He's constantly up to date on the latest and greatest trends in the financial world, has a keen awareness of the market, and provides sound and educated advice for clients in a variety of financial situations. My husband and I got the white glove treatment from Bobby, who comes extremely prepared and organized. He's professional and prompt, while still being able to form personal connections with his customers. When we were in a jam and needed help with estimated payments, Bobby took us on, had our situation planned out in one 30-minute meeting, and managed to get us a refund beyond our expectations. If doing your taxes is as scary as a horror movie and you're looking for an expert to give you a quick and painless experience, you have to go to Bobby!

My first experience was Bobby calling me back (response time 1 day) in late Dec 2017 to give advice on some RSU sales. On that call, he saved me many times his fee in CA tax with a "hey, one more thing" - advice about Trump's SALT credit cancellation. That's been the theme: when you call Bobby and Cheri, they save you money. Bobby has consistently given great advice, and handled my taxes since I outgrew Turbotax. I am the typical tech worker: income, stock options / RSU, some investments and retirement accounts... they are definitely good at that - and probably other stuff as well. I can't recommend them enough.

Personality wise, he is a bit reserved but make no mistake, he is a wealth of knowledge. His filing fees have also been fair. One particular anecdote, when we were filing taxes last year (2024), I actually made a mistake in reporting how much estimated taxes I have paid over the year to IRS. Because of this, we miscalculated and were fined $1000 by IRS. Thai was quick enough to give a call to IRS and ask them for a waiver on the penalties since it was our first time, and he was able to get that waived off for us.

Taxes can be overwhelming, but Roslyn has a way of explaining everything so it actually makes sense. She is always friendly, polite, and extremely knowledgeable.

Every year she is consistent, professional, and efficient, and I always leave feeling confident that everything was handled properly. It's rare to find someone this reliable and easy to work with.

Two different local friends I trust recommended Anil, so I reached out to him right away. It has been SO amazing working with him, and I am deeply grateful to the people who recommended him! Anil is sharp as a tack, super friendly and down to earth, highly skilled, and he made the entire process feel totally relaxed, which is not something I'd ever experienced before with my taxes! I have an S-Corp with multiple sub-businesses folded into it, own property and a rental ADU, had complicated depreciations, and generally do not enjoy tax time! But every time I talked to Anil, he was just totally calm and friendly and positive, asking great questions, offering clear suggestions, and simplifying what had always felt painfully complex to me in the past. He also had very skillful suggestions about different ways to ensure I was getting the most benefits possible, while still maintaining deep integrity and feeling 100% confident that I'd have absolutely no hesitations if I ever got audited. On top of all this, his fees are super clear and simple, and highly competitive. My tax preparation with him this year cost less than what I've paid other people any of the past 5 years, and I feel much more confident about the filing! I feel so relieved to finally know I'm in good hands and will never have to look for someone new to work with ever again, or at least as long as Anil is around and doing what he does! I truly cannot recommend Anil highly enough.

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!

The gentleman there is very nice, but we didn't feel he took the time to understand who we were and where we were coming from. He chatted with my wife for some time, but mostly talked about himself. He made some assumptions about how we wanted to handle the duplex, which were wrong. He seemed to think we were much wealthier than we actually are. At some point he apparently triggered some deep feelings she had, but he did not seem to notice it care. She cried all the way home. After we got home, we consulted AI. It turns out that we needed a different kind of tax person, if we even need one at all. AI was able to put us on the right track. Thank you, Gemini . That's about it. I don't like confrontations so I am still in contact with this man, but the wife says just pay him for the visit and cut our losses.

We were very happy with the service Robert provided and will definitely use his service again. We got an appointment right away and he completed our returns and filed them electronically within a few days. He was thorough in asking for all of our information so that we didn't miss any possible deductions. The entire process start to finish was the most painless tax prep experience I've had in years. His price, I feel, was very fair. Our return is about medium in terms of complicated, with a few rental properties and to be honest he could have used that to bump his price. He didn't do that. I don't know Robert yet but I have the feeling he is above board and honest in his financial dealings, just had the impression he isn't someone who gets every penny he can in an exchange. His office is in his home and his home is on a remote road in the Santa Cruz mountains. We only needed to make one trip there as he was very willing to do everything electronically after the initial visit to meet each other.
