I hired Winter Pine last minute for taxes after having felt my last accountant seemed to just go…read morethru the motions. I had the opposite experience with Murad.

We been working with our Accountant, Ara, for the past few years, and I can confidently say it's…read morebeen one of the best professional relationships I've had. Ara is not just an accountant--he's a true advisor. He helped us set up our LLC properly through the California Secretary of State, guided us through estimated tax payments, and introduced us to tax strategies we didn't even know were available. What really stands out is his proactive approach. He doesn't just prepare returns--he thinks ahead, plans strategically, and makes sure you understand what's going on every step of the way. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed, I highly recommend Ara and his company.

I reached out to Edit, who I believe is the receptionist who answered my call, seeking bookkeeping…read moresupport for my business. I spent approximately an hour on the phone explaining my business, operations, and the level of bookkeeping assistance I needed. Dee assured me that they could support my business and mentioned she had been doing this for a long time, which gave me confidence to move forward. On June 25, she requested my bank statements, profit statements, and a detailed explanation of my business. I spent another hour gathering the requested documents and walking her through everything in detail after spending her an email. She told me she would review the information and get back to me with a quote. After not hearing back, I followed up by email on June 26 and received no response. A few days later, I called and left a voicemail requesting an update again, no response. I called once more on June 30 and still did not receive a response. I'm disappointed that I invested so much time explaining my business and sharing sensitive financial information, only to be completely ignored afterward. Even if they decided they weren't the right fit, a simple courtesy response would have been the professional thing to do. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this firm. The lack of communication and professionalism resulted in a significant waste of my time.
