Everyone I interacted with at Wicklund Financial Services were outstanding. Responses to questions…read morewere quick. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. My previous tax consultant of 20 years passed away in late summer of 2025. I started searching for another tax consultant in Hawaii and I came across Wicklund Financial Services. All the reviews were positive and glowing. I also found other services too. I settled on trying Wicklund Financial Services and have never regretted it. I was concerned because my tax returns involve California, Maryland and Hawaii tax returns. I was concerned that they wouldn't be able to help me. Working with Reyn Wicklund, it was clear he understood how to prepare my tax return. He asked all the right questions and uploading all the documents via Tax Dome securely made things so much easier and faster. It also helped me to organize my tax documents as Tax Dome guides you through the various documents needed as well as give you the opportunity to add additional documents outside of the usual categories. By the way, I don't live in Hawaii. I live in Maryland, but that didn't matter. Reyn was able to complete my tax return remotely in a very timely manner without any problems. I will continue to use Wicklund Financial Services. Reyn is extremely knowledgeable, responds quickly to questions and concerns, keeps you updated on the progress of your tax return and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Wicklund Financial Services for your tax returns. I am sure they are equally skilled in Financial planning and other services. The entire staff are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, very responsive to questions, concerns and inquiries and very easy to work with.

Kara gave us advice and helped us start our LLC (how to do it on our own so we do not get charged a…read morelot of money for an account or CPA to do it). She was knowledgeable about starting a small business with an LLC, so I will give her that, but after working with her more, my husband and I have decided she's just not what our business is looking for, especially since we are now growing. We were happy with her service in the start but overtime it was just not up to par. Yes, she can advise on how to start an LLC on our own and do our tax returns, but that is it. If you are looking for someone to help you plan ahead for your business for tax strategies and tax planning, this may not be the place. We only ever heard from her for our returns and that was it. Upon going with another company, we also discovered some forms we did not file but were supposed to, which Kara did not inform us of. For tax returns, there is a portal to download your documents, but there is no "list" or things that we should consider uploading, so it can be a lot of back and forth on- send your expenses, send your mortgage, send this and that or cannot finalize return, etc. It just seems unorganized and if you're dreading taxes, this will make it worse. I also had a return for a different state in 2022 that was not filed (unsure why a different company omitted it). However, I decided to do it independently since Kara mentioned there would be a nominal fee if she did it because she does not know about another state's filing regulations. I asked the previous accounting company if it would cause any problems since it was omitted, and they said it would be ok since the IRS has a matching system and will send us a notification if anything was excluded so we could wait for that. Upon getting the notification, we can decide whether to make an amendment. Kara failed to mention that part. We felt she just wanted us to spend more money to have her do it or something. We moved from MY Personal CPA to her because yearly we would get a different tax preparer so we thought if we went with a smaller company (First Choice Accounting) we would get more personalized help but going with a one person team means getting emails at odd times like late at night and getting missed. Also, even though I did not go with Kara submitting my out of state return, I got charged a one-time $150 fee for Kara reviewing the 2022 tax return which I was not aware of. She was not upfront about the fact that there would be a charge when she asked if I could send her my 2022 return so she could look at it to figure out why the other state W2 was omitted. When I brought up that I was not expecting a charge, she did not reply to me. Finally, she always apologizes for responding late. Her cat got spayed, stayed up late, and was busy. You call her, and she doesn't pick up, but she will reply via email which increases more of the back and forth. This pretty much sums up why we are going with someone else even if we have to pay $400 to part from her since she said she already worked on our return even though she was still asking for documents and more clarification.

The Q&A…read moresession was not very helpful as a new business owner because he basically sits there and answers your questions, but does not elaborate or speak in laymen terms. If you do not ask the proper question he does not help you understand Tax laws. I asked him multiple questions via email and he would answer the questions with very short answers that I did not even understand. When I confronted him on the lack of professionalism when answering my emails, he did not even respond.. It was complete waste of $450 and will not be having him do my taxes this year.

The Asato Family that owned KC Drive In found it and I immediately started looking for a local business that could digitize it. There are a number of digitization businesses on the mainland but I really didn't want to mail this treasure and risk it getting lost or damaged. I dropped it off to 808Burners. Opted to purchase a thumbdrive and have the files placed on that (vs. a DVD). Got a call a couple days later saying job was done! They saved it in two formats for me, too! I was so happy with their work that I went back later with some VHS tapes I had been meaning to digitize forever. Seriously, go and digitize your VHS tapes and cassette tapes before it is too late. They have a lovely YELP deal where you can buy a YELP voucher for $15 which is good for $30 at 808Burners. One use per visit. You can also purchase vouchers to give as a gift to someone. Located in Harbor Center, so there is ample parking. Service was professional and quick. Bonus was Ige's Aiea being located in same lot and I could go pick up food afterwards!

He did not recommend where I could receive the service elsewhere, nothing. It seemed like this guy is just chasing a buck... Customer service still counts. I strongly recommend contacting O'hana Notary instead of this company. They provide excellent customer service even when they did not offer the service I needed or you maybe inquiring out at the moment. Ohana Notary is knowledgeable about who specialize in what service in their field, on the island, that you are looking for and they will advise you on how to get what you need even if it is not with their company. That is integrity and excellence in customer service.
