Ramin's services are really great if you have a more complex tax situation. I filed with him for the 2021 and 2022 tax seasons, and in both cases we were able to handle everything over email! I'm sure you can call him as well, but that isn't necessary if you prefer to complete the steps online. Would highly recommend this tax service for complicated filings!
Found Ramin through Google as I was seeking tax accounting advice on an unexpected issue with a previous year's tax filings.

He was able to resolve my issue within 2 weeks of working together. Would recommend!

Ramin provided amazing service while helping me amend two-years worth of returns for my DC/VA taxes. He was quick to respond via email and repeatedly willing to hop on the phone to answer any questions I had. I will definitely be coming back to him for my annual filings next year!
Significant edit: I wrote the original review with 5 star after Rami prepared my 2022 tax return but before I received any response from the IRS. Because Rami offered a 10% discount if you wrote a 5-star only review, I disingenuously rated his service 5-star. Now, I want to correct my review because I don?t want to mislead people who like me read the reviews carefully before making a hiring decision. I want to emphasize that his competency is very questionable. Case in point: he erroneously filed my return
I've been filing my federal and state taxes with My Personal Tax CPA, LLC for the last 3 years and it's been great! Ramin was always available to answer any questions my husband and I had whether it be via email or phone. Very flexible and responds quickly. Highly recommend!

2017-2019 Our experience with Ramin Mohammad was exceptional. We were a military family and always had our taxes done on base. This was the first year we had to do them outside and looked frantically at yelp reviews to try and find a decent qualified person. My Personal Tax, surely delivered. Our taxes are not overly complicated but we do have multiple sources of income, including rental property, from different states. We were afraid we'd end with someone with limited experience or paying lots of $$$$

I have been using Ramin for several years. He has never disappointed and has helped us with taxes and related matters without a hitch for those years. I highly recommend Ramin for his professionalism and knowledge of the tax world.
First year working with Ramin, he was professional and answered any questions I had. If he didn't know the answer during the conversation, then he would research it further. He guided me on the documentations to track and file as I was dealing in crypto investments and needed professional advice on filing gains/losses properly. There was some tax documents I had forgotten to submit in my tax filing and he immediately checked in to double check with me.
We have used My Personal Tax CPA for the last 2 years and feel confident in getting professional service. We receive prompt and knowledgeable replies to our questions and highly recommend the services of My Personal Tax CPA.
What a strange experience. Had a very nice conversation with Ramin on Monday this week. The guy seemed confident, professional, very able and organized. He gave me a cost range that I agreed to, and promised to get back in touch later that day with a questionnaire to help arrive at a more precise quote, with an appointment to follow. I was looking forward to forging a long term relationship with a reliable CPA. Then I was completely and bizarrely ghosted. I texted back on one day, and left a voicemail on an

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.
