Cyrus is Amazing !! We have worked with Cyrus 3 times. Our loans were all complicated , but Cyrus got them all funded with ease ! He is very knowledgeable and the best at what he does. I highly recommend Cyrus ! He will get your loan funded even as hard as the situation may be ! Dave
Cyrus was vital in assisting us with our recent real estate financing. He was very empathetic towards our financial situation, and offered solid guidance & problem-solving solutions towards the best path forward. He helped us obtain a significant loan for our transition from selling our house to find a new property, which we likely would not have been approved for if it wasn't for his expertise & network. Overall, he is very knowledgable in the mortgage industry and is someone I can trust. Thank you for al
Cyrus was great to work with through the refinancing of our multiple mortgages. He was very transparent and got us the best rates available on the date of locking. Cyrus was extremely responsive on all emails/calls/texts and gave us his personal touch, he was my single point of contact through the whole process which I very much appreciated. No passing on to other underwriters, processers etc. It was great to work with him on the approvals and have everything consolidated into one transaction. I would def
Earlier this year I needed to execute an incredibly difficult refinance half of the brokers/officers I spoke to either 1) could not comprehend or 2) told me was not possible to do without a completely unconventional loan with a ridiculous rate. From the very first conversation I had with Cyrus, it was clear that he was extremely experienced, knowledgeable and well-connected to the world of real estate financing. While he did not make any specific promises out of the gate on any final outcomes (which I appr
We just closed on a rental property with Cyrus and couldn't be happier. Buying a home is not easy, at least for me, and Cyrus was able to walk us through the best options and really took the time to make sure everything was aligned throughout the entire process. I felt we were very well taken care of and were able to get the best interest rate. I shopped around to confirm and Cyrus was able to beat them all. There's no question we'll be back again with our next purchase.
Was looking for a loan for investment property, Cyrus had the best rates. He is also available always! Very diligent and efficient at what he does. He communicated clearly and the whole thing went very smooth from the beginning. Turn around times were always fast and there wasn't a single issue in the process. Buying homes can be pretty stressful and working with him gave me comfort and confidence. Would definitely recommend and go to again for future needs.

We will be using him for any future deals and so should you!
I've know Cyrus for over 15 years and in that time he has handled multiple loans and refis for my wife and I. Each time he has: - Done the research to get us the best loan for our needs - Laid the options with the pro and cons in an easy to understand language. - Coordinated with all the parties involved to complete our loans. - Kept us up to date throughout the process. Moreover, as our kids started looking into buying their first houses, he volunteered his time to answer their questions and provided prea
I've been financing real estate properties for the last 25 years. After using many loan brokers, I found Cyrus to be very knowledgeable and have access to many loan options. I must have used him to finance new purchase and refinance existing loans over ten times. He will find the right product for my needs every time. His loans are very competitive compared with others. I highly recommend his service.

It was a real pleasure working with Cyrus. It helped to have all my ducks in line, but I like moving forward quickly, very much like Cyrus and the team at Omni funds. They were attentive and diligent through the loan process with me, and I appreciate the time he spent coaching me to the close. Making it happen!

In times when no one could pull it off, he managed to come with a solution and helped us finance the purchase. I highly recommend Cyrus!

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.
