I have been stressing out over my 2018 taxes way before 2018 was even over. LOL.. It was my first…read moreyear of electing as an S-Corp. Majority of my income was coming in under my business with no taxes being deducted so I knew I had to pay. I was pretty sure i was going to owe like 10k :( .. I chose OG bc of the great reviews (thanks yelp!) Before going in I was actually nervous and a bit ashamed bc as an adult I have know idea about taxes yet I decided to elect as an S-Corp lol. Then I finally came in & was seen by Eli. Here are some highlights of my experience: Eli is very knowledgable and is able to explain everything easily so that people like me who feel like taxes are a foreign language can understand. I came in assuming I was going to owe so much bc I had no idea what I was doing or how taxes even worked.. but Eli answered all of my questions with patience even though I know I was probably asking the same question over & over lol. Now for 2019 I will not be stressed! Eli also shed some light on things I had no idea about like how putting money in an IRA can really help to save on how much I owe in taxes, and how I need to go ahead & pay estimated taxes twice a year, and other business related matters that as business owner i needed to know & did NOT beforehand. Before your appointment they give you this great "tax planner".. it pretty much lists out everything that you can & should be writing off on your taxes & allows you to put in the totals. This was so helpful.. it really helps you organize everything. I called with a question & was quickly directed to Eli which was nice bc I thought I was going to have to email or wait for a call back, etc.. Jane at the front desk is also very helpful, polite & accommodating. Overall, I highly recommend. Especially if you have no idea what you're doing bc I know I cant be the only one. I left feeling so much better & at ease after it was all over.

Mr Karczewskis lack of respect and courtesy is enough for me N OT to recommend him to anyone!........TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN USING THIS PERSON.....I STILL HAVE PROOF ON MY 1040...THIS INDIVIDUALS ATTITUDE YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD ON....MY REVIEW IS NOT ON THE MISTAKE BUT WHAT TRANSPIRES AFTER HE MAKES ONE....THE LACK OF INTEGRITY WHENS HES COST YOU 4 GRAND , BLAMING THE CLIENT AND TOTAL LACK OF RESPECT....HE STILL WONT ANSWER THIS REVIEW..I HOPE HE SEES IT!...Guys like these unfortunately are a dime a dozen..

​UPDATE: Retaliatory Consumer Deception (Astroturfing) On Monday, July 13, 2026, Rachel Michaelov…read morebypassed my retained legal counsel and texted me directly in a bad-faith attempt to pressure me into deleting my review. I declined. Immediately following this, Ms. Michaelov and her agents launched a coordinated, fraudulent review campaign on their Google Business listing to bury my warning. Prior to this date, the business had not received a single public review in over six months. ​To artificially inflate their rating, she utilized immediate family members and employees posing as neutral retail customers: ​Reviewer 1 (Eli Ran Pinchasov - Son & Employee): Posted a positive review on July 13. His public Facebook profile explicitly reveals his employment as "Works at Empire Tax Advisors." No disclosure of his employment or family relationship was made, directly violating FTC guidelines. ​Reviewer 2 (Joseph Pinchasov - Family Member): On the same day, two separate accounts sharing the owner's immediate family name posted repetitive positive reviews claiming to be a repeat client. ​By fabricating positive peer reviews through immediate family members and employees, Empire is actively engaging in deceptive advertising ("astroturfing") in direct violation of NY General Business Law § 349 & § 350, and NC Gen. Stat. § 75-1.1. ​The owner publicly admitted on April 26, 2026, that she has operated her companies in "chaos mode" for many years, surrounded by "chaos people." If you are a small business owner looking for competent, ethical accounting, look elsewhere. The Upcharge Trap: After a $5,000 deposit on August 27, 2025, I received my regular $1,000 monthly fee for September just days later, followed by an additional $1000 UPCHARGE later the same month to complete the already promised and agreed upon work. However nothing was done, not even a welcome onboarding email with instructions until 30+ days later,  and $7,000+ in collected fees. ​Despite our onboarding call and paperwork laying out my needs prior to receiving a monthly cost, they continued demanding unjustified UPCHARGES of $2,000, $1000, $500, and $250 for services agreed prior to onboarding or signing any agreements as included in the scope of work, without any mention of costing extra. Do not fall for this trap. You are paying them to keep up charging you, only to deliver defective work, no work at all, or halt all work product unless their unexpected and unagreed upcharges are paid. ​Unless you are ready to pay Rachel $10,000 for defective services, and then an additional $10,000 to $100,000 in legal fees to recover your $10,000 investment, look elsewhere immediately. The decade-long public record shows this is a business model rather than a one-time event. Instead of learning from their mistakes and making customers whole, this business resorts to constantly changing names and creating dozens of misleading profiles to dilute complaints. They are relying on the assumption that small businesses lack the $10k required to hold them accountable in court.
