The insurance company has taken more than a month, but they have not yet assessed the car or provided payment for the damages. I reached out to IBIS Consulting Services.

I recently used IBIS Consulting Services for both insurance consulting and vehicle repair, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their service. From start to finish, Tim and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful.

I had my first car incident just recently. Ibis Consulting was recommended to me as a team of professionals who work efficiently, maintain high standards, and are customer-oriented. And I must say, I was positively surprised by the level of service. Tim took over all communication with my insurance company and handled it quickly and confidently. I would definitely recommend Ibis ? 5 stars!

Great experience from the beginning to the end. They are professional and explain everything really well. They will take care of the estimate and communication with the insurance. Highly recommend.

The guys are the best!!! They did everything quickly and without any difficulties! Thank you very much. I will recommend you to my friends.

Tim and his team did an outstanding job! They took over and handled everything- the inspection, repair estimate, and communication with insurance companies. They were able to negotiate much more money than I would have received dealing with the insurance on my own, plus I got my claim payout in basically less than a week. Highly recommend!

When I had my first accident and got side swiped, the insurance company gave me a low offer that wouldnt even fix the damage, based on "their estimates". Upon a friends recommendation, I took it to their shop for evaluation and they negotiated with the Adjuster and got me a substantial amount back for my vehicle. Since then, I have taken another 2 vehicles to this shop for vandalism and couldnt be happier with their service. They are prompt, respond quickly, and will work for you to get you what you deserv

Great friendly service, I was rear ended recently and insurance company insisted I go through their affiliated repair shop or take a payout of their estimate which was basically a 3 minute once over glance of the damage with additional payments once they would start repairs and uncover more damages. In other words go to our shop or take a payout at a fraction of true costs. Took the car to Tim, signed some paperwork and let him deal with the insurance company, no more head ache. Two weeks later (insurance

Great and quick service. Very professional estimates that insurance companies can not refuse to pay. I am happy he processed my claim with the insurance. Thank you Tim.

Great people to work with , they have handled everything for me from the start to the finish. I got a good compensation to cover all expenses to fix my car. Strongly recommend them . Pleasure to work with ! Tim is very knowledgeable, experienced and professional . Very satisfied!

Life is full of unexpected things and accidents too. Even if you think that damages of your car are too tiny, you should definitely contact Tim, and he and his team will check the condition of the car both outside and inside, making a very thorough and verified estimation for the insurance company. Trust him and you will receive the best service, they did all the work quickly as we discussed it before. I am so glad to know where I can find help now. Thanks again for your support. May your business flourish!

I contacted Ibis Consulting on the recommendation of my friend. My husband had a collision on a parking lot, it wasn't his fault. Then we claimed the insurance company for our car damages and the insurance company did not fully compensate us for our losses, they underestimated the damages. Then we decided to contact Ibis Consulting for help to evaluate the estimate of our car damages. We've made the right choice! I can say that these guys know their job, they work accurately, quickly and efficiently. The in

I contacted Ibis Consulting on the recommendation of a friend. After my car was stolen, my insurance company did not fully compensate me for my losses. These guys have no time to coddle with clients, they know their job better than anyone I know. They work accurately, quickly and efficiently. The insurance company reimbursed me in full for my losses within a few days. I highly recommend! These are real professionals!

One of the rare customer oriented business owner!

Tim was very helpful with my comprehensive claim. He did a thorough inspection and repair estimate on my car. Checked the condition of my car inside and out. I'm very pleased and happy with his service. Definitely recommend and would go back!

Tim and his IBIS team are very friendly and professional. I highly recommend using his team in Sacramento if you need your collision inspected, assessed. Great prices and customer service!

If you're looking for an appraisal that will give you an honest and accurate appraisal, Tim's shop is it! I would highly recommend IBIS consulting to anyone that's looking for a good estimate ,quote and to deal with the insurance company. He's

This was my first car accident and from the very beginning I had such a hard time dealing with the insurance company proving my case. It was stressful until I was advised to seek help to protect my rights and the real cost of the repairs (real, not the one that the insurance company FORCES you to close your case as cheaply as possible for them) . As a result, I received the highest level of service. This company will represent your interests in a dispute with the insurance company, pursuing specifically you

One of the best in the this field. Professional, very aggressive with insurance company to get to the truth. I was denied coverage from my insurance company Liberty Mutual for the car damage and on top of that was denied to be their client. Tim did that they reinstated me completely and paid for the damages. Could not be more happier. Thank you for a wonderful service

I am thankful to IBIS Consulting Services! I am beyond grateful for everything that Tim did! He took over the original estimate my insurance gave me and worked hard to get me an appropriate estimate on the damages to my vehicle. I really appreciate everything that Tim and his team did!

Extremely helpful after my truck was hit! Tim took care of dealing with the other party and negotiated a settlement. He got me much more money than I would have received if I had done it on my own. We were in contact regularly throughout the process, and Tim was ready with answers to any questions I had. Glad to have IBIS take care of the phone calls, paperwork, negotiating etc. If this ever happens again IBIS will be my first call.

Wow! I am blown away with how outstanding Tim and his team are. They have handled everything for me from the start to finish. They have been very cooperative and professional with me. I would definitely highly recommend anyone and everyone to bring there vehicle to ibis consulting services if you've been in an accident.

I'd been in two different accidents and was overwhelmed dealing with the insurance companies. Tim took over and handled everything from the inspection and estimates to communicating with the insurance companies. He was professional and responsive. Before I knew it I had received both payments and they were for much more than I expected. I highly recommend Tim?s services and will absolutely use Ibis Consulting if I have a car accident in the future.

After a recent incident involving our electric Ford Mustang, we were in a state of distress. Our vehicle insurance provider sent their own estimator to assess the damages, and to our dismay, the initial total payment offered was less than $5,000. Feeling frustrated and undervalued, we decided to seek a second opinion and were recommended to IBIS Consulting Services, LLC for a comprehensive review of the damages. Let me tell you, choosing them was one of the best decisions we made during this entire ordeal.

Tim and his team is amazing . Me myself never deal with insurance it was my first incident it was stressful. Some of my friends recommended Tim service and he did an amazing job and I will definitely will recommend to someone else thank you !!!Tim and his crew! (Valentina)

Very professional and customer-oriented company! The entire team was professional, punctual, and efficient. I highly recommend IBIS Consulting Services to anyone in need of reliable and trustworthy consulting services.

Tim did a great job, service was fast ,good and easy He did much more than we expected! I highly recommend this business if you have a car accident ! He was very professional, very helpful & had great prices. Will definitely come back If something happens in future! Thank you Tim !

I had a very good experience with IBIS Consulting Services. They did a very great job. Recommend to everyone who doesn't like to talk to the insurance companies.

From the bottom of my heart I would like to express my gratitude to you for your help in resolving issues with my car and the insurance company. Your attention to detail, efficiency and professionalism made the process much easier and less stressful.

My first time dealing with this business and I had no idea it'll be so easy and successful. They showed me the real damages that the accident caused- damages that are not visible to a naked eye or to people that know very little about accidents. They have a way of speaking to insurances that try to pay as little as possible to their customers, which is not why we pay such high insurance fees. Job well done. I'm happy with the estimate. Worth every penny I paid them. I'll definitely use them next time and re

Best service I have ever had. Easy to work with them. Reasonably price, much better then with other company. Tim did more than I expected. Highly recommending!

Excellent service, I really thank the company for the help, the insurance did not want to pay fair and rated very little, but these guys did their job professionally. They multiplied the payment by 10x what the insurance company offered me. I am very satisfied and recommend to everyone, they work transparently and honestly.

My friend referred me to IBIS. Comming here was one of the best decisions I've made. Tim got me in the next day and helped me with my auto insurance claim. State farm was really difficult to deal with because they denied coverage on some parts caused by their insured and were not willing to give me an honest payout. Tim, however, worked his magic and helped me get the best payout from statefarm. If you are planning on dealing with insurance on your own.... Dont do it!! State farm will send their own adjuste

We originally got a very low estimate from our insurance which would not cover the damages and I'm glad we got a chance to do business with IBIS, they helped us out and made sure the estimate was appropriate to the damages(aka a lot higher than the insurance wanted to pay). Great service. Recommend.

After working with Ibis, I not only managed to overcome financial challenges but also improved my health, found happiness in my family life, and achieved success in my career. I highly recommend their services to everyone!

Insurance companies are crying. If you pay for full coverage and want to finally get compensated beyond what your imagination can ponder, then this is definitely & absolutely the outmost optimized service for you. Phenomenal work, thank you very much Tim!

Very pleased with the work Tim. For two months the insurance company delayed my question, I contacted Tim, he quickly resolved my issue, I highly recommend it. Verified company.

Tim and his team offer the best service. It was quick easy, friendly, very easy to work. I will be recommending his services to other people

My accident happened a month ago, the insurance didn't do anything until I went to Tim for the inspection of the damages, I got paid by my insurance the next day after I dropped the car at IBIS Consulting. If you got into an accident and don't know how to deal with it - this is where you should go. Thank you!

This place gives best services ever. I had a car accident recently, Tim helped me to get a refund from my insurance by estimating how much money my car needed to be fixed. Thank you so much Tim.

This company did a great job, on doing a in-depth, very detailed, inspection of my cars damage, and repair estimate. Professional service, thank you

Tim helped us reach a better settlement with a insurance that didnt want to pay up for damage that their client caused. Fortuately we found IBIS before we agreed to a bad settlement

Contacted Ibis Consulting Services, the guys are very friendly, solved my issue in a few days 300%. Very happy with the result. Thank you very much!

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.
