Customer Reviews

Our law firm is often contacted by folks who need credit restoration / repair services. Imax Credit is our go-to. Because of the legal background and expertise of Ali, Juan and the team, they are often able to deliver results that others cannot - in a great time frame too. I have also found they are very transparent, in terms of being honest about what can and cannot be done. Having your credit repaired is not easy. If you're going to do it, it's important you will with the right people. These guys have de

I had a great experience with Ali. He took the time to review my credit report in detail, spending about 45 minutes going over everything with me. Provided valuable tips on how to improve my score and was honest enough to advise me that paying for his services wouldn't significantly benefit me at this time. I appreciated his transparency and helpfulness. Highly recommend if you need help with your credit. Wish that I had found him sooner!

Ali Zane, Juan and the rest of the team are the real deal. They are more than credit repair experts : they are shrewd business professionals who understand the non written rules of the game. They will assess your situation and give you transparent feedback while setting realistic expectations and potential strategies. This team unlike many others has knowledge and exposure to complex credit situations. They think outside of the box and use all the alternative solutions allowed by the law to help you solve c

Highly recommend! The word "Credit" is scary for some of us! Thank goodness, I discovered Ali with iMax Credit Repair Firm! I am trying to clean up my credit report and the credit world just seems so scary and out of reach to me. So I sent Ali an email to ask for his help/advice. Not only did he respond within an hour, he reviewed my case and then sent me step my step instructions that have shown me how to clean up and bring my credit report to what it should be and basically has helped me to demystify

Would you please edit the proposed review of mine for you? I have gotten to know Ali Zane and how he goes about getting his results. We each used to think we were the only credit repair firm in all California doing things legally. Ali does things legally. Its more than just being a CA Department of Justice registered company as one must also comply with the federal laws. And that means NOT disputing an accurately reported piece of credit or trying to trick the creditor or Reporting Agencies into deleting

I recently worked with Ali on my credit repair. The results are outstanding. He was able to remove the late payments that i have in my history. He is very responsive, and always responds to your questions as soon as possible. Would definitely recommend him.

I worked with Ali and Allex at iMax to fix up my credit score, and they were wonderful to work with at every step of the way. During the initial phone call, Ali identified the multiple changes I could make on my way, as well as the changes they could help with in order to boost the score. He was clear and transparent about exactly how much it would cost, and what the potential upside and downsides could be of certain changes. This made it very easy for me to evaluate what next steps to take. They helped m

I needed quick expert advice regarding how to most intelligently build my credit score, so, I call Imax Credit Repair and spoke to Ali. He was very considerate and helpful and gave me great advice. The consultation was free, as promised. I offered to pay, he refused. Very honorable gentleman. Call. Him. Now.

Ali was so helpful and prompt. Before I paid a dime he assisted with whatever I needed. Gave me advise and I was able to send some emails , make some calls and get unauthorized items removed. Ali I really appreciate your assistance. Ali really cares about you and your credit. No strings attached.

Ali is really friendly, very professional and super easy to work with. I have a credit issue bothered me for years, and Ali helped me to fix it within a month, that's really incredible. Thanks for his kindly help, I am able to get a nice rate to buy my first house, its totally a life time change. I highly recommend Ali from IMAX credit

We worked with Ali about a released tax lien issue that we could not get equifax to remove. They worked on it, and got it removed! They only accept payment after the work is completed which to me shows they have confidence in what they do. Much better than monthly credit repair services that just send letters and disputes.

Ali is incredibly professional and caring, not only does his team do a great job, he personally cares for his customers, offering unbiased guidance and expert insight. What could have been a stressful process was delightful with Ali and team. I'm certain I would?ve been years behind in my financial goals if it weren't for this great team.

The financial collapse hurt me pretty bad. Before the financial collapse, my credit score was 830. At the time, I had about $50,000 available in unsecured credit, and I could buy anything that I needed on credit. But after the collapse, I had some challenges with my business, and my credit scores dropped down into the low 300s. For years after, I didn't use, and couldn't get, credit. With iMax's ongoing help, one my credit scores is now 740, and a second is approaching 700. We're still working on my 3rd cr

I had a great experience with Imax Credit Repair, Ali was quick to respond to my questions and provided great advice. He was kind enough to review my credit report at no cost and then he explained how I can address some questionable items on my report which I would like to have removed. I highly recommend giving Ali and Imax a call if you have concerns about your credit report.

What a pleasant surprise! Credit repair is an industry that has its fair share of dishonesty - this is NOT one of those businesses. iMax is professional to a fault. Ali could not have been more honest and helpful and I can recommend his services to anyone without any hesitation whatsoever.

Ali is absolutely amazing. He responded to my questions (spanning a period of 3 months) within a day and even called me as we were emailing each other to specifically answer all my questions. His advice is spot on; and, much appreciated in this day and age where others demand an up-front fee for services/advice.

i found ali through yelp and when i called him i really liked his personality , he was not a showman and saying all the bs the credit repair guys say , and he was not pushy at all , he checked my credit and he gave me good advice about what he is going to do , he accomplished what i asked him and more in a short time , very professional yet friendly , i was able to reach him anytime i wanted and he answwerd all my questions in the best way , i will be definitely referring him to everyone , if you don't want

I'm so happy that i finally got to fix my credit and get my score to go up slightly high. thanks to this company and there great team effort to remove few of my unknown errors. i have learned a lot from this experience and know how to manege my life much better. thank you guys for the good work

Edward and Ali are a great team I'm so happy I met these guys to work on my credit and they did a good job

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.
