Thank you so much! I look forward to working with the team in the near future.

Thank you! Scott Little

I highly recommend Jenae to anyone who wants to get their books in order by someone who really cares.

I engaged Bob Carey to prepare my corporate return and anticipated working with him on my personal…read morereturn as well. The corporate return was prepared accurately and within the fee range disclosed in the engagement letter, which I paid promptly. However, when I asked follow-up questions regarding differences between his methodology and that of my prior CPA, the interaction deteriorated significantly. During a phone call, he raised his voice ("I don't need to take this crap...I'm DONE, OK??"), used hostile language, and abruptly terminated the call. Within minutes, he returned my personal tax documents by email, effectively ending the engagement during filing season. While his technical work on the corporate return was satisfactory, I found the communication and professionalism during this exchange deeply disappointing. Clients transitioning from another CPA may reasonably have clarification questions, and I did not feel those were handled constructively. Others may wish to consider communication style carefully when choosing a tax professional. Now I have to find someone new right in tax season with no referrals and no smooth transition.

I found Jacobs & Jacobs after an online search of local accountants in Thousand Oaks. They had good…read morereviews so I decided to set up a consultation. They set up a phone call with Massimo to help me out with a financial issue related to stock options from my former employer. Massimo has always been an utmost professional - he has listened to all of my concerns, always offering honest and helpful advice. We were able to get my issues with the IRS sorted and we have come back since to continue filing our taxes with him. There was even a follow up bill related to the same issue mentioned before, and Massimo was able to spot an error the IRS made, cutting our amount owed in half! A couple quick notes: I was not paid for, nor did I receive any kind of discount in exchange for this review. I'm a real human and this is actually my firsthand experience! I say this because all these reviews start to sound the same and generally fake over time, but I am an actual real person! While Massimo did politely request I write a review, I was more than happy to (of my own volition), since he has been such a great resource. I'm glad to help more people learn of his excellent services!

I was told they do not want to simply do my tax return, they are looking for a much bigger client that owns their own business or is a big baller.
