Honestly, I…read morewas a little hesitant at first since everything was done online, but after our first call I felt comfortable and decided to move forward--and I'm really glad I did. She's knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. She took the time to go through everything with me, made sure I didn't miss any deductions, and helped maximize my refund. She also gave helpful guidance for future tax planning. All documents were uploaded through a secure system, which made the process feel safe and organized. The whole process was smooth and stress-free. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy CPA.

I was with Semaphore for just over 2 years. It's now been 6 months since I ended the relationship…read moreand I'm receiving notice after notice from the State Franchise Tax Board, EDD, Los Angeles City and other entities demanding money because Semaphore filed incorrectly and obviously had me pay incorrect amounts. I don't know what I'm supposed to pay (that's what I hired them for), and pay whatever they tell me. Not only that, I had another CPA look at my 2019 Returns which Semaphore filed and found they made a $25,000 error! Luckily they're able to amend the returns that Semaphore botched and get this money back. They forgot to stop paying one of my contractors for months (even though our very clear email thread stated the end date) and even though I gave them all of the needed information months in advance, they told me the day taxes were due that I had to write a $90,000 check within 8 hours to the government. No heads up. No "by the way, this is coming down the pipe, let's prepare." Just, tax returns are done, you own $90K today! They had months to do this. They nickel and dime you for every additional service, like a $6 refile fee with the city they'll charge you $250 to handle. Beware! They have carved out a niche in the creator community, but they are completely negligent and you will be sorry you went with them in the long run.

Kim was extremely rude throughout the call…read more I was calling, based on a referral from a trusted colleague, to gather information on my options regarding my property situation. Whether I am a client or not, I should not receive comments that are short and feel derogatory.

Kim was incredible! After working with our CPA for years we ran into an issue with a business name…read morechange which left us with a potential withholding from IRS of 10s of thousands of $. Our CPA couldn't figure out what the problem was. We engaged Kim's services hoping that she could figure this out. She was able to drill down on details that had been over looked and correct then with the IRS. She quite frankly kept our business going by figuring this out and saved our business from huge penalties. After this we moved all of our tax preparation & annual planning over to her both personal& business. Where she again caught a huge error on our personal property taxes made by our county...and we live in Texas! She also met with our financial planner and had him check into a few options for retirement for us not previously done...to which he came back and said she was correct and we made changes there as well which is setting us up more adequately for the future. She is amazing, thorough, direct & to the point. I appreciate how straightforward she is, I simply don't have time for long discussions and she keeps things thorough but brief. I saw a prior post about her not answering many questions for a potential client, honestly her time is $ and she's worth every penny and then some. It makes perfect sense to not hand out free tax input when it's your business. My advice is engaged her services and be patient, you will thank yourself in the end as we are now!

Since moving to Los Angeles as a newly minted and trained physician in 2016, I originally had a…read moredifficult time navigating the accountancy and finance-related issues associated with a professional medical corporation (S-Corp). Compounded by W2 income, a couple of small businesses that are all separate differently, my needs (and anxiety) grew over the years. Although I put my time in understanding and preparing everything, previous accountants dropped the ball with communication or missed ends. My wife (who I met in LA :) and has her own proprietorship) and I met Jenny Lau & Bob Topp for our accounting needs in early 2019. We were impressed with Jenny's experience working with medical practices in the area. - Immediately, I appreciated Jenny's straightforward nature when it comes to financial and time quotes for work needed for tax preparation and personal / business filings, including 1096 and 1099. - It was an especially difficult task, considering my numerous spreadsheets and unreconciled ends left from previous CPAs. - Through a friendly and receptive staff (especially Ms/ Kimber Spickert), sensitive information is communicated both ways in a timely fashion. - An encrypted portal is used to manage the uploading/downloading of all forms and supporting material, including signature forms. - All extensions and filings were completed on time!!! Furthermore, Topp & Lau partners with an excellent payroll system (Heartland, associate: Michele Holmes) that has been instrumental in our personal and business transitions to W2 where applicable. As mentioned, the firm is straightforward with costs, utilizing an engagement form and including fees for technology costs and time need for reconciliation of disparate accounts. Their pricing is on par with that of previous CPAs and my understanding of the market in Los Angeles (though their firm in in Orange County). ***However, we were very happy with the work that was completed for our businesses, including both savings and ongoing considerations as we bought a house and have a child on the way! I look forward to seeing how our relationship with Topp & Lau will evolve over the year. Definitely a strong recommend to both individual/families with personal accounting needs, as well as young companies and practices looking to get started off on the right foot!
