Very nice ladies working here. Came here to do a live scan. Very quick and efficient. This place is very clean and well maintained.
I recently visited this shopping center to purchase my weekly supply of seafood. I've always liked the shopping experience at Seafood City because the prices on their fish is usually affordable, the fish is usually always fresh, and lately they've begun to take further steps to have a their staff assist you with selecting items from the displays. This helps to avert the unintentional spread of bacteria as they've been times when I've observed customers who truly don't know the correct way to safely handle o
Plainly stated: this little Center caters to the Asian culture- A well stocked Fish Market, Jolly Bee fast food, Valerios & Red Ribbon Bakeries, Thai food?? you gotta go yourself. You won't be disappointed. Out door parking available.
Honestly my favorite Jollibee and right next to all these other asain food places, including a supermarket and bakeries. So underrated and if you ever want amazing chicken and spaghetti, etc you should most definitely go here!
Im very satisfied with the services that Meriedith has always provided threw out the years. She has great customer service. My family and i recommend her business.
Barely any parking, customers cant drive and the lines are always extremely long. Other than that they have an array of fresh exotic seafood, meat and vegetables for a relatively good price.
The parking layout is horrid, think bumper car style. The space lines are very poorly marked if they are at all. The owners of this lot clearly put in as little effort as possible to keep it maintained.
Quick trip to Seafood City, smaller than the other Filipno markets i know and slightly less selection but quick and friendly service
Came do dentist Jovita A. Barcena D.M.D inc. And are truly happy with her knowledge and skills. And completely impressed by the super sterile and safe anitcovid precautions! They take every precaution possible for customers and staff to stay safe! Great staff.
In this plaza, we got Seafood City, Jollibee, Chowking, and other popular Filipino favorites for grocery amd food.
My filipino fastfood quick fix. Love the Jollibee spaghetti and Fried Chicken! Try the peach mango pie too.
Fish market is very good, here at this store you can get the fish and the ingredients to make a good soup, seafood soup!
Nice lady working here. Nice of the beaten path kind of place. Came to do a Live Scan.
Lots of Filipino goodies, Thai and Korean food and of course the always yummy Jollibee.

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.
