I am a physician and my husband is in the entertainment business.

Frank has been doing my taxes for a couple of years now and Im glad I found a place that I can trust and rely on as my taxes get more complicated. Not only he has experience in rental units but he is a person that keeps constantly learning. Everytime I hear about a new tax regulation he already knows about it or will find out for me. He has found tax deductions I can claim that my past preparers have missed. Frank takes the time to answer all my questions even the non-tax related ones. His office has great
Terrible service from Frank Amador. The first year he did my taxes was great but not this year. He wanted me to upload my tax info online but never explained anything to me. I had to reach out to him. Then I should have double checked but since l had no issues the first time he did my taxes I figured he had all my info but I was wrong. He deposited my tax refund to a different account. When I reached on a Thursday he said I had to wait until Monday for him to check. H&R Block is more expensive but this has

I love this place. After years of doing my taxes on my own, I was facing an audit from the IRS. A friend of mine recommended Ambassador Tax Services and not only were they able to help me figure out the audit, but they also help me get an amazing reimbursement for my subsequent years. I'm glad I found this place and will definitely continue to come back. Amazing customer service and very knowledgeable staff.

This was our first time doing our taxes with Frank at Ambasaador, and it was a great experience. He is knowledgeable and professional. He answered all of our questions as first time entrepreneurs. We highly recommend the services provided by Ambassador Tax Services Inc.
Who we thought was a professional and well knowledgeable tax person truly was not. Frank took months with all necessary tax documents and did nothing for us this time around. Excuse after excuse and tried turning the blame on us the client when he would not even return phone calls or emails timely. Horrible experience and not at all the type of person to trust for your tax needs, personal or business. I have emails to show the unprofessional manner if need be as well.
Thank you for years of service and always taking care of my taxes.
Very disappointed with the lack of follow up and responses from the owner. My husband and I supplied our documents back in Feb/March and cannot Get frank to respond with timing, status, or anything.i have texted, emailed, left voicemails as has my husband and we don't get a response at all here lately and previously we would not get direct answers to questions so basically no response to our questions. Last year he didn't even walk us through our tax results whatsoever and I didn't want to use him again b

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.
