    I'm a small to medium size business owner that I started with my wife about 4 years ago. I was…read morelucky enough to find Michelle on yelp almost 4 years ago and she has been helping us ever since. What I love most about Michelle is that she is always professional and on time. She responds back through email and phone any time I have any questions or concerns even over weekends. If you are looking for a smart, responsible and professional book keeper then look no further. I highly recommend Michelle. She is also a great human being with a great smile :) You just cannot go wrong. You will also recommend her to all your business friends :)

    I've been working with Michelle for almost a year now, and she is absolutely fantastic! She…read morecompletes bookkeeping for my two businesses, each in very different fields (marketing consulting and Reiki). She is quick and efficient, and doesn't hesitate to remind me when it's time for me to send in my statements (if I forget, which I often do)! As a busy business owner, keeping track of my books was something I always fell behind on, and often dreaded. With Michelle's amazing help and quality work, thinking about my bookkeeping is now as close to a pleasurable experience as it could be! :) I also just filed my 2015 income taxes with my CPA, and it was a breeze! She'd accurately and appropriately coded everything, saving me dozens of hours compared to prior years. Michelle is beyond worth the investment - if you're looking for a competent, quick, smart and personable bookkeeper, look no further! Michelle is your woman!

    I've been a client of David's for the past 7 years (since I moved to North County). Originally, his…read moreoffice was located in Carlsbad but he later relocated to Poway and I still make the trek out to see him from Oceanside. Why? He's the most knowledgeable tax accountant I've worked with. He sincerely does try to get me the best refund possible... and every year, he doesn't fail to impress me. Not only do I see more return value than with any other tax preparer but I learn about how the changing laws affect me, write-offs I missed, and future tax saving ideas. Having a former federal auditor prepare your taxes is honestly the best way to go. David started filing my taxes as an individual and now files for both hubby and I. I honestly haven't been able to find anyone with the same qualifications and experience as David. As a disclaimer, I will say, David's skills are in high demand and keeps him very busy. I usually schedule my tax prep as soon as I get my W-2s and have all my paperwork sent to him well in advance. I realize some people wish to have their taxes/tax experience expedited but patience must be appreciated for quality service. If you're a new prospective client, my recommendation would be to email/contact a few tax preparers (rather than wait on one) since he has a high clientele or, if able, either contact David before tax season starts to get started. Finding a good tax preparer can be frustrating, but I believe investing time in someone you trust is worthwhile. Best of luck to everyone and may you get the maximum refund possible!

    If there was an option to give this unethical company zero stars, I would have done so - it was…read morethat bad of experience. I have never experienced anything so terrible before. It was the worst $500 ever spent. David will take weeks to get back to you, if he ever does at all. Saying this experience was disappointing is a vast understatement. We selected Rundlett last year around this time because we had purchased a home in 2015 and need some extra help with our taxes. Rundlett had a 4 or 5-star rating at the time, and great reviews, so we went with them. We should have gotten the hint when they took a week to respond to our first email, and we had to contact them multiple times to get a response, but we thought it was tax season, so we'd give them a break. Eventually, they gave us a list of items to bring into the office and we had an appointment with David & Matthew, one of David's associates. After that they told us that he would call us in a two weeks to set up another appointment to review the outcome. Two weeks came and went - no call, no email, no communications whatsoever. We had to call and email again, multiple times to get David and Matthew to finally respond. We finally got an appointment with them one week before taxes were due, and we went over our options. When we met with them, they highly recommended that we file an extension because they want to try to save us more money. We owed a lot on our taxes, so we decided it was the best thing to do. When we agreed to the extension, we thought that meant a few extra weeks - so May instead of April. However weeks went by without any communication from them - no status of our taxes, no email telling us an expected date, nothing. We had never been through this process before, as we told them, and the lack of communication was astounding. I called, emailed and texted for weeks until I finally got an answer. And the answer was that we had until October, so "don't worry, there is no rush". We did not want to wait until October just because we had until October, we just wanted to get them submitted and move on -- so I had to convince them to finish my taxes. By the time all of this back and forth happened, it was mid-June until we could submit these and finally be done with this completely unprofessional company. Unfortunately, it didn't end there. In August, we got a statement from the IRS that we still owed money from our taxes and that we had a penalty on our account because we filed our taxes late and had never filed an extension. How is that possible? ... Well, other than the fact that David is completely incompetent and shouldn't touch anyone's taxes, he also claimed to file our extension, but couldn't seem to find our paperwork or proof that the extension was ever filed. I had multiple emails asking him to send a copy of the extension paperwork and a mail receipt for my records, and never did produce the documents. His assistant mailed me a copy of a receipt a month before we even met with them to stop me from bothering them, but I called them out on it and never did get anything for my records. On top of that, David failed to tell us that when you file for an extension, the money you owe accrues interest and you have to calculate that and pay that to the IRS when you pay for your taxes. It was a minimal amount (under $50), but for us it was the point. Again, he is the expert and failed to tell us this important detail. I called, emailed, texted them multiple times again and it took over two weeks, until the day before the payment was due, to get a response. I had to tell one of their associates that it was an emergency to get a call back. David and Matthew finally got back to me and said they were calling the IRS to ensure we didn't have a penalty on our account and promised that wasn't the case and there was a mistake. A week later, I had heard not a peep from them. Again, I called, text, emailed and tried to get in touch with no response. I had to call the IRS myself and wait on the line more than one hour to talk to someone to find out that there was a penalty on our account, but because I called and explained what happened, they removed it and confirmed they had accepted the payment. If you are looking for a professional company to complete your taxes in a timely manner, and communicate with you as any normal business would do, then you've come to the wrong place. You will do yourself a disservice by using them. Stay away, stay far away.

    I was faced with a very tough tax situation. I previously contacted a company named Tax Defenders…read more They charged me 6600 dollars and did nothing to assist in resolving the issue. When I asked about an Offer in Compromise the person said "the IRS won't even entertain the idea ". So I contacted Ruth. She was like hold my beer. It took some time she was on top of the situation from day one. I'm happy to say she saved me about 55,000.00. So if you have a tax situation and need assistance I encourage you to reach out to Ruth. She cares about the outcome, but cares more about the client. So refreshing in today's corporate environment. THANK YOU RUTH!!!!
