After reading lot of positive Yelp reviews, my husband and I booked an initial consultation for our…read moreyearly taxes. My husband is a musician who does lots of gig/freelance work and we wanted to get professional eyes on our taxes as our situation has become more complex. We had an intro call with Sandy who assured us she could help with our situation. We then decided to take the next step and provided all of our documents within their portal on March 3rd. After submitting we heard nothing back from them for weeks and so we called towards the end of the month to check in. When we did this they only then started asking us for additional documents and wanted us to reformat all profits and losses within their specific document formats despite us already providing these 4 weeks prior in our own format. We asked them if they could just use our existing documents and they said that would be an additional bookkeeper service of $300. At this point we were very frustrated that they took an entire month to tell us all of this after we submitted initial documents. We ended up filing with an alternative.

We all know tax season can be stressful, but with Jon at the helm, filing this year turned into a…read moresurprisingly pleasant experience! From the moment we walked into Jon's office, his entire team made us feel welcome and comfortable. It was like having a friendly and supportive family helping us navigate the tax maze (something we definitely needed!). Jon himself is a true tax whiz. He patiently reviewed every document with a keen eye, explaining everything in a way that even a complete tax novice like me could grasp. Beyond his knowledge, Jon's patience and kindness were truly remarkable. No question felt insignificant, and he took the time to break down complex concepts for both me and my business partner until everything clicked. Honestly, he took care of everything! And a big shoutout to Marco and Dulce too! Marco was a fantastic behind-the-scenes support throughout the whole process. Dulce helped me with my personal taxes as well so patiently. If you're looking for a tax team who treats you like family, explains things clearly, and gets the job done right, look no further than Jon and his team! They truly relieved our tax season stress and made the experience surprisingly enjoyable. From your friends at Mirage Co., Jonathan M.

I was referred to Michael Garelick by a friend who is a satisfied customer. I needed to have my…read moreexisting tax return for accuracy and missing deductions. The first thing I noticed was how responsive and friendly Michael was. It was clear that he cared about his clients and wanted to provide top-notch service. I explained what I needed and within an hour, I was able to log into his client site and upload the document he requested, a TurboTax file. He reviewed the document and got right back to me. He pointed out things I had missed and explained how I could file a 1040-X with the IRS. I was prepared to pay his normal fee for providing this service, which was fair, but he made an allowance for me because of the simplicity of my issues and charged me far less. It is rare for a business to do this. It's nice, and rare, to deal with someone so understanding, competent, and fair. I don't give gratuitous compliments. Michael earned every laudatory comment!

I called Garelick Business Management during tax season and again afterward. Their admin, Grace,…read moreanswered the phone, but she did not seem able to answer even basic tax-related questions. Normally, at a professional tax or business management firm, the person answering the office phone should at least be able to address basic questions or connect you with someone who can. Instead, she repeatedly said, "I'm sorry, Jessica Luengas is not available right now." I waited for a response from Jessica Luengas and her team, but no one followed up. Communication was very poor. It was also frustrating that there did not seem to be a regular team member, or even another tax preparer, available to answer basic questions. It made me wonder what kind of tax and business management operation this is if everything seems to depend on one tax person being available. For a firm offering these services, I expected a more responsive team and better client support. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this firm.

I cannot recommend Pinnacle Tax Services highly enough. Sevak is truly exceptional. He is always…read moreresponsive, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his clients. No matter how big or small the question is, he takes the time to explain everything clearly and thoughtfully. As a business owner, having an accountant you can fully trust is priceless, and Sevak delivers that peace of mind every single time. He is proactive, detail oriented, and always looking out for my best interests. I never feel rushed, ignored, or confused, which is rare in this industry. If you are looking for an accounting firm that is reliable, professional, and actually human, this is it. Sevak sets the bar very high, and Pinnacle Tax Services has earned my full trust and loyalty. Highly recommended.

We engaged Direct Tax Relief after receiving a massive penalty from the IRS for an information…read morereturn. The cost for engaging them wasn't cheap, but was a fraction of the penalty. It took many months for IRS to respond to their letter (partly due to the government shutdown that was going on during the time). However, the IRS agreed with their argument in the letter and waived the penalty. It was a huge relief to us from a very unfortunate and minor error in the form that we had submitted a couple years ago. Super happy with the outcome and I'd definitely use Direct Tax Relief again should something like this happen with the IRS again in the future!
