Mark provided me with outstanding realistic advice and guided me the correct way in approaching bookkeeping as a business owner. A fair recommendation is to at least understand how bookkeeping works for at least 1-2 months before deciding you need to seek a professional. Mark did not exhibit any predatory tactics and genuinely looked out for me, explaining what he thought was best for me during my current stage of opening my business. Irvine Bookkeeping also provides tax services in terms of quarterly business tax filings. Highly recommend for transparency and competency!!

I never even had an opportunity to use Mary's bookkeeping, so I can't speak to her services. My…read moreexperience was in setting up my practice to work with Mary. My first clue was when she quoted me an hourly rate of $75/hour, but then wanted to charge me $350/month without ever having SEEN my books or my needs. She said she's been doing this a "long time" and could "tell" it would be 5-7 hours per month of work. That being said, what if it was 5? Or less than 5? Would I get a refund? No response. But I'm in need, so I still said ok. After dozens of emails back and forth, I provided her with passwords for my business accounts, credit cards, and Quick books portable file. I set her up with everything she needed to start my work. The second clue she gave me was asking me (again) which accounts were which (letting me know she couldn't handle complex law firm accounts). She also asked me repeatedly for things I had previously sent her in the same email string. When I responded to her that everything had been provided she emailed me back immediately and stated, "We have decided we are too busy to handle your books." Period. Mind you, by this time, I have told my current bookkeeper that I'm going with someone new. Oy-Vey! After receiving ALL my client's private information in my QB file, my usernames, passwords, statements, etc. and me firing my other bookkeeper, I'll have to change everything now and there's nothing I can do to retrieve my QB portable file. To say I was disappointed is a complete understatement. She's definitely not as organized as she claims to be. I definitely don't see how she has this many 5 star ratings. ??? UPDATE: just read her reply comment on my post. Takes no responsibility for her role in what happened. Just puts it back on me. Whatever Mary. You can't even be honest that you said you were "too busy". *eye roll*. Clearly I dodged a bullet reading your other 1 star reviews.

She charges a fair price and helped me get a substantial refund last year. Cuz of an annoying K-1 that always comes late, I have to file an extension every year, but she has been appropriately conservative in estimating the amount I should pay both the IRS and FTB just in case on Apr 15, making my refunds even more pleasant of a surprise lol. She's also helped me with my dad's tax returns. Thank you! P.S. I think I already alluded to this earlier, but to emphasize in this day and age of stupid inflation: her prices are very reasonable, at least based on what I just read chatGPT says I should expect for our return's degree of complexity. Shoot, does that mean if she reads this she will raise her rates? I hope not hehe

Then explained the amounts I would be getting for my federal and state tax refunds. I liked at the end how Kathy put everything in a nifty blue folder for me to take. I would definitely recommend TT Tax for anybody needing to do their taxes and will do my taxes with them next year.

We've been clients of Smart Tax & Accounting for several years. When we first started, we worked…read morewith someone named Kim and had a great experience. Unfortunately, she eventually left, started her own firm, and later moved to Texas. After she left, we continued with Smart Tax & Accounting. For Tax Year 2022 we met with Liv, and unfortunately, that experience was not great. She may have been new at the time, but there were several mistakes, so we requested to work with someone more senior. We were then assigned to Tai, and for Tax Years 2023 and 2024 everything went smoothly. He was responsive and generally took the time to explain things clearly when we had questions. However, our experience during the most recent tax season (Tax Year 2025) was disappointing enough that we've decided to end our relationship with the firm. One issue involved Roth conversion planning. We asked Tai to run some numbers because we were considering doing a conversion this year. The calculations he provided contained several errors. When I pointed them out, he reran the numbers, but the revised version still contained mistakes. For something involving tax planning, accuracy in these calculations is obviously very important. Another concern was his comment that we shouldn't provide our mortgage statements because he didn't want to run the itemized deduction forms since we would "most likely" take the standard deduction. My understanding is that they charge based on the number of forms filed, but it didn't make sense to me not to run the itemized calculation at all. Even if it's unlikely, the numbers should still be checked to confirm which deduction is actually better. Overall, the process this year just didn't feel as thorough as in prior years. For example, there was no discussion about our charitable contributions, and we also weren't consulted about when our federal tax payment would be withdrawn. We eventually realized that the payment was scheduled for April 15 after not seeing a withdrawal for several days. Personally, I would have preferred the payment to be made when the return was filed, but we were never asked. In the end, there were simply too many issues this year for comfort. Our taxes are not particularly complicated, which made the experience even more surprising. Because of that, this will be the last year we use Smart Tax & Accounting. Hopefully the firm improves its review process and communication for future clients.
