Customer Reviews

Afnan and her team, especially Gabriela, are second to none in professionalism, efficient communication, KNOWLEDGE, and expertise. Taxwise CPA has been a blessing for both our personal and business taxes! They are the truth. You will most definitely be more than satisfied with their service. Don't waste another moment or dollar, give them a try, and thank me later (better yet, pay it forward) because they are the partner you need to successfully navigate the complex tax system! Thank you infinitely, Taxwis

After 20 years, my accountant retired due to his firm merging with a larger company, and I had to find a new accounting firm (which isn?t as easy as it sounds). I liked everything I read on the TaxWise website so I decided to give them a try. They provided a price quote based on my previous taxes and were honest about the work that my taxes would entail (S Corp and personal taxes). They only invoiced the original cost they quoted (even though I think they were owed a couple more hours of work) which I app

Absolute delight working with Afnan and Gabriela. The work was perfect. The time was fast and efficient. I highly recommend for anyone looking at accounting and tax prep for an LLC.

Exceptional work and I?m beyond satisfied! Afnan followed-up on my case and kept communicating with me to check if everything was resolved with the IRS who held my taxes for the last year! She made sure to call the IRS on my behalf and solved the case and I was able to get my refund. I?ve used Abdul CPA service and will continue using them in the future! I highly recommend their professional service to anyone!

I found Abdul CPA online and it was cutting it close for me to find someone I felt comfortable with to do my yearly taxes. Afnan took me on no questions asked. She was delightful to talk to and was very prompt with my emails and other questions I had. I felt bad bugging her with so many questions but she was very helpful and professional. She is very knowledgeable and sweet to engage in conversation with. I would definitely recommend Abdul CPA to anyone!

Extremely professional. I own 3 businesses and I was very behind on many aspects of my filing after the passing of my previous CPA and lemme tell ya I?ve learned more working with her these last couple months than i did in the last 7 years with my previous guy. 10/10. Very satisfied.

I needed to file taxes for my first year as an LLC, and Abdul CPA was the perfect accountant for my needs. Afnan clearly explained her process and the information she needed from me. Her communication skills are great. She was very prompt in her response to any question I had. I would recommend Abdul CPA to anyone in need of accounting services.

Afnan Abduljaber (owner of Abdul CPA LLC) is one of the most helpful, efficient, and responsive people I have ever worked with in her field. I filed my personal taxes with her, and my experience was absolutely fantastic. She provided a lot of advise and was ample with her knowledge - especially related to COVID-19 tax credits and such. I will most definitely be using her again for taxes or any other accounting business. I absolutely loved this experience. She was so friendly with very friendly staff!

Afnan is really kind, balanced, professional, and excellent at what she does. The BEST accountant I have ever worked with. Goes beyond what is expected. I'm actually incredibly impressed. Afnan is a wonderful human being who is great and passionate at what she does and loves using her gifting to help clients.

I sought Afnan?s CPA firms help with expat taxes. It?s a time consuming process and Afnan was willing to keep the communication going in a consistent manner. Communication about the process and deadlines etc. was important to me. And I could trust Afnan to handle it. I certainly appreciate Afnan?s response to most matters in a timely manner and the submission of the documents was handled successfully.

High quality services was provided by Abdul CPA! My case was taken care of diligently until it was completely resolved. I never had an issue reaching out to the CPA and will recommend them to everyone! Thank you for the great experience!

I am very pleased with her services, I was incorporating my business and personal taxes for the first time and was overwhelmed. She walked me through the process and was very patient, I will continue to have her help me next year also.

I'm very pleased with Abdul CPA's responsiveness and breadth knowledge. They followed through on every step promised and helped explain some key tax points which I had no idea about.

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.
