Customer Reviews

Mr Rakhra is nice person and respectful staff also really nice and working good ???????????????? Good staff work Good ??

I would recommend 10/10. I've been coming to Rakhra Tax Service for several years now. Mr. Rakhra is very knowledgeable, helpful & has a pleasant personality. Good place to get taxes done & even get life insurance.

Mr. Rakhra is very knowledgeable. He is also very helpful and helped me with my IRS issue. Furthermore, he also provided education on taxes and life insurances. He is very kind and very calm and explains everything in great detail.

i apply my work permit and i give there fees but i didn't get my receiving letter and i went again to apply and they ask me again there fees but when i already paid and i didn't get anything. i took their service so it is their responsibility to work on my file and provide me letter so i came unhappy and they don't listen. and their fees also expensive then the others .

Very good work.I apply my kids OCI card.they did great job and expain everything.young boy with glass handle us.definitely recommend

Rakhra Uncle is wonderful. We were recommended by my husbands employer last year to come in and uncle did an amazing job. He is so polite and very knowledgeable. We were guided in the right direction. We came this year as well, and hopefully will continue to come for years to come.

Amazing staff. Extremely kind people. Went above and beyond. They even offered me water and tea (which was delicious) Went smoothly and was easy too. The notary even offered to help fill stuff in for me (I have carpal tunnel and Rheumatoid Arthritis). Definitely recommend and will be coming back here from now on. No hidden fees either. Thank You.

Mr. Rakhra has excellent customer service skills & is very knowledgeable. My husband & I trust him with filing our taxes every year.

I am a regular client from many years and really like and appreciate how staff do their work. They are respectful and explain very thoroughly about my concerns for any matter like tax return, health insurance or Immigration filings. I noticed some people here gave bad reviews. There was someone at the office who was talking bad and rude to the staff and was not wanting to listen to staff. But I liked the way they handled the rude client professionally. If you talk with respect you get respect back.

I want to take the time to give this company a 5 star rating! This entire team goes above and beyond expectations. They are always available to assist with all needs or concerns and have consistently, for nearly 2 years now, provided me with the most satisfied customer service by Narinder I highly recommend Rakhra tax service and immigration to everyone!

Rakhra Tax Service is doing awesome job I am filling my taxes with them from last 12 years. I always feel better with their experience and customer service. I look forward to file my taxes many more years ahead.

Best service we are coming from Bakersfield last 2 years Rakhra Uncle is wonderful.He is so polite and very knowledgeable and hopefully will continue to come for years to come.

This service is really good, our passports came in really fast under a week. Immigration services are also very good.

I don't like his service . There are so many other people who does the same work at 100$ . They keep your documents at first visit. You don't get them back until you take their services .

I came in a couple of weeks ago and was helped immediately by the staff. They were professional with the clients in the shop and treated everyone with the upmost respect. I would recommend everyone to come support this family business!

Uncle and staff is very professional toward there work and all those people who are saying that they don't know how to communicate are so dumb I mean if you come to a lawyer to get something done have some knowledge about what you came for don't act like a nube Best professional and respectful place ever I definitely recommend this place

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.
