I had been with MOTA for many years but left after my 2024 returns were completed. They did both a…read morebusiness return and a personal return. They are very pleasant people, but not easy to deal with. Additionally, they are expensive. They charged me $140 to produce a single 1099-MISC, that I supplied all information for! Their new system and their demands became too difficult to deal with. Their questions seemed like audit questions rather than tax questions. And questions they should've asked about my taxes, they NEVER asked. They assume you know what should be submitted to them, and don't ask you any questions about what wasn't submitted. For example, in 2024 with the Mountain Fire in my neighborhood they should've asked about catastrophic losses. They know my address and know I live in the middle of many houses that were burned to the ground. They should've asked but never did. Fortunately, the question was asked for my 2025 return. Lack of competence or lack of leadership? Not sure which, but glad I switched.

John has been doing my taxes since shortly after he graduated from Cal State U, San Diego. We…read morespread my stuff out on his kitchen table and went over everything. He now has a nice office, and my taxes are much more complicated, but he is still the same great guy I met so many years ago. John cares about his clients, and gives thorough and complete service to them. He is a skilled CPA, and offers financial management and property accounting along with tax planning. I have never had anyone I referred to him say anything but "Wow!" when I asked how they liked his services. If I could give a rating higher than 5 stars, I would. If you need a CPA for tax, or financial or property services, you will not regret using John's services!

Seeing only one review here, and a negative one at that, I would have to say that the negative review is not the John Laubacher that we know, as he is a patient and friendly man, with a wonderful wife and grown up family. For example, at NO cost to attendees, John has held financial planning one-day classes annually for people at the church I attend, which included a copy of an Excel spreadsheet that each person could use to manage their annual family budget. I used that spreadsheet for several years and have made a simplified version for my kids as they have had to learn budgeting as they entered their college years. Give John a call and see for yourself with your own experience.
