheartedly here on Yelp as well!

Having previously hired a bookkeeper who gave me tasks to complete then ignored me if I did not do them (and was happy to take a fee anyway), Blythe comes as a refreshing antidote. Blythe will figure out what YOU need to get the job done, and she will support you with patience and without judgment. She will clean up any messes, put systems in place, and look at ways to streamline. She has a special gift for working with small business owners who are in growth mode, and she will help you in the here and now as well as help you plan for the future.

She will save you time and money, and she will help you get more of your life back.

Unfortunately he retired and sold his book of business to Hunter. My family and I should have switched yet we trusted the new company. This was a very poor decision on our part. In my 45 years of doing my yearly taxes this was the worst experience ever! Their personal touch, lack of communication and overall professionalism was unacceptable. My wife and I have never been more disappointed. Needless to say we will never use them again and would encourage anyone looking to use their services to re think that decsion.

We used to be under this HOA management. We aren't anymore, thank goodness. We had nothing but…read moretrouble with them when we were. But recently, we received a notice that we were due a refund on our last HOA payment. They stated they would be levying a fee for refunding us our own money! It wasn't much but upon reading our copy of the CCRs, which I still had, there is no legal basis for them to take a fee for simply mailing a check. I contacted them and asked repeatedly for an explanation and proof they have the legal right to do so and they just kept repeating the same inane answers that did not justify it. I am so, so glad we are no longer under an HOA and especially this one!

You can read about some of the negative experiences I've had with them in my earlier reviews. Today I got in the mail a letter that was quite possibly the best surprise ever- it was a letter from another HOA company saying they are officially taking over as of 6/1/26. I'm too old to do cartwheels, but I did a little dance out of sheer exuberance. I don't know what this other company is like, but it's impossible for them to be even half as bad as Helsing. If you're in an HOA run by Helsing, you should bother the crap out of your HOA board to change companies ASAP. We did it...you can too.

I've been doing my taxes for the last few years, but will eventually need to create a new tax structure to accommodate growth and eventually find a tax firm to take over when time is becomes more of a premium. I found Impact Complex Financials on Yelp along with a 5 other tax firms. I picked the top 5 highest rated businesses in my area and reached out to all of them. Only one had clear and concise communication with a follow up and did not charge ridiculous fees...take a guess who was the clear winner = Christian from Impact Complex Financials Christian is a sharp young gent; punctual, professional, well spoken, knowledgeable and most of all honest. That gut feeling when you run into a good, decent human... According to his website he is a Certified Management Accountant and an Enrolled Agent as well...brilliant! I had a new client consultation with him and he answered all the questions I had without hesitation and also gave me an honest breakdown of my situation. I will most definitely be referring people his way. Be sure to visit his site. https://www.impactcomplex.com/ Also be sure to check him out on Instagram, so many useful and educational videos. https://www.instagram.com/chrisedoria/ Cheers!

I was surprised to see someone of his caliber not with a big firm, but upon my personal due diligence found out that he's ex-Deloitte for many years, which means he really knows his stuff.

They delivered on their promise to routinely meet with our business to strategize and plan and were prompt in responding to our needs through the year.

I always owed something when working with other financial professionals. Some other reviewers comment that Miguel markets too much, which he does market a lot for his services, but I came to learn through our partnership that he is enthusiastic knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing financial planning and services . I found Miguel and his team to be trustworthy and deserving of manging these aspects of my business. If you own a business and have your finacial reporting in order*, can afford their services*, and be able to financially implement* any tax planning done together, then yes I highly recommend this firm.
