Seals on wheels is such a GREAT notary public service located in Los Angeles!!! So friendly, so helpful, and even drove all the way to my location to help me with my papers! Their communication is amazing! I could ask questions any day of the week at any time and expect an answer within half a day! They know exactly what papers you need, and make sure to provide you with them, or tell you where to get them! Fast (literally messaged for their services, and had my paperwork started the very next day!!!!) and
Amazing service at your door! Lesly was very thorough and explained the process of getting an i-9 form visually inspected by an immigration consultant in CA for a company I work remotely for. She took the time to answer all of my questions (I had tons) and I really appreciated it because I felt very informed by the end of the service. The price was also reasonable. I would 1000% recommend this service to anyone and would gladly use them again for future needs.
They have a lot of experience and gave us suggestions on how to approach our situation. They're quick and straightforward. Turnaround time was impressive! Their rates are also on the considerate side. We contacted other services and these ladies completely outshined the others. Highly recommend!
Lesly was able to come on rather short notice and helped us with efficiency, professionalism, and warmth. From our brief meeting, I could tell that she is a knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate professional. I will be calling this service again if I ever need to notarize anything!

This is a very capable and honest company. I was recently out of the country when a dishonest contractor convinced my 85 year old brother to sign a contract for work on his home that he cannot afford. They also took a deposit check for $700.00. I contacted them but they refused to email a formal cancellation of the contract. I found Seals on Wheels online. I forwarded a written cancellation letter and my Power of Attorney to Seals on Wheels. They went to the address and found it was a PO Box; however, the
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.
