I've been doing my own taxes for over 30 years. It's a pretty comprehensive return with lots of…read moreschedules, and I've been doing fine with it until my son started working last year, we started contributing to an IRA and 401k for him, college, etc. For the first time in 30+ years, there was a "new thing" to account for. Due to a forced 401k distribution/rollover/tax withholding, etc, I was a little unsure about how to handle it. I had an idea through research on the internet (and multiple LLM conversations), but I wanted to talk to a CPA or Tax person to confirm. I sent out a bunch of requests on Yelp to get quotes for a conversation that I estimated would take no more than 15-30 minutes just to make sure my understanding is correct. I got a bunch of replies ranging from $100-$385. Somebody even said I needed to complete an engagement letter to have the conversation! CBX CPA sent me a message in the middle of the night with a very detailed list of what I needed to file on my taxes and my son's and what to rollover. He also gave me his number and said, "Give me a call any time tomorrow..." No quote. Just good and clear advice on what to do. He even followed up with a second, "Sorry Mike, I forgot to add..." email and an example of what he meant. I currently do not need any other accounting/tax assistance, but if I did, I would call out to Cristian -- not because he's necessarily "any more right" than any other CPA -- that's why they are Certified: so there is consistency across the industry and a minimum knowledge about the rules so any good CPA will give you more or less the same answers, conservatively, even though they may differ depending upon how "creative" they are in interpreting those rules. I would call out to Cristian because he clearly values *MY* time and money -- not just his. I like to do business with good human beings who, to some degree, treat business like it's part of a community and not just a capitalist market. Recognizing that my need "wasn't a big deal," and taking a few minutes to type out the solution (*with detailed instructions and even sending a follow up email because he thought of something after he finished the 1st message*!) with no request for compensation speaks more volumes about him as a person than people who have paid for the service, in my mind. He's giving his expertise to answer what he felt was a simple question (but it wasn't so simple to me) out of the goodness of his own heart after evaluating whether or not he needed to charge for that expertise. This isn't common place -- I sent out 15-20 requests via Yelp describing my problem in detail and 60% of responses said "I'm too busy," and all but 2 of them said, "here's a quote for $100-$380." Two CPAs took time to write me actionable information, and CBX CPA's was the more detailed (though both were thoughtful and good). If he can be this complete in answers for a person who isn't paying him a dime when he has a CPA and it's tax season where he could for every minute, then how complete, thorough and diligent do you think they will be for a paying client? He didn't take my money so the least I could do is take the time write a truthful review and make this recommendation: If you're like me who wants even business relationships to be more than transactional but also with a person with grace who will help you out when the only self benefit being that he knows he did a nice thing for another human being when he could have charged for it and willingly been paid, then if you need a CPA, take the time to give Cristian a call to win your business.

And when I propose to meet him in the vicinity of where he lives, days later I still haven't gotten a response. Doesn't care at all about ignoring and inconveniencing others.
