Customer Reviews

I?ve been working with Pej for several years and couldn?t be more satisfied. He is highly knowledgeable, always up-to-date with the latest tax laws, and provides excellent financial advice. The personalized attention and genuine concern for my financial well-being set him apart from my prior CPAs. I highly recommend Saadat CPA to anyone in need of a trustworthy and skilled CPA.

I have known Pejman both personally and professionally for over 10 years, and he is truly an exceptional individual and a dignified, astute professional. Pejman?s expertise is instrumental in managing my business and personal accounting with precision and care. He consistently goes above and beyond, both in our friendship and professional relationship, to ensure that those around him are happy and well-supported.

I've been consistently impressed with Mr. Saadat's excellent CPA services. Every year, he goes above and beyond, ensuring a seamless and stress-free tax experience. His expertise has not only saved me money but also made the process easy to navigate. I confidently recommend Mr. Saadat to friends and family ? his dedication and professionalism truly set him apart.

Saadat CPA is a one stop shop for all my tax needs which makes working with them super convenient. The team and lead CPA were incredibly meticulous and thoughtful when helping me with my taxes, and their prices are amazing compared to other well established firms. They?re also willing to go the extra mile which can?t be said for other accountants in the area. Very grateful for all their hard work!

Pej and his team are fantastic accountants. Easy to reach and always available to answer any questions we have. Pej uses creative strategies to avoid overpaying and always has his clients' best interest in mind. Highly recommend.

I've worked with about 3 other CPA's, and once I moved my files over to Mr. Saadat I can't tell you how happy I am with my personal and all my business accounting. I have realized how much i have been losing on the previous years. I have also recommended Mr. Saadat and his firm to many people and i have only heard good feedback from other and many thanks for my referral. Anytime u have an issue they are only one call or email away. Thank you Mr saadat and the help on all aspect of Financials you have Given

Pej has been my CPA for 5 years now. We have through a lot together over these past few years and I can honestly say that he is my most trusted resource. His ability to understand financial literacy while maintaining an ethical standard is a work of art. He puts his best effort for me year after year and gives me honest advice. To Pej I want to say; thank you for all the nights we have spent discussing my taxes, thank you for you for your time, but most importantly thanks for your friendship.

I have had the pleasure of working with Pej as my accountant for several years now, and I cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism, expertise, and dedication to his clients. Pej has consistently demonstrated his exceptional skills in handling my taxes and bookkeeping, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. One of Pej's standout qualities is his unwavering availability. Regardless of the time or day, he is always just a phone call away, ready to address any concerns or questions I may ha

Pej and his team are great and most importantly trustworthy, after all, they?re handling my money! I really value that they are proactive, responsive, and available. Most other offices I?ve used don?t show the attention or consideration that I receive here.

A few years ago, I decided to switch to this firm after my previous CPA ran late, added fees and lost all kinds of documents. Let me tell you I?m glad I did! The same day I retained them, they went through my stuff and called me right away. They informed me that I had to settle a fee with the state immediately so I can avoid a penalty! My previous CPA totally missed that! They are courteous, on time and charge a very reasonable fee. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Hands down best firm we have worked with. Mr. Saadat and his team are all on point and help direct our business to the route of success! Would recommend Mr. Saadat to anyone !

I am so happy and relieved to have Saadat CPA help me with my taxes. They are honest and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you

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.
