I had the pleasure of working with Brian for my taxes this year, and I couldn't be more impressed! He was incredibly efficient and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Filing remotely was seamless, and he made everything so easy to understand, answering all my questions with clear, professional guidance. Brian truly went above and beyond to ensure my taxes were done accurately and on time. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a hassle-free experience with a true expert.
As a new client, I recently had the pleasure of working with Brian with Finkoy for my tax preparation, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish Brian demonstrated professionalism, knowledge, and a genuine interest in helping me maximize my tax refund. I was particularly impressed by his meticulous attention to detail. I highly recommend Brian and Finkoy to anyone in need of tax preparation services. Whether you have a simple return or a more complex situation, Brian has the
This is my second year doing my taxes with Brian Montanez and he is so professional and quick to get you the help you need. This year I did things remotely and it took only a few minutes. I definitely recommend doing your taxes with Brian because he really cares about his clients.
I recommend this place for any tax purposes, filing or anything related to. Thank you Brian Monta?ez for your excellent customer service and attentive to detail. Appreciate all your help to make my filing an easy process.
To say Corey is amazing would be an understatement. When we received a weird letter from the tax board saying they owed us money, we were pleasantly shocked but had no idea what to do. We called our normal tax person who had no idea what the letter was or how to help and frankly was unwilling to. When we googled tax preparation in our area we came across Corey who was happy and determined to help us. Corey went above and beyond to help us. Not only did he complete the paperwork, he helped us file for more t
Brian Montanez is amazing, he has been helping me with my taxes for the last 6-7 years without facing any hardship. I highly recommend him.
I've been coming to Brian for years. He's very knowledgeable and looks out for your best interest. The rest of the staff is very friendly and helpful as well.
I had a good experience with doing my taxes with Brian he was fast and on top of it I would recommend coming here when doing taxes as well.
Very epic place where I do my taxes every year. This is like 5th year doing taxes with him he's great and the front office staff are genuinely the post polite I've ever come across.
I would suggest coming down to see Brian vary professional and courteous I would reger him to anyone who would love to do their faces here with them
I just had a few simple tax questions and Brian was very kind & knowledgeable!
Brian was very helpful and straight forward on what was needed and the services that were offered.
I've been going to Rantax for a couple years and Corey is the absolute best! He's so kind, very informative and answers any questions to the best of his knowledge. Valerie is the sweetest receptionist EVER! I call often and she answers right away and helps in any way she can! She's seriously an amazing employee. Rantax is an awesome place to get your taxes done. Fast and easy!
I was referred to RanTax by a relative for my taxes this year. I had to do both standard and a 1099. Brian Monta?ez took care of me. He covered all the bases unlike my previous tax person and even offered to help me with my snafu of tax filing from last year (which my previous tax person wouldn't help with). I'll be a return customer for 2023. They also do real estate and home loans to my understanding. Their office is also much more welcoming and professional than those other places for sure.
If you're looking for a honest tax preparer Rantax is where you want to to go. They also help with Financing, Refinancing and purchasing a home. They really have your best interest at heart and will definitely get you the best deal. When you go, ask for Corey Scales. I guarantee you will have the best home buying experience. I've been recommending Rantax and Corey to all my friends and co workers. I can't say enough about this company and my experience with them. Visit them or give them a call and ask for
Please ask for Corey! He is very thorough and an expert at all things tax related! In addition to tax filling, he is very very knowledgeable about Scorps LLC and real estate- don't miss out on the opportunity to take advantage of all the funds your entitled too! Call Corey #Yourwelcome
Found these guys on Google based on their reviews. Was able to schedule a Saturday appointment on their website for tax services which was nice. I met with Metin who was friendly and professional. It turned out I had forgotten some important documents and Metin was patient enough for me to run home and grab them. He got my taxes done quickly and was also able to do my daughter's as well. He also provided some advice which resulted in a larger return than anticipated. I highly recommend Metin and will be con
Good experience with Brian Monta?ez. I was skeptical of tax consultants, so I did my own taxes but didn't file and sought out consultation options to see if I was unaware of any tax claims. Turns out I was, and even with the fee, I got a larger tax refund. Definitely keeping his business card.
Metin and the staff are awesome! They are professional, fast, and very efficient! They have always helped me with many of my needs not just my taxes but insurance as well! The office there is very clean and comfortable, and that music they have playing while you wait ?? I've been going to Metin for 9 years now and I will continue in the years to come! Awesome guys there at Rantax ?? I highly recommend them to friends family and coworkers!
I highly reccomend Rantax! They are professional, efficient and incredibly attentive. Metin has been profoundly helpful, and is highly skilled in his trade. He happily answered my one thousand questions, and always responds immediately. I can not reccomend Rantax highly enough, and will definitely be utilizing their services for all of my future tax needs. I wish that I could rate them at six stars.
I recently purchased my first home. I was extremely nervous because I was clueless regarding the process. Corey Scales was my agent. I am extremely pleased with his work! He made the process simple, he was transparent, explained everything clearly, and was very patient with me when I did not understand something the first time around. He was very reliable and you can tell he really cares about his clients. If you are looking for a trustworthy real estate agent, go see Corey!

As a new client and first time using a tax preparer I expected a boring, stressful, and unpleasant appointment but it had to be done. The appointment was not what I had expected at all- I worked with Corey Scales and he was genuine, not robotically professional but personable. Made the whole tax process painless, efficient and easy! Wonder no more and just head into Rantax I don't think you'll be disappointed especially if you see Corey!
Let me start off by saying I am a very particular person who likes to be knowledgeable and informed in whatever endeavor I choose to embark in. With that being said, Corey has gone above and beyond to assist me with purchasing my first home. He was very patient with me and answered each and every one of the questions I had with a positive attitude. I never felt rushed, he always wanted to make sure I understood what I was getting myself into and if he didn't personally know the answer to a question I had, h
Corey Scales is the best best! He's so friendly and trustworthy. He has been filing our taxes for the past few years and he never disappoints. Really recommend him.
Metin has been filing my taxes for the last 13 years. I am very satisfied with his services. He helped me with my business billing to ensure that I receive payments on my invoices more efficiently and quickly. I would recommend his services for anyone that needs an honest accountant.
Corey Scales has been one of the most professional and supportive person I have worked with. From year-end taxes to refinamce he was patient and precise in everything we did. I would most heartily recommend Corey and Rantax to anyone.
I've been coming to Rantax do my taxes for over 8 years, from the time I was filling my W2 to now filling my 1099 and I'm always more than satisfied with the work that Metin does. I've referred family and friends in the past and now they've become returning customers do to their efficiency and professionalism. So when I found out they also do Real-Estate I gave it a shot as a first time buyer and now I'm a proud home owner. Metin made the process simple, smooth and quick! Thank you Rantax!!

Corey explained everything clearly every step of the way and kept in touch with me. If I refinance I will be returning to Corey at Rantax . Every time I h
We'll keep coming back every year for our taxes. Metin helped with our last year's taxes and again today when I needed help sorting out some past taxes. Due to our taxes being from past years they were required to be mailed in, he even went so far as to make sure the envelopes were addressed correctly with proper postage. He always provides us with a copy of our taxes in whatever form we wish and makes sure we are completely informed the entire time. The office is very clean and the staff are very professio
Due to recent family medical issues and a most recent visit to the emergency room we missed our tax appointment late into tax season. However, what a Godsend Rantax turned out to be. From the minute I walked into Rantax I felt the genuine commitment to service, integrity, and professionalism. Thank-you for being our answer to Prayer in getting out of a hole in regards to having our taxes completed so late in the game. God's Blessing on all of you!
I am very please with Rantax. I recommend their services to anyone looking for a Tax Preparer. Brian is very helpful, responsive, knowledgeable and efficient.
Cory eased every anxiety about becoming a first time homeowner. Honest, trustworthy, and was there for me every step of the way. Very knowledgeable on everything real estate. Friendly, helpful great personality!
I was looking into purchasing my first home and needed guidance. I feel uncomfortable that I gave them so much information only to be ghosted. The guy was responsive in the beginning, then after he asked me to be an authorized user on my family's credit cards, he stopped messaging me. Very frustrating working with people who aren't up front about anything. I would rather contact someone who would tell me what is required to get a home loan rather than be told I'll get one and never hear back from them.
Metin is so great to work with. Gets you in and out quick, answers all your questions and responds to any follow up in a very timely manner. This was our first time there and we will definitely be going back for years to follow!
Rantax has friendly and very professional people from the front desk to the back office. They will always greet you with a welcoming smile... even walk-ins, like ME. I had several years back taxes that I needed to file and was stressing out looking for a trustworthy tax preparer. Which is another reason I dreaded filing earlier. So, I read several reviews... I know, I know people think they're mostly "friends or family", but you gotta trust, read them AND pray anyway. They're reviews by real people with re

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.
