We worked with Keese, and he was really educational when it came to preparing our tax return. As our family is growing, it's nice to know they will do their best to keep us informed about any potential credits we can get. It was a busy season for them, but if you want to sit down with someone, Keese was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They are pricey, though. It really depends on the value you're getting and whether you can afford their rates, so definitely take a look at their engagement letter for prices depending on the service you need. Overall, I recommend them if you want a long-term relationship. Because it's an investment, I predict the value will only increase as we continue to work with their team in the long run.

I've had another tax guy in the past who wasn't near as professional and reliable, so it's nice to know our taxes are done the right way.

I was with this firm for years. How it ended is why I'm writing this…read more My LLC's 2024 California return had errors in the ownership percentages that threw off the PTE tax allocation. I found them, not him. I asked him to fix it, he amended the return, and then never sent me a copy of it. So the only 2024 return I ever had in hand showed an overpayment of about $3,600. The actual corrected number was about $1,400. When I brought on a new accountant, I gave him the outdated one, because it was the only one that existed as far as I knew. That wrong credit carried into the next year and I got a state notice for roughly $2,500 plus penalties and interest, all because of Sam's mistake. That's fine. People make mistakes. I raised the issue with Sam on June 6. To his credit he owned it at first. June 18 he wrote that he wasn't going to pass the blame and that he'd get the notices and cover the penalties and interest "as I always do for other clients." Then again on July 1: "I am willing to work for the notice to reduce the penalty. I will take the responsibility for that." Then he went quiet for a month. Emails ignored. Two messages left with his office, never returned once. Nothing filed. Penalties running on MY account the entire time. August 5 he finally wrote back, and only because I'd given him a deadline. Not to file anything. But instead to demand more money. He said: "I told you that the open invoice should be paid first. It is very clear. That is my condition." He would not file the abatement unless I first paid him $1,010. That invoice is its own story. He billed me for the 2024 tax return when it was originally completed, I paid it in full the day it came in. Months later he told me the number was wrong and said i need to pay more, on the same return work that had to get amended for his errors. I said no then and we both closed it. He dug it back up 17 months later to get out of something he'd already committed to twice in writing. I ended up filing with the FTB myself. So here's where I landed after years of paying this firm - Sam cares more about collecting every dollar he can than about doing the work or keeping his word. A few hundred dollars of his own mistake wasn't worth an hour of his time. $1,010 was worth two months of mine and lies. Get yourself an honest CPA with integrity. Sam, unfortunately, has shown that he is not that.
