    The absolute worst tax experience I have ever had. Very poor and slow communication skills.

    This year his prodigy son Patrick did my taxes and I was equally impressed - as I was with the whole Brand staff.

    From start to finish, my experience with Honest Tax Solutions was nothing short of outstanding…read more What immediately stood out to me was their transparency--there were no hidden fees, no confusing explanations, and absolutely no pressure. Everything was explained clearly, patiently, and in a way that made me feel confident and informed the entire time. Taxes can be stressful, but the team at Honest Tax Solutions made the whole process feel smooth, organized, and surprisingly stress-free. They took the time to really understand my situation, answered every question I had (no matter how small), and made sure I felt comfortable with every step before moving forward. What I appreciated most was how genuine and human they are. You don't feel like just another client or number--they truly care about helping you get the best outcome possible while staying fully compliant. Their professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail are incredible, and it's clear they take pride in doing things the right way. Because of the trust they've built, I will continue having Honest Tax Solutions handle my company taxes every single year. This is the kind of business you trust long-term and confidently recommend to friends, family, and colleagues. Thank you, Honest Tax Solutions, for such an incredible experience!

I saw a few other people mention how much relief they felt after coming here, and I completely get it now. They don't just crunch numbers; they actually sit down, listen to what you've got going on, and figure out the best path forward without making you feel stupid for asking questions. If you've been putting off dealing with your tax stuff because it gives you anxiety, just go here. The peace of mind is worth every penny.

    As a real estate investor and business owner, my tax situation involves multiple…read morelayers--transactions, entity structure, and long-term planning decisions. Before working together, I didn't realize how much opportunity there was to optimize everything strategically. Olga took a comprehensive approach, advising on mergers and acquisitions, structuring entities correctly, and guiding several real estate transactions, including cost segregation strategies. She also helped plan around retirement through Roth conversions and coordinated everything into one cohesive tax strategy. The impact has been significant--well into six-figure tax savings--while also creating a clear structure for future investments and business growth. This goes far beyond tax preparation; it's true advisory and long-term planning. If you're an investor or business owner dealing with complex decisions and want a CPA who thinks strategically and proactively, I highly recommend working with Olga.

Before working together, I was mostly reacting at tax time and missing planning opportunities. Olga approached everything strategically--looked at my salary, equity compensation, and business income together, helped optimize entity structure, and implemented proactive tax planning for the year ahead. The biggest difference is that this isn't just tax filing. It's ongoing advisory. We identified deductions and strategies I didn't know existed, reduced my overall tax liability significantly, and created a clear long-term plan. The advisory more than paid for itself. If you're a high-income professional who also owns a business and wants real tax strategy instead of just compliance, this is the kind of CPA support you need.

    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.
