We came to Kathleen Trumbauer in the early '90s, after a number of years with people who we later…read morelearned were incompetent and who made countless errors on our returns. Kathleen efficiently sorted through the mess, helped us re-file a number of returns, and took over our annual tax preparation. For almost two decades, our returns were relatively complex, involving multi-family real properties, investment accounts and several more complex forms of investment. Kathleen managed all of this with ease and kept us well informed about her process. Her work regularly saved us considerable sums, as she was always up-to-date on the latest wrinkles in tax law. Her fees were reasonable to start with, and, over the past two years' returns, as our tax picture became less complex (we'd unwound many of our more complicated investments) she reduced them still further. We now live quite a ways from Seattle - and have for 8 years. Until now, we had remained with Kathleen because we appreciate her services. This year, we finally cut the cord, after finding an excellent practitioner not 3 miles away from us in our small town. While we *could* have handled all our reports, forms and such remotely, we preferred to have at least one or two review meetings and it's just become way too difficult to drive into Seattle! We were sad to go, and hope that our new person will offer us the same level of professional, personal, money-saving service that Kathleen did.

I first did my taxes for a number of years with Kathleen Trumbauer way back in the late 2000s. In…read moreaddition to my regular personal and small business taxes, I also had a big mess of having to redo taxes for several prior years because my previous employer was audited and had messed up their taxes -- and thus mine as well. It was a LOT of complex and complicated work, and Kathleen dove in and straightened it all out wonderfully. Her fees were reasonable compared to doing the same kind of tax work with other CPAs and even H&R Block (who will charge you out the *** if you aren't a simple 1099), especially considering everything I asked of her. She really helped me out of the disaster my old employer made out of my taxes. She was a total pro the whole time, and I really appreciated all her hard work. Fast forward a decade and I was in desperate need of copies of some old taxes she had done because my records got lost and I needed them very badly. Kathleen went above and beyond to dig through old records, old computer files and databases, old backups, you name it! She was able to retrieve some very important information for me that I really needed to have and could not find anywhere else - not even from the IRS! She did all this for a former client with no question and was really kind about it! I was just absolutely floored by how much trouble she went to in order to help me out, especially as I had not been a client for years because I moved out of state. If I was still in Washington, I would definitely still be going to see Kathleen! And yes, I am a real customer, and this is my real experience. Thank you Kathleen!

*****10 stars***** Highly recommend!…read more It's hard to believe but I've been with Alisa Na, CPA for over 25 years now! I have incredible peace of mind, knowing that whether I have questions about my personal or business taxes, I can rely on the expertise of Alisa, Ken Endo and the rest of the amazing staff. A lot of people only think about taxes when April 15th rolls around, which is fine if all you file is a simple 1040EZ, but if you have a small business, side hustles, rental income, retirement funds, stocks and/or a myriad of other things in life that may effect your taxes, you NEED to have a knowledgeable accountant who is up to date on the latest changes to tax rules, deductions and regulations. If you ever have the misfortune of being audited, you better hope you didn't use a part time temporary HR Block contractor or DYI'ed on TurboTax. With an experienced accountant on your side like Alisa, I know I'll be on good hands because I know she has a full understanding of the law and my tax filing history. As someone with an overloaded schedule, a pet peeve is having to call/email countless times or playing phone tag. It's great knowing that someone is at the office to answer the phone and I'll always get the information I need quickly. So pick up the phone. Call Alisa Na, CPA now.

How refreshing it is to work with someone who is responsive to email! Rebecca is very nice, took the time to answer all my inane questions, and I have a strong feeling that I paid the exact right amount on my federal taxes... taking every deduction I deserved and no more. She even laid out options for reducing taxes by opening an IRA. Rebecca is located in Bothell, not Bellevue as the entry states.

Before finding out about Jessica, I called up all these other tax agencies and spoke with people that didn't sound like they really knew what they were talking about and many times gave me conflicting information. When I spoke with Jessica, she was able to give me good answers to my questions that I was able to understand, and also gave me great suggestions for my business! I called her probably about 3 times during those first few weeks, and was worried she would get annoyed with my questions, but she never did and always seemeed happy to hear from me. She helped me out with my state taxes, which literally, took maybe 2 minutes to complete. Wow! Talk about fast in-and-out service. I was also really impressed with how neat and clean her office was, and how she could pull up answers to question in minutes either on her computer or in some manuals she had. That last tax professional I saw about 10 years ago, had paperwork splattered everywhere, and had clients constantly going in & out of a very tiny office, where everyone could hear your personal information. I was so horrified by that experience & the fact that person bungled up my taxes, that it took me 10 years to go see another tax professional. I feel so lucky that I finally found Jessica, who I am totally confident in her ability to do my taxes properly and that I will get the best deduction I can get with her help. She just recently helped me with my federal taxes and again, it was smooth sailing. I was in & out in about an hour (unbeatable!), her fees are very reasonable, and I would highly recommend her to any of my friends. Getting an appointment is quick and easy, and you can also reach her either by phone or email, whichever is your preferred method of communication.

I have been meaning to write a review for Isaacson Tax & Accounting for awhile now..but it slipped…read moremy mind. I was delightfully reminded today when I received an email for SOMEONE ELSE'S TAX RETURN for the SECOND TIME THIS YEAR. Yes, you read that right, this is the second time they have emailed me about someone else's refund/information/ect. My experience in 2018 is still being passed around my family & friend group because it's so unbelievable. I had my first big year (2017) of basically full time-freelance money on top of my full-time job, so I thought I would seek a professional's help. I was super organized with passing off/organizing my paperwork & expenses, but was greeted with 21 questions/judgement on why I "did hire an employee to manage all my stuff" (again, my first and only year I have done that much work) I stuck it out with her office though and was transferred to a really nice man who put my return together. After I sent a payment to the IRS because I owed, I was NEVER invited in to go over my return in person or sent my return paperwork via mail. The only contact I received after payment was 2 notifications saying they needed to "extend" my return. As time went on, I was planning a wedding, and grabbing my return copies completely slipped my mind... Until 2019, when I decided to do my taxes with my husband. We found out that my taxes that I hired Cindy to do WERE NEVER FILED. The IRS told me to file a complaint. I called Cindy's office multiple times, leaving multiple messages asking for my return & what happened...she NEVER returned my call. I finally got ahold of her and she was extremely angry and rude on that phone claiming "she was too busy to deal with this and would look into finding my paperwork later". A month went by, as tax season came to almost an end, and I was able to reach the lady at the front desk who seemed embarrassed by the whole situation and pulled my paperwork within 30 minutes. I drove up to the office, where Cindy greeted me with my paperwork acting like nothing was wrong. You know, I was only picking up my 2017 tax return paperwork in 2019 that was never filed. No acknowledgement... There is no excuse she could use for this experience. If I could give 0-stars I would. I am sad I didn't pass this information on sooner, but thanks to an email meant for someone else - I was able to write my review.
