Bowen Accounting & Tax (Richard Bowen,CPA)

Went with Bowen Accounting for our tax return prep because of the high reviews- was not disappointed! The entire process was simple, straightforward, and we were able to do everything over email/secure upload. Richard was extremely responsive, and got us a HUGE refund compared to what was expected. Will definitely be using them again next year, and absolutely recommend to anyone looking for tax preparation services.

We were searching for a CPA in Bakersfield and came across Richard. What a find! We could not be happier with him and his service. He is extremely responsive and informative. Highly recommend!

Richard is honestly the best CPA. He bailed me out of a situation with my previous CPA's mis-handling of an IRS audit situation. He actually answers his phone and any questions you have. He is prompt, timely and communicative. There is a reason why he's consistently voted Best of Bakersfield.

I wanted to share my experience with Richard Bowen ? he's truly remarkable. He went above and beyond to help me with my tax questions, despite not being my appointed tax representative. It's rare to encounter such dedication and integrity in any profession, but Richard exemplifies these qualities effortlessly. His assistance has prompted me to seriously consider entrusting him with my tax affairs in the future. Richard is undoubtedly an upstanding citizen and a credit to his profession.

I am convinced a better CPA doesn't exist! For the last several years for my personal taxes, setting up a non-profit, to starting my new business, Richard Bowen has been beyond 5 stars! He has saved me a large sum of money, is faster than any accounting firm I've ever seen, and is very reasonable on his fees. You will not find a better firm to handle all your accounting needs. Thanks for everything Richard!

We had to find a new accountant this year and the transition was seamless. Very easy to send documents and communication was fast and knowledgeable. Shared insights on what I can do to manage my small business and understood our finances. Happy to have found Richard and we plan to use him for years to come!

Mr. Bowen is a "get it done" kind of guy. I like that. At the same time, it's an easy, step by step instructions, to get your taxes done lightning speed.

I have been a client of Richard's for eight years now and he has always provided excellent service. I recently moved out of state and was worried I would have to find a new accountant. Richard explained he has many out of state clients so I was relieved to be able to retain his services. I would recommend him to anyone looking for accounting services. Looking forward to working with him again this year...

Richard has done our taxes for a couple years now. He gets 5 stars because 1. He always answers my call/questions (whether it is tax season or not) and 2. He knows his stuff. He is very knowledgeable and current with all the new tax laws. He has excellent turn around time as well.

So, I normally Tax Season and Taxes in General are a very stressful experience, not this year though, Richard went through our Taxes and in the same day they were completed. It was extremely fast and painless and things I could do to improve my Tax situation was explained to me. Richard is extremely accommodating since I work Monday-Friday he was available on weekends. He is also much more knowledgeable then any H&R Block or any other Tax Prep place. I HIGHLY recommend Bowen Accounting I would give 10 stars

In the past, I had always done my own taxes. I had some different life changes and was afraid I was going to screw up doing it myself but was sure that I would owe the IRS regardless. I was referred to Richard by a friend and I am so glad I was. Filing with Richard was easy, quick, and efficient. He answered all of my questions promptly and helped explain things I didn't understand. And, in the end, I got a tax return I wasn't expecting. I highly recommend Rochard for your tax and accounting needs!

This year i realized that due to a change in my circumstances that i would likely not be able to do my own taxes utilizing an online tax preparation services. After googling for tax preparation that had good reviews i came across Richard Bowen.
