I always know I will be taken care of when I visit. I have been helped by Bianca and Martha and I appreciate their service.
I came to Rivera?s because I was recommended to go see Bianca. I made a same day appointment and waited no more than 5 minutes to be called into her office. When I got there I was greeted right away by the receptionist. Bianca is very professional she made my tax filing so easy.I highly recommend Rivera Tax services.
Went there to get live scan done, it was done fast. Great service by Martha, she was so kind and sweet. She made sure everything was correct with no errors. Thank you
Was very easy walked right in and completed everything staff was very helpful and kind great service will be back :)
Decided to try this company for my live scan instead after realizing that they UPS store location I had planned on using was completely disregarding safe handling of their client's sensitive information. I'm so happy to report that this company was very professional and I felt that my personal information was completely safe here and handled with care. Beyond that, I was in and out in no time at all!
I come here for live scans periodically, they?re extremely fast and polite, I?m always in and out in less than 15 minutes.
This place provided such a relaxing and organized environment. I came in for fingerprints and it was all so easy. They were very transparent and helpful with any questions that I had. I was helped by Bianca who was such a kind and quick working person. Parking was easy and they are quick no matter the amount of people inside.
This is the only place I like to get my fingerprints/livescans done Bianca, is amazing. She always makes the process quick & easy. The front office is very knowledgeable & pays attention to detail. Came here for Teacher & notary live scans. :)
I've used their services several times and they are always pleasant and fast! Even when I witnessed a customer walk out without paying Miss Martha stayed nice and calm. They will always be the go to for my clerical needs.
I was in and out in 20 minutes -- Bianca, the notary I was assigned, was very kind! :)
Went to do live scan fingerprinting and had a good experience. The staff was polite, professional, and very informative. The waiting room was kept very clean and had great interior design with a tv to keep me entertained. I highly recommend this place to do fingerprinting and their other businesses.
The lobby is so cute and serene! Front desk lady was super informative and kind. Bianca took my fingerprints and was super friendly and helpful! Lovely team and office.
Best place for a LiveScan! Super helpful and quick!
Arrived 5 min before appointment for livescan fingerprint and greeted by a friendly receptionist. Waited in the welcome lobby area just couple of min before called by a friendly staff member to bring me inside for scanning. Very efficient, cordial and quick, will come again. Realized later that you can walk-in.
Thank you so Martha.. she was able to find my 2 yr old fingerprint request form. Ultimately she saved me from spending $47 for livescan and fingerprinting. Thanks so much. She's so nice and helpful.
I first called to get information like 2 minutes before they closed. Lucky for me, they answered and took the time to answer all of my questions. They didn?t rush me to get off, which I totally appreciate. They were very informative and patient with me. During my appointment, she broke down all the details on fees and the process was very quick. Very professional, very clean. I definitely recommend you check out this place!
Very helpful! Lots of great services.
Came here with an appointment at the earliest available time, and I was done less than 5 minutes. The staff is very accommodating, and the office is spring-clean. The charges are all in their website, very reasonable price. Will come back here again.
Best place for fingerprint Bianca is great at her work.
I should have read reviews before going here... I won't come back. They charge a lot of unreasonable junk fees here. And there was no notice of the charges in plain sight while the lady that works the front desk is not a strong communicator. Meh I guess they got the job done but I am not too happy with their customer service. COMMUNICATION IS KEY IN ANY BUSINESS
I went in for a Live Scan appointment and was helped immediately. Service was quick and friendly! Will definitely return for any future needs.
Fingerprints advertised $25 and charge you more then double to $60 when all said and done. The leaves a nice nasty re-review. That response is a personification of who your doing business with. Owner calls us a liar about the price increase and demands for proof/other places "cheaper" - Found any police station for $10 (Norco) Also, when McDonald's sells you a burger they don't come at you after and say "Well the ingredients are extra!" Don't support these crooks
Martha Rivera helped me every step of the way regarding the paperwork I brought in. i was lost with what to do but with her guidance and knowledge it made the entire process 10x easier on myself! i would've been scrambling to get things signed and finished had she not stepped in to help
Came to do my live scan for pharmacy technician and the receptionist Bianca was so friendly she greeted me with a smile and explained in detail the process of live scan and how long it would take for the board to receive my results definitely will be coming back for any other services I would ever need
I've been here 3 times for lives scans, going on my 4th. They are all very friendly and the service is fast. I was in and out within 15 min of arriving to my appt.
Got finger printed same day, walk-in.
Very clean!! So adorably decorated!!!! I have come here each and everytime i have needed a livescan! Martha is especially kind!!
I am so happy that I decided to come to this place to do my taxes for the second time. The first place I went to last year was so bad I didn't know what was going on at all and they really messed up my paperwork. I would also like to mention that I brought my paperwork from the taxes I did for 2016 and they fixed everything here at Riveras taxes and I'm getting the money that I'm owed back. I was helped by Gloria Rivera here at Rivera income Tax & Notary, she is such a sweet person and she answered all the
Very nice space and the lady who did my scans was very nice
Bianca was wonderful and gave high quality service ! She provided a very welcoming environment and was extremely personable. Overall fantastic experience !
Couldn?t be more impressed. Gone here twice and it has been quick, professional, and easy! They are so nice and the waiting area is large and decorated so nicely!
We came to ask for fingerprint. Also made the lady read what FBI sent me instructions. She said I have to sent it by mail. Then I got to know from my friend that go to USPS and they will do electronic Fingerprints and will send that was mandatory and paper finger card was an option. The lady made fool of me and charged $60.00 from me and my wife?s finger print. I really don?t recommend greedy people who make money by fooling others. I asked her two times that it is written that they need electronic submissi
I always get a good refund from them on my taxes and in time. This year I needed to get my returns from them 3 years prior and they were really busy and they still managed to retrieve my statements from way back I appreciate them because I was trying to buy a house at the time and they came in clutch Thank you guys
I got the change of car title here to avoid the dmv and a couple months later I go to the dmv to renew the registration and they said that wherever I got the change of name they somehow messed up and I came back to get it fixed and then when I explained to the women the problem she began to yell I told her to calm down but she started going off about how it?s not her fault that I had to go deal with it at the dmv when the dmv sent me to come to the place where they did the change of title .... this plac
Did livescan fingerprinting. Very fast and easy. Staff was great and easy to work with. Very efficient.
Thank you for working on our income taxes on such short notice. You went above and beyond to accomodate our needs. I made you work on a weekend, very grateful. We're staying with you for all our tax needs.
the owner of the building "Gloria" was on her phone the entire time with her daughter asking about what shoes to buy, while she was doing my taxes. Finally she get off the phone and 2 weeks later i get my tax refund back and there is 300$ missing. Called this ignorant place to get an explanation, apparently Gloria the owner or whatever her name is went and changed my tax return amount because her and her daughter do not have the slightest clue of what they are doing!
Rivera, offers a lot of helpful services. The business is very clean. great service in and out in minutes no wait unlike AAA definitely recommend Rivera inc.
Went here to get two documents notarized by acknowledgement, the notary lady refused saying that I must sign in front of her and that her 8 years experience as a notary required higher ethics than I wanted and that I should go somewhere else. I didn't want to argue with her and left to go somewhere else. It's scary that this business with near a decade of experience doesn't know that notaries in California, Florida and Texas are not authorized to witness signatures as part of their duties. This place needs

I have been going here for years. They are fast and courteous. Don?t go anywhere else. Go here.
It was fast and easy. Staff is friendly. I was there for about 10 minutes.
The first important matter is how the environment is arranged for complete protection. Use of safety measures such as gloves, sanitizer, distancing, and cleanliness.
Very Quick and Easy, and such Great Service. Thank you so much Rivera Service!!!
Gloria is awesome she really helped me out, it was really fast in and out best place to do your taxes ask for gloria very nice people

(Translated by Google) My family and I have been here 3 times for different procedures. They are very friendly and the service is fast. We are happy with this office but the reason we don't give it 5 stars is because they don't lend the bathroom to their clients. They should reconsider this since a month ago I went with my mother who is over 75 years old and needed to use the bathroom and they denied her. That their clients can use the bathroom is very important since the wait can be more than an hour and t

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.
