I run a local moving service. I came to Kermit about a year ago because of his great Yelp reviews…read moreand since the first time I met him Kermit has been nothing but awesome! Before choosing Kermit, I consulted with a few other local and highly rated accountants. Kermit was by far the warmest and most knowledgeable that I talked to. That still rings true. I am so glad I found him! Kermit has helped us to choose our ownership structure, set up our quickbooks, file our taxes, and pretty much everything that has to do with accounting. I don't know what we would have done without Kermit. Kermit has shown time and time again to be incredibly kind, knowledgeable and generous with his knowledge. He is easy and fun to work with, and down to earth yet clearly professional. He always picks up his phone, and helps me with any questions that I might have (there are a lot, trust me). I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone.

Kermit is not only an amazing CPA, but a great human being in general to boot.

If you are looking for somebody with an immense depth of tax knowledge who can explain things to you in plain English - Kermit is your accountant.

No frills, just quality honest work.

If you own real-estate, are doing stock transactions (especially restricted stock or ESPP trades) he's a must! I've seen a couple collegues try to do taxes themselves or with cheap software and end up in a big mess and the couple of dollars they saved turned into a much bigger headache than it had to. Kerry is excellent about answering questions you may have and giving responsible advice on how properly manage you tax filings. And you get a nifty book to keep for your records. 5 stars! Plus its convienetly located University Ave in Downtown Palo Alto - so when you go to drop off your paper work you can grab an afternoon pick-me-up at Cafe Del Doge (BEST ESPRESSO EVER)

Made an appointment, walked in and was made to wait 30 minutes. After reviewing my files and papers and the type of taxes I wanted to get done, everything I said was being ignored or responded to in a condescending way.

We committed to working together, I felt they were unresponsive once we started uploading docs…read moreetc., and they then suddenly told us they'll no longer work with us with no explanation and didn't respond to any follow-up questions. 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.

I contacted him to do my 2019 taxes and he responded that it wouldn't be an issue at all (if it was I would have just done them myself via TurboTax)! If he was too busy to do it he should just be open and honest and tell me and that would have been OK. Trust is SUPER important when dealing with personal financials... I had to practically chase Robert down on multiple occasions/channels (via text, cell, AND email....) to find out if he did my taxes and submitted them for me. He assured me that he submitted them for me electronically and would send me a confirmation. This was in early October 2020. I contacted him in late October 2020, no response. I contacted in him in November 2020, no response. I contacted him in December 2020, no response.... you see the pattern here. I followed up with the IRS and found that my taxes were NEVER submitted. Contacted Robert again... no response (are you surprised?). I ended up having to do my taxes myself (via TurboTax) in December 2020. It is now February 2021 and the IRS is still processing mail-in returns due to COVID delays. Basically, due to Robert's lack of communication and lack of accuracy my 2019 tax returns still have yet to be filed by the IRS. Thanks Robert!... Once again, if you were just open and honest from the start I could have had this all taken care of electronically and be done with it. Work on your communication skills, do what you say you will do, and improve your accuracy and then maybe you can keep your clients....

I'm consistently pleased with the work Peter does for me each year…read more My tax returns are somewhat complex, involving income from a trust (which requires its own separate tax returns) as well as reporting on an in-state and an out-of-state rental property. I strongly dislike doing the necessary prep work for my tax returns each year, but Peter makes the process of gathering the information and getting organized as straightforward and as painless as can be reasonably expected. The things that I dislike about doing this prep work are the fault of the US and CA tax codes, and definitely not the fault of Peter. To the contrary, he makes this annual obligation easier, more bearable, and more doable. Plus, Peter is a genuinely nice guy -- friendly, responsive, professional, etc. Finally, I'm skeptical of Nicole L's negative review posted here from 2019. Her experience is not my experience with Peter. Not at all in fact.

Once we gave him the rest of our information he finished very fast! Not all CPA's are this responsive and thorough and we really appreciate that. We'll be returning next year!

Chris has always been available when I have needed him, even during his surgery he was available on the phone which meant a lot to me.
