Very nice Lady with lots of knowledge in Tax Preparing and easy to do business with
Me and my son got our income tax done at America Latina Service and the service was very courteous and professional. Mrs. Janet was very nice and took her time to answer all questions regarding my 1099 as independent contractor. A month later my son went back to get his Live Scan done for his Pharmacy Tech license and he got the best price in town. I would definitely recommend America Latina Service to friends and family
They advertise Live Scan for $15. For me it was $67. The girl after me was quoted $90. False advertising! They attach a note after you've paid: "Please do not depend on the Live Scan technician to provide you with any type of follow up." Um, OK. So my paper just sits in the inbox?
SOOO SO rude. I got here at 11:45 and the man that was there told me that the lady who does the livescan would arrive in 10 minutes (mind you, the place opens at 10 AM.) 15 minutes pass by and the man decides to call the lady "where are you? It's already 12 and someone is here waiting for you". 12:30 comes along and she FINALLY shows up. Very rude service, I had called the place earlier that day and asked how much i'd get charged, they said $64 (and I had given all the info necessary so they can know how mu
Let me explain something to reviewers or people reading this who might think this is false advertising that they say $15 but get charged more: America Latina charges $15. This is independent of Department of Justice or FBI processing fees. You may be charged more or less depending on what you need the live scan for (license or permit, job background check, foster application, etc.) and what it checks (say, for example, whoever is requesting the live scan from you wants the Child Abuse Index checked, which

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.
