Fifth year in a row using Syed CPA Inc services to claim my family tax. as usual, very responsive, prompt, very patient for questions or queries.

He answered questions before I even asked them and happily answered all of the additional questions that I had. He was intentional about helping me to understand what needed t

The best CPA I have ever worked with. I?ve dealt with many in the past but his service is 5 star. He takes his time to strategize a plan for his customers to allow them to utilize every tax break they are eligible for. He also provides actionable feedback for his clients to allow an even greater tax savings. I never understood how taxes work until he broke it down into very simple and understandable concepts. I am grateful for his 5 star service. 100% recommend.
Ahsan is the best in the game! He is super helpful, knowledgeable and works fast and efficiently. Wouldn?t trust anyone else to do my taxes!
Syed is the best tax accountant I?ve ever worked with. I am self employed and have always been too nervous to do my taxes on my own.

Will continually recommend him to everyone.

It had been a great pleasure working with Ahsan. From our first conversation , he extremely easy to work with. He?s been patient, personable, professional, and very responsive, and accessible.
I am in the process of starting my small business and was in need of getting support from an accountant. My lawyer referred me to Ahsan and he made himself available for a consult right away. During this call he helped me understand enough information to give me piece of mind. In that 30 minute conversation I knew what to expect for this initial stage of building the business foundation and we set up a plan to connect again in a few months to develop my systems further. I truly appreciated his wisdom, cando
My tax preparation experience this year has never been better. Syed is as professional as it gets. He was easy to talk to, answered all my phone calls and questions, and completed my tax returns in no time at all. A few minutes after my initial call to him, he set me the link to upload the required documents and a few hours later, he completed the tax return. His service was superb and his fees were very reasonable. He can be sure that I will be a returned customer. Thanks, Syed.

I highly recommend him to anyone needing tax expertise.
SYED has been my accountant for a few years now and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

He is respectful and professional and takes care of his clients as if he is dealing with his own money. Would highly recommend him!
We have been using Ahsan Syed for all of our tax preparation personally and for our business for many years. He is always on top of all changes in the tax code. He is Beyond professional, courteous and always has the client in mind. Would recommend to anyone seeking CPA services.
I was very pleased with Syed CPA Inc today. He gave me advice based on his experience after gathering information particular to my employment situation. He explained why taxes were the way they were and was patient in discussion. I definitely recommend to small businesses for an affordable and professional accountant.
Ahsan has been incredible. I am a private practice therapist and have had two accountants prior to him which I have been incredibly disappointed and frustrated in. Past accountants never responded to emails and often gave me different advice each time I met with them. I plan to recommend Ahsan to every therapist I know. I would say to anyone questioning if they should work with him the answer is YES
I came to Syed CPA with a complete mess for books and several months late on filing taxes. Mr. Syed and his team meticulously took care of everything provided me with the right tools and a plan to move forward with. My CPA4L ????
Reality is, very few folks like dealing with the subject of taxes but Ahsan has made it easy both for the business as well as my personal taxes.

It has been a pleasure and look forward to our continued partnership.
Syed CPA is the most knowledgeable, responsive, smart and shrewd Tax Accountant I have ever dealt with. He has a sharp acumen and is extremely reliable. Definitely a 5 star service provider.
Ahsan Syed provided comprehensive and professional services. We had a complex tax situation that required multiple stages of analysis to determine and make the correct decision. Given the amount of work required by Ahsan to help us make that determination, the cost of services was very reasonable. Highly recommended.
Had complex issues(multiple W-2s, rollovers, business income,etc) with my taxes for the year. Shared my documents securely and was able to get my return prepared quickly. I got great advice on what to do in a way that I wouldn?t have been able to with a tax prep software. Will definitely work with them again!
I am glad to have met and filed my taxes with Syed. Syed demonstrates professionalism and is willing to go the extra mile in guaranteeing a higher tax refund, when applicable. He is knowledgeable and patient with all the questions I had. I look forward to continuing doing business with Syed. Thank you.
Ahsan Syed has been my accountant and tax advisor since 2017.

Ahsan Syed is an excellent CPA. He was responsive to all my questions and took time to explain things to me that I didn?t understand. Ahsan is the one I?ll go to every year, he simplifies everything for someone who doesn?t want to deal with how complicated filing your taxes can get. I really appreciate his professionalism and responsiveness. Highly recommended!
I had the best experience and the return was amazing. Syed is very knowledgeable, patient, and prompt. I now have no doubt the experience and knowledge that comes from an experience licensed CPA will make a huge difference in anyone?s return. I rarely leave reviews but when I receive an outstanding service then I feel it?s my job to inform and help others. As an engineer, I pay attention to details and it?s very difficult to find professionals like Syed who will give you piece of mind! Thank you once again!

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.
