Ed is the best there is. Plain and simple. He's the kind of tax guru you go to when you've had it with the people who promise you HUGE returns and then simply turn around and get you audited the next 2 years... What sets Ed apart is his AMAZING work ethic (he will get back to you on a Saturday night with questions, even out-of-season), he'll prepare everything for you in a flash and usually can squeeze in a face-to-face when you need it, he'll be there for you via phone to answer any and all questions regarding letters, deductions, etc... and of course, he's a full-fledged CPA, not some kid or old lady that decided to quit her dayjob to become a real estate agent / "tax preparer" - he's the real deal. He handles a ton of my friends' business accounts and taxes and has been truly amazing to me from the get-go, and this is why I return to Ed, year after year, since I was introduced to him by my friend Patrick. You can pay a tiny bit less and get your taxes done by a walk-in place and miss a ton of cash or you can go to a shady tax preparer who doesn't really know what red flags to look for or in my case, tried to write off lottery tickets one year (I wish I was kidding)... ORRRRR you can come to Ed at Simons Accountancy Corp... get it done right. Have that peace of mind. Keep your money in your pockets and in your bank account. For me, it's a peace of mind and professionalism thing, plus of course the access he provides his clients. He's never missed once and for this I am truly grateful - can't recommend enough! read more

I had promised Ed Simons a review many years ago, on my own initiative, and here it is. In his work with me as an accountant, Ed consistently demonstrated professionalism and knowledge; and, that rarest of qualities, the highest professional judgment. I relied on Ed's professional skills and expertise when it really counted. Although it has been many years and Ed's practice has grown, I have not forgotten his work. I highly recommend Simons Accountancy. read more

Like many people, I am confused and scared by the thought of doing my taxes, sending in my taxes and being audited by the IRS. I am not confident in my math skills and am convinced I will do something wrong on my tax return. Finally, I have found a tax accountant who makes the process easy, painless and fear-free. Ed Simons walked me through my profit and loss sheet with kindness, confidence and sound knowledge of his craft. He made me feel in control, and for once I didn't feel like a total idiot about how I kept my records or my lack of understanding of the process. Simons Accountancy prepared my return in record time, and even sent them off online for me--no waiting in the post office lines for me! Even though I had a tax payment due, I was very pleased with the entire process. And the fees are incredibly reasonable. But the icing on the cake was the extra step that Ed and his company took for me. Many tax people had mentioned that I should be sending an amount of money to the IRS against next year's taxes, but never took the time to explain why or how. Not only did Ed explain why I should do it, but also when I received my tax return, there were also four envelopes addressed and filled out for me. This way I can easily send next year's payments to the IRS and maybe even get some money back next year. Never before have I received this kind of service from a tax accountant! If you want a tax accountant that goes beyond competence and crunching numbers, that provides exemplary service and results, then Ed Simons is the man to call. I can't recommend him enough. I know I won't use anyone else in future! read more

We've been using Simons Accountancy for our corporate returns for a couple of years now and I can confidently say that it's the best experience we've had after three other accountants (one of which was very expensive and well known in Beverly Hills).

We're treated with care and accuracy, and our business gets the individualistic attention it needs by the owner Ed. read more

They are a good as all the reviews a-test. I met with Ed several months before tax time, told him our issues. After using Turbo tax for 12yrs+ was a bit leery but knew it was time to hand it over. He was very efficient, quickly got it done after sending us the organizer. It was no problem and well worth the money. Just a quick drop off of organizer + tax stuff;picked it up when they called; took it back. DONE. He is a keeper and is young enough to do our taxes for the rest of our lives. read more
