I my family and I have been filing my taxes with Josh and he's amazing and very professional. Always doing business above and beyond expectations!
We made an appointment with Asher at 12noon. We arrived at around 11:50am and saw that there was a client already sitting down. No problem, we waited out in the hallway. A gentleman came over and shut the door for more privacy. Again, we have no issues waiting in the hallway. He didn't acknowledge us to say something like ?Hi, I'll be right with you? or ?It is taking a little longer than expected, can you come back at X time??. I'm also 38 weeks pregnant and there was no seating out in the hallway. It was
I wish I would have found this service along time ago. Asher is friendly and helpful met me at an odd time of the day. Not just a 9 to 5 which is so helpful to people with busy schedules. I highly recommend josh tax services the experience was awesome. I found a new home for tax service and you should too. Shaun Jones..
Asher is incredibly smart and does amazing work. I'm a first time business owner and needed a bunch of help figuring out taxes and whatnot, he he guided me through everything and explained everything that I didn't understand. He's great at what he does and I 100 percent recommend his services
Josh is great! Greatly recommend him to anyone who's business owner!
Asher is an expert with decades of experience under his belt. I am getting my taxes done from last couple years now and as a tax payer so far is the best service and expertise I came across. He helps me through out the year with any questions and concerns. Best customer service and great human being. I highly recommend him from easy to complex taxes.
Asher is very knowledgeable in his area of US Taxes. This was my first time doing taxes with him and I was impressed with his thorough approach to filing taxes. He took care of my complex situation of taxes and made it simple for me to understand. I highly recommend him for filing personal and business taxes and guidance around business entity creation. Thank you !
I went to Asher after leaving my tax consultant from the Bay Area after trusting them for over ten years. I moved to Manteca and wanted some one I could trust for the same amount of time that could assist me in a first time rental property. We also have a large family and my tax return dynamics I thought were going to be way more complicated than they actually were. Asher gave me a consultation and I felt I definitely needed to go to him as there was never a feeling of pressure or obligation to go with him.
Very Friendly. Very Knowledgeable and quick. Thank you guys and I'll hopefully be seeing you next year.
Trustworthy, honest and reliable. Thank you Mr. Asher and staff.
Professionalism at its best! This is our 1st time coming to Josh Tax Service, Asher genuinely took care of our needs and treated us like family. All questions were answered in a timely manner and explained everything clearly so that I have a better understanding. Highly recommend to all!!
Asher is a great guy and really cares for his clients. His professionalism goes a long way and really helped me out. Im so thankful I found his services online. I highly recommend him for people who need their taxes done.
Very quick service and received a lot of helpful advice for future filings
COSTLY and BAD experience with Asher Nar. I used his services in 2021 and was charged over $350 for preparing my 2020 taxes, with this price I though I was expecting accountability, experience and professionalism, but mostly? taking care of my taxes based on the reviews he has. But, instead I got a letter from the IRS in October, 2022 stating that I had not filed my 2020 taxes, which I did with Asher. I immediately called him and he said that he had fix it and not to worry. Weeks later the IRS sent a letter
Asher is a people person he cares about his clients. When you walk in his office you are greeted by his warm smile and you know your at the right place. As a single mom wondering if I would get a return or being laid off from work at Josh Tax service Asher always make sure he dose everything possible making sure I get a return. So if your looking for the best place to get your Taxes Done Josh Taxes is the place!!!!
Asher provided superior service, trust and professionalism when it came time to file for my taxes. He was very attentive, timely and thorough and took time to go through my taxes and deductions. I've gone through many CPA?s and tax service companies prior, and finally found a person that I can see myself going to for years to come. Thanks Asher. See you next year!
He is more than accommodating great guy
I would definitely give this place a 5/5! Absolutely amazing! Josh is such an amazing and comforting individual. All we did was drop off our papers and come in another day to sign it, due to COVID-19. Awesome place to go to if it's your first time filing for taxes or if you're just looking for a fast & efficient place to get your taxes done.
Never again. I would not recommend. He made nothing but mistakes on my taxes. Not only that he overbooks. I'm highly disappointed due to the mistake he made I received a notice in the mail from the IRS. But even before that he had made mistakes and errors on my name and address. I had to go back to have him correct it. He refunded me $25 out of the $300 that he charged. Worse tax experience I ever had. I never have received a letter about errors being made; which resulted in them saying I owe more money.l u
Great fast service. Asher was really helpful explaining the answers to my tax questions i have been coming to him for 2 years now and plan on stay with his services for all my tax needs.

I found myself in a Tax "situation" for the first time in my life. I looked up different tax places to review my LLC P&L reports. I decided to go with a local representative to see if they could help me. Ive previously been going to a CPA for the last seven years and didn't realize they didn't file a 568 form directly to the FTB. I met up with Asher on a Friday evening, he reviewed my P&L reports for the back six years and was able to immediately address my issues. Asher took on my situation without hesitat
Asher took great care of me same-day. I needed more work done on my taxes than usual and it was never an issue for Asher. He's awesome!

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.
