There when you need them! We have been using LGH Consulting for our tax needs for many, many years. Working with them has always been easy and painless. (We still might owe sometimes, but that?s the truth). To me, the best thing about LGH is that they are there when you need them AFTER the appointment. That unexpected letter from the IRS or the FTB. LGH is always just an e-mail or a phone call (or a drop-in visit) away. They always respond very promptly and try to solve the issue. We would recommend using
George and his staff at LGH Consulting did a fantastic job with our returns (business and personal). They had them completed earlier than expected, There service fees are reasonable They are very accommodating over the phone as well. I plan on using them for all my tax needs.
George is the greatest! My former accountant was great also, but he retired, and I was unsuccessful finding a suitable replacement until I discovered George 6 years ago. He looked at my tax returns from a substitute accountant I was using and immediately redid them, and instead of owing money I got a $2400 refund!!! Since then, George has been my man, and I do not have an easy filing process because I have multiple streams of income taxed in 10 states. But George has the wherewithal and patience for figu
We've been with LGH for over 20 years and consider ourselves lucky to be one of their customers. George and his staff are like family and take care of business efficiently and in a timely manner. I would hate to have to look for a replacement service as I think it would be very difficult to find.
George has been my CPA for over 20 years ... from 2 locations in Westminster to the present office in Anaheim.

George has been doing my and my husband's taxes for the last 20 years and we couldn't be happier with his services. He feels like part of the family now! He knows the tax code inside and out and never misses a deduction! At the same time he is honest and ethical and makes sure you file a tax return that won't get you audited which we never have. Can't say enough good things about George and his staff. Good old fashioned quality at a price you can afford!

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.
