She takes the time to listen to your queries and suggest accordingly. Much better experience than other tax filing services. I rarely write reviews, and highly recommend Durrani CPA services.

I was referred to Durrani CPA services by a close friend of mine after I told him about the dilemma…read moreI was in. I hadn't filed taxes for my business in a few years due to some personal issues I was having and wanted to resolve this before it got worse. After contacting Hajira and explaining my situation she assured me that she could straighten things out and prepare all the necessary paperwork. She was easy to talk to and was very empathetic. A few weeks later she called me and said she had completed my paperwork and I have to say she did an amazing job. I paid a lot less than I thought I was going to have to pay and she was even able to have my late penalty fees dismissed. Thank you so much Hajira for all your help. I highly recommend Durrani CPA services. A++++

I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

I get calls, texts, and emails from Artech recruiters for short term, out-of-state jobs…read more Every time, I remind them what state I'm in, let alone what city, and that I'm not interested in relocating for a short-term position. Blocking their numbers, email addresses, and unsubscribing from their mailing list doesn't help. The recruiters will not update their database, and I'm unsure they even have the ability to.

I recently granted Artech the right to represent me for a contractor role at a large tech company,…read moreand I was stunned by the unprofessionalism and dishonesty of the Artech recruiters I worked with. I would strongly caution anyone who's been contacted by Artech to consider your options before granting them the right to represent you. Artech's practices are completely unprofessional at best and intentionally misleading at worst. An Artech recruiter contacted me through LinkedIn about the aforementioned contractor role at a large tech company, and another recruiter followed up via email, asking me to provide my updated resume and grant Artech the right to represent me for the job. A few days later I was scheduled for an interview with the hiring manager at the tech company, and I met virtually with a third Artech recruiter to prep for the interview. On the day of the interview, I noticed that the calendar event Artech sent to the tech hiring manager and myself had a new version of my resume attached that I'd never seen before. Not only had the resume been reformatted, but incorrect details about my experience had been added, and confusing/misleading changes were made to my work history. I didn't have time to inspect closely before going into the interview with the tech hiring manager, but the changes caused confusion almost immediately. For instance, while describing my experience as a professor, the hiring manager said, "You were a professor? Your resume doesn't list that experience." Artech had changed my job title to something nonsensical ("Assistant Program Manager, Content")--it seemed like AI gibberish based on keywords in the job description. Artech also added a claim to my resume that I had 5+ years of experience in a particular area, even though I only had 3 years of experience (as noted clearly by my dates of employment). After the interview, I emailed the Artech recruiters I'd been in contact with, attaching their dishonest revision of my resume and providing my edits in the margins. I noted 7 instances where they had either added a false claim or revised the resume in a way that was misleading or confusing. I spoke on the phone with the third Artech recruiter the next business day. She informed me that Artech does not edit candidate resumes to add false information about their experience. I replied that Artech does, in fact, do this very thing, because they did it to me. She said the second recruiter I had only interacted with via email claimed that he received my approval for the changes made to my resume, but he did not have written documentation via email of this exchange. I told her that this was completely untrue and that since I had never communicated with him in any way except via email, his lack of an email confirmation proved that he had never received my approval. She was surprised to learn we'd only communicated via email because apparently he was supposed to have done an initial screening interview with me before scheduling an interview with the tech hiring manager. That never happened. Needless to say, I was not moved to the next phase of the interview process by the tech hiring manager. I'm sure that it looked like I was being untruthful in my resume, which is extremely upsetting. I would absolutely never work with Artech in the future.

I don't understand taxes very well, so that's why I hired Lynn. She did file my taxes but she did…read morenot meet my expectations about explaining what's going on in simple terms. 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.

I can say without any reservation that Suntech is the best security company in the Bay Area, and…read moreI've consulted with nearly all of them. Mike and his team were absolutely incredible from start to finish while installing my full home NVR system. Suntech stands out above the rest with their unparalleled technical expertise and exceptional value for the quality delivered. When choosing a company for something as important as your family's safety, it's crucial to pick one that really understands the technology inside and out and how to optimally utilize it to secure your home. During my consultations with various security companies, I kept going back to Suntech because I just felt like Mike was the sharpest out of them all. He fully understood my situation and grasped the entire NVR ecosystem more fluently than all the others, and he has an excellent memory too! On top of that, I feel that Mike truly cares about his clients- he's not in the business only to make money, but rather to make a truly positive impact in his clients' lives. The actual installation went smoothly and it feels so much better knowing that my whole house is now covered both inside and out at every angle with 24/7 continuous surveillance. Having that peace of mind is priceless and I'm so thankful to Mike and the Suntech team for it!
