I'm a life coach, and for a solo service entrepreneur like me, partnering with trusted consultants is paramount to creativity and success. Robert took time and care to understand my story, business, and goals, asking powerful questions that helped me dig deeper and refine the way I communicate my unique selling proposition. He guided me through marketing strategy and community building as I'm seeking to aggressively grow my business and build a strong reputation. He did all this with a steady, calm, and gen
I engaged Robert to help identify blind spots and support the growth of my business. As a relatively new entrepreneur with nearly three years in business, I brought Robert on board about three months ago?and the transformation has been remarkable. The progress we've made since then has been night and day. I wholeheartedly recommend RSC's services. Robert meets with me consistently every two weeks, and each session is both insightful and motivating. My customer base has responded with overwhelming enthusia
I had the pleasure of meeting with Ronbert at RSC Business Group, and I'm truly grateful for the experience. He helped me generate fresh ideas for my business and clearly guided me through the process of opening and expanding my mindset. Working alongside him was inspiring and eye-opening. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable and supportive to help grow your business and think outside the box, Ronbert is the person to see. Highly recommended!
I had some general questions for my growing small business. Rob returned my call quickly and gave me wonderful free advice on where to start and also directed me to a colleague who could assist with one of my issues. He was extremely friendly, honest, helpful, and not pushy on trying to offer me things I did not need. I will reach out again as my business grows and definitely recommend!
Robert has an incredible ability to get straight to the heart of the matter. When we first met, I was facing major challenges and I remember being asked this one (of many) powerful questions: ?Does your life work?? My answer was no! With his guidance, I transitioned from a broken business built on sweat equity and no pay to a life and business focused on what truly matters?creating real results, wealth, and success. Attending his group workshops and one-on-one sessions was a game-changer. The workshops p
I was reluctant on getting outside help for our business but a friend of mine could not stop singing Robert's praise and finally convinced me to take a meeting. He has been fantastic ever since. He has so much knowledge about business that it feels like a disadvantage not having someone like him working with you. They also helped me find the right people to add to my team. Thanks to RSC Business Group we were able to almost double our revenue this year. They just know where you are at as a business and what
I've had the pleasure of working closely with Robert Chung, who has been instrumental in elevating my business to new heights. His support and dedication have opened doors to invaluable industry connections, which have played a significant role in my business growth. I highly recommend Robert to anyone looking to not only excel in their field but also achieve their business goals with unwavering support and expertise
Robert is extremely knowledgeable and more helpful than I had anticipated. He helped make some ambiguous things clear and get me pointed in the right direction almost immediately. I'd highly recommend giving him a call to see how he can help with businesses concerns.
RSC Business Group elevated the results in my business. My profitability, cash flow and long-term savings all increased beyond my goals and expectations. My clients saw Robert?s impact. Many of my clients states that my business is now a critical vendor of their corporation. Thank you RSC Business Group.
Robert is literally the best. I honestly am so blessed to have been able to connect with him and so far he's been helping me to make my business dream a reality
Working with RSC Business Group has been so helpful! I was skeptical before meeting with a company who purports to know how to grow my business (especially because I work in a less common field), but after just the first meeting, I started to benefit. From working together, they have 1) given me simple, powerful direction, allowing me to take small steps that would make big changes, 2) saved me time and resources by directing me away from mistakes I might have otherwise made, and 3) motivated me to take ne
Robert has been great for us. We started a few months ago now and have already in my opinion received 10x value wise. He's also been working with two of my admin team members to help get them to understand their roles and have them provide an even bigger impact for the law firm. The fact that he's local is a massive plus. My prior consultant was out of state and provided limited availability. Robert has been much more interested in understanding our current immediate challenges so we can strategize how to s
I'm grateful to have found RSC Business Group. Robert's expertise and guidance have been pivotal in kickstarting my business journey. It's clear he genuinely values his clients, and his expertise works wonders for business owners. Thank you Robert!
I came to RSC with my vision and immediately Robert got me on track with a plan. I had no idea where to start and I kept waiting for all the right pieces to fall into place. Robert showed me how to work with what I had on a very limited budget. He also has a knack for connecting like-minded people and helped connect me to my business partner. I'm so amazed at the exponential growth I've experienced over the past year and I'm excited to compare next year.
Robert has been instrumental for our company and its growth. During our weekly meetings with Robert, we discuss all aspects of the business. With his unique way of coaching, Robert guides us towards solutions and opportunities. Since we started working with Robert, our turnover has grown with 300%, we are better organized and have a clear vision for the future. We see Robert as one of the factors of our company's success.
I have been working with RSC for over a year now, and I am glad to have a coach like Robert Chun to consult with weekly. There have been many times as a business owner I have faced challenges and obstacles. In those times, Robert's insight, wisdom and approach have uncomplicated matters for me, giving much ease and the assurance to continue the venture I'm on. I would definitely recommend RSC for anyone wanting to begin and/or continuing a business. I heavily recommend giving him a try.
Great advice and easy to talk to. Can really help you understand certain situations. His insights are invaluable, providing clear, actionable steps that have significantly improved our business strategy. Highly recommend for anyone looking to gain a fresh perspective and practical solutions.
I have known and admired Robert Chun of RSC Business Group since 2011. As a business consultant, he has been instrumental in helping me understand, structure and develop my business and get a handle on my overall finances. He is very detailed in his recommendations and walks me through all of the options, advantages, and potential pitfalls. He has become a great friend and trusted business partner and I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking to put their business and finances on a solid foundatio
I have been working with Robert for many years and have found his counsel to be excellent from the beginning, and as my business grows. He is not only a business coach but life coach as well. He has a great sense of humor and ability to point out the big picture and where I will be in my business and personal life in the near future. I highly recommend working with him at any stage in your business. Every entrepreneur needs a coach like Robert!
I sought out a business advisor to add more structure to my already thriving business. We were bursting at the seams and I needed to understand the steps to take it to another level. Robert has helped me not only create a strategy and vision for my company but for my personal future. He is incredibly intuitive. Once he steps in you are motivated and understand how to make changes that you thought you would like to do, but didn't know how to do or perhaps caused anxiety or fear. I so value the insight he has
I'm so glad I hired Robert Chung to help me monetize my small business. I started out facepainting for events about 9 years ago, and during the first 3-4 years I was highly motivated and had many new clients but over time I lost some of my passion and motivation, which resulted in failing to keep the web presence updated. I never thought I would ever hire a business consultant to help me with my business, but a few weeks ago after a friend referred Robert to me I decided to give it a try. So far Robert has
Honestly opinion this gentleman was very patient. Listened, was very knowledgeable, kept his word and did everything he said he would do and above. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to start or gain additional business information.
Robert is a magician! I was lucky enough to find him via Google and he's been incredibly resourceful and brilliant in guiding me with my startup. I ran into some difficulty with people I had hired to help produce my event and Robert stepped up to take care of all of it for me...so thank you! Highly recommended!
I have worked with Robert since October 2010. I told him my goals were to grow my Home Automation company from a 1 man shop to a National Chain. It's a bold dream, but I figured why not dream big!!! So far Robert has help me grow my business almost 400% higher from what I was able to do on my own. It's been a crazy ride and I can't wait for the next chapters to unfold. If I could make Robert an employee and keeps all his secrets to myself I would!! He and the RSC business group are the real deal. They
Working with Robert has been so helpful! I was definitely stuck in a rut with my business. I had so many ideas but when it came to execution, I felt stuck. Robert helped give me a birds eye view on my business and look at which opportunities to move forward with one at a time. We worked on building a structure for my business and then expanding one by one instead of me trying to do everything all at once! Thanks RSC Business Group!
I highly recommend Robert for your business needs. He's helped take my coaching business from just an idea to generating revenue in only 1 month. His approach is unique, very rational, and straight to point.
So, almost 3 years since my last review of RSC Business Group which is on Yelp. Since then I have continued to work with Robert and Brandon. My business world has changed dramatically and continues to do so. Through it all I have had the support of RSC and it has been an incredible asset to me. They have supported me through countless breakdowns that we have turned into great wins together. I am currently thrilled with the direction of my business and life. Thank you for your expertise, support and ded
Robert is the best in the business! He was referred by one of my mentors who has been coached by Robert for over 20 years and he was gracious to introduce Robert to me. My mentor is at the top of the game as of the results of Robert's coaching. Robert knows everything from a-z in regards to business structures, systems and training. He is also highly trained in communication and really creating the space to help you reach your next level of your performance. No matter where you are at in your business, he w
Robert @ RSC Business Group is God sent. Robert has helped me clarify my vision for my new business venture and he has elevated my business knowledge. If your an Entrepreneur who needs assistance bouncing your ideas with someone who can actually help, don't hesitate to contact RSC Business Group. Thank me later :)
I am currently at a career crossroad and decided to seek out Robert Chun and RSC Business group for wise counsel. I wanted confirmation on my two career choices and clear action steps on how to integrate my passion business with these paths. Robert provided numerical value and insight to both paths which is helpful in determining the cost and return on investment. As I embark on this journey, I would love to continue to work with Robert as my mentor. I look forward to having fun together, growing along this
RSC Business Group is an incredible and unique consulting team full of wonderful advisors. I have been working with Robert Chun since 2010, he has not only helped grow my business, provide structure, offer amazing insights, tame my emotional side as a new business entrepreneur, made me laugh along the way, but also has become a dear friend. I am beyond grateful to promote and share how powerful this amazing experience has become. Robert and team are in full support, integrity, and very hands on with learn
I've never started a business before and needed a lot of help getting my foot in the door. Robert has been very helpful since the start. We've been having our meetings over zoom during the pandemic which I found convenient and safe. I recommend Robert for any businesses starting up or for established businesses looking to improve their company.
I first hired Robert Chun as my business coach in 1995. At that time, my business was booming but I lacked business acumen and I was working 18 hours a day. If it were not for Robert, I would have been out of business within the year. One of my blind spots was market trends. Sales were so good and I was so busy, I could not see the products my business was based on would be completely commoditized in the very near future. So we set forth on a strategy to build professional service offerings within the s
I've been working for Robert for almost a year now, and it has helped me grow as an individual and into my position as an operations executive, and as a result, has majorly benefitted the company that I work for. I would say that you definitely have to make yourself be open minded to coaching. Don't go into it thinking you know it all because you don't! Robert has helped me to see that there are more possibilities than I initially thought. And when you're open minded to suggestions, you can prepare for a b
Robert at RSC Business Group went above and beyond to help me set up my first business. From advising me on the options I had to structure the company to walking me through the individual documents I needed to file with the state, in order to be compliant, Robert went out of his way to ensure that my company would not experience any administrative issues in its' creation. Whether this is your first time incorporating or not, RSC is the advisory group I will ALWAYS want in my corner.
Robert has an amazing ability to change the dynamic of how you think about your business. After only a couple meetings Robert was able to give my company a new revenue stream and increase our operating efficiency. I highly recommend RSC Business group and especially Robert Chun for any business growth or consultation needs.
I have worked with RSC Business Group since 2013. My business has grown consistently, from a one-person operation into a multi-dimensional sales model. I was stuck, and through guidance and support from RSC, I was able to grow again, take on new ventures, and I am very pleased with the current direction. RSC Business group is made up very knowledgable consultants, with experience in every field, contacts and networking capabilities, and I have received excellent feedback on my own business.
I spoke with Robert for the first time this week to discuss how to get my feet off the ground in my new business venture. He was able to provide great insight and ideas I have not come across before so that I can implement them in my line of work. There are no questions to big or small for him, he is knowledgeable about all lines of work. Don't hesitate to use him and continue using his services till you have a complete full understanding of what it is your doing.
I've been working with Robert for about three years and I have seen my business grow several times over that period. I can always count on Robert to provide detailed sage advice on how grow and manage my business. I recommend him to almost all my clients.

He can help to strategically prepare anyone to deal with challenges. Hes simply THE BEST. I am excited bout the future of my business. Thank you Robert.
Robert is an amazing business coach and he and his team have directly contributed to the rapid growth of my business. I have an interior design business and have very little experience running a corporation so having someone help guide me through the process is essential. I didn't want to be and couldn't afford to be the guy that looked back and said I wish I did things differently.. thanks RSC Johnny Raitt Pemet Designs
RSC Business Group gave us clear, direct advice for our international business. Knowledgeable, kind, and highly recommended!

As owner, portrait and event photographer of Lisa Sandler Photography and Design, I went to Robert Chun of RSC Business Group for advice on how to grow my business in Los Angeles. He has helped me grow 5 times over in the last two years. Robert helped me expand from my local area of 90006, to Marina Del Rey, Venice Beach, Culver City, Manhattan Beach, Malibu and Beverly Hills, where I do family, child, engagement, headshot and event photography. I highly recommend meeting with Robert to go over what he can

I have been a client of RSC for several years and value the insights I have obtained into business management and operations. The structure of the business consulting has proven to be effective and adaptable. Robert has been a trusted advisor and friend.
I was at an impasse when a friend of mine referred me to Robert. With in the first few moments, I explained that I needed to be more self motivated, Robert explained to me that that was a dream, I needed to align myself with motivating activities, people and systems. I took this to heart, I can attest to his methods, I have gotten out of my own way, stopped being paralyzed by fear of failure as well as fear of success. I'm in a very nice rhythm, and am running extremely lean. I owe it all to Robert.
20 years I have used Robert Chun and his group as business consultants...need I say more? There is a reason I have been a fan and committed to Robert for 2 decades; he is passionate about what he does, authentic in his communication, and...gets results. I highly recommend his coaching group.
Robert is an outstanding coach and unique individual. He is calm and focused in helping you achieve your goals in a variety of areas including business and interpersonal relationships.

You can tell he cares and wants to help you reach your goals. From the first time I met with him, I could tell he was genuine and help me get as far as I wanted to go.
Robert is one of the most intelligent and professional people I have ever met. Best coaching we have ever came across. right from the beginning Robert got our company moving towards the right direction.
Working with Robert and Greg is always an awesome experience. As an assistant designer for Pemet Designs, they have been knowledgable in directing my role within the company. Our meetings are always an eye-opening experience, as they show me what to expect as Pemet continues to grow exponentially.
Robert is one of the most amazing people I dealt with in a long time. His analytical skills and experience helped my business to not only take off but to grow on an ongoing basis. Thanks Robert!!!
Recently opened my very first business & needed someone to consult with. I gave RSC business group a call and Robert gave me free consultation. Now I'm going into 2021 with a clear vision and the support I need to grow my business. 5 stars!
I was uncoachable until I met RSC Business Group. They helped me overcome that barrier. After that they seemed to anticipate every step I needed to know in order to grow my business before I actually needed it. I an very thankful that my income has grown consistently during this experience.
I was a struggling business ready to go under but RSC Business group came and saved my business. My sales have more than doubled since working with them. I am now about to launch a new business and with the help of RSC Business group I know I will be a success.

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.
