I've used Ryan and his team for several years now for my business and personal taxes. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He also worked to get all penalties and interest removed from a prior tax year before he worked with me that had somehow made it to a collection agency without my knowledge the debt even existed. We have now added some mid-year tax planning which I have found to be very beneficial.
I have known Ryan for over 5 years and he has helped me at every stage of my business. From providing me with direction on how to handle my finances as a startup to continually advising me of the ever changing tax code as my business has grown. He has handled both my personal and business taxes since 2019. Unlike most CPAs he always makes time to answer all of your questions no matter how big or small. Ryan and his team are the business and tax advisors I highly recommend to all business owners.
Ryan and his team have been a great find for me and my business. I was left high and dry by another accounting service and Ryan took the time to get me through the tough times and get my tax situation under control. They are very thorough and think of their customer first when it comes to helping us save money. They are very willing to answer questions in a timely manner. Great customer service!
I am so pleased to have been introduced to Ryan and his team a few years back! It has been the best experience and decision I have ever made in regard to management of my tax needs. Ryan and his team are very polite and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I have. I highly recommend them to anyone and look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.
Ryan and his team have been instrumental in providing my family, our business, and me personally, excellent tax advice. Ryan is always available to answer any questions my family and I have, not only on US based tax (federal and state) planning but, also, for international tax related issues. Professional, practical, and ethical advise, plain and simple. I thoroughly recommend Ryan and his team.
Ryan has been filing my tax return for 6 years. His team works very professionally, timely, accurate and proving the best tax return. I strongly recommend Ryan. 5 stars service!!!!!
We have used Ryan and his team for over 3 years for both personal and business taxes. Ryan is happy to answer questions as they come up and him and his team are always happy to help. Last year he even held a tax seminar that was super helpful and informative of what is going on. Highly recommend him for all your tax services!
Our Company is proud to have Ryan as our right hand when handling our tax information. Not only is he a great friend, but a great aid that helps us to make the process easier. From a business level, to even a personal level, Ryan and his team are nothing but the best. We are grateful to have him!
Ryan and his team have done our bookkeeping and tax reports efficiently for three years. The team is always very kind and easy to work with. We feel so grateful to have Ryan to guide us on any CPA decision related to it. Growing fast in a new business has many requirements we need to understand in detail and be accountable. We feel confident in focusing on our company and letting RP Jones support us with tax reports. Ryan and Tram always answer all our questions and concerns. Wolvestown LLC
RP Jones was recommended by a family friend and has been truly excellent. I have been helping my older parents with their finances and this included finding a service to prepare their taxes. RP Jones worked with me to help my parents gather the necessary documents and were extremely patient with my parents learning to navigate reviewing and signing. RP Jones took the time to meet with me initially and he as well as his staff were personable and knowledgeable. I was very pleased with the quality of the serv
I?ve used Ryan for several years to do taxes ever since my returns got a little more complicated. Ryan is really friendly, and his services keep on improving with easier ways to securely provide documents. When I?ve had questions about the information in my returns, he?s answered them promptly, and he clearly knows what he?s doing. Rates are also very reasonable, which makes coming back year over year a really easy decision!
I hired Ryan to do my estate taxes since my husband passed away the previous year. He did an outstanding job collecting my tax materials and ensuring all the documents were filed. As time has gone by Ryan has helped me several times answer questions that arose from the estate. His responses are always prompt. Ryan will be doing my income taxes this year and I look forward to continuing our relationship.
Ryan and his team have been doing my taxes for many years now. Everyone provides terrific service, is uber-knowledgeable about changes and updates to tax law, and prepares my annual returns quickly and accurately. Having someone like RP Jones CPA that I trust makes tax time less "taxing."

I really enjoy working with Ryan. He purchased my old CPA business that I was with for 30+ years and I have been very happy with him ever since and plan to be with him until I retire. He helped me when my partner pasted away. He did all the filings for me as I didn't know what to do. Thank you for all your help, Ryan.

I?ve hired tax accountants for preparation of S Corp and personal returns for over 20 years. Began using RP Jones, CPA last year and wished I had found them years ago. They are thorough, knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with, but they separate themselves from others I?ve used by their proactive and responsive communication. I?d highly recommend you give them a try.
RP Jones is a high class accounting office. They help you with any tax problems or issues that you have with your tax and payroll. Basically anything that has to do with your business. Ryan is a well qualified CPA and also his assistant Maria Olvera. I believe Maria Olvera is in charge of my account. I recommend them 100%
They've been our go-to for all things taxes and business advice. They're very knowledgeable and helpful. We started working with them for our personal tax return and eventually they helped us for our LLC/S-Corp. They now do both our personal and business taxes. They really get the big picture and the little details that matter. Highly recommend for all tax and business services.
Would agree, very helpful to those unfamiliar with US tax system and IRS. 100% customer focused. Ryan is able to move with the times and stay on top of tax developments. He did a great job on Solar panels tax exemptions.
I have worked with RP Jones, CPA firm for several years and have nothing but wonderful things to say about the firm. They are fabulous, always on top of everything, handle everything with professionalism and speed. I would highly recommend this firm for any tax related issues, as I already have referred several of my clients to him. He's GREAT!!!!!
Mr. Jones and Ms. Tran were very easy to work with. My wife and I came across a rather complicated (or at least to me laypeople not well versed in finance/accounting/etc) tax situation this year. Mr. Jones took the time to call me and explain what had happened. Ms. Tran communicated well and frequently. It was a very seamless and quick process to file with the IRS.
Excellent CPA and Tax & Accounting Firm in Houston. Ryan is very knowledgeable and we feel very confident with his advice, especially when it comes to complex corporate tax returns and IRS Tax Law.

I have been doing my taxes with RP Jones, CPA services for the last 4 years. When I switched it was the best decision I could of have made. I never have problems filing for taxes and it is always a pleasant experience.
I cannot say enough good things about Ryan! Even though I did not end up needing to hire him to prepare my taxes, he took the time to explain to me in detail what I needed to do to handle future cryptocurrency tax declarations. I was very impressed at how knowledgeable he is regarding the tax implications in the area of digital media and currency (he being a trader of cryptocurrency himself). I will certainly be going to him for any future tax needs. Thank you again, Ryan!
I hired Ryan after he was refered to me by a friend. I am extremely happy with his service after having to switch CPA after 15 years but he did a great job. I will be going ob my 3rd year, thanks Ryan.
For the last two years, RP Jones has handled the U.S. income tax filings on behalf of my wife and me as well as our children's trusts. My tax situation is probably not the easiest to address, since I live and work outside the U.S. But RP Jones has skillfully applied the income exclusions and tax credits that are available to Americans living abroad.
My husband and I use Ryan for our annual tax filing. He is very helpful and provides great tax planning advice for the upcoming year.

Professional in every sense
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.
