Pete was friendly and answered all my questions through email/phone. I like that I was able to submit all my documents securely through their site. It didn't take him long to process my 2024 income tax that was filed jointly with a dependent. Sadly I broke even, but at least I know it was done by a professional. His fee was $300 which was way more than I expected. I plan to look elsewhere to see who else would be cheaper since I would pay before around $120.

He's friendly, easy to talk to and makes the accounting process simple to understand. The backbone of a good business are good people to work with.

Just wanted to leave…read morean updated review of how nice it is to know that all of my monthly business transactions are handled and recorded properly. Such a relief, one less thing to stress about. I've found Nicole to be accurate, efficient, and knowledgeable about debits and credits, the chart of accounts, accounts payable procedures, sales and accounts receivable, and even payroll! In addition to competence, she's a funny, kind, grounded soul. If you're looking for help with your home business or just your personal finances, then definitely check her out:)

Thanks to Nicole, I can concentrate on the important aspects of my actual business instead of…read morestressing out all the time about keeping my records updated and organized. I also know exactly what each week's costs and surpluses are because she keeps me informed and on track. It's the best decision I've ever made, hiring a competent, friendly bookkeeper. The best thing about Nicole is that I can actually reach her if I have a question...something that was nearly impossible with my last bookkeeper. If you need help getting organized, and want to be able to focus on your customers and core business objectives, you should definitely reach out to Nicole :)

I was told in a very rushed manner to call back after the April tax filing deadline after I had initially made contact with a female representative here. I even explained what I needed assistance with. Well, I called back after that time hoping to secure an appointment for the same reason, and then I was told by the same female subject that no assistance would be provided to me. I was instead advised to consult with a tax attorney. At the last minute, I ended up calling a 75+ year-old tax prep who used to do my family's taxes in EAST LOS ANGELES decades ago (who still sees clients in his home), and he knew exactly which form I was referring to. The gentleman literally walked me through the F.T.B. form in less than 10 minutes. He even invited me to send SMS pictures so he could review my work... at no cost. What a glaring difference.

Theresa MIA on my tax. When I first met her, Theresa was super sweet and shared all her knowledge…read more She gave me a best plan for my complicated tax filing process. Until she was supposed to do my 2021 taxes, she asked me if she could asked for extension on filing. Until this past October, she did not file my tax on time. I ended up having to use another CPA and paid late fees to the IRS. I left at least 3-4 voicemails and 5 follow up emails. She never called me back or replied to my email to let me know what was going on. It shows a lot that she has 0 care for her clients. It would be nice to at least email me that she couldn't do my tax. But she was just gone and missing in action. Plus I just got a letter from IRS penalties of $1680. Be careful with this service

We then contacted Gloria @ Empire Taxes. Let's just say taking the time to find someone paid off immensely.

We are very pleased we went with Empire and we now have another tax service we can depend on for years to come. Thanks Gloria!!

She took her fee, and then started asking me for money to pay the state of California for taxes etc. to finalize closing the company. Despite paying her, I started getting letters from the state saying I still owed money to EDD, and then late notices and then collection notices. When I would ask her about these letters, she would say there was someone at the state she "was talking to" and that it was being handled. She also asked me for $200 more than her initial fee for the work she was doing. I kept getting notices from the State and then she went radio silent on me and I couldn't get any response whatsoever from her on the status of my file. I finally called EDD and was told she had never made any payments on my behalf. Now I am in the process of filing a small claims case to recoup my money from her. Do not do any business with this fraudulent individual. UPDATE: I had to file a small claims case against Gloria Short to recoup the money she took from me and now she is dodging the process server.
