Even if we're about 1hr 20min away (80miles) from this office she makes the phone appointments go so smoothly and easily. I've been going with her for the last 4 years I've only went into her office for the first time and after that I haven't gone to her office since then. I love the way she works and how fast she is to get the work done. I highly recommend her for anyone that is looking for a great tax prepare her name is Fanny!
Miguel has so much experience he gave a break down of the full process. I really did appreciate his approach on what is expected and offered so much guidance for future filing. Honestly one of the best taxes I have done. Don't do turbo tax!
Miguel helped me today! They are very knowledgeable and have Super professional service. I understood everything more with how he explained it when it came down to my taxes. Would recommend I was referred here by 2 family members.
Phenomenal service and super helpful staff. Fanny Cruz and her associates go above and beyond helping me with my taxes. Got a great return all for a bargain. The finest tax establishment in the South Bay.
my husband and I have been going to Fanny for about 4 years now! we are pretty far from the office but she makes the phone appointments fast, simple, and easy. I have recommended my family and friends to her amazing customer service.
Miguel and his wife are always so patient with their clients and make them feel so welcomed. They do a very excellent job of explaining everything to their clients and they do everything possible to satisfy everyone.
Fanny and her team always go above and beyond to help out with everything you need to get your taxes done right, even over the phone! Truly the best service, I recommend them 100%
Amazing and friendly staff! Very professional and quick service. Was able to get a great refund and get all my documents in order. Would recommend!
They are very polite and friendly. They educate you to be able to understand the process. Miguel and his team of experts are the best. I highly recommend.
Fanny is the best. She's helped me the past couple of years and wouldn't go anywhere else. I highly recommend any of them to help you.

Amazing experience and service. Can always trust that 2ServiceU will do a great job!
This place is amazing they help you out so much!! Thank you Miguel!
I can't believe how wonderful the service here with Miguel was. I can not recommend their business enough. He spent way more time with us than he needed to in order to make sure that my dads health insurance was processed and that he was taken care of. He stayed on the phone with Covered CA to make absolutely sure everything was filed properly. My family is truly appreciative. We will be coming back for all out tax and healthcare needs. Wonderful family owned business.
Miguel and his wife Fanny are excellent at what they do (to service you). They are very professional, friendly, experts and most importantly genuine people you just root for to always keeping succeeding. I've been a client for five years and will continue to keep coming for years to come.
My husband Jonathan and I just got our taxes done at 2ServiceU today and are very pleased with the service received from Fanny. Our daughter found this company online because we needed a new tax service since we just moved to the area, and are very happy to have chosen them. We look forward to many more years of having our taxes done here. :D
Kind, courteous, and efficient service every time! Thank you Fanny
I had to have a document notarized. It was done fast and even with added value by identifying and providing an additional document for my task - and that free of charge. Excellent service, forward thinking, friendly and a level of customer service way above what I had expected. Highly recommended!
I have been coming here since 2015 and Mr. Miguel always handles my taxes and he's very professional, polite and answers all your questions. The team makes you feel very welcome and is professional. Thank you 2ServiceU team. !!
They charge $15 for one notarized signature, however, that wasn't an issue. The bad customer service made us leave. We made a mistake on the signature and needed to make a new copy. The guy was going to charge us $1 for it, and said he was willing to let us walk out and go somewhere else for that $1. That's bad math for me, $15+$15=$30. Nasty attitude + $1= us taking our 30$ elsewhere.
Miguel Rojas was very kind and extremely helpful as well as patient in the entire process of preparing my taxes, I highly recommend this place, they take very good care of their customers.
The prices are very cheap and they made my taxes very fast, every year they always pay me my taxes I highly recommend them.
Miguel and the team are awesome! They will help you with everything you need.
Very professional customer service as always. 100% ????
Went above and beyond; you will really appreciate the family-owned atmosphere.
They helped me get money back on taxes when I thought I would not get anything.
Courteous staffing, Laura is exceptional.

Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.
Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.
A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.
Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.
Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.
Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.
Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.
Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.
Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.
During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.
Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.
Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.
For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.
Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.
Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
