I reached out for far more than simply taxes, and my questions weren't answered, the communication wasn't great, and my asking for additional services was just punted down the line. I'm sure giant practices would be fine, but if you aren't one, find someplace smaller. Unless you're a whale of a client, they'll basically just do your taxes and then otherwise ignore you.

Absolutely unacceptable in every conceivable way. I called due to the wonderful reviews online and…read moreneeded help with tax information that was related to inheritance, gift tax. I was met on the phone with rushed condescending questions one after another by the man claiming to "having 20 people on hold" and "Im already taking up too much of his time at 7minutes, because he only ever spends 5 min on any phone call" after he asked about my situation which I had flat out explained was a bit complicated due to my Mother being very ill & I really needed guidance figuring out taxes with my family inheritance. He interrupted me on a very short call by cutting me off and demanding fast answers which I started the conversation by saying it was complicated. I was confused. His demeanor was unbelievable, and hard to believe he has any experience and especially with 5 star reviews. I would have been happy to pay him for his precious time yet he repeatedly told me verbatim "I only give 5 min on the phone". I told him thank you for your help and closed the call. I need advice on gift tax Im receiving from my 80yr old dying mother after selling a family home. Im not asking for anything free. I told him Id be happy to pay, even. He could have set up an appointment or said if its too complicated to call a different accountant. He did not. I hate writing bad reviews. I rarely do. I did call back to tell him I was going to do so, and was in tears because My baby died and am living in poverty right now waiting on a large sum of money in a 300sqft apartment due to having to sell my home(which I told him)& REALLY need help with the taxes & what to do. Im shaking writing this review. Im a nice person who is struggling to go day to day. Perhaps he is only getting reviews for helping others with their tax returns. That is fine, but he could have just taken a few minutes to tell me he was ill-equipt and maybe even steer me in the correct direction. If you need a person that is caring and can give you more than 5 minutes on a call, This is not your person. You can't treat people in a way that makes them literally break down when you are a professional and be apathetic about the loss of a baby and needing to get the money & tax info and it taking more than 5 min. Just remember you never know what people are going through & you as a professional need to listen & take the time to set up an appointment or refer them to someone more competent. Im trying so hard and this 7 minute call was nothing but a slap in my face. I could and would never treat another human this way. Sometimes things are more difficult than you can handle & that is perfectly fine, but 7min is not "far too long" and lying about having "20 people on hold" to someone in a vulnerable place, it shouldn't be difficult to just be human. Can't we treat each other with kindness and compassion? Here the answer is clearly, NO

I can say enough good things about Al Amir and his team at Hajiani. They're amazing…read more When I first met Al, my tax situation was a total mess: he helped me get everything in order and back on track. He was patient and reassuring and I never felt judged for how disorganized I was. He totally saved me, and since then, whenever thorny tax issues have come up, Al and his team have been there for me. When people ask me if I know a good accountant, I tell them I know the best accountant in Boston, and to drop everything and call Al. Multiple times, those people have come back to me and said, "I can't thank you enough for telling me about Al Amir. He's completely saved me." So, let me say the same to you... If you're looking for an accountant, drop everything and call Al. You won't regret it, I promise. And years later, when people ask if you know a good accountant, you'll be able to "save the day" for them too by telling them to get in touch with Al & his team.
