This is my second review of Excellent Financial, I continue to be impressed with the level of service I've received. Armando, who did my taxes, is very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Everyone I've come in contact with, including the receptionist has been super friendly and courteous. If you want someone who knows all lot about taxes, definitely choose this company. read more

I have been going to Armando and Jordan since 2017 when I had my business. They have ALWAYS been patient with me as I ALWAYS extend to October and turn in all my tax paperwork 1-2 days before the deadline. They are ALWAYS happy to help and they have taken care of my business and personal taxes better than anyone else I have ever used in my life. Everything they do is online so an office visit is not really necessary and it's extremely convenient. They are professional and friendly and I recommend them to anyone looking for a good accounting firm that knows what they are doing without putting you or your business at risk. read more

Been getting our taxes done here by Raymond. He's very thorough. I highly recommend!

Amazing experience. Fast, friendly, knowledgeable. Thank you for getting me the most $$$ back . Thank you Armando .

For the past few years I have been a client of Jordan's. Jordan is informative and always patient with all my tax questions. I have been so impressed with the ease of having Jordan prepare and file my taxes that I have recommended him to my family as their tax preparer/ consultant. And I am so delighted to report that my family finds working with Jordan as enjoyable as I do. read more

Armando was so helpful, pleasant, and knowledgeable! He helped educate us, answered all our questions competently, and was professional and friendly. Service he provided was thorough and fast. Highly recommend for getting tax help and tax services! read more

I recently utilized Armando's expertise in handling my taxes for 2019,20,21 & 22! He really is the Best! This guy has been helping me for just about 10 years now and Always comes through for me! It was bad that I had neglected filing for those 4 years, but it was at a tough time of my life. I have gotten my act together now and...like I said...He came through like flying colors! I will not tell you what he charged me for the catch up job he did as it seems like it might have been because he was in a good mood or really likes me! Very Reasonable to say the least! Thanks Armondo! read more

Raymond did our taxes last year. He was easy to work with, but not extremely knowledgeable for our specific situation (moved from NY that year). We were upset to get a letter 6 months later saying we submitted our taxes late and would need to pay a fine. We never got word from Raymond about this. He did send us a check to reimburse us for the late fee - but I that is not enough for me to go back. read more

My husband and I were searching for an independent tax company to help us do our joint taxes for the first time since we purchased a home. We couldn't have asked for better and smoother interaction. Jordan Bello was very professional, informative, nice and responsive. He was able to process our paperwork in less than an hour and we ended up getting our tax return within a week! It was a pleasure to work with Jordan. Thank you Jordan and Excellent Financial Solutions for taking care of us and giving us the best first experience as newly weds. We will be sure to return every year! read more

He worked hard to complete my return in a timely manner. I did end up owing money ( quite a bit) that I have never owed in the past . Being retired & on a limited amount this was tough. However, he was very pleasant, & explained the return. Really, can government figure something out for not paying taxes on taxed income? Please that is just rhetorical. read more

Raymond was very helpful. Highly recommended for income taxes or small business registration.

I am a first time customer and highly recommend Raymond, he was very patient with me and walked me through all of the necessary steps and educated me on various small business tax preparation and filings. I will definitely be utilizing his services in the future. read more

These guys not only gave my boyfriend and I financial peace, but they have been so accommodating and lovely. We personally requested Raymond from his amazing reviews. They are also fairly priced and honest, which is a relief when dealing with money matters. Money stuff can be stressful. We are both small business owners. Ray helped us do our taxes, I incorporated at this office, he even helped us with financial advice for getting a future mortgage and helped tie up old out of state taxes for my guy. Ray is also sweet and puts up with our big personalities and stupid jokes. My boyfriend has thanked me many times over from going an insane amount of research on yelp to find these guys. We are so happy we did. Ray is the man! And we love everyone else in the office too. Call them, you won't regret it! read more

We had questions about what type of company to open. Excellent services! We booked the next appointment to continue the process with Armando. read more

I had the pleasure today of having my taxes done by Armando, of Excellent Financial Solutions. He's wonderful to deal with. Very responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. While my taxes are fairly simple, I had some stock purchases from last year to report so I wanted a pro to do them this time around. Due to the current pandemic climate, we worked back and forth with email. Went very smoothly and I'm so thankful that my taxes are done. Thank you so much, Armando. I will see you next year. Steven P. read more

Raymond is a friendly guy and means well, but was terribly delayed with our taxes. It was an overall poor experience. So much so that our taxes were filed late and we had to pay a fine. I see that was the case for some others. We gladly moved our business elsewhere. read more

I highly recommend this company. Raymond was able to give me A LOT of advice regarding my business, corporate taxes and personal taxes. He took his time going through everything and making sure I understood. I will be a lifetime client and will recommend anyone I know. read more

Raymond is great been going here for a long time. Very smart and always willing to advise.

You can stop looking for your tax guy now. You found him. I've known Raymond since back in 2015 and most recently he helped me answer all of my questions regarding the creation of a Corporation by simplifying the tax lingo into simple English. He's available around the clock for his customers and goes above and beyond. His office provides top notch services for a fair price. Give him a call to get a quote and I'm sure you will have piece of mind that an expert is on your side. read more

This place has been the best for me and my family! Three years I have been coming here and I am always so happy with the results! GO SEE ARMANDO read more

This Company has taken care of me for a few years now. They have handled my taxes and have made sure I was good every year. They are polite and very knowledgeable. Book early as they get busy during tax season. read more

Armando is our go to guy! My wife and I do our taxes here and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Even during the year when we have tax questions Armando is there to answer them. If you're looking for accountant and/or tax services definitely consider this place! read more

I've been going to Raymond for two years and he's done an amazing job with our company taxes and bookkeeping set up. I recommend him to all my entrepreneurial friends. I also love that he supports his clients and frequents their businesses! read more

If I could give Raymond and the team at Excellent Financial Solutions over 100 Yelp stars, I would. His professionalism, commitment to accuracy and pro-client mentality are top-notch, and among the BEST in the Los Angeles region. I have been a client of Excellent Financial Solutions for two years. Raymond manages all my personal tax matters and has been a whiz at navigating complicated situations. In addition to my personal tax needs, Raymond also manages all my business needs. From providing guidance regarding business incorporation filling to managing the book-keeping, the service that Excellent Financial Solutions provides goes unrivaled. I have referred Raymond and the Excellent Financial Solutions team to many friends, family and professional contacts. read more

Armando went above and beyond, as usual! He is an absolute MACHINE. I will be a customer for life. Great work! read more

Dear Armando, Thank you for being a beast. Thank you for being patient. Thank you for answering all of our questions. Thank you for being brilliant with tax filings. And thank you for helping us get every penny we could back from the IRS. Sincerely, The most awestruck tax payer ever. read more

The best of the best this is the second year I have been coming here the whole team is just perfect and cool Raymond is always very helpful thank you read more

Raymond is the man . Always figures my tax mess out for me with little to no stress. Truly appreciated

we definitely have communication issue. didnt reply email,didnt return phone call....how can a company even exist like this. extremely frustating experience read more

I'm a new client this year. So I met with Raymond first, before doing my taxes, to see if I liked the place, since it has so many great reviews. Raymond is a very low key, no pressure kind of guy, but also very polite and easy to talk to. He answered all of my questions thoroughly, so I agreed to have him do my taxes. He charged what I felt was a very fair price for both me and my sister's returns, and hers is more complicated since it's a trust. I will definitely be back next year. Mike M. - Pasadena He took lots of t9me explaining the returns read more

I was very pleased working with Excellent Financial Solutions. I had somewhat of a difficult situation filing three state tax returns including New York, New Jersey, and California. Jordan worked with me to figure things out, but when the numbers weren't adding up Raymond was able to help out. They were able to figure it out and get me a net positive instead of an overall loss. Overall I was very happy and intend on filing my taxes with them in the years to come. read more

Armando is the absolute best! He is so kind and will help any way he can, and answers all your questions! I highly recommend him!

i got my taxes done here, and i'm so impressed! i've been going elsewhere for the last years and felt like i wasn't getting back what i deserved, then i find this place and wow i'm beyond happy. Jordan helped me. he was the best!! i was comfortable talking to him about my tax situations, he was informative, professional, and not to mention got me back ALOT more than what i was hoping! i'm so happy i came here and found him. definitely gonna be sticking with him for next year! Thanks Jordan! (: read more

Raymond is our guy. We looked high and low for someone to trust with our taxes for both my husband and I's business'. It's my second year filing with him and my husbands first and we are very happy. We worked with him not only doing our taxes but he's taught us how to use quick books. So grateful for that! read more

These dudes are AMAZING. Saved me so much $$$ and super helpful with my situation. I will never go anywhere else. I had to work on a 1099 and a W-2, started on TurboTax and stopped in my tracks once I realized I had no idea what I was doing and was heading toward owing over $1,700. Raymond helped me with my deductions and credits... he was also a total gentleman and came downstairs to get me when I couldn't find the location as I'm not from Pasadena. The pleasant service and professional work speaks for itself. Highly recommend! read more

I went to see Raymond at EFS about 2-3 years ago to get my credit repaired as my relationship was approaching the next level and I didn't want to go into a marriage without my finances in order. I had a student loan that I ignored for yrs and credit cards in delinquency. He counseled me and gave me step by step instructions on what to do and also did what he could on his end to clean up my credit and get me ready for "grown up" financial decision making. Within 1 yr my score skyrocketed and I began receiving credit approvals left and right. And all this was accomplished without breaking the bank! I recommend Excellent Financial Solutions... Thanks again Raymond! :-) read more

They do a great job. Quick, friendly, ethical and ongoing assistance with taxes after filed if needed.

They have been handling my financial service needs for years and are such an ease to work with. Fast, knowledgeable, affordable, organized, and they care about their clients. Responsive to calls and emails and it's always easy to see someone in person if I want. Each year I only become more impressed and satisfied with the services here, and can't imagine ever taking my business elsewhere. Truly Excellent. read more

This review is long overdue! This is the second year Raymond has prepared our taxes, and on both occasions he has done an amazing job. In addition to being very reasonable with pricing, the service he provides is well above average. Last year I did a lot of research and made a lot of calls to find a good tax preparer because we needed something specific and I wanted to make sure we had someone who (1) knew how to do it, and (2) would actually do it right. The majority of the tax professionals I spoke with fell short of convincing me that we were going to be in good hands. Sadly, my research revealed these folks (I suppose you could call them the "run-of-the-mill" tax preparers) reflect the majority (my estimate is 80%) of what's out there (I called about 20 professionals). On our first contact, Raymond's knowledge and expertise stood out pretty quickly and noticeably (he's a very professional, sharp, and honest financial expert who knows what he is doing), so I felt confident he would be able to provide us with what we needed. It was the best decision we made because he's done a terrific job twice and we plan to use his services for all of our financial advisory needs in the years to come. read more

Coming to Armando and the team at Excellent Financial Solutions has been one of the best decisions I made. Maybe more important than your doctor or dentist, your Tax accountant needs to be excellent and Armando is excellent. He helped me get my taxes in order and I felt so good about it that I brought my mom over who he was so kind in helping. Armando is family now and we are thankful. read more
