So quick and easy, it was painless. All except for the part of having to pay the taxes due…read more Dropping off the paperwork was quick and easy without an appointment. Even with less than 10 days until the taxes were due. Several days later, we received a call that the preparation was done. When we arrived to pick up the taxes, Ian took the time to explain the last step of the process, including verifying all the information was correct. We were informed the taxes would be e-Filed the same day. The forms were all together in a neat folder, with the required payment verification forms were all placed in their respective envelopes, a ready to go. I'd recommend using EZ Tax Service, as we will be going back next year.

After a new home purchase and more chances of us forgetting to do something with our full-time and side hustle income, we knew it was time to find a CPA, and I'm so happy we found Allison after three CPA interviews. Allison was responsive and provided us tangible things to consider as our annual income tax bill becomes more of a challenge. I genuinely appreciate her transparent approach, her "human-ness" in how she looked at our situation, and I'm glad we worked with her this year. Thanks, Allison!

Bob, Gloria, Taylor, and the rest of the team at Coast Financial are as good as it gets for…read morebusiness and personal financial services on the Central Coast. Bob comes with decades of real world experience and really does an amazingly thorough job. Bob guided my family and I through a complex business purchase, a brutal state audit, incorporation, a home purchase, and retirement planning in the past several years and we have been so happy to have his advice and help. His expertise has helped us avoid numerous pitfalls and stumbling blocks we would have paid dearly for using a lesser accountant or bookkeeper (trust me - I have learned this the hard way). I was referred to Bob by an insurance broker that I trust. I have to admit, I was dubious about taking on all the services of Bob's firm at first. I felt I had "gotten by" (I would say I'm frugal, my wife calls it cheap!) with my own accounting degree and "a la carte" services of other CPAs in the past, but our business was growing and our financial position was becoming more and more complex. I bit the bullet and went all in with Coast Financial two years ago and we haven't looked back since. Bob and his team have saved me tens of thousands of dollars and countless hours of headaches, and we are forever grateful. We are always treated like family when we come by. Bob and the rest of his team really shine in terms of responsiveness and Bob is very generous with his time and advice, always taking the time to sit down and chat about changes in our business or tax law. I highly recommend Coast Financial services. In my opinion they are well worth their fees, and in my situation they have earned those fees back for me dozens of times over.

I was called and sent…read moreinfo to the wrong email and phone over and over again...even though we corrected them everytime. They weren't returning any phone calls I had to walk into their office. Another time I needed a notary. Left messages, Noone ever called back. The last tax return was awful as you might imagine. They answered zero questions I posed in my paperwork, instead they just filed my returns without that critical info. I also feel they line charge for many items that should just be part of the service. When called to get help with getting copies of my returns sent to my new tax preparer. They said it's $75 per year. I said this is part of why I left. She hung up on me. GO ELSEWHERE FOR TAX PREPARATION
