I've used other tax professionals and I've also done my own taxes. I have always felt that I was either leaving money on the table and overpaying the FTB/IRS or I felt that I was doing something wrong and would be getting a letter telling me that I still owe money and late fees. I never feel that way when I'm done with my taxes here. I know they are done, done right, and documented well. Doing taxes is right up there with going to the dentist for a root canal but I actually look forward to talking with Mike and his super friendly staff at tax time. Thanks Beach Cities!

I mentioned that my partner and I are not legally married, to which he said, "Ahhh, living in sin, eh?" I got up and left. I have never been treated so disrespectfully by a supposed professional in my life. I'm not sure how he stays in business treating prospective clients in such a manner. And for those who may care, I'm attaching a pic of his Trump-loving filing cabinet that I noticed on my way out.

On October 20th 2025, I met with Chuck at his office to get my 2024 taxes done. I was immediately…read moreput off by the religious iconography but my taxes were late and I just wanted them done properly by a professional. I got the impression that Chuck was very experienced, and when he asked if there was a good reason for my taxes being late, I said "No." I made a point to respect his time and not make excuses, and I never time-pressured him even though each passing day meant more fees for me. The next day, he sent a Docusign then voided it and called me. We came up with final numbers, talked about a payment plan, then ended the call. Chuck then emailed me, "The fac that you are under 59 1/2 and there is not early withdrawal exception you have to pay both the income taxes and penalty on Roth account." This was really weird to me, because in addition to the first chat we had JUST talked about it as part of the numbers he gave me, his email seemed to imply this was a new realization to him. I replied after checking the new Docusign, "Chuck, is that why the federal is higher than we talked about on the phone? The state didn't change much but am I getting it right that it's +$8k in taxes for federal than we talked about?" He said, "yes" (which I took as a lie) and after considering firing him and using TurboTax, I decided to proceed because he's a licensed professional and it seemed like a rational risk. Well, I got followups from the IRS and state, tried to followup with Chuck, but he was rude and unprofessional. He ended up yelling at me on the phone after calling me the wrong name, and then hung up on me when I tried to explain things. I regret working with Chuck, I would have been better off with TurboTax.

I had been using a "basic" cpa for many years who only charged a few hundred bucks for my tax…read morereturns. As my income has increased the past couple years, I decided to use a better CPA who can provide me with the proper advice to save on taxes. In early 2022, John filed my 2021 tax return. Basically, his office staff plug in the numbers in the computer off of the docs you provide. Then John and you will have a zoom meeting to go over the numbers to make sure they're all correct. During the meeting, I asked John what I can do to save on taxes. He said "the more taxes I pay the better, that means I am making more money." He also said that I could buy a business and if the business has a loss then I can deduct taxes. I thought to myself why would I go through the trouble to buy a business and lose money. At least that was my understanding of it. The tax filing fee was about $2000 which was fine. Now fast forward to 2023, after looking into more advanced tax strategies and paying another high level CPA $10,000 one year consultation fee ( not including filing) I realized that John failed to mention or explain to me how to take advantage of cost segregation and bonus depreciation to save me tons of money. I don't want to explain how to do it to you. But because of John, I lost $100K of tax savings and $200k opportunity cost. Now I am doing it this year, but we are in a much worse overall investment environment. We cannot get that opportunity back. Disclosure: there was nothing John could've done my 2021 tax return because it was 2022 when I met him. But if he gave me proper advice during the meeting, I could have done certain things in 2022 to save hundreds of thousands on taxes. Now I just need to find a corner to cry. John is not a bad CPA. By all means, you should try him. But I didn't like his mentality that the more taxes I pay the better. The wealthiest Americans pay 0 taxes. I pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. My conclusion is that John might be an amazing tax filer. But I need tax planning. And I don't feel that he specializes in real estate , I do real estate. Now I am with a CPA specialized in real estate. My advice is pay someone 10k or 20k tax advisory fee, you have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars. P.S.: , My rich friend who sold real estate this year has a $1 million dollar tax liability. Thank God he talked to me and I referred him to the proper people. He's going to save $1 million this year. Just to tell you, if you have a large tax burden, please find someone for tax planning not to just tax filing.
