She has done a fantastic job with that. I don't feel stupid asking her questions and she explains things to me in a way that make sense (I hate and am horrible with numbers). She is super knowledgeable, savvy and gets Sh** done. She has already saved me thousands. They do it the right way. Don't waste money on "cheap" accounting services like I did in the past. Get it done right the first time!!! Her assistant even texts me to update me / ask me questions about my QuickBooks which I appreciate as my time is very limited. I love that I can drop things off and not think about them again as I know that they will be fully taken care of. The staff also responds to me in a timely manner when I reach out. I am so appreciative and grateful for Jessica and her gal Lily. Thank youuuuu ladies!

I used Ross | Carreiro | Brown CPAs for tax preparation and advisory services. In June 2025 I paid…read more$1,933.59 in person to close my account before relocating out of state and was explicitly told my balance was paid in FULL. Two months later, I was contacted and told I owed more money. The balance then changed multiple times -- first I was told $800. Then, AFTER a "50% discount," I was told the amount owed was $1,193! There was no clear or coherent explanation. Invoices issued months later included "Income Tax Return" charges despite my prior payment and being told the account was closed, making the billing appear retroactive and inconsistent. Communication was slow and unreliable despite repeated follow-ups. I was told the head CPA, George, would get back to me about my billing dispute once he was back from vacation. Two months went by before I reached out again and heard anything. I made a reasonable, good-faith offer to resolve the matter if a final invoice confirming no remaining balance was issued. That never happened. Instead, billing continued, including yet another invoice sent in January 2026. Their billing practices are confusing, delayed, and poorly managed. I would avoid them, but if you don't, I strongly caution you to scrutinize invoices carefully and not assume that being told an account is "paid in full" actually ends billing. Document everything. This was not a good experience - on top of their already exorbitant fees.

There was never any communication regarding any extra fees other than stated on the website. After talking to other tax professionals the fees should have been no more than $350.

I'm on the fence about this CPA service. It was recommended by my girlfriend, who's had her…read morepersonal and business taxes done by Nick. For 2023, I decided to give them a try since they're local, and I had doubts about the reliability of my previous CPA, who was a friend of my ex-wife's. I submitted all the requested information to their front desk in February. However, in April, I received a notice from the FTB (Form 5071C) regarding a tax return filed under my SSN. I confirmed I hadn't filed a return and informed the CPA's office, but I never heard back from either the FTB or the CPA. In August, things got even more frustrating when I hand-delivered my girlfriend's personal taxes and our business taxes. They later claimed I hadn't submitted them. I provided the date, time, and her name, but nearly a week later, they said I had given the wrong last name for my girlfriend. This caused additional delays in processing. Then, in September, I learned their software couldn't file my taxes electronically--a problem that should've been addressed months earlier. They'd been waiting on my Schedule K-1, but once it was ready, I had to file my taxes by mail in early November. By October, my taxes were finally submitted, but after eight weeks, I noticed no refund was deposited into my account. When I called, they directed me to the IRS website, where I discovered my federal refund had been applied to an outstanding balance. The FTB later sent a letter saying my return had been changed, and I owed thousands. I contacted the CPA, and they investigated, but now my state return is stuck in limbo. To make matters worse, their emails have been condescending, suggesting I may have forgotten filing a return earlier in the year. I hadn't--it was their office's delays and errors causing the issues. Now, it's late December, and I still haven't heard anything from the FTB, nor has the CPA provided meaningful help in resolving the matter or tracking down my state refund. Will I continue using their services? Probably, since my girlfriend has been with them for a while, and I hoped using the same CPA would simplify things. That said, I'm cautiously optimistic they'll clear up this mess and improve the process next year--especially when it comes to filing electronically for 2025.
