I don't know why other people seem to be enjoying Tehrani and Velez, but I can only relate my experiences: 1) I was never given a handoff from Gabe to the accountant working on my taxes, so I had no idea who to contact. 2) The new tax guy didn't tell me he filed an extension on my taxes. 3) The new guy was quite late in finishing my taxes. 4) Gabe himself was out of town the moment tax season ended, and was impossible to contact. 5) I was given poor communication throughout, and literally had to ask for someone to say the words "we're sorry" to me (they had no intention of apologizing on their own for poor service, communication, and organization). 6) Then I received daily auto messages to please review their services (okay! Here I am! Everyone happy?) 7) Then I told them I had a new accountant, and they sent me an offboarding checklist that literally includes the line: "Future Support: Take Note of Whom to Contact If Assistance is Needed: [CRS Accountant Name] [Insert Email Address Here]." In other words, I have no idea to to contact or how to reach them. ...This is completely in line with the communication I received throughout my time there, and a perfect capstone to my experience. I think they are probably competent at being accountants, but they fall short as genuine, communicative, actual human beings. Unfortunately. I am much happier with my new accountant. I do not recommend Tehrani and Velez. read more

We met with Bobback Tehrani for tax strategy advice, and it was incredibly helpful. Bobback took the time to understand our situation, explain our options in plain language, and answer all of our questions thoroughly. He gave us clear, practical guidance that helped us plan ahead and feel confident about our next steps. Highly recommend! read more

After 7 years as a client, service is top notch. No brainer go see Gabe for all tax needs.

Our business taxes were handled by a smaller firm for many years. A few years ago that firm was acquired by a much larger one. We saw the quality of our service suffer a bit while our invoices grew. We felt like we had become a number. This inspired us to research other options, which led us to Tehrani & Velez, LLP. We have a complex tax situation. Since we made the decision to take our business to T&V, our tax situation has been well under control. They have taken the time to understand the nuances of our specific situation and we have formed a positive relationship. We view T&V as a partner and we are confident in the advice they give us. Communication is very important to us. They are on the ball and easy to get ahold of. We are very pleased with our relationship with Tehrani & Velez, LLP! read more

I have worked with Bobback and Gabriel for many years. They take care of a number of my clients. They are amazing. They went to bat for one of my clients over an old tax debt and saved her $15,000. Not only is it a huge relief, but she will get that money back from the IRS. They also prepare taxes for many of my clients. They are a great team and they have an amazing staff. If you have to file taxes, need tax advise or need to decide to incorporate or not, see Gabe and Bobback. read more

I would highly recommend Gabe with Tehrani & Velez. Prior to hiring this firm, I was manually tracking all my business expenses (what a nightmare). As my business grows, I was finding my business needs growing as well, therefore, my previous CPA was no longer able to support my needs. Gabe is very responsive! I had accidently called him after hours one time by mistake and he still answered my call. I have only had interactions with Tobe and Gabe but both guys are EXCELLENT, professional and very knowledgeable. read more

Love this CPA firm! Their team is so efficient and knowledgeable! They are easy to reach and keep you updated throughout the year on new legal laws and dates. During 2020 things were very up and down, this firm kept us updated and in the know! We appreciate you so much! read more

Bobback and his team have handled my corporate and personal taxes for about 10 years. I am 100% confident in their abilities. Linda is competent and thorough and has been working on my business financials. Monica is always pleasant when she greets me on the phone. I have referred many of my clients over the years and have not heard a single complaint from any of them. That says everything to me. They take care of me and my clients. My hat is off to Bobback, Gabe and the team that they lead. Well done guys!!! read more

I would not recommend this firm if you are a brand new and first time business owner. I reached out to Bobback to create an LLC, and to do my personal and business taxes, but then things shifted to one of his assistants rather quickly. While they filed the paperwork to create my LLC, it was a very difficult process due to the lack of timely communication. Timely communication is going to be a reoccurring issue here, but besides that issue they are also not very user friendly for those who don't know certain tax terms, paperwork, and explaining the questions you will have on the processes. Trying to reach Bobback's assistant with questions was a huge hassle; whether it be by email or by phone. You either have to set a google meet date with Bobback at a certain day and time on their website for a phone call, or the assistant will take a long time to respond through email. Questions I had through email were either met with a generic reply from someone who wasn't the assigned assistant, or the assistant taking a long time to respond to an urgent request, or another request with setting up another google meet appointment with Bobback again. Bobback completely ignored my emails and calls when I did try to contact him directly. It was a very frustrating experience for me, and just trying to reach someone who could answer my questions was a very complicated process when it didn't need to be. It seems that the people who work here go out of their way to make it difficult to speak to him and you have to go through equally unresponsive assistants. On top of that, this firm messed up on the S-Corp election form for me when they sent it to the IRS, because they just had me digitally sign it when the IRS requires a physical handwritten signature. (I did not know this and they didn't communicate that to me) Ultimately, The IRS ended up rejecting the form because of the digital signature and my company is not even an S-Corp because of that blunder of theirs. For the small businesses like me who are very evergreen and need more guidance than others, my experience with this firm has been a terrible and frustrating experience. They don't respond to questions and concerns quickly and completely, and sometimes even ignored emails and phone calls. Luckily despite all this I have found a better CPA that is more responsive and explains things to me in a way I understand. It felt like a losing situation all around because it was so difficult to even reach someone and ask them questions. And when their assigned assistants do try to answer your questions, I end up with even more questions than answers. I would not recommend this place, their staff is sloppy and unresponsive all around. read more

I needed a specific letter for my loan and Gabriel was very quick to respond and provided me help with what I needed very efficiently. I will definitely plan to use their services for filing taxes and any other long-term needs - great customer service! read more

Gabe has taking care of my business for the last 8 years and he has been a tremendous in helping me grow my business with a solid accounting and financial foundation.

I am all about efficiency and I really appreciate how his firm has embraced technology to help its clients. read more

I just completed my personal and business returns with Bobback. He and his team did a thorough job of scrubbing my P&L and my payroll tax. They were always available by email or phone with any of my questions and I liked using their Calendly to set up more time to discuss minute details of my profit and loss statement. He also helped me claim a refund through the ERC program, which I hesitated to look into initially, but I'm glad I consulted with him. read more

This firm is absolutely fantastic! They totally saved my "assets"! Tehrani & Velez helped me revived my corporation, plus amended 5 years of complex business and personal taxes. Get this though, THEY DID IT ALL IN ABOUT A WEEK!!! Look, I can't thank them enough, because it's no fun having a suspended company with the Franchise Tax Board. This firm gets 5 Stars and some from me. Their excellent communications and ability to act efficiently and professionally gives anyone a model to follow after. So, if you need accounting or taxes done, you'd be treating yourself very special to hire this team!!! read more

I've been using Tehrani and Velez for our accounting needs for the past few years. Bobback takes the time every year to ensure we understand everything we need to know about our tax returns. He always takes time to patiently answer every question. Bobback and his staff are so polite and friendly, ensuring we feel comfortable throughout the entire process in understanding our submissions and the purpose of requesting various docs. We've been through several life changes (buying & selling property, moving states, job changes, factors for dependents, etc). I would highly recommend using Tehrani & Velez - you really can't afford to use anyone else if you want to maximize your returns!! read more

Very professional, great communication! Definitely your place to go if you are a small to mid-size business.

Everyone my wife and I have interacted with at Tehrani & Velez has been so helpful.

I highly recommend Tehrani & Velez for all your accounting needs. read more

I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and clients and have done so many times. read more

I really enjoy working with this company. Bobback has helped me with numerous issues and has saved me lots of money in the process. Any question I have (no matter how small), he answers promptly by email, usually faster than I think to recheck. I also never felt unfairly charged for anything, and I've had very pleasant experiences with his assistants when I've phoned or come in. Definitely would recommend this company out. read more

Bobback the CPA at SRH Financial is a knowledgeable professional with integrity. As an immigration attorney, I deal with foreigners who are new to California, the US, and the invisible hands of the IRS, EDD, BOE and other lovely government agencies. When my clients need assistance with tax filing and accounting matters, I entrust them with Bobback. I know he will take care of my clients, answer their questions, and resolve their accounting issues. This is what a professional advisor needs to count on from a fellow trusted advisor. And this is what I believe every client of Bobback's can expect from his team and him. read more

Mr. Hirbodi treated me with great care. I was referred to him by my bosses because I needed some help with my personal taxes. This was my first time going to a professional and I am extremely glad I did. He answered all my questions and did his best to ensure I got the most out of my tax return. He has a great personality and was very helpful by giving me some great advice that I can use in the future for my taxes and finances. I will definitely be referring anyone I can to him! read more

I first came to SRH in 2011 with a lot of baggage! I had to back file for the past 4 years and catch up on the current year end taxes. Bobback and team were extremley friendly, helpful and knowledgable which saved me time and money. Since my first visit I have gone back and will always go back for my year end taxes without hesitation. Bobback recently got my business incorporated and even helped with setting up banking and payroll. A good CPA is hard to find, I have been very fortunate to have found SRH and will be reffering them to everyone I know! read more
