See my original review below for the details...but does anyone else find it ironic that after 6-1 star reviews in a row (all saying the same thing about how unprofessional Victoria is), all of a sudden people hop on the scene days apart with 5 star reviews raving about "Victoria and her team?" And the snacks? LOL, what a joke. Check out the pictures from these "reviewers." The office is dark, closed AND the same white vehicle is in the reflection. A little odd that 2 different reviewers would be visiting New Stone while they're closed and the same cars are parked out front, but whatever. LOL. This should be another indication to you all that this woman is shady AF. Take note of the review dates here. I am updating my review as I finally paid off an old tax bill to the FTB (last month) that was due to another one of her screw ups from 2017. She entered the wrong amount one of our forms. From a REAL ex-client, I assure you, stay away.
**Edited to add - Ladies and Gentlemen, Victoria's erratic response below is exactly what you'll get when dealing with this woman. Besides the fact that she is lying on so many levels, it's drama. No thanks. Feel free to check out my reviews if you want to get an indication of how "difficult" I am.
**Edited again to address some of the issues in Victoria's response. Can't believe that I have to do this, but here goes. Really wished she would have reached out to me to resolve everything or offer a refund for incomplete business, but apparently it's easier to blast lies and personal drama on Yelp. We paid this woman to amend our 2016 taxes because I didn't list our interest in the right place and we ended up getting more than we should have. There was never a child care issue. Not sure what she's talking about. Anyhow, she supposedly amended it 5 months after hiring her to do so. Not only did we NOT get a return, but they still took the 5k out of last years return since she never completed the job. As far as 2017, she made a data entry error causing us to get bills from the FTB and IRS. We went ahead and just paid it since it was apparent that she had made the error. We chose to bite the bullet and not contact her about the interest and fees that were incurred. As far as not doing business with her at this point, the best thing that she could have ever done was tell my husband that she couldn't do business with us because of a "conflict of interest." Still not sure what that conflict of interest is, but my only guess based on her reply is that she chose to believe the lies of an ex-wife, which I won't even begin to try to defend here. Thankfully we found our current tax lady. She's sharp, charges a few hundred less, has processed our last 2 years error free, and doesn't accuse me of being envious of her looks...lol. Not that looks should matter in this issue, but someone seems obsessed with their image so I'll give mine...our new tax lady is prettier both inside AND out. The reason why I shared my experience is because we had 2 returns botched by this woman and I have plenty of documentation. The reason for the late review is that we finally had enough. We literally just paid for the final bill from this whole mess. My only hope through all of this is that perhaps this has been a humbling experience for New Stone and that Victoria has finally realized that word gets out about bad business practices. If you read the other reviews (which she still chose to ignore), you'll see that it was/is a pattern. If she's improved her service, great! I hope no one else gets screwed the way that we did. read more
