Sam (CPA who prepared my return) and Stan (office manager) did a fantastic job handling my and my…read moreparent's taxes this year, which were both more complex than usual. Communication was excellent ... quick, clear, and at just the right level. Most of my questions were answered quickly through their portal or via a quick call. Their portal is easy to use & efficient. I liked that I could actually see how each document was used, with markers showing exactly where numbers were pulled from in the PDFs. Their fee was reasonable, and I believe I more than made that back through their expertise. They caught items that my previous tax preparer missed, which made a real difference. If your taxes involve more than just basic W-2s or 1099s, I highly recommend working with a knowledgeable CPA like Sam. She and Stan are both great to work with. ------------ NOTE: This review is entirely my own and written solely at my own initiative.

used Irene for my taxes two years in a row. While the returns were passable, her communication and…read moreprofessionalism were absolutely not. This year, she simply stopped responding altogether. no replies to multiple follow-ups, no updates, nothing. My brother had already stopped working with her the year before due to the same issues: chronic delays, lack of urgency, and total disregard for deadlines. If you enjoy being ignored after turning in all your documents on time, getting ghosted after multiple emails, and scrambling to file extensions because your tax preparer vanished. then by all means, work with Irene. Personally, I'm done. Completely unprofessional and unreliable. Good riddance.

I don't know why other people seem to be enjoying Tehrani and Velez, but I can only relate my…read moreexperiences: 1) I was never given a handoff from Gabe to the accountant working on my taxes, so I had no idea who to contact. 2) The new tax guy didn't tell me he filed an extension on my taxes. 3) The new guy was quite late in finishing my taxes. 4) Gabe himself was out of town the moment tax season ended, and was impossible to contact. 5) I was given poor communication throughout, and literally had to ask for someone to say the words "we're sorry" to me (they had no intention of apologizing on their own for poor service, communication, and organization). 6) Then I received daily auto messages to please review their services (okay! Here I am! Everyone happy?) 7) Then I told them I had a new accountant, and they sent me an offboarding checklist that literally includes the line: "Future Support: Take Note of Whom to Contact If Assistance is Needed: [CRS Accountant Name] [Insert Email Address Here]." In other words, I have no idea to to contact or how to reach them. ...This is completely in line with the communication I received throughout my time there, and a perfect capstone to my experience. I think they are probably competent at being accountants, but they fall short as genuine, communicative, actual human beings. Unfortunately. I am much happier with my new accountant. I do not recommend Tehrani and Velez.
