Customer Reviews

The seminar was so effective in the 3 hour limited seminar time to understand the various knowledge for the tax reduction purpose in case of immigrating to US. I am in the process of acquiring permanent residency in US, it was so helpful to prepare the readiness for the immigrating to US such as PIP, etc.. I'm thinking about to extend my discussion and possibly to make further detailed consultation with JC & Company even after my immigration to US.

Be very careful with this company and the accuracy of his contents as well as his staff abilities. John does consult selling lots of things which are not supposed to do then completely disappear once transaction happens. After watching his YouTube, I decided to try his services and his company. They requested for my credit card info to pay filing fees then charged multiple times as they had to refile our application to Secretary of California due to their mistakes ( Spelling errors on city name, according

I received very professional consultation regarding capital gains tax. It was worth the cost and the problem was well resolved. They were kind and helpful from start to finish. Thx!!!

I am leaving this review since I was satisfied with the Living Trust service I got from JC&Company. They helped me a lot.

JC&Company is a great firm with awesome staff who were easy to speak to, cared about my situation, attentive to my concerns and desires. They were very clear, upfront, and constantly in communication with me, answering all my questions for the whole duration of the case. I wouldn't recommend any other firm more highly than JC&Company. Hopefully you never have to be in this situation but, if you're looking, do yourself a favor and call JC&Company first.

John Chung and JC team have offered highly professional and reliable advice for me and my family cases, and I have been very satisfied with their services. Here comes 5 stars :)

The CPAs at JC&Company are kind and professional. They have been helpful for several years filing my family's tax returns every year and especially this year on claiming Employee Retention Credit (ERC).

Hardworking professionals I have ever known!??

Best accounting service! Thank you

Good! Friendly and professional!

(Translated by Google) Please listen to it once. You can feel the content of YouTube better.

(Translated by Google) It was very helpful to be able to hear the information I had been consistently receiving through the lawyer?s YouTube videos in a more specific and vivid way at the seminar.

(Translated by Google) I never want to introduce you. They only view customers as money and the service is a mess, they charge more money than other places and provide less services. YouTube also seems to have a stronger promotional purpose. Thanks to this, I lost $1,000 in fines from the IRS. I think this is why Koreans are more likely to stab Koreans in the back. Never do it here!! It's not even worth 1 star. Those who gave 5 points below will receive one, no, one hundred votes for being an employee. Even

(Translated by Google) It was promoted heavily on YouTube, so I was hooked and tried it. This is a service that makes you understand why they work so hard to promote YouTube. I didn't want to give it a single star, but I understand the feelings of those who gave it a star rating below, so I'm leaving a comment because I was trying to forget about it and move on. Before using this service, be sure to ask people around you if they know of any good lawyers or law firms. Don?t just get hooked by watching YouTub

(Translated by Google) The CEO and staff are friendly and work well. After processing the work, if it goes to the billing team, the work will not be handled well. I was charged 1.75 times the original estimated cost, so when I asked about the bill after remitting the estimated amount, there was no reply, but I was contacted 6 months later. They say that if you pay late, interest will be charged, but there is no interest rate. If you pay attention to costs accurately when signing a contract, you will avoid b

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.
