Our Lender Cesar Mendoza was phenomenal, he explained everything from start to finish and he still picks up my calls and replies to my messages and answers my questions fully. I am grateful to him for the help he provided me and my family to make the process easier and smooth. I will recommend my friends and family members to Cesar because I know he will provide the same quality work for them! Thank you Cesar!
I 100% recommend C & C Financial Corp. I have gone to other places and lets just say they weren't really trying. When I first came to this place, I met with both Tania Reyes and Alejandra Mendoza who explained everything in depth. I am a visual person and need details so the fact that they explained in detail without having to ask was great! I am so grateful for their hard work, dedication, and communication. Tania Reyes was always ready to listen, help and answer any questions I had. She not once hesitated
C?sar is Truly the BEST. He is vastly experienced in the Real Estate/Mortgage industry. He went above and beyond to help me close.

I highly Recommend you choose Cesar in your next transaction, he is really there to help people achieve life goals! Thank you Cesar I am eternally grateful ????

Having Isabel Chargois at C&C Financial as my loan officer was a pleasure. She explained the process clearly and was very straight forward.

I am very pleased with her work performance, positive attitude, and fast response time. She made the overall experience fun.

Having Cesar, and Mayra, and thier whole team, help us purchase our first home was the best descion we could have made. They explain to us clearly and in a way we could understand. Being first time buyer all the realestate jargon is very confusing, but they made everything so clear. We are so satisfied and grateful for the service they provided for us. We will definitely reuse thier service if we were to refinance or buy a 2nd home.
Having Ceasar and the C&C Financial team assist us with our first home purchase was one of the best decisions we made. From start to finish Ceasar and Helena were always there guiding us through the process and making sure everything was transparent. They went far and beyond our expectations. Along the process Ceasar told us something that made us understand he was the right person to put our trust in, and that was ?let yourself be helped so that I can help you?. I would like to say the same to other peop

Cesar was very helpful in helping me when I was trying to get my mortgage and since the beginning of the process he was there to help me and the process was way easier than past brokers. I'm very thankful for his help and def recommend his services.
Without Esther?s help I would not have been able to purchase my new home. Esther?s knowledge and experience goes beyond a normal lender. Without a doubt I would recommend Esther for your mortgage loan needs.
As a first time home buyer the stress of purchasing a home was extremely overwhelming. Thanks to Cesar, Jessica, and their team the process went by quick and they took care of everything. I entrusted this team and throughout the whole thing was kept up to date and they proved that I put my trust in the right place. I couldn't believe that starting the process in the mid of December, a deal would be closed at the end of January. My family and I thank C & C Financial for everything they did.
I am a first time homebuyer, and Ceaser and his team made their self available for all of questions and concerns. They worked with us and our budget. I would recommend them to all my family, friends and I will be going through them when it comes time to refinance also. Thank you again C & C !!
Cesar and his team provided a satisfying experience. We'd recommend C&C to anyone. They are honest people and work overall in a very professional manner

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.
