I chose this CPA firm solely based on their YELP reviews. I set up two appointments which I then was unable to show up for. (My mother uses the expression: "Overloading my hummingbird butt with my alligator mouth.") Indeed. Finally I was able to get myself in there with a rather laughable collection of documents, dazed and confused about all things tax related, as usual. I met with John Hopkins. Young, dashing and with framed photos behind him of his gorgeous wife and equally beautiful, four children, he offered me a warm, genuine welcome, making me immediately feel valued and well taken care of. Not only did he then get my mom's taxes done in record time, (those were a rush,) but in the interim he also discovered I'd failed to pay a tax owed on my LLC I had in 2014/15 and that I owed around $5,000 in penalties! HOWEVER, he feels he has a solution, can get me around this and help me avoid the steep penalty---if not all together---at least a very significant chunk of it! I was thrilled! I had found a knight in shining tax law right here in my back yard!! John and his team are not only extremely professional, knowledgeable and privvy to the very latest tax law and techniques, but John is also extremely kind, genuine, concerned and delightful to work with. I can't say enough about this firm and how high they've raised the bar for their industry. Extremely well done and highly recommended. Elisa Christensen read more

Wow! I am not normally impressed but Mr. John Hopkins at Prospect Financial Solutions did great work on our 2013 tax returns. We used the same company for the last 10 years to prepare our corporate and personal returns. Something was wrong when as a business owner, I had questions that seemed to shock or surprise my tax consultant who did not have ready available answers. While doing research, we interviewed several different "Enrolled Agents" and located an honest and knowledgeable man, Mr. John Hopkins who asked me a lot of questions and located errors that had been omitted from my 2012 returns before he even looked at them. Mr. Hopkins is so well versed and efficient and he is now even doing my company payroll as well. Thank you Mr. Hopkins for saving my family money and keeping it from the IRS who does not spend it as wisely as I do. read more

I have always done my own taxes using Turbo tax. That was until last year when our friends at the IRS sent a bill for almost $20,000. Even though I knew it was a mistake, I needed a professional. A friend recommended me to John Hopkins at Prospect Financial Solutions. John immediately say the problem and began to file the amendments challenging the IRS. Not only did he clear up this problem, he found almost $600 more i n monies due me from my 2012 return. Within a matter of weeks the problems were corrected. I can not speak highly enough of Johns' expertise and professionalism. I am writing this now because I just forwarded him all my documents to handle this years taxes. Sorry TurboTax you failed me and John fixed it. read more

Have been searching for someone new to do my taxes after a horrible experience last year. Previous company offered no guidance, and "wasn't sure" about almost everything I asked them as far as write-offs. John was very knowledgeable, which was a huge relief for me being my first year as a business owner. He got straight to the point, and walked me through the whole process. I've always dreaded tax time but for the first time ever I felt better walking out of my appointment then I did walking in. And not that I judge a book by it's cover, but his office is clean and professional looking, and was greeted with water and coffee while I waited since I was early. Going to be my go-to guy from now on. THANKS! read more

We had used the same tax guy for years but this past year we began to question if we were getting what we paid for. We met John Hopkins and just asked him to take a look at our past year to make sure all was good. We were so glad we did. He found something that was missed and took care of correcting it for us. John really knows his taxes and is passionate about staying on top of updates and changes to make sure he is providing his customers with the most current information. The bottom line is that John made sure he asked us everything he would need to know about us to provide the best service possible. We look forward to meeting with him from now on. read more

I Incorporated a few years ago with no knowledge of what I was getting myself into. I jumped in feet first and have been floundering around ever since not being able to get reasonably priced help with my accounting needs and tax assistance.

He has made some great suggestions that will help us immensely in the future. The best part is his friendly nature. Thanx John. I look forward to a long relationship with your company. read more
