    Silvia is FAST. Like "blink and your W-2 is already entered" fast. On top of that, she is insanely…read morefriendly -- the kind of friendly that makes you forget you're talking about taxes and not winning a small lottery. I walked in stressed, confused, and fully prepared for emotional damage. I walked out calm, informed, and weirdly happy??? Who has that experience doing taxes?? Silvia explained everything clearly, moved with purpose, and treated me like a human instead of a number. No nonsense, no attitude, no wasted time -- just competence and good vibes. If you want your taxes done right, quick, and without questioning your life choices afterward, this is the place. I would give 6 stars if Yelp wasn't scared of greatness.

    While there are some positive reviews now but don't get surprised by IRS letters a few years later…read more(see the photo), I had a very different and costly experience. Despite being told my 2019 tax returns were handled and filed by Jonathan (See photo), I discovered in 2024 via an IRS letter that they were never actually filed. After confirming this with the IRS, I had to hire a CPA to resolve the issue, resulting in significant penalties and interest. Also spending time and effort for this mess. I spent a lot of time speaking with the IRS many times. Avoid this company at all costs. I dealt with Jonathan, Samantha, Silvia, and Mason, all of whom were unresponsive and unprofessional. After dozens of calls and emails, they finally refunded my filing fee ($1500) but refused to cover the heavy penalties and interest their negligence and obvious fault caused me. I hired the lawyer to file lawsuit and will also report them to the IRS. I am also in contact with other victims of not filing (listed below) to join my lawsuit. My lawyer told me that they had multiple businesses with bad reviews and reputations in LA before they started business in Norand California. Don't let them scam you too. AVOID HERE. I will post my progress of my actions. Please see reviews from these people Jessie S review from Jun 13 2024. Zhang D from May 08 2023 Susan M from Oct 2 2022 Nunya S from Apr 24, 2021

I've been doing my taxes for the last few years, but will eventually need to create a new tax structure to accommodate growth and eventually find a tax firm to take over when time is becomes more of a premium. I found Impact Complex Financials on Yelp along with a 5 other tax firms. I picked the top 5 highest rated businesses in my area and reached out to all of them. Only one had clear and concise communication with a follow up and did not charge ridiculous fees...take a guess who was the clear winner = Christian from Impact Complex Financials Christian is a sharp young gent; punctual, professional, well spoken, knowledgeable and most of all honest. That gut feeling when you run into a good, decent human... According to his website he is a Certified Management Accountant and an Enrolled Agent as well...brilliant! I had a new client consultation with him and he answered all the questions I had without hesitation and also gave me an honest breakdown of my situation. I will most definitely be referring people his way. Be sure to visit his site. https://www.impactcomplex.com/ Also be sure to check him out on Instagram, so many useful and educational videos. https://www.instagram.com/chrisedoria/ Cheers!

    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.

    This firm went from exceptional to completely unprofessional overnight…read more I stayed with them for years solely because of Sam, who provided outstanding service. After the ownership change, it's clear that level of care is gone. What replaced it is a rigid, impersonal system that treats clients like transactions rather than relationships. They failed to notify clients of a major policy change regarding tax extensions until just days before the deadline--putting me at risk of non-compliance. When I raised concerns, their response was essentially: "This is our policy now, and if you don't like it, go somewhere else." No accountability. No attempt to fix the situation. No access to leadership. Just scripted responses from a support team. For a firm that benefited from years of loyalty and referrals, this is an incredibly poor way to treat clients. Avoid. UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO OWNER : Your response proves my point. After years of automatically handling my extensions, you changed the process right before a deadline, offered no real support, and told me to pay $240 or figure it out myself. Had I not followed up, I could have been penalized -- and now you're trying to turn it around and frame it as my fault by calling me "not engaged." After years of loyalty and referrals, this wasn't a transition -- it was a downgrade to a transactional model.

    Chris at FlexTax has been my tax advisor for about three years now, and I can't recommend him…read morehighly enough. He's incredibly thorough and detail-oriented - he double and even triple checks everything to make sure your return is accurate and that he has all the right information. He's also very responsive and flexible with scheduling, which has made it easy to fit tax meetings around a busy workday. Chris really shines with more complex situations. He specializes in startups and equity compensation (ISOs, RSUs, etc.), as well as investment portfolios, so if you work at a startup or have a more complicated tax situation, you're in great hands. He takes the time to walk through everything, explains complex issues clearly, and makes the whole process feel much less stressful. He goes above and beyond by looking at prior years and making amendments if necessary to put you in a better position for future tax years. I originally started working with Chris based on a friend's recommendation, and after three years as a client, I'm very glad I did. If you're a startup employee or founder, or anyone dealing with equity and investments, I highly recommend Chris at FlexTax.
