Customer Reviews

I was looking for HELP with my delinquent IRS taxes of 3 years. I called multiple tax firms for advice on what I can do with a very abusive IRS Revenue Agent. I only make 21 dollars an hr. I'm a widower of 6 yrs. So life is already difficult without your partner of 30 yrs. The Revenue officer sent me A Final Notice to Levy. I was about to give up and I ran into Premier Tax and alot of people gave high marks to a tax Attorney named Ary. So I gave my info and submitted what my dilemma was hoping to get a ph

I called Premier Tax Attorney and spoke with Ary and this guy is very honest and helpful. Don't hesitate to call because he will let you know if he can help you with your problem or the issue is something you can resolve on your own.

Ary Ariazand, Premier Tax Attorney, does amazing work. If you have issues with the IRS call Ary. Three words. Personable. Trustworthy. Effective. Ary reviewed my situation. Discussed with me the options to resolving it. Then he executed a plan that resulted total resolution of my issues. I can now move on with my life, free from the burden of the IRS looming over me. Thank you Ary!

Ary was amazing from the first phone call. He took over after I was burned from Optima, and I was very trepidatious in the beginning of the process, but he successfully resolved my tax problem faster than we even expected and I would recommend him to everyone! Thank you Ary for being a rare gem in the tax world

Incredibly helpful with personal income tax. Highly recommended to at least call them if you have challenges. They were helpful with resolving my challenges and with contacting the Franchise Tax Board of California, even though it was only a free consult over the phone.

I called and asked for advice on what to do about this person that has been calling my father who is 88, saying they were the IRS and making. My Dad think he owed them! I used google and found this Lawyer who gave me a free consultation on the spot and resolved the situation! Ari is AWESOME!!! I would look him up before anyone else if I had a tax issue! I reallyl appreciated the time he took to confirm what I thought this person calling was about. It was a SCAM and Ari explained everything to me. It really

I can't rave enough about Ary. Honestly he is hands down the best.... THE BEST!!! He doesn't have multiple perfect 5 star reviews for nothing. Ary is knowledgeable, kind and on top of it. I honestly don't know how he does it. Not only is he helping me get out of the mess i made for myself he is also explaining to me how to get it right the next time. I hope those of you who are also in distress, in a mess are able to get out of the mess and figure out how to get on the straight path later. I wish i would ha

Premier Tax Attorney provided me with great advice with an IRS question regarding a bill that I received. Premier Tax Attorney helped me plan on how to handle my situation. I am feeling very relieved with the help I received and feel like I have a better grasp on what I need to do. Thanks for your help!

I received a free consultation from Ary Ariazand. Although, we both determined that their services didn't best fit my needs, Ary was amazing! He was really helpful, communicative, quick to respond, and empathetic to my concerns. I would definitely recommend this firm, and more specifically Ary if you are having tax troubles and need some help and advice.

I just had the most best experience with a tax consultant Ari was his name he was such a joy to talk with and I had no idea of how to handle my issues but of course Ari new he also gave me some other information I didn't know even existed.grate people person. I highly recommend them again thanks Ari

Went to see Ary and a he did a fanatic job on our Offer and Compromise with the IRS. We had dealt with the IRS on our own and was paying a crazy amount of money on our back taxes. Ary figured out that we were paying to much and worked an offer. We couldn't have gotten such a fanastic offer on our own. Thank you so much for giving us a much needed relief of years and I mean years of dealing with the IRS. Karen Andryausakas

Ary Ariazand assisted me. He was very helpful and gave a lot of good advice. He verbally guided me in the direction that I would need to take in order to pay my debts and fix my credit. Very good experience!! Hands down.

All I can honestly say is awesome! I had some tax questions and problems. They/he answer my questions over the phone. Unlike most that want you to come in and make a consultation appointment before even hearing your issue and if they can help. I suggest giving them a try before wasting your time with others.

I was lost in what I had to do with my tax situation. The first ring Ary picked up and immediately understood my situation and answered my questions. You're not going to be disappointed!

Thank you so much Ary for helping me. It was a pleasure speaking with you today. Your knowledge, professionalism, and Immediate service has helped make my life easier. Thank you God Bless

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.
