I had received a notice from my HR department at my job that my check was going to be garnished and…read morethey gave me a phone number telling me that I had a tax issue. I called the number and it was the IRS revenue division. They informed me that I owed over $18,000 for back taxes from 2010 and 2011. I was in such a terrible position and couldn't afford that financial burden. The IRS had taken half my check and I was told that it was going to continue for 4 years. A friend of my referred me to Mark Kelly at Certified Tax Advisors in Emeryville, CA. I made an appointment to meet with him and came into the office shortly after. He explained to me my situation in a way I could comprehend and he came up with solutions to help me. The very next day, much to my relief, my HR department had told me that my wages would no longer be garnished. I know that this is the just the first step to making this nightmare go away, but I am very happy that I found Mark Kelly at Certified Tax Advisors to help me.

Exceptional! I…read morereached out to Kenny about multiple insurance products - long term care, term life, whole life. Let me step back and say this first - My family has a long history of buying all sorts of insurance over the last 30 years. In that time, we have met many people in the insurance industry across various roles. With that context in mind let me say this. Kenny is amongst the most thorough, knowledgeable, and helpful people I have ever met. He is not trying to just "sell you something." Instead he works hard to understand why it is that you think you need the insurance you have asked him about, he uses his intellect and creativity to suggest other options if they are appropriate (his feedback many times proved better than my own initial assumptions and work), and wants above all to help you. He is responsive, razor sharp, and high integrity. I started this review with the word "exceptional" - well, there is "exceptional" and then there is "truly exceptional" and then there is "rarely seen level of exceptionalism" - and for me, Kenny is just that.

Kathryn listened to our wants, clarified our goals and guided us through the process. She clearly requested the information necessary to complete the task and when received, she analyzed it in a timely and efficient manner. Kathryn is an outstanding oral and written communicator, always explaining things in an easily digestible way. She has a unique ability to evaluate a complex set of circumstances and provide practical advice with a variety of options for consideration, some of which expanded our limited thinking. Kathryn was open to all of our questions and concerns and is very well-informed on all aspects of financial planning. Her many years as a transactional attorney adds to her wealth of knowledge, and, as a fiduciary, gave us great comfort that she had our best interest in mind at every stage. We feel we received excellent value, and we will certainly use her services in the future.

I run my own business and he set me up to create and distribute invoices, collections, and everything that it takes to get my billing done. I mean it was a revelation for me to get everything in order and know where it's all going - and More Importantly - where it's coming in from!! Right. They did my taxes and saved me a bunch of money - and listen, I have an undergrad in accounting with a concentration in taxes (4.0 in this area) but I gotta admit - it is / it was and always will be CONFUSING! (Confucius say use Axis to save yourself aches and pains). Okay, maybe too corny. A HUGE Blessing to have these guys really take the time - be extremely patient (I wouldn't be that patient) and take me through the steps of doing my own day to day accounting. At first they did it for me - and then they weaned me out of it by helping me through the steps numerous times. I wanted to do it after a few years when my business became easier. Point is - Contact Axis with Keith - you will Love this guy. He's too easy to deal with and he has a personality. Some accountants you don't know what they're thinking like it's some kind of mystery. Not so with these guys - straight up, reliable, and get the job done by knowing all the angles. INTEGRITY

And then, the stars aligned. I had previously worked with Keith and Alissa in my past life. They were highly regarded throughout the company and were known to get it done. Keith randomly reached out to me asking if I needed help with my books. I jumped out of my chair and said I needed him 6 months ago!! I would hire him as my CFO if I could afford him (I still plan on doing so when I can ;)). I now actually have books that are properly categorized and inventory that is actually booked properly! It's freaking amazing. I can not recommend this firm more to people that are in need of accounting/bookkeeping services!

The quality of the consultation was average: I received answers to basic questions, but for more specific issues I had to follow up several times. Deadlines were met, but the response time to messages was sometimes slow. The cost of services felt a bit high compared to the level of support provided. In the end, I would describe the experience as just "okay," but not excellent. The company could improve by providing faster communication and clearer explanations of the details.

I feel very lucky to have found them. My tax preparer there was Ana Cardona. I was very impressed with the process they have there and especially Ana. She was very precise as well very knowledgeable about tax preparation. I learned things about my tax return that I had never known before. She answered all of my questions as well as going over my finished tax return with much detail. I brought all of the paperwork needed and we went over our tax return, line by line. What was also very impressive, after she entered my information into their tax program, we were able to complete the process right there and was told that our return would be submitted electronically that day. As our yearly tax refund is an important part of our yearly budgeting, to do this process so quickly was very unexpected and helpful. I would feel good about recommending MM Tax Preparers and, especially, Ana.
