I'd like to say that working with Mayra on obtaining my residency was nothing less than amazing. She made sure I knew what step was next and was available to me every step of the way. She is a pleasure to work with. After four long years, due to immigration laws/holds I finally obtained my green card and it has changed my life. I recommend Mayra and her team to everyone needing help with immigration or any other service she provides.
I have had the best experience working with Mayra over the past 7 years as she has successfully helped my husband obtain his residency. She responds very quickly and has explained everything to us very throughly throughout this whole process. You can defiantly put your trust in Mayra and she is a pleasure to work with ?? 1000% would recommend
Since the beginning of the process Mayra did NOT miss a step. Every document, every single form that was filled, she treated this case as her own.Every stage was taken with in great attention to detail. Nothing was taken lightly. As time passed and we waited for immigration (I.N.S) to respond she took the time to reassure me everything was fine. Her clients and her years of experience speak for themselves. I would ONLY recommend that Unidos tax preparation and immigration services be the ONLY option.
With all of Mayra's help my dad was able to finally get his residency, and my mom her citizenship. We couldn't be any happier with how well she has took care of both of my parents. Very attentive, and great at what she does. Thank you for everything, we appreciate you so much :)
I was really happy they way Mayra explains everything. At this office they are friendly and humble. Mayra knows what she is doing and she helped us out with my immigration case. I have already recommended people to her office because her work ethic, cleanliness, and professionalism is an A plus!! I highly recommend this office for your immigration needs!!
I found Mayra a few years ago when I had an issue come up while I was going through the citizenship process. She was the only person to get back to me and help me figure out what was happening througout that time. I then started going to her to file my taxes as well. She is very helpful, professional and humble and I could not recommend her enough. She really cares about her clients and the work that she does!! :)))!
Very friendly staff. Mayra is really true to her work and likes to do everything very detailed in order to keep you safe. Her passion lies within immigration work, but she is happy to help in all areas she's certified in. I feel in good hands when I go to Mayra for ANYTHING!
Mayra helped my husband get his permanent residency she helped us with the entire process and was more than helpful she went out of her way to help us through this difficult process. We are very thankful for all her work and dedication she demonstrates to all her clients. We recommend her 100% for immigration services and income tax services.
Mayra helped me with my citizenship application. I am very grateful for her guidance. I definitely recommend her for all her services.
Mayra is so good at everything she does I recommend her 100%. She will always double check everything she does with you, I had so many questions and she was always so patient with me and my husband she's so caring, I love that she knows how hard it is to get paperwork done I appreciate all her help to get me in the right path. Thank you Mayra Will be coming back in about 2 years to get her to help me with my citizenship.
I would definitely recommend unidos immigration service to anybody who needs help in providing legal status to a love one. Mayra has provided excellent service and guided us through this process because of her hard work and knowledge my wife is now a permanent resident of the U.S.
I would recommend Unidox Tax Preparation &Immigration Services.Mayra and her team are very professional and well organized .They always answer when I call and answer all the questions that I had. Thanks to Mayra, she helped my husband receive his permanent residence.
I needed an I-9 Form validated by a notary who is also an immigration consultant as required by California law recently. Since my employer is out of state I had to find a notary who has both certifications. I called 10+ other businesses in Visalia with no luck. Mayra was able to get my I-9 Form validated and was very professional. I highly recommend this business for your pre-employment paper work, consultation, and tax needs. they are certified in niche specialty's that other businesses don't have. Thank y
This office deserved more the 5 stars!! She doing this busisness not as a job, she doing as a helping people.I was having so complicated imigrations paper works.(l got arrested before and that so big issue in uscis eyes) Which office l went on the past they all got lost except ms mayra.

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.
