Chris is Hands down the Best!!! If you want the Best call Chris.. I been using Chris for almost 10 yrs. Chris keeps up on all the new laws and really works hard to protect her clients!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Christine Reynolds. Our last two tax years were disastrous and she was terrific about reviewing our old files and getting us set up for success moving forward. We valued her retirement planning advice. She was pleasant, knowledgeable, and professional!

Christine is a very experienced tax preparer and, we have the utmost confidence that she does every thing legally and by the book. That is peace-of-mind for us. We have had her do our taxes for 7 years now. We highly recommend her to anyone that needs an experienced tax person. Armando

Came to Christine on a referral as we had an agricultural business, two full time incomes and our tax consultant retired. I now wouldn't go elsewhere. Christine is a knowledgeable and professional tax consultant who puts up with me, a terrible procrastinator when it comes to taxes! I highly recommend (and have) Christine Reynolds.

Christine is thorough and looks for different ways to approach our yearly tax preparation in order to save us the maximum allowed reduction in our tax liability. She is patient with our questions, and makes it easy to understand our alternatives. We are very pleased with her help in preparing our annual taxes.

We have been with Christine for a couple of years. She always answers our questions and keeps us posted with any new information. She is very detailed and if she doesn't have an answer she will research and get back to us. Would recommend her without hesitation!

Christine took over doing my tax returns from my former CPA (over 20 years.) She has done my taxes for the last 3 years and has done a incredible job. I own 3 businesses in Modesto so my return is very complicated and intertwined. She is even in the process of "cleaning up" my 20 years of Quickbooks entries to make my work more streamline. I highly recommend her work!

Chris is easy to talk to, very thorough and very knowledgeable as well as informative. She keeps us up-to-date with any changes in tax laws and regulations. She breaks down the information in a way that is easy to understand. We highly recommend her.

After 40+ years of running the same business from the same location and using the same tax preparer, we moved to Modesto. With some trepidation I searched for a new accountant/tax expert for our somewhat complicated tax returns. Using the only resource available, we asked our daughter and son-in-law for assistance. They have been in the area for several years and spoke to several of their friends and business associates. Christine came highly recommended; and we now agree wholeheartedly. Besides provid

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications should I look for in a CPA?

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.

How do I find a CPA in my area?

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.

What’s the difference between a CPA and an accountant?

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.

How do I know if a CPA specializes in my needs?

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.

Should I check a CPA’s reviews before hiring?

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.

How can I verify a CPA’s license?

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.

What questions should I ask during a CPA consultation?

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.

How much should I expect to pay for a CPA’s services?

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.

Can I work with a CPA remotely?

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.

How do I assess a CPA’s communication skills?

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.

What red flags should I watch for when screening a CPA?

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.

Should I choose a CPA from a large firm or a solo practitioner?

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.

How often should I meet with my CPA?

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.

Can a CPA help with both personal and business finances?

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.

What should I do if I’m not satisfied with my CPA?

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.
