We have been using Professional Tax Services for over four years. As busy individuals, their virtual services have been the perfect fit for us. We upload our documents through their online portal, Tax Dome. An email is sent out when your taxes return document is completed as well as if your tax return has been accepted. Communication is typically handled via email or messages through Tax Dome, though we prefer email. We usually receive a response within the time frame listed on Yelp?two to three business

I was in a situation where I needed immediate guidance on stock options and tax implications. A quick search for tax preparation yielded several results. I contacted several firms and had conversations with a few. Professional Tax Services was by far the most responsive and had the most domain expertise.

In short, within 2 days I

Good online tools. Efficient way to provide data, sign returns and make payments.

I highly recommend Professional Tax Services. They live up to their name..."Professional" !

Used to love having Neil do our taxes until this year. We moved out of state and it took him over one week to complete our taxes. It normal takes him an hour in the office but since I'm now out of state I guess that means you can take a week plus to complete my taxes. All good. What really bothers me is the amount he tells me I owe on CA was completely wrong and the refund from the IRS was over $7,000 off. That's a big mistake. His response was "I must have used a template when emailing you the amounts." Th

Neil has been doing my taxes for many years now, and always does a fast and accurate job. He's also helpful and responsive to my questions throughout the year. I wouldn't trust anyone else!

Professional Tax Services has been doing my taxes for the past 8 years and I couldn't be more pleased! They can accommodate your needs in a variety of ways. Some years I have complex issues where they take their time and walk me through things, while explaining it in an easy to understand manner. And when my tax situation is straight-forward, they get me in and out in a hurry! I never have to worry about my taxes! I highly recommend them to take care of you!

Given the circumstance of the past year, we have been very patient with Neil and team about our tax returns. We found multiple mistakes in the first round which was later fixed after multiple attempts to contact the office. After failing to receive?our tax return, we once again reached out to the team and were promised follow up within 1 week, 2 weeks max. Now 2 months later we have yet to hear anything from the team despite our greatest efforts.

Neil did good job last year so that I went to him again for my personal tax file this year. He is very professional and efficient. He response to my question quickly with email.

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.
