Customer Reviews

I was looking for a local CPA who could help me strategize about income taxes, and help me handle taxes for my new business, and found Hoshi CPA online. I have been with Udai Hoshi and his team for two tax cycles now. Udai and his team are friendly and knowledgeable, and patient with me when I take forever to get back to them with my forms. I would definitely recommend Hoshi CPA.

Udai has been super helpful with my tax planning and preparation. I did them myself for years and finally realized it was just getting too complex, while owning and running my own small business. He's provided excellent service, he's easy to work with, and has a lot of good tips to help you lower your taxes.

Udai has been a great CPA. He is easy to talk to and work with. He actually takes time to get to know his clients and their specific needs. He even takes the time to call when clients qualify to apply for a stimulus so they don't miss out on it. I highly recommend him if you're looking for a CPA around the SW area.

Working with Udai has been great. He's put my company back on track after being over two years delinquent on taxes. He's exceptionally responsive and just all around a great person to talk to. I have recommended Udai to multiple friends and would continue to do so.

My wife and I had some challenging real estate transactions that required expertise in capital gains. Udai gave us extremely sound advise with his tax and accounting knowledge which helped us plan and save on our taxes. His expertise and knowledge of accounting is exceptional. We are extremely pleased with his professionalism, response, and grasp of taxes. We have used Udai to do our personal and business taxes as well - and he is by far the best accountant we have ever used. We highly recommend Udai a

I've been using Hoshi CPA since returning from an overseas assignment 5 years ago. Udai has always been fast and efficient filing our paperwork and takes the stress off everything during tax season. I highly recommend Hoshi CPA!

Udai Hoshi is an excellent CPA and definitely knows his craft. He is very meticulous when he is assessing your tax situation. My taxes were a little complicated this year for me with a new business startup and other non-standard tax events. Udai is the third professional CPA I've hired and he by far has treated me the best. The other two outfits I felt like I was just another number to them and they would not be able to cater to my needs because they didnt really know my situation fully. Udai on the o

My former accountant, who I had been with for 4 years, stopped returning my calls in July. I searched for a new accountant and sent out 4 requests. Udai was the only one to respond. He listened to my situation & agreed to help. He was able to complete my business & personal taxes in under a month! He saved me over $11,000 and fixed many errors the previous accountant made. Udai is very pleasant to work with. His rates are fair. I thought they were too expensive at first, but quickly realized I was wr

We greatly appreciate Udai's expertise in handling our corporate and personal taxes. He knows the business inside and out and is personable too! Highly recommended!

I moved from another state to kick a consulting start-up business into full operational gear in Portland yet was unfamiliar with the state, city and local tax rules. Udai and his team were the consummate professional CPA... extremely knowledgeable about current and future tax regulation, as well as detailing pros and cons about C corps vs. S corps. Additionally, the multiple times I met with him virtually, he provided valuable advice and was able to review, audit business records and provide annual state a

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.
