    Genus use to make pretty good CVD tools. Good service too. I liked the Lynx3 and Stratagem. But the new owners have let the place slide.

    I did not have any experience with doing taxes for the quarterly deadline, but Yan was very helpful…read moreand answered a lot of my questions, helping me through all the steps of the way. If you need help, make sure it isn't right before the deadlines, giving time to prepare what is needed. Will definitely be going back to Yan even if it isn't about the end of year tax deadline. Thank you so much Yan!

    I had a bunch of issues with my previous CPA that I had engaged which that left me with little…read moreconfidence and time that I would get my tax situation sorted out in time for the year. Since I had only been using TurboTax before, I didn't have much experience in working with professional tax advisors and I contacted Yan after reading some reviews on Google/Yelp. The experience of using her for my CPA was completely different compared to the previous one I had. She was very detailed and meticulous in checking each detail of my situation, and also didn't pretend to know everything - if there was an issue that she wasn't clear about, she didn't hesitate to look up the necessary IRS documentation to make sure that we weren't making any mistakes. Even after our meetings in-person going over documents, she would also follow-up and double-check to make sure that I hadn't inadvertently overlooked something (and she did find a bunch of details that I had filled in incorrectly as well through this process!) She was also more interested in making sure that I understood the process and what each document was for, rather than just taking everything into her own hands and just asking me to "rubber-stamp" documents. I really appreciate her spending the effort to help with my tax literacy. Would definitely recommend Yan if you're looking for a reliable CPA who looks out for your interests, rather than just treating you as yet another client!

    It was a very challenging season because of all the new tax stuff here and there. I was very…read moreanxious, but the team really helped my family and me with all our tax concerns. The service is just top-notch - I appreciate how they were able to answer all our concerns easily. Totally, getting them again in the next season because they give value to our time and resources.

    6 month follow-up update…read more. I know you may have been waiting with bated breath, so I'll try my best to keep this short. After 20+ additional emails (between both parties), we were finally able to receive our federal and state abatements from 2024. While this is good news and we are pleased with the outcome, it does not negate the unpleasant experience. After the last review, they took note and designated someone to call the IRS on our behalf, instead of repeatedly sending papers in the mail that the IRS would never receive. After receiving the federal abatement, we then had to ask them to help with the state abatement. In case you aren't aware (since I was initially not educated on this matter), you are allowed a 1-time federal and state abatement. Meaning, if you are in good standing, they will erase your fines, but not the interest. Some additional notes: 1. They are a global team, as their new name implies (Unified Global). This means that your team may be located in various time zones and countries. 2. Their software is straightforward and simple to follow, which I did appreciate. 3. Their timelines for filing, in my opinion, do not include a sufficient buffer if you have additional questions and/or corrections. We were asked several times to remove the last review, and after some thought, I have chosen to amend it. Similar to prior Yelpers, I believe that it they have improved their services, my initial review will just be background noise as the one off.

Before I was officially a client, she answered all of my questions and she walked me what the process of payroll entails. I really appreciated this fact because I was overwhelmed with the process of hiring private caregivers (something my I really figuring out as I went along). I have now officially been her client for approximately 6 weeks (three pay periods). The process has been easy and effortless. I still have many questions as I'm navigating this process but she has been graciously repeating information, running numbers for comparisons, and providing me with different financial scenarios which allows me to make the best financial decisions. My wife and I work full time, we have 2 kids and The added responsibility of being an employer had not been part of the plan and added quite a bit of stress. Having Laural and her team on my side has taken the stress of payroll off my plate has been a huge relief. Thank you Laural!

    I had a really good experience with Sanjay Tax Pro, especially working with Daniel. Last year my…read moretaxes were a bit complicated because I was dealing with some medical issues and had trouble filing on time. They were patient, understanding, and never once made me feel judged about the situation. Daniel was especially helpful throughout the process. He was very responsive, took calls when needed, explained things more than once without any frustration, and made sure I understood what was going on. That meant a lot because there was a lot to work through. Sanjay and the rest of the team were also professional, kind, and easy to talk to. They helped with my returns, reviewed abatement letters, and overall made a stressful process feel manageable. They also gave me a very fair discount, which I appreciated. What stood out most was that they were not just efficient, they were genuinely empathetic. That is rare. I would definitely recommend them.

It's very convenient--you can stay at home and upload your documents at your convenience. Once submitted, they take care of the rest and let you know when everything is ready for review. Sometimes you may need to follow up once or twice, but overall they do a good job. Forgot to mention, they charge their fee in advance and do not begin work until the payment is made. This might create a slightly negative first impression, but in my experience, they do a good job.
