Used Rudy for a notarization on an affidavit. First visit, he flagged that my name needed to be in…read morethe body of the document, not just on the signature line. Fair point -- I went back to the attorney who drafted it, had them add my name in the body, and confirmed the document complied with California notary law . Came back later in the day with the revised document. Rudy looked at it and said "something seems off." That was the entire explanation. No identification of what was off, no specific provision he objected to, no questions about my ID or the underlying transaction. Just refused. Took the same document to another commissioned California notary that same day. They reviewed it, verified my ID, administered the oath, and notarized it without any issue. Two visits, two trips back to my attorney for revisions he requested, and ultimately a vague refusal with no actionable feedback. A notary's job is to verify identity and witness an oath. If specific concerns exist, communicate them clearly so they can be addressed. "Something seems off" after you've already made the customer revise the document once isn't professional -- it's wasting their time.

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.

All of the different deductions can get tricky but Aigul knows exactly what to put where to help me not pay a penny more than I actually owe. And when the IRS audited me last year Aigul represented was in my corner the whole time and handled everything. The audit ended with a decision of "No Change" meaning that Aigul had done her job flawlessly, and I wouldn't owe the irs anything more. I have had an accountant before that over complicates things and puts the majority of the work on their client. Aigul can literally take a box of receipts and sort them into the proper categories, but hopefully you're a little more organized than that. Thank you so much Aigul & Associates!!
