This makes a huge difference because you get the opportunity to sit face-to-face with experienced tax consultants and clarify every doubt in real time. I especially appreciated how thorough they were with foreign income reporting and other complex tax situations. Their team asks detailed questions to make sure nothing is missed--even in cases where you may forget to bring a document or may not even realize a certain form or income needs to be reported. That level of guidance gave me a lot of confidence that my return was being prepared accurately and completely. I've been to other tax firms before, and many of them mostly work remotely and simply file based only on the documents we provide. The problem is that as clients, we may not always know what all needs to be included, and not every firm takes the time to guide us. That's why I strongly feel Diwakar Taxes is an excellent choice, especially if you want careful preparation, experienced consultants, and confidence that your return is done right.

Fast forward 13 years - Because of his kindness and generosity, I took the time to skim through my contacts to find Scott as I know he will steer me right as I begin a new chapter in my life.

For years I was struggling to find a good Tax person as I always have to pay every year. Due to…read morethat I always for years filed Extension until October. I called computTax in Santa Clara and was able to schedule an appointment with a Tax person Noel. Let me tell you, it was the best experience I ever had. Noel was great. Excellent customer service, takes his time explaining everything going on in your finance. Noel has the patience and time to make it happen. With an affordable price. I no longer file late Tax since I met Noel. He has my trust, Thank you Noel!

The documentation is available via the portal to access anytime and also makes it easier to securely upload files. Each year however, the charge for filling taxes with them has increased. Started with $140 for 2022, $200 for 2023 and $260 for 2024 even when all my accounts remained same but I think it's still valuable service, unless there's another hike next year. Overall, it's great value for money because Noel takes time to review the return before filling with IRS, either in person or over a call. I always go to his office and spend some time in understanding the return and all the things that he files on my behalf. Very honest, flexible and trustworthy person.

I can't recommend Jimmy enough. He's the type of CPA who makes you feel like you're his top priority every single time.

My taxes were delayed because they could not figure out the new consolidated tax form from one of my financial institutions. You now have to make an appointment to finalize your taxes. Leyla no longer calls you to finalize your taxes. She still provided better services than Storek, Carlson & Strutz CPA as I hear they now charge $500 for similar services. After receiving her itemized price sheet I am looking for another CPA that will take better care of me that is worth the price. The last time I was in her office both Leyla and her staff treated me like a bunch of Meerkats!

For the first few years, she was outstanding, but sadly, her fees skyrockeded to an unusual level…read morethe last few years we used her. We had to move on to another accountant when we realized how much we were being grossly overcharged in comparison to other accountants of her experience level and higher. She has a lovely, bubbly personality, and was a lot fun to be around, but when you receive a bill for several thousand dollars for a service that is typically 1/3 other similarly experienced accountants charge, you know something is seriously not right. The last time we used her, we were grieved to see another disturbingly high bill. We spoke with a couple who requires similar services of their accountant and they were appalled by the fees she had charged us. We also shared the same information with a couple other accountants and they were equally shocked. Thankfully, we found another accountant that is a lot more experienced, easier to work with due to his ability to work remotely, and has been literally 1/4 of the fee Leyla had charged us for the last 2 -3 years we used her. Our taxes have also been more complicated over the past couple of years and he still is on average at least 1/4 of the fee that Leyla charged us the last couple years we used her. What is the most disturbing part of this, is during the last few years we worked with Leyla, we were really struggling financially. We felt we were grossly being taken advantage of in spite of our circumstances. Based on our great experiences with her in the beginning, we felt we needed to double check with other friends and accountants regarding our bills before searching for a new accountant. We are very grateful we trusted our instincts, double checked with others and moved on. If you do choose to work with her, make sure you get the fee quoted up front before having her move on with the work.
