I run my own business and he set me up to create and distribute invoices, collections, and everything that it takes to get my billing done. I mean it was a revelation for me to get everything in order and know where it's all going - and More Importantly - where it's coming in from!! Right. They did my taxes and saved me a bunch of money - and listen, I have an undergrad in accounting with a concentration in taxes (4.0 in this area) but I gotta admit - it is / it was and always will be CONFUSING! (Confucius say use Axis to save yourself aches and pains). Okay, maybe too corny. A HUGE Blessing to have these guys really take the time - be extremely patient (I wouldn't be that patient) and take me through the steps of doing my own day to day accounting. At first they did it for me - and then they weaned me out of it by helping me through the steps numerous times. I wanted to do it after a few years when my business became easier. Point is - Contact Axis with Keith - you will Love this guy. He's too easy to deal with and he has a personality. Some accountants you don't know what they're thinking like it's some kind of mystery. Not so with these guys - straight up, reliable, and get the job done by knowing all the angles. INTEGRITY

And then, the stars aligned. I had previously worked with Keith and Alissa in my past life. They were highly regarded throughout the company and were known to get it done.

I would hire him as my CFO if I could afford him (I still plan on doing so when I can ;)). I now actually have books that are properly categorized and inventory that is actually booked properly! It's freaking amazing. I can not recommend this firm more to people that are in need of accounting/bookkeeping services!

From our first session, Shannon approached me with kindness and genuine curiosity. During our time together, she guided me into the inner reaches of my body and mind with patience, openness, and compassion. I had never tried hypnotherapy before my sessions with Shannon. In fact, I went in as a skeptic, but I found Shannon's approach to be powerful and grounded in deep truths. More insights were revealed to me in my couple of months with Shannon than I'd uncovered in the combined years of talk therapy that I've done in the past.

I feel happier day-to-day and more resilient on my hard days. Ultimately, working with Shannon has changed my perspective on life and allowed me to connect with parts of myself I was not even aware of. Shannon is the real deal!

I had a complicated tax situation in 2025 involving multiple streams of income (1099, W2, 401k…read moreconversion, etc) and though I made quarterly payments, I knew I was going to need an expert to help minimize my tax bill. I learned about EAs from a community whatsapp and went in search of one. After looking for several weeks and reaching out to a few, it was Phuong's rapid response (by email and phone) and his kind demeanor that helped make my decision. Overall, working with Phuong was straightforward. After agreeing on an estimated cost, Phuong invited me to a secure portal to upload all of my documents. Alongside, Phuong provided a checklist to help guide all of the files/info that you should consider uploading. This was very efficient and helped expedite the process. From beginning to end, it took only a few weeks. It would've gone much faster, but I was delayed in uploading documents, so I caused the delay. Alongside, Phuong answered one-off questions as needed and quickly. And I had a lot of questions! But Phuong was always willing to help. The best part? Phuong confirmed I was actually owed a refund. I was stunned. Is there any better result than that? Of course, this means my quarterly payments were on target, but I'm not sure I would've reached the same result on my own. I can't recommend Phuong enough. He was fast, friendly and importantly, secure. I am certain I will be working with Phuong for all of my tax needs moving forward. Thank you Phuong!!

She helped me tune back into my own deeper wisdom and intuition, and to notice when my inner critic was getting in the way of trusting myself. Working with her was a balance of great practical tips and holding me accountable to myself balanced with coaching me through the intangible, inner (and often scarier) component of life/career transitions.

Skilled Attraction truly lives up to its name as a hidden gem. I worked primarily with Yasmine,…read morethe head matchmaker, though I know she has assistants utilized for coaching programs and other matchmakers for recruiting. I probably have the most unique story of all of Yasmine's clients. I initially reached out to her as she is a fellow Stanford alum. After a brief call, I signed on to her smaller matchmaking program. It was a mini program that allowed me to explore matchmaking without committing to the time and energy for a more intense program. First: I had a remarkable date with a gentleman Yasmine matched me with immediately. He was fit, funny, and handsome. We opted to do an activity date with mini golf followed by wine and small bites at a romantic venue For our second date we went on a picnic. He did the shopping, the cooking, the plating, and treated me like an absolute queen. It is hard to find men like that in our 50's! While we did not hit it off, I knew that dating men though Yasmine's mini service was helping me shift my priorities to take dating more seriously. A year later I signed on to Yasmine's more intensive program. Almost a month after that, I met this handsome, intelligent and very kind man at a get together. It was just a night out with my friends. Just a random night. Somehow it magically landed me my fiance. Yasmine is the one who encouraged me repeatedly to go out, have fun, do this, do that. She encouraged me gently many times to get out of my comfort zone. Was this a match from Yasmine? No. Would I have met him without Yasmine's service? I doubt it. Having access to her services in all its forms was life changing and I am so grateful to her. Many thanks to Yasmine and her team for making my dreams come true.

** Two different judges have ordered Yasmine to repay a combined $17,500 in the past 3 months**…read more I have previously posted about my experience with Yasmine, but the information was becoming stale and less-relevant, so I removed that post in favor of this more concise statement regarding the same experience. Today was my long-awaited court date with Yasmine to compel her to pay the refund required by our contract, and I won. The judge ordered her to pay me $9,000. To make the backstory as brief as possible, Yasmine and I contracted in July 2022 for 5-6 matches in 14 months. I initially liked her and do think she has some good matchmaking skills but had the sense that she was overscheduled. She provided 2 matches in the remainder of 2022, but throughout all of 2023, the matches she offered were often well outside of our agreed-upon parameters, had grainy/distant/sunglasses-only photos, and in at least two instances were actual catfish. Her communication also dropped off with various excuses such as "emailing the wrong Erika," falling ill, or having "lost her voice" and unable to talk on the phone. Even still this was not a big problem. I was patient with her, mostly because she had already collected a substantial fee from me, but I was also busy myself. However, when 2024 came around, I reached out to her multiple times for simple updates with no answer. Then when an entire month went by with no word from Yasmine, I decided she was either too busy or simply not interested in working with me and asked for a refund, and she agreed. All still not a problem! We had cordial negotiations to start, but things deteriorated rapidly when we could not agree on the refund amount so at that point I figured the best option was to let a judge decide. And that he did to the tune of $9,000 in favor of myself. I am happy for the folks who have had good luck with Yasmine recently. I'd like to think the experience with me inspired her to improve on her self-admitted lacking communication skills. However, to anyone considering hiring Yasmine today, I suggest you consider the following: Although required, her business is not registered in the city of San Francisco or the State of California. This means that there is no official mailing address on file to accept service of process. If for whatever reason you and she are not a good fit, ask yourself: how will you get your refund if there is nowhere to serve court papers? She lost to me today, and this review is about my experience only, but there are *public* court documents available with similar stories - in particular one in Nov 2025 where Yasmine was ordered to pay $8500. That's $17,500 that the courts have ordered Yasmine to repay clients in the span of 3 months. Let's not forget 5 stars for the San Mateo and San Francisco County Superior Courts!
