Although they did a good job with my filing last year, this year has been a total disappointment…read more I contacted them by the end of January to get an early kickstart and avoid leaving this to the last minute. They asked me to send the documents as soon as they were available. After a while, when asked if they needed anything else, the answer I received in March was, "We will know when the returns are being prepared." meaning they didn't start at all. As a follow-up, I asked them if it would take some time; I could try to find someone else while there was still time. So surprisingly their response was, "Feel free to find someone else". This last response summarizes how they value their clients. I only gave them an additional star because they managed the situation better last year. If you're an individual client, avoid them at all costs.

If you are considering hiring Gary Winston, CPA, I urge you to read this first…read more My family hired Mr. Winston to assist with estate tax filings and financial oversight while my father was suffering from dementia. What followed was not just unprofessional--it was catastrophic. Over time, Mr. Winston submitted questionable tax filings, including a false 1099-MISC claiming over $1 million had been invested in my business. The truth? The actual amount was less than $150,000, and even that was over several years. Based on this false return, the IRS was paid over $237,000 from my father's accounts. He also advised my father to send misleading letters to the IRS--letters that contradicted facts, concealed who actually controlled the money, and protected Winston's position. When I began asking questions, Gary stopped responding altogether. No answers. No accountability. Meanwhile, my father's multimillion-dollar trust was drained. Funds vanished through suspicious payments, and to this day, Gary Winston has refused to explain his role or provide documentation to justify his filings. His former bookkeeper was involved in questionable practices, and there is strong reason to believe that others were acting in concert with him. This wasn't just negligence. This was manipulation of an elderly man with cognitive decline, and it destroyed our family's finances. We're now working with federal and state authorities to investigate, but the damage is already done. I'm writing this not out of anger--but to protect others from going through the same thing. If you have an elderly family member, if you're dealing with trusts or estate taxes, please be extremely cautious. In our case, trusting Gary Winston was a tragic mistake.

She's a lifesaver: she's not only an amazing human being, she's a highly skilled CPA. Our doctor…read morefriend recommended her. And she didn't even know she was on yelp. She doesn't take clients unless it's a referral. I think because it's a lot of work and a large commitment. She charges accordingly but in our case that we have many years of back taxes it's worth the money. Peace of mind is priceless... I appreciate that she can handle stress on another super human level. Her mind is sharp, she has a special talent, I believe she was born with a special brain, and has a gift, to crunch numbers, handle red tape, IRS, deadlines and take clients through the daunting road of taxes. Always in a great disposition. She's fearless too. She has no problem going down the rabbit holes and making calls and inquiries. She is an amazing human and a top notch CPA. And someone we can trust with our entire lives on the table. If you have work to do with an accountant you really need to feel heard and be able to trust that person. It's an intimate process. No judgement. You shouldn't ever feel ashamed. We are all human. And taxes aren't something natural to any normal human being. So to find a wonderful person that can make this process smoother.
