He?s been handling both my personal taxes and my new S-Corp setup, and it?s been such a smooth experience. On top of that, he?s helped me out with financial planning ? stuff like managing income, assets, and just figuring out the bigger picture.

Professional, efficient, effective. Outcome was a complete turnaround from our previous tax years with other preparers. We expected to owe this year, but Oren surprised us with a double refund. As someone who takes digital privacy very seriously, I felt secure with the way in which data was digitally provided to Oren. His communication with us set the tone of his thoroughness and diligence. We felt as though he looked at this year?s (as well as previous years?) taxes with a fine-toothed-comb. Oren was k
I just switched to working with Oren this past year and it has been such an amazing change. He is hard working, extremely transparent, and very knowledgeable. He goes out of his way to help out, even during weekends and holidays! I have learned a lot from working with him and trust his advice wholeheartedly. I strongly recommend him for anyone looking for an upgrade from their current accountant!
This has been my first year working with Oren. It has been night and day compared with my prior accountant. He is always available for questions, and gives thorough and well thought out explanations. He says himself that his goal is to educate his clients to help us understand the process and make financially sound decisions. I feel extremely confidently that my finances are in good hands.
I have used Oren for several years on a Trust return. He has always done a detailed and thorough job.

Oren is a no nonsense guy that gets the job done efficiently and accurately. He asks all the right questions and provides security in the knowledge that the tax prep is being done carefully by an experienced pro.
I had switched accounting firms and am working with Oren. I only wish I had made the move sooner. Oren made the transition smooth and seamless. What a difference it is to be with someone who explains everything, is beyond smart and knowledgeable, responsive, ethical, organized, and cares about his clients. I am finally in great hands. I highly recommend Oren Hen!
Oren did an amazing job at completing our taxes with such short notice. We reached out to him after a referral from a friend; as we were dealing with another accountant who was not responsive and continued to miss deadlines. Gave oren a call and explained our situation and he immediately took us on and went right to work completing our business and personal taxes in a thorough and expedited manner. We will continue to us him going forward and will continue to refer him to friends and family.
I worked with Oren Hen for the first time this year (2022), and was very pleased with his personable and professional service. He explained a few new things to me, which I was unaware of before as my knowledge about tax law is quite limited. I felt I could ask anything, and he was patient with educating me on some important information so that I could file on time and correctly. He always got back to me in a very timely fashion, which I also appreciate. I definitely recommend Oren for all your tax needs. I
Thorough, reliable, and responsive - Oren is the guy you can trust with your accounting.

After working with many different CPAs, I have finally found the one! Oren has been a joy to work with.

I have felt extremely comfortable working with him for several years now and have even referred many of my close friends to his services.
I've been working with Oren for many years now from when my business was just a solo sole proprietorship to new opening my nonprofit and having an s-corp with 5 team members. I wouldn't have been able to grow with as much grace as I have without Oren's incredible guidance and support. He truly CARES about his clients, which I find so valuable and knows the rules inside out. You know someone is good when you recommend them to all of your friends and family--that's exactly what I've done with Oren. I couldn't

Oren has been the best thing that has happened in 2020! While the rest of the world was falling apart, Oren helped me put my financial world back together again. I had years of taxes to fix, which felt insurmountable. Oren not only helped me get organized and get filed, but also acted as a liaison between myself and the IRS during a stressful audit, which was a huge stress relief for me! Most importantly, he saved me a TON of money and also educated me on how to register and organize my business in a way th

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.
