Customer Reviews

Mr. Theo Kagabo was recommended to me by my brother Kenny. I decided to go to him for his services to file my 2023 Income Tax return. Since I work full time and also run as small independent archery coaching business, my wife and I decided to file taxes from a person who is knowledgeable with all the complexities of filing taxes. Mr. Kagabo was very professional with his work and unlike my previous person who filed my taxes on the prior years, Mr. Kagabo took some time to answer any questions that I have, b

Theo did an exceptional job. His attention to detail, knowledge of tax laws, and ability to maximize deductions saved me both time and money. His communication was clear, and he even guided me through the process with ease, providing peace of mind knowing my taxes were filed accurately and efficiently. Overall, I highly recommend his services for anyone seeking professional tax assistance or to open an LLC . Theo, my family and i appreciate you ! Kindly, Mannie

Theo, Your expertise and attention to detail have been invaluable in navigating the complexities of my tax situation. You've consistently demonstrated professionalism and proficiency in your field, from meticulously organizing documents to providing insightful advice on tax optimization strategies. Moreover, I appreciate you taking the time to address any questions or concerns I've had along the way. Your clear and concise explanations have helped me better understand the intricacies of my tax obligations

I recently worked with a Theo to open my business in California, and I must say, it was one of the best decisions I made. Theo was professional, knowledgeable, and patient, which made the entire process seamless and stress-free. From the initial consultation to the final filing, Theo was there every step of the way, guiding me through the complex and often confusing world of tax law and business formation. Theo helped me navigate the various forms, requirements, and deadlines, ensuring that everything was

Amazing and efficient! The systems he has in place to upload all or the necessary information was incredibly easy and user friendly. Theo was readily available for any questions and made the process seamless. And man does he work magic! I would definitely recommend.

We love working with Kagabo Consulting. Every year Theo reaches out with friendly reminder to submit our tax docs and this year (2023), they had a new platform that made submission of docs much easier. We were able to communicate in the platform which was great for keeping tracking of action items. So if you?re looking for a tax professional who knows the business and has great customer service vibes, get in touch with Theo at Kagabo Consulting.

This company is amazing. Theo himself is who I deal with which is usually not the case when dealing with someone who does this type of work at the level that they do. It's more personal and up front. Last year he turned a $16,000 tax bill into a $2,000 tax bill. This year it went from the same amount to a return of $2,000. It just feels like family and I feel very safe putting my business in their hands. Much recommended!

I filed taxes this year with Kagabo Consulting and I truly couldn?t be more thankful for his assistance, professionalism, work ethic, and turn around. The platform to share documents and information is very easy to use and he responds promptly to all questions and concerns. Tax season usually gives me an extra stressor but with Kagabo Consulting in my corner, I no longer have anything to worry about! This year, I got a refund of $3k and the previous two years I filed with TurboTax and owed thousands! Thank

Very pleased with Theo and his tax services. I've always done our taxes, but this year our tax liability was much more than previous years. I decided it was time to get a professional. With that I reached out to for Theo's advice, despite we had a week before filling was due. He was able to accomplish what I was looking for, in a timely matter, and very professional. He has earned my future business, and happy to recommend him.

Been coming to Theo for a few years now. Unlike other CPA/Account Theo, has always been accessible to take care of my tax and financial needs. I had an urgent last minute situation that he pretty much took care of overnight no questions asked.

Theo has been amazing! He?s polite, charismatic, patient and very knowledgeable. His prompt responses and work ethics have surpassed my expectations. I absolutely recommend him for all your business needs!

Theo is very quick and efficient when it came to my tax returns! I had quite a few documents this year and he made it extremely easy to file. Im satisfied with his service and will definitely be doing my taxes with him again next year

10/10. Highly Recommend! I was referred to Theo by a mutual friend. As a new business owner, I definitely needed the guidance for long term success.

I was referred to Theo last year to get my taxes done for my LLC. Greatest decision I could?ve made, Theo has taught me so much for my business, he?s not only the greatest tax man there is, he is THE Tax Man! I?ve gained a life long companion doing business with Theo. Theo is very professional and takes his time with all his clients and explains everything thoroughly. When it comes to a challenge Theo will surpass it with flying colors every time!

Theo and team do an incredible job of breaking down and understanding your money. They slowly walk through your expenses for the year, where you spent your money and how it can affect you moving forward. Overall I will continue to have my business with Theo and the Kagabo Consulting team and have encouraged friends and family to begin their journey with this team as well. 5/5 stars and my business has taken off with Theo helping me maneuver through questions I didn't know how to answer.

Theo and his team are top notch. They handle my books as well as save me a ton come tax time. Every decision is well thought out and executed based on financial plans for the future. Theo stays educated on his industry and simply doesn?t let Uncle Sam earn a dollar they don?t deserve.

Theo was recommended to me to do my taxes and I couldn?t be more pleased to have chosen him to do them. He is extremely professional and is the reason why I started my first business this year. His professionalism is amazing and is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of business. It doesn?t matter what time of the day it is he never fails to answer any questions I have and is extremely reliable. I HIGHLY recommend his services! He knows exactly what he?s doing.

Theo went above and behind out of his way, to help me out. I was lost and thrown to the street by an old accountant of mine who left me of a tax bill of 50k and Theo was able to sit down and strategize what we can do to learn from that mistake. He truly cares about his clients and wants everyone to know exactly what is going on at any time of the day! I recommend Theo to anyone who?s looking for an accountant. He?s on the ball!

This was my first year doing adult taxes and Theo made the process so easy! He HOOKED ME UP on my taxes, and walked me through the process so I had the knowledge to understand what was going on. Definitely looking forward to working with Kagabo Consulting for the years to come. Highly recommend

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.
