They are ALWAYS happy to help and they have taken care of my business and personal taxes better than anyone else I have ever used in my life.

They are professional and friendly and I recommend them to anyone looking for a good accounting firm that knows what they are doing without putting you or your business at risk.

Norm Lewis is such a lucky find. I used him originally for a trick tax issue and was so pleased, I…read morehave continued to have him do my taxes for the last several years. He is honest, accessible, experienced and found legitimate ways for me to save on my taxes that my previous account never mentioned. He now is serving as the accountant for an organization in which I'm involved as well as for several friends and family members. He not only does routine tax work, but also does back taxes and Offer and Compromise situations in case you owe back taxes. And the cherry on top is that his fees are very, very fair. He goes the extra mile which is very refreshing in this day and age. I recommend him without reservation.

Adam's team is pretty amazing…read more I have a relatively nice sized business, not big not small, about $3mm. But I had the tax problems of a $10mm business. A lot of money was at stake. Very complex tax situation. My previous tax accountant actually made matters worse. As majority shareholder, I'll admit, I was stressing. I shouldn't have. Adam and his team had it under control. I don't know exactly he did it, but he was able to reduce my tax liability by a factor of 10. Totally decimated what I owed. And not only that, he negotiated really favorable payment terms! I was very grateful. Very impressed. So much so, I've started outsourcing some of my bookkeeping and accounting to them. It just makes sense.

Every question I had (regardless of what time of day it was asked) was answered quickly and clearly, which made what is usually a stressful process feel effortless. Hanane's attention to detail and deep tax knowledge gave me great confidence that my return was done correctly -- and on time (filed by mid-feburary!). I was so impressed that I even recommended her to my brother, and he's been just as happy with her service!

This year, I shopped around for a CPA locally and couldn't find the right fit (one business tried to upsell me into something I shouldn't be doing). Jean helped guide me through the whole process and was able to answer all of my questions, from the most basic to the convoluted. We were even able to amend a previous tax year, which I did not know was possible. I definitely would recommend Jean, especially if you're a business and homeowner. Her credentials are impressive. You definitely want a former IRS tax agent in your corner before April.

She takes the time to explain how taxes work, and what benefits you and doesn't benefit you. Jean is extremely knowledgeable about s-corps and accounting. She's also really good about getting back to you in a timely manner! :) She has a lovely and sweet personality, which makes doing taxes much less painful. My experience with her thus far has been great. Yes, her prices are steeper compared to CPA's in the San Gabriel area, but is she definitely worth it. Pay more for a quality CPA, and you will understand your taxes better. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Tip: Street parking is better. The parking in the back is shared amongst the other businesses, and you don't want to risk your car getting towed.

Needless to say, I was livid!! I found Kennelly and Associates on the internet and had my husband make an appointment. Bo was like a cool, calm drink of water on the hottest day of the year. He calmed us down, told us what needed to be done and set all the wheels in motion to correct years of incorrect filings by our previously mentioned whack-job of an account. He also gave us suggestions and pointed out many things our ex-accountant had neglected to tell us. This happened a few years ago and we've been returning to Kennelly and Associates ever since.

Working with Sam has been an absolute game-changer for me. While I've only used S&S for the past…read moretwo tax seasons, I can confidently say that I'll be sticking with him for my future returns. I started considering getting a tax accountant the year I began a new side gig which I knew would add some complexity to my tax situation. I was still leaning towards just using one of the free tax software options out there since it wasn't any crazy amount of extra money and plus, they were free. But I decided to get a few consultations set up and after a few unimpressive calls with other offices, I ended up talking to Sam. Since then, Sam's always been refreshingly straightforward in his services. He doesn't waste time, but zeroes in on what matters most--maximizing my returns and minimizing my stress. Plus, I've never had to waste time going in-person and taking care of physical forms since his office keeps everything digital and makes my job as easy as uploading my documents. Despite my initial hesitation over the cost of a professional vs free software, Sam's expertise has proven invaluable. He's done an incredible job with saving me money and the peace of mind that comes from knowing my taxes are in capable hands is priceless.
