Great service, very patient, and extremely professional. He assisted me with my 2025 and amending my 2019 and 2020 return. I highly recommend. read more

Excellent service with my income tax return for my trust. Responds quickly to any questions you have. His fees are fair and reasonable.

The services are professionally done, efficient and trustworthy. I've been using this service for many years and am very satisfied every year with the quality of the work. read more

He is doing a wonderful job he has very good customer service was a pleasure to deal with him ​

Yoel is the best, very prompt even during busy season. Thank you very much for your help!

I've been working with Yoel since 2021, and he's been my go-to ever since. As someone in my mid-to-late 20s who has no idea what I'm doing when it comes to taxes, having someone like Yoel in my corner has been a game changer to say the least. He's incredibly professional, responsive, fast & straightforward. No fluff, no confusion--just honest, high-quality service every single time. Yoel has gone out of his way to help me more times than I can count, often at the drop of a dime. 10/10 recommend- plan to keep using his services for years to come. Thank you, Yoel! read more

Yoel is awesome..... Professional, thorough, and straight forward. and the price is the best part - better price than any in person preparer I could find in the city and also way cheaper than doing it myself on all of the major sites. read more

Yoel has supported us through multiple moves (including one from New York to the suburbs of NJ), a transition from agency work to private practice, the hiring of and subsequent termination of a salaried medical biller to help with insurance claims, the creation of a 1099-NEC to assist our nanny, daycare costs, home office costs, and my own financial negligence. (Notice this review is dated 4/15/24; he just got done with us, taking his time to understand things, treating us with the same kindness and professionalism that he would any other day of year.) While it's clear he does good business and has many clients, he's always responsive. Thanks Yoel for helping us dodge late fees! read more

Yoel is fast and does a great job with film / tv freelance work - another year well done.

Was recommended to use Refund Zoom by another friend who works in Film and TV production. All the numbers were accurate and correct, and I received my refund within a couple weeks of him submitting my taxes. I recommend Yoel; very straight forward and efficient. read more

I honestly didn't want to write this review because I'm afraid too many people are going to find out about Yoel and he will get too busy to help me! Morals got the best of me though so here it goes : Yoel is hands down the best tax advisor/accountant ever. He is responsive ( and I am a huge procrastinator ) every time I reach out. He actually helps me understand which forms I need to submit and why, and what from my business expenses is tax deductible. He is incredibly affordable too! Yoel- thank you so much for your help every year. I appreciate you !! read more

I trust Yoel Friedman. His service is extremely professional, fast, and accurate. I've been using his service for 3 years and will continue to do so! I highly recommend. read more

I highly recommend Mr. Friedman. His service is extremely professional and fast!!! I will continue going to him. Great service. read more

He started off well the first year. The 2nd year it was really hard to get ahold of him causing me more tax penalties per day and this time he just stopped responding all together. I would go else where to be safe. If you see any 5 stars they are either his freinds or NPC Bots. read more

Yoel is amazing! His tax expertise has been welcome and appreciated on multiple occasions!

First time I ever went anywhere to do my taxes, and it was a great experience! The service is great, price is more than fair, and the results are perfect. I would definitely recommend RefundZoom to anyone who needs their taxes done! read more

Yoel is the best accountant I've ever worked with. Not only is he reasonable, responsible, and dependable--he actually cares about his clients. He charged me half of what those crooks at H&R Block charge. He always answers my texts promptly, and he saved me money. You're not smart if you don't give the guy a shot. read more

I wish there was a zero star rating. Please check out the attachments . Yoel didn't prioritize a new client and as a result I got fines from the tax department. I hired this guy because I was brand new to all of this since I started my own business. I dealt with him in March of 2018 and I still don't have my refund. In fact I got fines. Then yesterday he told me I need to call the Tax department, after several months. What an inconvenience and a demonstration of pure incompetence. Beware! Simply not the best. 8/7/18 update Also, I wanted to mention that I had 2 late cycles for my business account. (honestly clueless because I was brand new to all of this). That's why I came to see Yoel and asked for his help. I usually do my taxes on my own but with a new business I thought I needed his "expertise". Well guess what, I had 2 late fees (which was fine but would be better if he advised me. Never a great feeling when you see surprise charges on your account.) On the next (3rd) tax cycle, he was already my accountant and guess what! I HAD ANOTHER LATE FEE. He didn't do anything ON TIME and he didn't do anything about it. I called him several times and as you can see on the text message, he told me to call the tax department myself. WOW. I could've done everything on my own. The poorest customer service I've ever had. Then, today, August 7, he venmos me and dares to charge me. And claims that he's working for "free". You're not working for free, Yoel. You're working LATE. TOO LATE. In fact, you should be the one paying me a refund of your service fee and the late fee that I got from the tax department for the 3rd cycle. Please see new attachment (Venmo). Funny how this guy threatens and begs at the same time. 2 lessons learned. Lesson # 1 for small business owners: Before seeing an accountant just call the tax department. They will walk you through the entire process and will save you stress and money from people like Yoel. Lesson #2- don't trust this guy. read more

See all

Yoel is everything you would from an accountant. He is quick to reply and very knowledgeable. Questions get answered quickly and thorough and the price as many have mentioned is reasonable. I have used him in 2022 and 2021 and had a great experience each time. read more

Yoel has been doing my taxes for a few years. He is extremely professional and delivers fast friendly service year after year. During this pandemic he was able to expedite my taxes so I could file in a timely manner and gain access to the various government provided packages. He was available via email and filed thru the electronic system to speed things up. I highly recommend his services for all your tax filing needs. read more

Yoel does an excellent and punctual job. Who is looking for more in a tax preparer? His fees are reasonable, especially given the pain I'd otherwise endure slogging through opaque fiscal legalese. Thank you Yoel. 2 years running, and I can see no reason to change preparer. read more

Stellar service! I was stressed about my taxes -- I needed to do 2018 and 2019 taxes which included out of state jobs, all during coronavirus. Yoel made the process painless and streamlined, as well as very affordable! I think it was less than or about the same as if I had done them on TurboTax. Before I knew it, my taxes were filed and I'm happy! Thanks Yoel! read more

Yoel helped us last year with our taxes and did a great job. We were so pleased we will continue to do them with him moving forward.

Great service, professional advise ,prompt and great pricing on tax returns .would highly recommend them.

Yoel has been my tax hero 3 years now. He knowledgeable and prepares my taxes even when I am traveling for work. Very accommodating and is available via email or text when needed. He is awesome and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a tax hero. read more

Another year, another great service from Yoel. My taxes this year were less complicated than last year but I still hit Yoel up to them because it's so hassle-free and you have to hardly anything. My husband ran our taxes through TurboTax and we are still better off with Yoel's skills. Trust me - he should do your taxes! read more

Yoel was able to help me out in the midst of the pandemic with a pretty quick turnaround as well! Really pleased with his services over the past few years. read more

30+ Five Star ratings can't be wrong! Yoel is the best. He is patient and explained what I need to do very clearly. He went above and beyond any accountant I've ever used. His prices are excellent and he wasn't fazed at all by my horrific situation. I'd give him six stars if I could. read more

Yoel is a very knowledge and the best accountant I've worked with. He has done a few of my tax returns which included W-2's, 1099's and K-1's. Price is extremely reasonable too. He has my highest review for anyone that has doubts. Thank you again Yoel! read more

I was so stressed about doing my taxes in 2019, as I had three W-2's, investments, 1099's and different healthcare plans. Yoel took care of it so quickly and did it with accuracy. He did mine for 2020 as well and I had no issues. Will continue going to Yoel!! Amazing price and great service. read more

This was my first time getting my taxes done outside of TurboTax/or with my parents. What an easy process! Yoel is a very efficient communicator and if you read the website clearly and provide what he needs you'll have a quick turn around. I personally submitted the form around 10PM and the next day by lunch I received a phone call to clarify a few a things and a few hours my taxes were done and ready to sign. I will definitely use this service again next year. read more

BEST TAX MAN IN NYC!! Yoel is patient and extremely good at what he does. read more

After years of trying to find the right accountant, I've finally found Yoel from Refund Zoom. He charges very little and does a lot. He's found me the most deductions compared to all previous accountants that I've used. I am very satisfied with my tax refund this year and would highly recommend Refund Zoom to anyone who wants to maximize their deductions. -James N. (Brooklyn, NY) read more

Great service, streamlined and efficient with exceptionally reasonable rates.

Yoel helped me with my taxes for the third consecutive year and I couldn't be more satisfied. He was recommended to me and I'd recommend him to anyone looking for help with their tax return. Yoel is a clear communicator, knows how to navigate the tax return process well, is organized, and he's thorough. Thank you again, Yoel. read more

I contacted Mr. Friedman about filing a very straight-forward tax return (basically two 1099-misc forms). He asked me to send him some information/documentation by email and I did not hear back from him (despite several emails I sent him). I called him the day before the filing was due and he had clearly not even opened the email I sent him. Therefore I had to give him all the information, again, by phone. Moreover, I later found out by a letter from the department of taxation and finance that Mr. Friedman had done my taxes incorrectly and underpaid, for which I must now pay a fee. When I told him about this his reply was "I guess you gotta pay it. I´m sorry for the inconvenience". For this Mr. Friedman charged me $175. I would stay away from this guy. read more

Yoel set up an a Sunday appointment with a few days notice, which is greatly appreciated this time of year. He explained pricing in advance, and there were no surprises. He estimated 25 min, my situation is that I am a first time home owner, I bought and sold stocks, rolled over a 401k and IRA account, and made many charitable donations. He kept very close to this time. I brought him all of my documents, and he pointed out some duplicate and ofhers not needed and shredded them for me so I wouldn't have extra clutter. He scanned all my documents, and gave me the option of printing my return or email only. Before I came I started doing my taxes, but decided to get professional help and Yoel got me a slightly higher refund than I had come up with, enough to cover his fee. Glad that I hired him for peace of mind, he was pleasant and seems to really like his job and cares about doing it right. I received an email right away with my return attached. read more

Um, there's a reason Yoel has only 5 star reviews! After discovering Yoel and his amazing service this year, I'm actually excited about my tax return next year b/c I know I have such a trusted professional to work with! My personal taxes are probably a 7/10 on the complexity scale, and for the very reasonable pricing and peace of mind I get working with Yoel, I will never be going back to TurboTax. read more

Great fast service at a fair price. Yoel fit me in 30 minutes after I called. He also got me the largest return I've ever received. Thank you Yoel! read more

Yoel has done my taxes since 2014 and is a great accountant, very fast, and reasonably priced! I would recommend him to everyone.
