Customer Reviews

The staff is courteous and professional. Heather is very patient with questions. She updated my tax return to accommodate new deductions that were discovered, resulting in substantial savings for me. Thank you, TreeStar, for taking the stress of doing taxes.

Tree Star solutions has been doing my taxes for the past 3 years. Heather is very knowledgeable. She responds my emails on time and answers my questions in the way I can understand. Heather helped me with my amended tax returns as well. I am very pleased with the service. I will continue to use Tree star solutions for the upcoming years.

TreeStar Solutions has been doing my taxes for the last 5 years and this office is friendly, easy to communicate with, and efficient. I feel quite confident in their work and appreciate how responsive they are to questions. I'll be doing my taxes with TreeStar Solutions for as long as I'm paying taxes ... and what is that old saying about taxes?

TreeStar, Heather and the entire staff are so helpful and willing to do everything possible to provide great service and navigate complicated tax issues. We have been with TreeStar since after the Campfire, and we cannot be happier.

this is my 2nd year with them... they are the best tax person/company i have ever had...even though i moved back to Vallejo i still used them and will continue to use them. always returns my calls and completes all forms need for federal and state tax return.

The Tree Star team is a wonderful group of experienced women who really know what they are doing! They're very helpful, professional, knowledgeable, prompt and skilled at their profession. I would highly recommend them! Thanks Heather and all you girls at Tree Star. ;-)

Excellent work, efficiently completed! So helpful and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!

I?m not sure how this company is getting good reviews when our experience was so horrible. My husband filed his 2020 taxes with Heather Wall and for months he never received his return or any call backs from Heather. She avoided him and he was not able to file any taxes since. We married this past June 2024 and I decided to look into this. We tried contacting her office for weeks and finally saw she changed her company name. I started emailing and calling her new office and was always told, "She's out of t

We want to thank everyone at Tree Star Solutions for for their excellent work over the past 4 years, which has helping us navigate our way through potential catastrophe.

Even in a very difficult business climate, our corporation is not just surviving but steadily growing in a fiscally re

I've worked with Heather since 2018. Heather and Evita have partnered up to provide comprehensive bookkeeping, tax preparation, payroll and other financial services.

Heather is wonderful! She is knowledgeable, responsive and handles our bookkeeping, taxes and payroll. As a small cannabis farm we appreciate her expertise in METRC, and knowledge of how to maximize our tax write-offs in this difficult to navigate industry.

Everyone is very helpful and very thorough. And very timely in their response to questions.

TreeStar is an incredible group that specializes in helping the most vulnerable. We have a complicated business and TreeStar was there to help with organization and strategy of 4 years worth of mayhem. The ability to take on new tasks and filing taxes is a dream scenario. Working within our limited budget was also a huge plus. If you need help for a huge complicated problem, make TreeStar Solutions your first and only call.

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.
