Chris at FlexTax has been my tax advisor for about three years now, and I can't recommend him…read morehighly enough. He's incredibly thorough and detail-oriented - he double and even triple checks everything to make sure your return is accurate and that he has all the right information. He's also very responsive and flexible with scheduling, which has made it easy to fit tax meetings around a busy workday. Chris really shines with more complex situations. He specializes in startups and equity compensation (ISOs, RSUs, etc.), as well as investment portfolios, so if you work at a startup or have a more complicated tax situation, you're in great hands. He takes the time to walk through everything, explains complex issues clearly, and makes the whole process feel much less stressful. He goes above and beyond by looking at prior years and making amendments if necessary to put you in a better position for future tax years. I originally started working with Chris based on a friend's recommendation, and after three years as a client, I'm very glad I did. If you're a startup employee or founder, or anyone dealing with equity and investments, I highly recommend Chris at FlexTax.

I run a property management business which involves a lot of complex accounting. We hired Jay to…read morehelp us and he has been nothing but an asset ever since. He is very professional, honest, hard working and is motivated with getting problems solved for his clients. We recently ran into an audit from the bureau of real estate and Jay has been absolutely instrumental in helping us prepare and using the resources his firm has access to, to organize a mountain of information in a way that matches the bureau's requirements. He has really gone above and beyond what a typical CPA firm would do. I would strongly recommend the services of Focus Accounting to anybody in Northern California who needs the help of a highly professional, honest and dedicated accounting firm, who will be more than just a service, but an asset to any business.

Having previously hired a bookkeeper who gave me tasks to complete then ignored me if I did not do them (and was happy to take a fee anyway), Blythe comes as a refreshing antidote. Blythe will figure out what YOU need to get the job done, and she will support you with patience and without judgment. She will clean up any messes, put systems in place, and look at ways to streamline. She has a special gift for working with small business owners who are in growth mode, and she will help you in the here and now as well as help you plan for the future.

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!!

I feel very lucky to have found them. My tax preparer there was Ana Cardona. I was very impressed with the process they have there and especially Ana. She was very precise as well very knowledgeable about tax preparation. I learned things about my tax return that I had never known before. She answered all of my questions as well as going over my finished tax return with much detail. I brought all of the paperwork needed and we went over our tax return, line by line. What was also very impressive, after she entered my information into their tax program, we were able to complete the process right there and was told that our return would be submitted electronically that day. As our yearly tax refund is an important part of our yearly budgeting, to do this process so quickly was very unexpected and helpful. I would feel good about recommending MM Tax Preparers and, especially, Ana.

I regret hiring Meseret. I could have calculated my own returns in less time than it took me to…read moreplead with her (unsuccessfully) to fix the ~$5000 in mistakes she made. The problems all started when I found a mistake she made in our returns, which would have cost us $4000: she hadn't claimed an exemption for us even though I told her we qualified for it. She initially refused to discuss over email, forcing me to come in person where she didn't seem to understand what I was saying, and instead inflicted a confusing lecture about how we couldn't claim it (we can). My impression is that she was not familiar with this common exemption. She seemed pridefully unwilling to admit her mistake. After many more emails in which I pled with her to fix this error detailing the exact form and line, with links to the IRS instructions, she changed her story, implying that I must have had undisclosed IRA transactions and was therefore attempting tax fraud. It seemed like she was not aware that IRA contributions can be made retroactively, and that confused her. I finally provided her with detailed month-by-month IRA account statements showing the exact dates of those transactions from a decade ago, and she relented, and recomputed our returns. As a finale performance, she unnecessarily had us claim the full amount of a lifetime exemption (first-time home buyers'), even though we only needed a portion of it. This would have eliminated our ability to use the remainder in future years (costing us maybe $600-$1000 in the future). When I asked her to fix it, she incorrectly claimed that the exemption can only be used for our first house purchase (false), and she stubbornly inflicted another infuriating lecture upon me. I finally decided to quit wasting my time and file the returns myself. I didn't pay her hundreds of dollars to spend hours trying to educate her while she accuses me of fraud and gives misinformed lecture after lecture. Meseret has a lot of good reviews from people who I'd guess haven't ever double-checked her work before - or maybe those people don't actually exist. Please double-check her work, or better yet don't hire her in the first place. It might be a costly and time-consuming mistake.
