Sam is the absolute sweetest. He's very thorough and it's super convenient to do my taxes with him because it's all online.

Working with Sam has been an absolute game-changer for me. While I've only used S&S for the past two tax seasons, I can confidently say that I'll be sticking with him for my future returns. I started considering getting a tax accountant the year I began a new side gig which I knew would add some complexity to my tax situation. I was still leaning towards just using one of the free tax software options out there since it wasn't any crazy amount of extra money and plus, they were free. But I decided to get a few consultations set up and after a few unimpressive calls with other offices, I ended up talking to Sam. Since then, Sam's always been refreshingly straightforward in his services. He doesn't waste time, but zeroes in on what matters most--maximizing my returns and minimizing my stress. Plus, I've never had to waste time going in-person and taking care of physical forms since his office keeps everything digital and makes my job as easy as uploading my documents. Despite my initial hesitation over the cost of a professional vs free software, Sam's expertise has proven invaluable. He's done an incredible job with saving me money and the peace of mind that comes from knowing my taxes are in capable hands is priceless. read more

Just got my taxes done with Sam and S&S Tax Service. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! From my initial call and speaking with the receptionist to finalizing my return with Sam, the staff was friendly and welcoming. Very happy to have found such a knowledgeable and pleasant accounting firm. read more

Amazing service, very responsive and overall very happy about my decision to go with S&S for all my tax needs.

Sam is super helpful, and staff is very friendly ! Sam was able to go into great detail of my business and personal taxes. Explained everything from A - Z and made me feel very at ease. I definitely recommend S&S. read more

I didn't end up hiring Sam, but he was super accommodating, friendly, and straightforward about his services and prices, as well as giving advice that he easily could've charged for. If I have a more complex tax situation in the future I'll be using S&S. read more

Can I give 10 stars? I've been with Sam for years. I came in, having used a lot of accountants before, but this was my first in LA. The reviews on here sent me to him. And they were right. Sam is super attentive and willing to work through any number of issues, and get you the best tax returns possible. He also offers advice on any number of financial issues, and we've also talked family life and more. I really cannot recommend Sam enough. I've been with him since 2018 and will probably stick with him until he retires. Do yourself a favor and give S and S a call. read more

I'll keep it short! Sam is the man! I know nothing about doing my taxes, lucky for me Sam knows it all! He explains details other accountants wouldn't take the time to explain. I appreciate this quality in people. See you when the government want more of my money! Thanks Sam! read more

Years later after my first review and I still come here for my taxes. Sam & Sam are really stellar and get my taxes done so quickly! I love coming in and everything is prepared and ready to go. Since when has taxes been so pleasant? They really make the process stress free. Don't do what I did and wait until you messed up doing it yourself. Tell them Delilah sent you, and they will treat you like family! Came in for a mistake that was made through Turbo-Tax and Sam the Owner was quick, efficient and made the process effortless on my end. I was so concerned I wouldn't receive my refund and they made sure they rechecked all my documents and fixed any errors. So appreciative of the work that was done. Great place to do taxes and I'd highly recommend to anyone who is looking for assistance. Moral of the story... don't try to save a buck and do it online. Have a professional like Samir & Sam help you ou read more

teach your receptionist how to answer the phone. being rude and not answering a question is just unnecessary. I simply just wanted answers on what services you offer and she said if your a new client we can't help you. wow. read more

My wife and I received excellent advice from a good friend to do our taxes with Samir. I'm thrilled that we followed this valuable recommendation! Samir and his staff were highly professional, and despite the busy tax season, they managed to schedule an appointment for us within less than a week. I wholeheartedly recommend this office to anyone who wants to be treated as a VIP and feels heard and valued. read more

Look no further Sam is all you could ever want from an accountant - I don't feel rushed and forgotten despite being a small client with limited needs. Really appreciate his communication and help making me and my family feel like we're in a good safe standing. read more

Sam was amazing! I was overwhelmed during the pandemic and he filed an extension for me. He also helped me organize my deductions and I was able to save a lot compared to last year. SO much better than H&R Block who I used previously. Anyway, I rather support a small independently owned local business. I will return next year for sure. read more

Sam helped me with my 2021 taxes. He was fast, efficient, and the process was painless. Glad that we'll have them moving forward with out taxes! read more

I've been using S&S Tax Service for the past few years now and have been very satisfied. Make your appointment and get your taxes done properly the first time. It's nice to know you're in good hands. Also, if you need any sort of notary done, they do that too. read more

Samir is beyond the best. I have never seen a person work so diligently and effortlessly at the same time. When I entered his office I was well over 200k in tax debt. When I left I owed a measly 2k. I got advice from several tax "professionals" but the best advice I got was to visit his office. How did I know everything was gonna be ok as he and his son Sam assured me? When I delivered my tax return to the IRS office in DTLA and the agent looked at my return and CHUCKLED upon looking it over. He said "whom ever prepared this return knew EXACTLY what they were doing." Problem solved NIGHTMARE over! "Game, Set, Match..." read more

Prior to trying out S&S, I had been going to another accountant for my taxes. I wanted a change (due to a variety of reasons), and a family friend recommended S & S. Similar to most people, I was skeptical at first, but I have to say looking back I couldn't be happier with my decision. The friendly environment and the wealth of knowledge provided by this father/son outfit is pretty great. Sam Jr. helped me, but both were really involved in the process, and both were great about keeping me in the loop. They aren't shy about asking questions to get the best possible return, and they ensure that you're comfortable with the process (since it can be stressful for many). I definitely also love that I'm supporting a small company! FYI: Both father and son are named Sam ... so try not getting confused ... I find that Jr./Sr. works best lol Stay Cheerful ;) read more

Couldn't ask for better and smoother interaction. Very professional, informative, nice, and responsive. It was a pleasure to work with Sam. He's really helpful and fast. Hope we can work together next year again. read more

Sam is simply amazing! Filing this year has been a bit of a mess due to several factors beyond my control. Sam was very thorough and patient while working with me to straighten it all out. So happy I found them- highly recommend seeing Sam at S&S Tax Services. Thank you guys! read more

Sam was so helpful and taught me so much about filing taxes... I feel confident now to file them myself, but he just takes care of everything! My appointment took less than an hour and I received my refund within a few days. Sam is super knowledgeable and personable, I look forward to filing my taxes with him! read more

Sam was very professional and straight up with me. Doesn't give you the runaround. Highly recommended

Sam was very nice and knowledgeable. Took the time to explain what the process was like and set the expectations on what we need to do moving forward. We will definitely be moving our family's relationship over. read more

Khalid took care of me when the iRS came calling after my return was filed. He called the IRS for me.

I looked around for a good accountant and met with various accountants. But none came close to the authenticity and transparency of S&S. I met with Sam who was able to explain to me in normal lingo everything regarding not only my personal return but business as well. After all things considered he took the time to provide me with options, and thought ls to reflect on regarding my financial future. This to me meant everything as it showed me he didn't just want to file my taxes and call it a day. He wanted me to succeed financially. For that im thankful and i highly recommend Sam. read more

Nothing special but they did everything correctly. I can't give them a low rating for not doing something special for me. They did their job and got me the correct tax refund. read more

Great service. Very knowledgeable and helpful people. Highly recommended. Today they proved their honesty and integrity.

I've been meaning to write a review about Sam and S & S taxes . I've gotten my taxes done here the last few years Sam is super knowledgeable always helpful and gets my taxes done on time. I've recommended Sam to countless family members and would say to anyone looking for honest and trust worthy accountant look no more. Thanks S & S taxes and thank you Sam read more

I have been filing my nonprofit and my personal returns with S&S for years. Deadlines and filings stress me out but they made the process so easy for me. They are amazing and very knowledgeable. If you need help with your taxes I highly recommended you go to them. Thank you so much S&S You guys are the best!! read more

Once my taxes became more complicated than I felt comfortable handling myself I asked around for an accountant my coworkers and friends were happy with. And found Sam! Sam Jr is very knowledgeable and I learn something new every time I talk with him. He gives me peace of mind for both my business and personal taxes. Nice new office in Pasadena. read more

Sam Sr. & and Sam Jr. are amazing! They talked me through my taxes until I understood what was going on (which is not an easy process, I must say. I'm kind of slow with finances). Sam Sr. has a LOT of experience in the industry and he is so knowledgeable and cool! Almost reminds me of my own dad :) And Sam Jr. is equally amazing and offered me advice that i would never have come up with on my own. Not to mention, great customer service from both of them. They're always there to answer any questions and make the entire accounting/tax process pain-free. I won't ever go anywhere else for help with my taxes! I am happy to have two reliable people I can turn to for all of my future needs! I highly recommend S&S Tax Service. read more

I have been a client of S & S for many years and this year I was super late on my taxes to no fault of my own (I was waiting on 1099's). Regardless of my horrible timing... they were still able to finish my taxes with less than a week to go. I could not be any happier with Sam and Samir! They are always there when you need them. Thank you both for the great service and sound advice! I will be recommending them to everyone I know! 10/10 read more

My wife and I did our personal and business taxes 2 years in a row with Samir. Both years we've tried contacting Samir over and over, with no responses. We had to show up to their office one time, only then he said: "I thought I send you the paperwork, so I didn't respond to your emails". We let that go... and wanted to continue using them. Well, since then we tried contacting Samir several times, with no response, even to this day. I even had our mom doing her taxes with him. I'm sad, how can I do business with my CPA if he doesn't call me back. Sad... in a way, this is how he will find out he is fired. read more

If you need help with your taxes, go to S AND S TAX SERVICES. The staff is amazing solving any issues with extreme profession. I've been doing my taxes for many years and every time I go out fully satisfied. read more

This year we were in a bit of a different situation with our taxes and didnt know what to expect. I used Yelp to contact a few different tax service companies and they were one of the only ones that offered a 'free consultation'. Freakin awesome! Thank God there are people out there that dont charge for every little thing. So I decided to go out there and met with Gevork (George) and in the beginning he kinda threw me off cause I told him I was shopping around and he was like "no.. you're going to do your taxes here". It was a bit of an awkward moment... But he totally took care of me, answered any question I had, and made sure I was satisfied with everything before leaving. During the whole process he was so nice! He reminded made me feel like family, like he was my uncle, lol. I wanted to call him Amo Gevork, haha! I will be returning to him for sure from now on and if there is anything I know that needs a good financial service company, I will be referring them also! He totally made my day/year. On another note... he had a mustache that totally reminded me of my grandfather. Not many men can pull off having a stache like that. If you need anyone to do your taxes, go see Gevork (George). He's awesome, welcoming, and will totally take care of you!! read more

Great service, great people. They know what they're doing and very efficient at it. Highly recommend them.

I highly recommend this place. They have helped me so much keep all the paperwork strait for my business and are always willing to help even when it's not tax season! I am forever grateful to meet Samir and Sam!! read more

Samir is the greatest!! My dear friend referred me to S&S, lucky for me. Do yourself a favor and don't take your taxes anywhere else. There are few things as important, delicate and personal as your taxes, so entrust them with a truly talented and dedicated professional. Samir takes the greatest care with his clients. You really see the difference when you have your taxes prepared by an exceptional accountant of Samir's caliber. A+++! read more

Samir and his son Sam are truly amazing people that will go above and beyond to help their clients. Over the years, I am happy to say what started out as a business relationship has become family. They understand that taxes aren't pleasant to deal with for most people and they make everything as painless as possible. They are experienced with all kinds of taxes... real estate, personal income, corporate, you name it. read more

A friend of mines recommended me here and they truly exceeded my expectations. Samir and his staff make you feel extremely welcome and comfortable. My wife and I were worried and Samir took great care of us. They all work with true honesty and precision. They care for you and not your money. They have true passion for what they do. We felt like family the way we were treated. I just started my bookkeeping company and Samir even gave me advice! What an amazing man! Offered his help to see me prosper and grow! I am definitely bringing all my clients to do file their taxes here at S&S. read more

Samir the elder called a couple of times, obviously upset about the review. Said he'd give me my money back if I wanted, he didn't know how this misunderstanding took place... In June, 2016, I told him absolutely everything that needed to be done!!! He explained (today) that there was another form he (apparently didn't realize??) had to fill out (Sch. E, business). Maybe the reason he didn't realize I needed that form was because he wasn't listening to what I was saying in June 2016? I don't know? But, I don't see how he couldn't, since I had everything written out, explaining my income, my rental income, all the deductibles that would have to be taken for the rental, etc. He said he could certainly do that, and that it would be $120 to do the taxes. Thing is, I really could use that money back!!!! Just reimburse me $150, the extra that was tacked on to the original quote. But I didn't write the review to get money back. I wrote it because I was angry, I'd read these YELP reviews and believed them!!! For all I know they're written by family members? Another serious problem I had was, I was applying to get a line of credit. Bank wanted Every Stitch of Paper I had!!! Seriously!!! So they of course wanted my 2016 tax returns. I gave them to the bank - several times!!! Then they asked me for a certain attachment from Schedule E (?) that wasn't in my Copy of the taxes!!!??? Sooo, I had to call and go Back up to the office and collect this attachment that wasn't included in my copy! You know, after all the rigamoro with these people, I didn't even bother to ask why the copy of my taxes they gave me were Incomplete!!!! I just wanted the paper and to get out of there as fast as I could. Can you blame me? read more
