This review was long overdue. Abet has been my CPA for the last 2 years. As a new business owner, finances can be very stressful but Abet and his assistant Alina have been absolutely wonderful to work with. They are very responsive and are able to answer questions very effectively. We are currently going through some business changes and they have been very adaptive to our constantly changing finances. This includes going above and beyond, working on days off to make sure our needs were met in a timely manner. Their prices are also very good for the work they do! Thanks Abet and Alina! read more

I had a pretty complicated tax situation, which included things like living out of the country, residency in multiple states, and even more factors. By the time I came in to see Abet I was so stressed I thought I was going to explode. Abet totally came to my rescue. He sat down with my paperwork, got everything done quickly and reasonably, and explained some of the most complicated stuff to me clearly, which massively reduced my stress level. Also, Abet is just a delightful guy, so if you decide to go in person to his office you'll have some great conversation. I will be back next year! read more

Abet has helped me with several of my businesses since 2011. He has been by our side since we first started buying Real Estate. He has been instrumental in helping us grow our business and growing our real estate portfolio. I trust Abet and appreciate that he is by my side all year round. I cannot recommend anybody more and I feel at ease knowing he is on my team! read more

We had worked with Ara many years. Out of coincidence, we chose Abet and ended up continuing our relationship with this office. And we are glad we got to meet him. We all have specific individuals helping us in life and business. Abet takes care of our taxes. He is down-to-earth and knows what he is doing. The front-desk do a great job as well. They return my phone calls and emails promptly. We are happy with their service. read more

Abet has been doing my taxes for the last 4 years and has been doing the best job figuring out my convoluted taxes at the end of every year. Although he gets busy at times, I can't expect any more from someone who's attention is demanded at all times sometimes. He's helped with all questions I've had for my business and future business ideas I'm planning to structure those. Give Abet a call. You won't regret it read more

Abet is the best, and nicest tax accountant I have EVER come across, and that's saying a lot, because I have always used accountants. He is generous, professional, extremely knowledgable, courteous and very laid-back - which is also saying a lot- because that's rare to find in an accountant in Southern California. I actually look forward to going to do my taxes next year...Abet was that awesome. You will not regret it if you use Abet's services, believe me. read more

I made the rookie mistake of filing my own paperwork with the state when I started by business. When tax season came, I had no idea what I was doing and that's when Abet came to the rescue. He walked me through the process and knew exactly what he was talking about. He helped me save thousands of dollars in taxes which I figured I had to pay up! Abet's experience in the field is absolutely amazing. I know trying to figure out taxes can be a terrifying experience for anyone. Believe me when I say that Abet has you covered. I highly recommend his services! read more

First of all, let me just say I'm terrified of finances and taxes more than the monster under the bed. I don't understand it and I never want to.... With that being said, my boyfriend has quite a complicated tax situation being an avid entrepreneur in the entertainment industry. And guess what? I took on the task of helping him take care of his taxes. Turned into me having to totally take care of it all. So I needed to find someone to help me. Someone that has an good understanding of the entertainment industry and all the tricky aspects of the finances that go along with it. I took to Yelp and chanced it. I reached out to many accountancy groups. Out of all of them, Abet was the only one who actually typed a response to me instead of an automated message. That was the first sign or a person who would have the patience to deal with me. Abet was out of town at the time, but was still emailing me and even offered to jump on a call if my situation was urgent. Since it wasn't, I insisted he enjoy himself and we would meet when he returned. He kept up with me with emails, which was surprising. I didn't expect to feel so important before he had any money from me. We met up and talked. He was willing to meet me wherever was convenient for me, even on a Saturday! Abet completely understood my situation and reassured me that it wasn't as bad as I had expected. I was thinking we would owe thousands to Uncle Sam! Without completely reasonable prices, Abet has a thorough knowledge of the entertainment industry and can really light the dark tax path that comes with it. I feel so lucky to have found Abet to help my boyfriend and I not feel so stressed during tax season, and all year long. Thank you Abet! ! read more

I was hesitant to write this review because I didn't want anyone to find him, but I felt I had to share!!!!! After going from multiple tax personnel for years, I finally found the best accountant, Abet! He is amazing and I will keep going to him for many years to come. Abet is thorough and professional. I won't go to anyone else, he is truly THE BEST ACCOUNTANT!!! read more

We love the youthful exuberance of accountants! ha. A solid personal relationship with your accountant is what any business or family should have. When the firm that our family used for three generations, consolidated into a corporation, we decided on going with Pinnacle Accountancy Group through the advice of close friends. We are very pleased, Looking forward to a strong relationship with Pinnacle for generations to come... read more

My husband and I were stuck in a time sensitive situation on a Friday evening. We called our tax guy and he wasn't available. We called friends, left messages, posted inquiries on social media for referrals and still nothing. Saturday afternoon, I'm calling more people, Abet answers. He asks what we need and says: send me your information and let me call you back. Within an hour, Abet sends us a PDF tax matrix and calls us to walk through tax predictions for our current AND 2015 tax year. He extended himself beyond our expectations....on a weekend! And when he had other clients to attend. Our conversation, although brief, was insightful and rich with in depth knowledge; he knew exactly what we needed. Abet acted as part accountant / part therapist. He was empathetic and compassionate to our situation. In the end, as we asked how much we owed him for his time, he said, "no, no, no charge. I'm just glad I could help you. Let me know how it goes." Needless to say, Abet just made two more clients. read more

Abet has been amazing over the years. He has been doing accounting for my entire family for 15 years, and is now helping me with my accounting. He is extremely knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. He takes time to explain every detail. The tax world can get confusing for me, and Abet is the only one who can break it down for me. Thanks for years of reliability and honesty Abet! read more

I am beyond satisfied with the care and service I receive from this firm. I was referred to Abet at Pinnacle by a co-worker and I could not be happier. I have had other accountants in the past and none have been as explanatory or genuine in their desire to serve as Abet. I can tell that he treats each of his clients with respect and is personable and friendly as well. Professional, thorough and efficient would be the words I use to describe him. He takes time to explain and allows for questions and learning which I believe is very important. I recommend Abet to everyone. read more

Abet is ABSOLUTELY amazing. Last year I had a terrible experience with H&R block. Not only did I not get a refund that I was entitled to, I had to spend more money to amend my return with them and I ultimately still did not get my refund back. What was even worse was that H&R block pretty much vanishes after tax season and it's nearly impossible to find the agent that was helping you. So this year, I found Pinnacle Accountancy Group through yelp, and decided to give it a shot. Prior to the appointment, Abet sent me a checklist of documents that I needed to bring to help with the appointment process. At the actual appointment, Abet was very knowledgable and explained everything to me in a way that I can understand. I was there for no more than an hour. The best part about PAG also is that they run all year round, so even if you have problems after tax seasons, I will still be able to contact him. I highly recommend Abet if you are looking for a knowledgable, easygoing, honest AND efficient accountant. :) I'm never going anywhere else! read more

I was fortunate to meet Abet back in 2014 to file my taxes. Of all the accountancy groups, he was the only one who took the time to hop on a 30 minute call and share with me a few pointers to improve my tax filings for my business and personal finances. Here we are in 2019 and the experience has been consistently great! Abet is a true professional and genuinely cares for his clients. read more

I had questions about my tax situation as an employee and contractor on the side. Abet met with me in person, gave great advice, and put together a projection of what my taxes would look like at the end of the year. Abet is a personable and professional individual. I recommend his approach and talents to anyone who has questions about their current tax situation. read more

Abet is absolutely the best. We keep going back again again and that is because of his beyond stellar service. He is patient and makes the experience as seamless and painless as taxes can be. As a small business he really goes above the call of duty to make sure that we are satisfied and most importantly understand the process. We trust him immensely and know that he is truly looking out for our best interest. I honestly cannot recommend him enough! read more

Abet has done my taxes many times now and I am always pleased with the entire process, from start to finish. As someone who is not taxes savvy, I was very happy to have found Abet. He is knowledgeable and helpful. And he is also very timely... which can definitely come in handy in the last weeks you have to submit your taxes. All in all, I highly recommend Abet. He is efficient and detail oriented and I trust him as a professional. read more

Amazing Firm! After a years of not being satisfied with my old accountant but reluctant to change, I finally decided that it was time. I contacted PAG and sat down with Abet for a consultation. I was completely blown away in just the first 15 minutes. Needless to say I made the change and it has been one of the best decisions I have made. Their dedication, professionalism, and complete knowledge of the tax laws has saved me a considerable amount. My only regret is that I didn't make the change sooner. Thank you PAG! read more

If you need an accountant in the Burbank/Glendale area, this is the place to go. They provide exceptional service, reasonable prices, and they are very thorough. read more

Abet is the best! I have a small business and Abet's thorough understanding really helps simplify things during tax time. He's friendly, and always willing to explain complicated issues, which is a huge plus. His expertise is indispensable to a small business! Such a relief to work with someone who really knows what he's doing. Can't recommend enough. read more

My husband and I have been going to Abet for years. He is by far the best accountant in the Burbank and Glendale area. He knows what he is doing and we have peace of mind knowing that we are using a professional unlike any other. His rates are reasonable and we highly recommend him. read more

I finally understand the difference in accountants, specially when it come to income tax filling. It is crucial to work with an accountant who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, organized and respects the deadlines. This is what I received from Pinnacle accountancy group. No matter how big or Small they take you through all the necessary steps with the out most professionalism. Highly highly recommended. read more

For 2014 I decided to get my taxes done kind early, so I asked a couple of my friends for recommendation on a tax return specialist / accountant / CPA. PAG (Abet) is an expert in his field, my tax returns were filed quickly & most importantly correctly. Abet also was informative and taught me some fundamentals about how to manage my personal finances. I will be using his services from now on and I highly recommend people in Glendale & Burbank to give him a try. read more

Every year I try a new accountant. I am so glad I tried Pinnacle this year, Abet was wonderful to work with. Not only was he incredible kind and patient, but he explained every detail and was extremely informative. I highly recommend getting your taxes done by him. read more

I have multiple businesses that I've started and I wish I came to Abet a lot sooner for tax and accounting advice. He really cleared up a lot of questions I had and on my most recent tax filing he took the time to play with all my deductions and credits and such to get the biggest refund possible (legally and ethically, of course). I also used his referral to incorporate my business and that was a huge time and headache saver as well. Highly recommend Abet for business accounting! read more

I've worked with Abet on both setting up an S Corp here in California, as well as personal and business taxes planning/preparation. He has always been prompt, explains the points that I need to pay attention to, and doesn't waste my time circling around the parts that aren't pertinent to my business. I'm very happy with the services provided and will continue to use Pinnacle for my accounting in the future. read more

Abet is great and takes time to examine your financial situation.

After a very negative experience with another tax person I called and found Abet, what a blessing it was to find him. I can't say enough good things about him and the service I received . He has been professional, efficient, knowledgeable , patient and kind. I will not go anywhere else. Thank you Abet, you are the best ! read more

Abet is a very friendly guy who readily volunteers his knowledge and really cares about his clients. He's very flexible with his time and was able to fit us in to his schedule(with 2 individuals and one partnership) less than a week before April 15th. His prices are extremely reasonable- I paid less here than I did with my previous accountant who did not do nearly as good a job. read more

ABET is trust worthy and knows exactly what to do when it comes to finances. Saved us a whole bunch of money that we used for our own personal pleasure. He was very detailed and walked us step by step through the process and explained everything we needed to know and what to do. His going rate is amazing and he is very knowledgeable. He also helped us turn our business into a CORPORATION. We are honored to call him our Accountant , but more honored to call him our FRIEND. We tell all of our business owners and anyone we know ABET is the one to call to save you money and time. read more

Abet is the best of the best! Genereous with his time and knowledge and a perfect gentleman. Always available and always helpful. Six stars! read more

I came to pinnacle accountancy services after I got their mailer, for my yearly tax filling. The accountant is very professional and caring. He spends time with you going over all different tax options and consults for next year as well. I would highly recommend him for personal taxes and consulting. I referred all my friends and family to him. Definitely worth trying. read more

Abet is awesome! Not only professional, but also very polite and knowledgeable. I was a little leery of someone else doing my taxes as I have always filed them myself, but after going back to school I wanted to make sure that I was doing everything the right way. Abet knew exactly how to get me the most money back and explained everything as he did it! I couldn't be happier with the services I was provided! read more

Abet is fantastic. Our last accountant was completely inept so I shopped around a bit this time - and I'm glad I did. Abet goes above and beyond for us, explains everything in language we can understand, and responds to our emails in a timely manner (which is really important to me). I'm thrilled and relieved to have found someone we'll be able to stick with for years to come. read more

Abet is the man! He's helped us out two years in a row now and I have to say it's the best experience I've ever had. His advice is sound and he's extremely accommodating with questions. We'll be sticking with him for a long time! read more

Abet is great- I've never had an accountant sit with me and take his time explaining the step by step process. Abet also remains available to you after filing your tax return for further questions/concerns! I definitely recommend Abet and will return next year! read more

Abet at Pinnacle Accountancy Group is top notch. This was the first year I had my taxes done by a professional, and I couldn't have asked for anything better. Abet listened to my questions and made solid recommendations, while getting me the most out of my tax return. He is very diligent, CARING and personable. Highly recommended for taking the stress out of tax season! Thanks Abet! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Abet! I was really worried and confused about filing my taxes this year because it was the first time I was classified as self-employed and on turbotax it was showing that I was going to owe ALOT of money. I was nervous going into the meeting with Abet because I had never had a meeting with an accountant before, but right away he made me feel at ease. He has a great personality and is very, VERY good at what he does. What seemed so confusing to me, was easy as pie to him and he quickly got what I owe in taxes down to something that was more than manageable. I was so relieved!! I also had a few questions that my friend wanted me to ask him about her taxes and he was more than willing to answer those questions as well, even though she isn't paying him. On top of all that, I have his number now that he says I can always reach him throughout the year with any tax questions i may have, which is so nice because I always have questions haha. I do suggest calling early to book a meeting with him at the beginning of the year because he does get busy when tax season is in full swing. read more
