I had a bunch of issues with my previous CPA that I had engaged which that left me with little…read moreconfidence and time that I would get my tax situation sorted out in time for the year. Since I had only been using TurboTax before, I didn't have much experience in working with professional tax advisors and I contacted Yan after reading some reviews on Google/Yelp. The experience of using her for my CPA was completely different compared to the previous one I had. She was very detailed and meticulous in checking each detail of my situation, and also didn't pretend to know everything - if there was an issue that she wasn't clear about, she didn't hesitate to look up the necessary IRS documentation to make sure that we weren't making any mistakes. Even after our meetings in-person going over documents, she would also follow-up and double-check to make sure that I hadn't inadvertently overlooked something (and she did find a bunch of details that I had filled in incorrectly as well through this process!) She was also more interested in making sure that I understood the process and what each document was for, rather than just taking everything into her own hands and just asking me to "rubber-stamp" documents. I really appreciate her spending the effort to help with my tax literacy. Would definitely recommend Yan if you're looking for a reliable CPA who looks out for your interests, rather than just treating you as yet another client!

Yan was very helpful and will use her for my CPA Tax needs. We talked extensively and she gave…read moresome recommendations but did listen to us.

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.

We're now left with very little time to find a replacement and we'll probably lose a lot of money as a result of this surprise from them. Facts: we agreed to work together at the start of this year. They shared a portal for us to upload docs into. It took us a few weeks to get started uploading those docs but we're still within their purported time-frame in mid-February. We had some access issues that, for myself, they fixed; that was not fixed for my wife and we had to bug them several times in the last week before our scheduled tax prep meeting. They then reached out to me, saying that they can no longer work with us and that they'll delete all the files I uploaded to their vault. When I asked them why, they did not respond.

I reached out because I'm working hard, but still not seeing enough in my paycheck to get ahead. Christine immediately spotted things I completely overlooked, including helping me adjust my dependents correctly, which honestly made a noticeable difference in my overall paycheck. That alone took a huge amount of stress off my shoulders. What I appreciated most was how professional and down-to-earth she was throughout the whole process. No pressure, no talking down to me, no "finance influencer" gimmicks. She explained everything clearly and gave practical advice that actually applies to real life. She also helped me focus on budgeting in a way that finally clicked for me. Not restrictive. Not unrealistic. Just smart habits and structure that made me feel more in control of my finances, rather than constantly reacting to bills and expenses. You can tell Christine genuinely cares about helping people improve their situation, not just selling a service. She's knowledgeable, patient, professional, and easy to talk to, which makes a huge difference when discussing personal finances. If you're trying to improve your finances, better organize your budget, or simply understand where your money is really going, I highly recommend hiring Christine Teh. Definitely a well-earned 5 stars from me.

This coaching experience has been life-changing! I cannot speak highly enough of Christine Teh and the invaluable financial guidance she has provided.

In all of our communications, be it email, phone or text, she kept assuming I understand what's going on despite me repeating it to her that I don't understand taxes at all. So as a result, communication was really hard for me. I really don't know how well of a job she does taxes wise, she probably does a good job based on other reviews, but communication wise it was a bad job overall. You've got to know your audience! I would not hire again for that purpose. If you are someone who knows a little about taxes and are willing to learn, she's probably for you. If you are like me, who simply wants "please do my taxes" approach, then I would definitely not recommend.
