Quick friendly responses and lots of needed information gives me security now with my taxes and bookkeeping.

E & P Financial Services were understanding when I was missing a piece of paper and freaked out. They are ALWAYS crazy helpful with taxes but now that I am starting my own small business they are taking it to the next level. I cannot put a price or value on their services, they gave me wonderful advice. You should use them if you are an individual or a business person. Their professionalism and patience are only topped by their knowledge base. BOTH Google AND chatGPT gave me wrong/bad info. So much for AI currently. Do what I should always do - talk to a REAL professional. Talk to the folks at E & P. read more

I trust them with my taxes! I travel all the way from San Jose. I've been coming for years and I will not trust anyone else with my taxes. Thank you so much Paul & vinnie! You truly are a life saver. read more

My family has been long time customers of Vinnie and Paul. They moved from High St. and their new offices are great. Plenty of parking, large office and easy to find. They are busy, so make sure you make an appointment in advance. Last year, I waited too long and was unable to get an appointment so we ended up going to one of the big name tax prep places, and it was a lot of work, time and headaches. This year, I made sure to make an appointment with E&P about a month ago (in January), and uploaded my documents to the portal as I received them. We came in for our appointment today and after a quick review, we were in and out in less than 20 minutes. The team is very responsive via phone or email, and have helped with various tax issues over the years. They are very friendly, personable and professional. I highly recommend them for all your tax needs! read more

THANK YOU Vinnie!!!! I cannot express our gratitude more profusely. Vinnie took us on a Saturday, and by Monday our taxes were done! I have an LLC and also personal taxes filing married. My husband is in law enforcement and our tax situation is a bit complicated. Our last tax company made mistakes that got us audited, and it was a nightmare! We needed a competent and amazing Tax service, and SO glad we found it with E&P Financial Solutions! Vinnie is a MASTER! He was able to simplify our deductions and get every last penny he could save for us. I highly recommend him! What a relief that we are done with another stressful tax year! read more

I really recommend this fast and extremely knowledgeable company. Definitely coming back next year! Thanks to Vinnie! read more

This was our second time filing taxes with Paul from E&P solutions. I have to say, I've never met a better tax consultant before. Paul always has useful advice for us to plan our taxes better for next year. This time around, I even got a notice from IRS for a hefty amount that I owe because of some stock trades that I forgot to include in my 2019 filing. He reviewed my my W2, 1099 and tax filing from 2019 and knew right away that I don't owe that big of an amount. He refiled my 2019 taxes and in fact, it turned out that state and federal owe me a little refund. I was very happy with the outcome and Paul was kind enough to explain how IRS came up with the amount they think I owed. Paul is extremely diligent in filing taxes. He usually asks us for documents that even we forget to upload for our filing. I wish I could give E&P financial solutions more than 5 stars. They totally live upto their motto of "Easy and Pleased" (E&P) read more

Paul is AMAZING. He is a life savior. The two previous people that had worked on our small business taxes had done a terrible job and left us in a nightmarish scenario by not filing our taxes properly, telling us one thing and doing another. Paul was able to quickly identify the problem(s), find solutions, and save us lots of money. If I could give Paul 10 stars, I would. Paul and his team are super professional, knowledgable, don't cut corners, and are really trustworthy. You can go to sleep at night knowing you are in good hands. I would highly recommend E&P to anyone. read more

I have used E&P Financial Solutions for a couple of years now and they are amazing to work with. Hassle free, courteous service, prompt and thorough. What more could you ask for? I had a change in circumstances this year and they did a great job of reviewing all relevant aspects in regards to my tax situation. They have a convenient portal where you can upload your documents. They are able to explain things very simply and provide advice on what you need to do or not do to avoid future problems. read more

Vinnie is the best! He's super fast, friendly and provides very solid tax advice. I've been using him for 5+ years and have not had any issues. They also have a new office in a convenient location. I would highly recommend his service! read more

I have worked with Vinnie & Paul for several years now and I continue to be impressed and supported by their knowledge & work ethic. I have had complex tax filings the past few years, which was very stressful for me, but they guided me through me the process which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I have also recommended their services to friends and they have also been happy with Paul & Vinnie's work. read more

I had a wonderful experience working with Vinnie and Paul at E&P tax group for filing our income tax return. They are knowledgeable, efficient, attentive and kind. I had three different real estate transactions that made my taxes complicated and they handled the taxes with ease and helped file my taxes to really maximize my return. They are generous with their time and will answer every question you have. I plan to continue to use their services going forward. Highly recommended! read more

Easy to make an appointment, conveniently located, pleasant office.  Paul and his partner Vinny are friendly, competent, and efficient.  We got our taxes done easily in a single sit down.  Paul asked the right questions and the figures were plugged in. He sent it off while we sat there and in less than two weeks Federal and State tax refunds were automatically deposited in our bank.  All done at a very reasonable fee.   Second year in a row, just as good. I recommend them wholeheartedly. Tax year 2020 just as good as ever. read more

I trust Paul to professionally and efficiently file my taxes every year. More than that, he is an encyclopedia of knowledge and helps me best strategize my finances for future tax years read more

My 3rd year having Paul do my taxes, and he does a fantastic job every year. Very easy to book with. Responds to both call and email. Super fast and thorough. Highly recommend. read more

I go to vinnie and Paul every year. I'd recommend this place to anyone who like quick and efficient work when it comes to getting your taxes done. They also give you advice on what to do and not to do to avoid paying more than you should. I was in and out of the office in less than 15 minutes. I'll be going every year. read more

Vinnie and Paul are the best tax preparers I have ever worked with. They take the time to explain my return. They are calm and kind which are important attributes for folks working in a field that can case their client's a lot of stress or anxiety. They will get you every penny you've got coming to you. Above all they are efficient. read more

Vinnie & Paul were responsive, easy to work with, and got our taxes done quickly and efficiently. Vinnie met for a 30 minute briefing on the filing with recommendations. Would recommend and use again. read more

This is my first year with mainly 1099 / independent consultant income. The ominous cloud of tax time was looming over and scaring me! Paul was excellent at orienting me to the ins and outs of understanding expenses, deductions and taxes I'd be looking at. It was $125 for a consultation and definitely worth it! It was like a college seminar on how to manage expenses and taxes for your emerging business, except 1-1 tailored to your specific needs and questions. I decided to come in and cough it up after having called twice with general questions. The free tips Paul had shared over phone were helpful and I never felt pressured to come in and use their services, so I immediately felt he wasn't out to scam and was trustworthy. If you're a consultant seeking a "tax guy," you're welcome! read more

this location have been my usual place to get my tax done for the last few years. I noticed that you can book an appointment here, but they always let me do a drop in, may be its because I always only have 1 form to file. It usually only take about 10-20 minutes at $125, in and out for my w-2 form. The staff is always friendly and professional in my experiences read more

Believe the hype. This was our first time coming here and I am so glad I did some research and found this business to do our tax returns this year. The price was fair and the person preparing them, appeared to be very knowledgeable and was easy to talk to. The place is very clean and everyone was welcoming. It's a small parking lot so be prepared to find parking if necessary. read more

Vinnie is incredibly knowledgeable and efficient with his work. Even something as unexciting as paying one's taxes is made an enjoyable experience because of how friendly Vinnie is. I cannot recommend him enough! read more

Congratulations. If you're reading this review it means you have stumbled upon Liberty Tax and have found Vinnie and Paul. No need to search any further. Pick up the phone, make an appointment and let these two very capable, very professional gentlemen take care of any business you have pending with Uncle Sam. I've been getting my taxes done with Vinnie since 2012 and then about two years ago when I got married, Vinnie wasn't available so I made an appointment with Paul. I felt a little anxious and my separation anxiety got activated because I was so trusting of Vinnie, but Paul is just as awesome. Both men are conscientious, easygoing, accommodating and reasonable. That's the service we've come to expect and consistently receive year after year. read more

Wow! This is my new tax preparer for always.. My home burned to the ground in Paradise, CA last November and since then my life has become a heretofore unknown freaking unreality: everything gone, PTSD, heaps of paperwork, jammed up systems, overworked, incompetent, or thoughtless workers (along with a lot great lay people, too, of course) Since I'm living temporarily here and there, I didn't know who to hire to do my taxes. But, I did a really smart thing..I checked Yelp. I followed you yelp-ers 5-star advice and hired Vinnie at Liberty Tax Service. He listened, acknowledged that he heard us, was sympathetic, asked relevant questions, and prepared our taxes on the spot. When we left I had no worries: no "Come back in three weeks and I'll have it ready" or "I just need these 15 additional things from you" or "We've misplaced your file or all your information" or "You're not elibible after all" or "our phones have been down for three weeks. Sorry" or.. Vinnie was great and I highly recommend him. When we get a forever home, wherever that may be, I will have him do our taxes. read more

It's been several years since I've gone to an accountant to do my taxes. But as my finances have gotten more complex, I felt it was time to ditch TurboTax and talk to a tax professional that could answer all my questions and concerns in real-time. My brother recommended E&P Financial Solutions so I called to set up an appointment with Vinnie the following week. Overall, it was a very positive experience. Vinnie was professional, efficient, and great in communicating all the details of our tax return. He even provided some really helpful advice for my wife regarding some changes to her work situation this year. I highly recommend the folks at E&P and we'll definitely be back again. read more

Vinnie and Paul are the BEST!! We started with them when our usual accountant was on vacation. Vinnie was fast and efficient. And best of all saved us thousands in taxes! I cannot recommend them enough. read more

I highly recommend. Very professional, honest and thorough. Will be using again next year.

Tax time can be stressful. I did a brief search and came across the Liberty Tax branch at Oakland. They had awesome reviews and so I decided to take a chance. I had nothing but a great experience at every step of the process. . Paul took time to patiently answer all my questions and promptly set me up with after business hours appointment. They are open until 9 PM. Paul is very friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive. He helped me navigate through and find the best possible scenarios. He took time to patiently answer all my questions and I found him to be a thorough professional. Paul and his team will go above and beyond to help in every which way. I am very relieved to have Paul and their team go through my tax and helped me out through this difficult situation. I will definitely recommend them to friends and family. Paul - if you are reading this. Thank you very much for all your help and for going above and beyond. I truly appreciate it. read more

Very professional and knowledgeable. They have been helping with my taxes for more than 5 years now. Highly recommended.

My appointment was at 10, I was finished by 10:15 flat rate $150 awesome service thank you Vinnie -Adreona read more

Vinnie was awesome!!! typically I've used turbo tax but this year I decided to seek some professional help as I had a lot of changes in my finances. He was super helpful in planning for taxes next year and got me a nice refund that was larger than expected. Highly recommend. read more

I've been going to Vinnie for years. He's really good. Always get something back on my taxes. Highly recommend him.

I'm not joking when I say I've cycled through at least 6 CPAs and accountants over the last 5 years. As a small business owner who's meticulous about her finances, I was ready to give up on finding someone competent and responsive. A colleague highly recommended Paul and Vinnie so I decided to see if they lived up to the hype. From my very first interaction I knew my search was over. Vinnie answered my call after only one ring and gave me an extremely fair quote over the phone. After I emailed my tax documents they did my personal AND corporate taxes within TWO DAYS - that's insane! Granted, my stuff was extremely organized and straightforward but it would take a week for my previous CPA just to email me back. I then had the pleasure of meeting them in person on a late Saturday afternoon. Paul patiently sat with me for an hour as we carefully went over my tax returns, making sure he understood my financial situation and answering all my questions. I was amazed at how painless the process was and was eager to file the returns. Unfortunately after I came home and went over everything in more detail I realized additional deductions should've been taken and certain refunds weren't reported, so I contacted Paul in a panic. He made all necessary changes within three days without judgment and recalculated all my estimated payments without me asking. Needless to say, Paul and Vinnie have my business for life. I'm referring ALL my family, friends, and colleagues to these guys - you should, too! read more

Paul at Liberty Tax is hands down the most honest and adept tax accountant I've ever worked with! Paul is an ex-Accenture consultant who is nothing but top notch. He speaks in clear, plain terms I can understand and is very up to date on all the tax laws. Liberty Tax are seamless, professional and the prices are super fair. I won't go anywhere else. read more

My taxes got a little complicated, for me, and I had several years of catch-up on my plate. TurboTax was throwing some burnt fries into its batch and increasingly wasn't cutting it. After gulping down review upon review last year, I realized many Yelpers were raving about Liberty Tax, specifically, the combo called Vinnie and Paul. Vinnie got my taxes caught up last year without a hiccup, and this year Paul had me in and out, well, in the time it would have taken to eat a super veggie burger. My sense of relief and gratitude for their gracious calm competency and service is immense. From now on they're my five star go-to. And my tip? Make them yours! read more

Really great people! We attempted to do taxes by ourselves in the past but Paul was able to assist tremendously. We will always return to this Liberty Tax. Thank you, Vinnie and Paul! read more

Have to update my review. Scheduled follow-up discussion with Paul, and he did not give me the time of day, even giving me incorrect information related to Section 121 exclusion; he didn't even bother to answer my email when I asked him a specific question after researching the tax code myself. I later conferred with another tax accountant who confirmed that i had received incorrect information. Very disappointed in their lack of care and knowledge in my follow-up experience. read more

Vinnie took the time to help me with a serious financial problem and refer me to helpful advice, then followed up in a kind and supportive manner. I would recommend Vinnie and Liberty Tax based on the clarity and positivity of my interactions with them and am likely to use them again in the future. read more

Paul really helped me in a pinch! He was able to fit me into a short window of time, on tax filing day!!! Not only did he do this for me but he was professional, courteous, and effective! Five stars! Thanks again Paul!!! read more

Paul is a lifesaver. Working with him was one of the most enjoyable experiences. He is transparent, diligent, well-versed in tax accounting, and prioritizes the customer. I don't think I could have picked a better place! Highly recommend! Well worth it! read more
