    I had a bunch of issues with my previous CPA that I had engaged which that left me with little…read moreconfidence and time that I would get my tax situation sorted out in time for the year. Since I had only been using TurboTax before, I didn't have much experience in working with professional tax advisors and I contacted Yan after reading some reviews on Google/Yelp. The experience of using her for my CPA was completely different compared to the previous one I had. She was very detailed and meticulous in checking each detail of my situation, and also didn't pretend to know everything - if there was an issue that she wasn't clear about, she didn't hesitate to look up the necessary IRS documentation to make sure that we weren't making any mistakes. Even after our meetings in-person going over documents, she would also follow-up and double-check to make sure that I hadn't inadvertently overlooked something (and she did find a bunch of details that I had filled in incorrectly as well through this process!) She was also more interested in making sure that I understood the process and what each document was for, rather than just taking everything into her own hands and just asking me to "rubber-stamp" documents. I really appreciate her spending the effort to help with my tax literacy. Would definitely recommend Yan if you're looking for a reliable CPA who looks out for your interests, rather than just treating you as yet another client!

    Yan was very helpful and will use her for my CPA Tax needs. We talked extensively and she gave…read moresome recommendations but did listen to us.

    It was a very challenging season because of all the new tax stuff here and there. I was very…read moreanxious, but the team really helped my family and me with all our tax concerns. The service is just top-notch - I appreciate how they were able to answer all our concerns easily. Totally, getting them again in the next season because they give value to our time and resources.

    6 month follow-up update…read more. I know you may have been waiting with bated breath, so I'll try my best to keep this short. After 20+ additional emails (between both parties), we were finally able to receive our federal and state abatements from 2024. While this is good news and we are pleased with the outcome, it does not negate the unpleasant experience. After the last review, they took note and designated someone to call the IRS on our behalf, instead of repeatedly sending papers in the mail that the IRS would never receive. After receiving the federal abatement, we then had to ask them to help with the state abatement. In case you aren't aware (since I was initially not educated on this matter), you are allowed a 1-time federal and state abatement. Meaning, if you are in good standing, they will erase your fines, but not the interest. Some additional notes: 1. They are a global team, as their new name implies (Unified Global). This means that your team may be located in various time zones and countries. 2. Their software is straightforward and simple to follow, which I did appreciate. 3. Their timelines for filing, in my opinion, do not include a sufficient buffer if you have additional questions and/or corrections. We were asked several times to remove the last review, and after some thought, I have chosen to amend it. Similar to prior Yelpers, I believe that it they have improved their services, my initial review will just be background noise as the one off.

    I've been working with Rupa Singh at Sanjiv Gupta's office for a few years, and she's been great…read more What stands out most is how accommodating she is. Even when I reached out with last-minute requests, she was always willing to make time amidst her busy schedule and help me out. Rupa handled my taxes with great accuracy and attention to detail. She's thorough, explains things clearly. If you're looking for a reliable and client-focused CPA in the Bay area, I'd recommend her.

    Avoid this place like a plague. I hired them to do my taxes on March 19th and Sumathi Akilan was…read moreworking on my taxes. After dragging her feet endlessly we did our first review on April 11. In that there were several issues including missing local taxes. After this instead of fixing these issues, she decided to ghost me. I sent repeated emails and called several times on 13th and 14th but go no response. Worried that taxes were due the next day, I went there in person where I was told that she wont be able to help. When I asked for help with extension, I was told she will call me on 15th as she was busy but I received no call, email or help even to file an extension on 15th. I had to hire a different CPA in the last minute and faced unnecessary stress about risk of penalties. Not to mention had to spend significant money for someone to even agree on the last day. The funny part is this firm writes integrity and professionalism as their values on their website. But in practice they will shamelessly abandon paid clients and demonstrate utter lack of work ethics and professionalism. While its possible to have a bad experience with one person, this also reflects poorly on the firm that they have no oversight on how their employees are behaving. I received no apology from Sumathi or this firm. The only half decent thing they did is to refund my advance. Not without asking though.
