I had the pleasure of working with Dimov Tax Specialists this year, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their service. My case was complicated, involving multiple income sources, investments, and the unfortunate loss of money due to a fraudulent real estate investment company. Despite the complexity, Dimov Tax Specialists were extremely responsive, professional, and thorough. They prepared a draft version for me to review and ensured the full IRS packet was submitted on time. Throughout the process, they
I am so thankful to have found Dimov Tax Specialists. The whole team has been great to deal with, George, Jurgen, Anthony, Alberto, Alisson, all have been wonderful. Not only are they very experienced and knowledgeable, they are extremely responsive, professional and polite. I have worked with Dimov Tax Specialists for 2 years now and have also referred my daughter who has recently started her own company to Dimov Tax Specialists. My whole customer experience has been comfortable, pleasant and re-assuri
I've been working with this team for my tax needs and couldn't be happier with the experience. Extremely professional, always responsive, and incredibly patient in walking me through all of my questions. This office combines technical expertise with a genuine commitment to client service. Highly recommend to anyone looking for knowledgeable and trustworthy tax specialists!
The Dimov team has helped me the past two years in a row and it is a seamless, stress-free experience working with them. It is a very responsive group with excellent attention to detail, and a group that is willing to meet to provide guidance for optimizing future tax years. I am much more aware of how to manage my tax burden throughout the year due to my experience with Dimov Tax. They provide excellent value, confidence, and security for reasonable rates.
Dimov has been a lifesaver for our family year after year. Between startup income, W-2s from big tech, 1099 consulting, and multi-state filings, they've handled it all with calm, precision, and clarity. They're fast, kind, and proactive?offering real strategy, not just form-filing. Highly recommend for anyone with complex returns or multiple income streams.
This year the complexity of my taxes changed when I started a personal business. The team at Dimov made filing a breeze and had an exceptionally quick turnaround. It was worth every penny, and I will use them again next year!
I've worked with Dimov Tax Specialists every year and can't recommend them enough! The process is seamless and stress-free?but more importantly, their team is always available to answer my questions, provide clarity on my taxes, and offer valuable recommendations on managing my withholdings throughout the year. Taxes have never been this easy without Dimov! I would 1000% recommend them!
Dimov tax has been great for my tax prep needs. They are responsive to all questions, and produced a high quality / easy to understand tax return, as well as filed it on my behalf on time. Would definitely do business again!
This company was very helpful getting my tax returns done. It was my first time filing taxes and I was extremely confused on what needs to be completed. They helped me walk through the process and I was able to submit on time without any problems. I will certainly recommend them to my friends and would come back next year.
I came to Dimov because they have experience with RSUs among many other services and I couldn't be happier. Their rates are competitive. They provide comprehensive tax advise and the newsletter offers helpful tips and keeps you informed of changing tax laws.
We have a Non-Profit that is now required to have our financials Audited due to our income level. I tried for weeks to find someone to even respond to my emails and phone calls with no avail. Then Dimov was in my in Box! Problem solved, my only condition left was trying to stay up with their progression. The flow was seamless, low pressure and to the point. So glad we had George and his team at Dimov on our side. I now have what I need to compete at state level. Thanks Team!! on a scale of 1-5 I'd call it a
Unfortunately, this company did not work for me. Seems like it was a waste of time. Once I uploaded my documents and paid, it took them about two weeks to respond and I had to reach out to get an update (told me they were going to reach out in 2-3 business days). I reached out again once 3 business days hit and no response. It wasn't until I clearly stated that I did not want to proceed with filing my taxes that I got a draft filing. At this point I did not feel comfortable proceeding with filing my taxes
Dimov tax has been my go-to tax service for years now! They have provided me guidance when I was still an employee, when I first became a real estate investor, and finally, as I started to scale my business. It is my second year in business for myself, and I am looking at my second real estate property at this time. George and this team have been with me the entire way. They are completely indispensable to my financial decision making and planning. Looking forward to using them again next year!
This was my first year to seek out the services of a tax professional after a decade of using HR Block online. My employer had provided me with ESPP access and RSUs and taxes on those items can be confusing. HR Block said I owed several thousand dollars and even though I thought I entered everything correctly, I decided it was time to get a second opinion. I scoured the internet for tax specialists in my area (Burbank) and sent messages to several places. Many didn't respond, and the one who did treated me
I've partnered with Dimov, and specifically Doniyorkhon, for many years and we're very happy. As new challenges for us arise, they are accommodating, quick to respond, knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
I use these guys for both my business and personal taxes. Im going on 4 years of working with them. They do my bookkeeping, my business tax returns, any my personal. They are super easy to work with and are always on top of things. Highly recommend them.
Dimov Tax Specialists have been preparing my US taxes for a few years now. I am exceptionally satisfied with their service and support! Highly recommend it!
George is my favorite accountant! I would not use anyone else. Once they got to know my situation, filing has been a breeze. I will use again for sure. Yeni on his team is also super helpful. Thank you to the whole team!
I was referred to Dimov tax by a friend, best decision I made. The staff was very informed and prepared, the service was fast and efficient. Definitely highly recommend. I have referred all of my friends and family. Dimov is a name you can trust
Always reliable and useful - I've had them handle my business bookkeeping, taxes, personal taxes, and many other tasks. I've used them for 7 years now & will continue to use. Highly recommend!
This was my first time working with Dimov Tax. They initially reached out to me and seemed very professional and organized. They quoted me $795 for one time payment and told me that I will receive 20 min consultation prior to filling after all the documents received by them (pls see attached screenshot of their email). Although I asked multiple times about the consultation after I sent them all the docs, they didn't provide me the consultation as promised. I didn't talk any single person so I am not even su
I'm super excited to take the time to write a review for my friend and accountant George as well as his team. They have been working with me ever since I opened my small business and have watched our tremendous growth. I'm very excited to be growing alongside of them, and look forward to many years of working together!
The team was meticulous and thorough with great attention to detail. They cross referenced everything and were informative. Most importantly, they were very responsive and proactive in their communication. Loved working with them!
Fast, professional, and helpful. I've been using Dimov for the last 3 years and they're great to work with.
Amazing service from the team, Specially Artemii, great way to handle unique cases like mine. Will definitely keep working with them.
This accounting firm has been doing my taxes for many years. I've had a few confusing personal situations and they were always there to assist me. Taxes are not my strong suit, so I appreciate the help.

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.
