After lots of convincing my husband to switch Tax preparers I booked an appointment with Tanvir. The appointment was pretty basic and I asked any questions that I did have but I had let him know that I had not finished my write off at that point and that I would need to upload them before we completed the filing. To my surprise, my taxes got filed before the writeoffs were uploaded and I was notified by the IRS. I immediately called Tanvir on the following business day to try and remedy the issue concerned maybe there was a miscommunication on my part. He apologized for what had happened and said to get the write-offs uploaded and he would amend the taxes. The writer have since been uploaded and I have called the office 3x with no response. I have even tried to have my husband call with no response. The thing is accidents happen and I was not upset, but the lack of communication following this is not okay! If Tanvir had no interest in ever amending my taxes he could've at least communicated that to me. I spent almost $500 to file my taxes here and now I have to pay someone else to amend them. I just think this is a big thing to trust someone with and this experience was super disappointing.

    I had the same accountant/tax preparer for almost 50 years until he retired last year. After…read moreresearching tax preparers near me, I decided on MM Tax Preparers in Pinole. I feel very lucky to have found them. My tax preparer there was Ana Cardona. I was very impressed with the process they have there and especially Ana. She was very precise as well very knowledgeable about tax preparation. I learned things about my tax return that I had never known before. She answered all of my questions as well as going over my finished tax return with much detail. I brought all of the paperwork needed and we went over our tax return, line by line. What was also very impressive, after she entered my information into their tax program, we were able to complete the process right there and was told that our return would be submitted electronically that day. As our yearly tax refund is an important part of our yearly budgeting, to do this process so quickly was very unexpected and helpful. I would feel good about recommending MM Tax Preparers and, especially, Ana.

I came in for my appointment at 2pm and even though he saw me, he kept talking on the phone for another 20 min!! How RUDE! Finally after waiting on him he called me to his desk but gave me a BUNCH of WRONG information and how I'm going to owe taxes etc when I knew that was incorrect, he proceeded to act like he was in a rush and trying to get rid of me!! I had to open my phone and show him my research on HOW TO FILE THE ADDITIONAL FORM! What's up with that!??? You're supposed to be the tax professional!! After I told him how it should be filed, he said that will be $400 after his employee Daisy had quoted me $300-350 which is still WAY too HIGH! I was SO MAD AND FELT ABSOLUTELY NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS MAN, so I decided to bring my husband with me when it was time to pick up my amended taxes. When Mauricio saw me come in with my husband, he IMMEDIATELY jumped up from his desk even though he was sitting with 2 clients and spoke to me like he was this nice professional!! WOW!! So that's how he treats women huh?!! I paid with my CC and got charged an additional 4% ($14)!! Highway Robbery!! I called later and asked to speak with him (because obviously I wasn't happy with my experience with him) and I was told he still had clients but that he would call me right back. The office closed for the day and I got no call back. So now here is your review Mauricio. You need to do better with your customer service and read up on what you should already know! Lastly stop trying to cheat people out of their money! After this horrible experience, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

    I've been with Smeed for several years and have always received personalized care for my personal…read moreand business entities. It's been comforting knowing I have a team to help navigate the complexities of accounting and taxes...my business books have never been this organized and consistent. Michael is a tax wiz, and it's especially awesome knowing that he's so versed in the tax law and the minute changes that allude a lot of CPAs in my experience.

    This will be a long review, so TLDR: if you value honesty, integrity, organization, accuracy,…read more personalized tax guidance, and good customer service, DO NOT use Smeed CPA for their tax services. I unfortunately did not give much weight to the negative reviews I saw of them, and have now paid the price with my money, time, energy, and sanity. When my husband and I agreed to work with Smeed, we thought we were getting CPAs that we could trust and would help us navigate this complicated tax system as new business owners. Unfortunately, they turned out to be dishonest, not honoring promises made when we signed up, disorganized in planning our meetings and tax returns, and did not provide good tax advice for the stage we were at in our businesses, recommending we do an S-Election when we weren't even profitable yet (luckily, due to their disorganization, the documents were never actually filed). They didn't truly understand our businesses, or at the very least, greatly oversimplified them, and seemed to offer a one size fits all solution for tax planning. Not to mention, they are very unresponsive to email communications, which required us to reach out several times and in some instances having to call before we got a response. This entire experience was a nightmare that was dragged out for entirely too long. Our 2021 tax return was not completed until January 2023, and that was only after me getting fed up and letting them know I'd be doing a chargeback on my credit card if they did not complete our returns. Then they had the nerve to push the blame on us and our bookkeeping, when we were looking to their guidance all year and doing what they told us to do as our CPAs. They knew we were new business owners. They took it upon themselves to recommend entity types, all kinds of documents and meeting minutes we should keep and notarize, getting hotel event space quotes, but apparently ensuring we had proper bookkeeping was out of scope? They didn't even let us know what documents they would need from us for tax filing until it was tax filing time, leaving us scrambling, and all the other documents they had us working on all year turned out to be irrelevant and a waste of time. Fast forward to filing our 2022 tax return, we have found a CPA who actually cares enough to fully understand our tax situation and they have found multiple glaring issues with our 2021 return, requiring us to do an amendment. Smeed preaches education, which is what drew us to them as new business owners, but they are not educating you on information specific to your situation, just general tax loopholes. All in all, highly DO NOT RECOMMEND. They did not provide the support and guidance expected of a CPA, and we ultimately overpaid for an INCORRECT personal tax return.
