Her understanding and judgement of taxes provided a positive leaning towards a relationship where you can have the utmost trust towards her. This was my very first time filing my taxes and I believed she guided me in way where she wanted to make sure I understood what was happening. It felt as though I was taking a course in accounting; I didn't feel like I was a "simple client with a simple solution." What's very interesting with Virtual Ventures is that they have a dropbox-like algorithm system, where once the taxes are done, you can access a PDF version of your taxes.

Highly recommend their services. They helped during an IRS audit where the IRS tried to deny me…read morehundreds of thousands of dollars in my carryover losses from prior years. Their team worked directly with the revenue agent, provided strong documentation, and showed the returns were prepared correctly. They were able to get the IRS to accept my carryforward losses, and Badran Tax successfully challenged the proposed changes after their detailed review which saved me thousands in penalties and interest that were not supposed to be assessed to me. They were very responsive in their portal, accurate, and professional. 100% highly recommend them for any IRS representation.

I'm not someone who tends to exaggerate, but working with Badran Tax was one of the worst decisions…read moreI've ever made. They charged $2500 up front but never did respond when I asked what that money would cover. After waiting a week with no answer, since I was in a hurry to resolve my tax problem, I just paid it. I wish I hadn't. Over more than a year, they took weeks to respond to messages, and getting them to actually do any work was like pulling teeth. I had lost my records when my business closed down, so I needed them to reconstruct my financial picture from that year (the main reason I had a tax issue and something another accountant had told me could be done). Instead they simply asked me to estimate the numbers, which they used to fill out the tax forms and make the calculations. Big whoop. If I could do that myself, what was I paying them for? It certainly wasn't worth $2500, the hundreds I had to pay to give them power of attorney, or the $700 more they demanded to actually file the past-due returns. They wanted even more to dissolve the business, file another return, etc., but I stopped it there. When I had questions, I couldn't get answers. They would just not respond. And when I called to speak to Mr. Badran directly, I was polite but couldn't get a full sentence out. He would interrupt every time I tried to speak, but he never actually said anything. He didn't explain what they were doing or why, just rambled about nothing. In the end, I paid over $3000 just to file two old returns, and it took me more than a year and a ridiculous amount of mental anguish and frustration. I've really held back on how angry I am here. Please don't waste your time and money.

Professional, knowledgeable and friendly, a good combination. They immediately went to work on my Federal and State tax returns. They emailed documents for signature which I scanned and emailed back. They then emailed documents for review and any corrections needed. I appreciated being able to do some of the business with them online &/or on the phone. Very accessible, whether via text or phone calls. Fees were appropriate and reasonable. Overall, I was very pleased with their work and will use them going forward.
