FTC Land Management here. We needed to expand our business but had been struggling with the ?tug & pulls? of financial availability. Running a construction company in CA isn't easy from a financial standpoint. We knew we needed help in the form of a loan in order to accomplish our goals, but were confronted with the possibility of monetary limitations for lack of borrowing history. By chance alone, we connected with MAZO Capital and one of their representatives. There was a lot of daily conversation & corre
Peter Nguyen is very good at his work and a good person to work with! Peter had to take very little to work with on my part yet was still able to bring about outstanding results! Within a day or two he had my lift financed and I was signing the paperwork without having to pay a penny down payment! I had his cellphone number and because I work late hours and in places without a good signal, I had texted him several times after hours and he was always quick to respond. He answered every question that I had an

I had a very professional experience with Mazo, especially my contact, John Pfister (sic?). From the application, thru the Docusign, John was there, for all of my questions. He was always responsive, very clear, he is an asset to that company. I am very transparent with my opinions, and I would love to have an employee like John. Just told him thx, and I'll let everyone in my construction Cartel know that John is legit,,part of our family, my next purchases that require financing? John is in my phone. I'd s
Had a great experience working with Mazo in the purchase of a crane for my tree service.

Being a finance major I had lots of questions and they were handled with consideration and patience. Will use them again!
As a small business owner time is valuable. The team at Mazo made our loan for an equipment purchase a seamless transaction. The team keep us well informed throughout the process. Really glad we worked with them.
My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mr. Gage Gibbs for our commercial equipment purchase for our new company. He was professional, extremely helpful and answered any question we had. Being new with starting a business, I couldn't imagine having anyone else be on our side. He made the stress and worry melt away by helping us with every aspect along the way in our purchase. A very trusted man and without a doubt, we will definitely be doing business with him again in the soon future. Th
Thank you Peter! We have had the most professional service from Mazo Capital again! This was our second time dealing with them through Peter Nguyen, one of their thoroughly knowledgeable financial agents for commercial Truck purchases. Both times they came back with terms better than expected. We won't hesitate to rely on them again, they are quick, dedicated and focused on your deal. I can tell you, you will feel like you've met a new friend and one with integrity at that! Thanks again Mazo!
Joe was awesome in helping our business get the financing we needed for a Bucket truck , I recommend them A+++
This was our first corporate loan and Mazo worked with us to get exactly what we needed and helped fit everything in to our budget. It was a great experience from beginning to end and even the closing process was very easy with their docusign paperwork and a video call for notarizing everything. Shane K. was a pleasure to work with, super helpful, and extremely responsive. He would even check in daily throughout the process in case we had any questions or needed any help.
It was a pleasure working with Joe O'Brien to finance our Excavator with the bucket and mulching head. I hope to work with him again someday soon as we grow our business.

I was in the process of purchasing a trailer for my business and filled in the online form. Within minutes Shane K. called me to get the ball rolling on my loan. While working on the trailer to close the deal I checked on my insurance and it was outrageous so, I was about to cancel the deal. However Shane stepped up and agreed that the insurance was out of line. Shane then said give me a minute or two and he found me reasonable insurance. This is going above and beyond. Shane K. provided great service a

Great company to work with. Clear fast decisions. Chase was absolutely awesome every step of the way.
Andreas Willis has been outstanding helping acquire multiple trailers for my new company! He and MAZO have a lifetime customer in me for their excellent customer service and fast results!
I've been working with Victoria as a Trailer Dealer for a year and a half and I have never gotten a different experience from her. She has always been just as much kind as she is efficient, and I would recommend her every day of the week. The only problem I have is that there isn't another one of her!

From beginning to end, Peter walked us through the entire process and was very thorough in explaining the financing & payment options, contract terms, the funding process and delivery details! We will definitely use Mazo in the future!
I recently purchased a boom lift through MAZO Capital. The process was super easy, and Peter kept in constant communication every step of the way. I couldn't be happier with the service! If you need to finance heavy equipment, these are the go to folks
Got a corp loan for my dumpster business. Chase was great to work with and he kept after the small stuff until we had everything done. All staff has been great to work with during process. Funded quickly in a about a week for a new business. I thought interest rate was a little high but not a deal killer.
Working with Mazo Capital for our lending needs has been a pleasure to say the least. They work very quickly to finance our business needs, answer every one of my calls, and emails in a timely fashion. We just singed on our third loan with Mazo Capital and will continue to use them in the future as our business continues to grow. Highly recommend Connor and Kaleen!! Thank you both for all your hard work!
Peter Nguyen was great. He got me financed promptly and was a great pleasure to work with. I'll use him again.

Real good ppl to work with on getting equipment financed. Since day one when I got the first phone call they were super helpful. David Medina was the agent I worked with. Pretty cool dude! Got down to business and met all my needs. From the finance terms that I was expecting to the truck that I wanted. And trust me when I say this.. he was very very patient on finding me the right truck. I only wanted one model in specific and we both looked everywhere for about 2 months. He took care of calling the agencie
Joey made getting a loan very easy, he works fast and in a detailed manner to make sure all needs are taken care of. Excellent rate, quick and painless process.
We were previously approved for a piece of equipment through a different finance company-but the terms of the loan wasn't a good deal for our small business. We started looking around at different dealerships, our salesperson connected us with MAZO Capital for our financing needs. John was able to get us a much better deal and we are now owners of our equipment, not just leasees. He was professional, knowledgeable, informative and attentive. And it helped that he was just a phone call or email away if w
The whole team at mazo did a wonderful job helping with our finance needs. They were quick efficient and thoughtful every step of the way. I would highly recommend, and wish them the best!
Darren Cowan was a great pleasure to work with. True professionalism shows his big amount of experience talking and working with clients of his. Thank you Darren, and looking forward to work with you again!

Awesome company. I applied for financing for a towable boom lift and was approved within 24 hours. Victoria was on my loan fast and very polite. She got my loan processed super quick with awesome rates. Thank you mucho mucho. I will be using this company for all my future purchases.
He gets it done. Great guy to work with.
I personally dealt with Andreas Willis, he has exceptional customer service skills, kind, and professional. He corresponded with me in a timely matter, I was the one not keeping up with the flow, and always followed up. I would love to do business with Andreas again in the near future he is a great guy!
In May 2021 I was in the market to purchase a machine. The dealer referred me to Mazo Capital Solutions and that is when I started working with Peter Nguyen. I spoke with him on the phone at first and found him extremely professional and on my side to help in the financing. The same day I spoke with him he followed with an email providing a summary of our conversation. He indicated that applying would only take a few minutes and it could be secured the same day with no obligation on my part. His experi
These guys were absolutely amazing. I had the pleasure of working with Josh Pfister, he save me $20-$30k on my new purchase and closed in record time. It's been a long time since I have seen this level of customer service. I will be recommending them to everyone I know and I will be back for my next one!
Mazo was very easy to work with. I worked with Peter Nguyen. He's an excellent communicator and very responsive. I would definitely use Mazo again.
Peter was prompt in correspondence and made the terms very comprehensive adjusting the most to suit my companies needs. Will definitely be a returning customer. -Donovan Dellinger Dellinger Industries Skagit County Washington
Very easy to work with! Quite satisfied with the service we received. Excited for Allen Bros. Flooring to receive a new forklift. Highly recommend MAZO, thanks Peter Nguyen.
Had a really great experience with MAZO Capital. I'm self employed so I have used a few different companies in the past and none of them were as easy and fast as this company? definitely will use them in the future if needed!
Worse experience ever, kept dragging me along and never a direct answer, then when the answer would come it was days later. This was a business transaction not a decision on what kind of vehicle I wanted, it was time sensitive. And the interest rate was ridiculously high. All I can say is my experience with Mazo Capital was not a good one, just watch what happens when you deal with them, a lot of double talk. Good luck
Eric at Mazo was excellent. Since our first contact, he was responsive, professional, and looking forward to help us with our business needs. Will definitely contact them again!
Excellent service and smooth transaction. Victoria Woods is a highly skilled professional. My personal and business information is secure in her capable hands. She took initiative when necessary and immediate action required to make the deal. Mazo Capital is my preferred provider for commercial financing and Victoria is definately my go to representive. A delightful person and a pleasure to work with. Thank you! And keep up the good work....
Mazo Capital was very professional, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. They completed our loan with ease, and got our equipment on the job quick! Look forward to doing busy with them again very soon. -Brad, Extreme Divers
Thank you Andreas and the whole team! Andreas was amazing to work with and made the process easy and simple! Have used them to purchase a couple different pieces of equipment now with them! Highly recommend working with Andreas!

Peter will go above and beyond to ensure all deals are given personal attention and close quickly. Thank you MAZO Capital, Thank you Peter!
Had a great experience financing new inventory for my dumpster rental company, Andreas was exceptional during the entire process, great communication and made the process very easy.
Mazo Capital was really great to deal with, my agent Conner really Means business?? I don't have much business & personal credit so I look risky to lenders, Conner listened to my situation & got me the best deal, payments are right within my budget and the process was quick, no hassle at all. I highly recommend Mazo!
MAZO is amazing. Looked at a dozer and the next day we were approved filling out paperwork and then picking up the dozer. They are fast friendly and on top of their game. They get 10 ??
Customer service was great. The team helped me get approved. I had no problem with the people that helped me. I would consider anyone to go through them for financing.

Peter was great to work with highly recommend MAZO Capital.
Victoria is always professional and friendly when I work with her, great customer service and communication. I highly recommend her and Mazo, she'll treat you right!
I have been buying equipment since 1986 and have never been taken advantage of like I have with this company. I asked if the loan had a penalty for early pay off and was told no. When asked for payoff after a year of payments the payoff was more than the original loan. I asked explain this to me when you told me there was no penalty for early payoff. Oh well there isn't you just have to pay the full amount of payments to pay off loan. If this isn't a penalty for early payoff then what is a penalty.
Dealing with mazo was one of the best experience in purchasing my new truck Connor is thee best communication was on point phones calls was on point and I would definitely recommend this company to as many people
These guys hooked us up on our new dozer. Victoria made the experience easy and awesome
Slater was so helpful and patient with us to get him all documents he needed for our deal. Highly recommend Amazon Capital and Slater Shaw!!
Andres was awesome! Couldn't have got my business running without him! Multiple deals funded. Highly recommended!!
Experience couldn't have gone any smoother. John Brozovic walked we through the whole process painlessly, I never felt pressured. I would highly recommend mazo and John.

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.
