I'd been very frustrated with our past CPA with whom I'd worked for close to 10 years…read more As a result of that experience, I'd spent 4 months looking for a new CPA with some key criteria. The new CPA had to be very organized, responsive, and use technology to collaborate in more of a "distributed / remote" way. Of course, we also wanted someone who was ethical in their approach to tax laws, and had high core competency around tax laws for small business, medical and health related expenses, homeschooling, as well as investments. Kareena Sharma of KS Tax and Financial Services met all of our requirements from day one. When I reached out to her, she quickly responded back to setup an intro call. She was clear about her office's core competencies, what staff she had available, and offered to research some nuanced questions we had. Once we got the final results of our completed tax filings, we were impressed. We got better results than what our previous CPA had estimated in October of last year. Hoorah! I also loved the time saving of working with her, sharing all of our documents on a secure platform, where we could simultaneously work on the them. No more insecure emails or keeping track of who has which version of a document. What's more, she completed all filings and setup a web conference call, even though she's somewhat local to us. This saved us the time to drive back and forth, while still being able to meet "face to face" via video. Since then, I've also learned she works with clients across different states, using the same online tools and web conference capabilities. This is why I personally recommended her to all of my friends and family across the US. Give her a try. I think you'll be impressed!

James is hands down the best CPA I've ever worked with.

He is very responsive, organized, and professional, and I felt completely confident knowing my taxes were done correctly and strategically. He didn't just file my return; he made sure I understood the plan moving forward, including quarterly payments and compliance, which gave me real peace of mind. If you're looking for a CPA who is honest, detail-oriented, and truly cares about helping you stay on track financially, I highly recommend James. You will not be disappointed.

I've literally been with the same accountant all my life; the same one my parents use. However this…read morewas finally the year I had to find someone else to file our taxes (And No, I'm never going to file my own. I've heard that advice before "just file your own, it's easy.) I contacted 4 different local accounting service businesses and ultimately decided on Hongda & Gil Tax. I made an appointment and drove down at the end of February. Since it was my first time, they did have to get copies of our Drivers' licenses. I came alone, but happened to have a photo of my husband's and emailed it. During the initial set up, I waited in a common break room. They had water, coffee and vending machine if you wanted any snacks. After waiting about 10 minutes, I went in for my actual appointment. Everything was fairly quick, I was asked a few questions, provided advice on things to change on our W4, and told how much I would get back and what I owed. I checked my direct deposit a couple weeks later and saw I had already received by money back from the State! LOL The fee was also reasonable; just a tad higher than what my previous accountant charged, but the processes was really smooth and so fast. Definitely coming here again next year.

After relocating from Burbank to Rancho Cucamonga, my husband and I needed a new tax person. I…read moresearched Yelp and luckily found Mariette. My husband and I were able to submit all of our tax documents electronically. We visited Mariette's office once to sign the final documents. Mariette is a true professional, knowledgeable and courteous. She returned all of our phone calls and emails in a timely manner. My husband and I will work with her for years to come. I highly recommend her services!

I had very high hopes, but in the end I was very disappointed. I was initially impressed with the…read moreemails and reminders that I received from Mariette about our upcoming meeting. She seemed very on-the-ball. When we talked on the phone, Mariette was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about bookkeeping. However, I felt rushed in our telephone conversation. Telephone conversations are one price, whereas if you want to meet with her in her office she charges much more. The fist time that I had a bad experience with Mariette was when I had scheduled a telephone conversation with her weeks in advance. Then just before the meeting, she asked to reschedule. I'm busy too, but I understand if we have to reschedule. However, she is booked weeks in advance and to have to reschedule an appointment with Mariette can now take about a month from the first time that you wanted to talk to her. I then asked to be rescheduled to a different date and time that she suggested. I called her at the time we had scheduled and I didn't know that she had scheduled with someone else at that time. She said that I had asked for that time, but that she didn't confirm that appointment with me. She said that I had to request that appointment within a 72 hour window. I understand what she means, but she also didn't tell me that she couldn't make that appointment with me because she gave it to someone else. So here I am with an appointment in my calendar to discuss something with her that I wanted to tell her about a month ago and if I have to reschedule again then I have to wait another couple of weeks. Then she told me that she would call me, but never did. I actually think that Mariette is a victim of her own success. I'm sure that she's good. I'm sure that she knows what she is doing. But I'm also sure that she is too busy for me and inconsiderate of my time. I see how many 5 star reviews that Mariette has and I realize that this one star review goes completely against what others have written. But none of the other reviews are from a Yelp Elite member or with anyone with more than a handful of reviews. And I seldom give a one star review.
