People have Great knowledge have done ? my tax for many years and always answered my questions
Nice people had i good visit first time
I'm incredibly disappointed with the service I received from Claudia, a tax preparer at Unity Tax Services. Let's just say I won't be returning after using them for a few years. Here's why: No Questions Asked? No Deductions Offered? The first red flag was Claudia diving right into my taxes without asking any questions about my income, situation, or potential deductions. She didn't even offer any suggestions to maximize my return! First-Time Homebuyer Confusion: I specifically mentioned being a first-time
It was a very nice experience, Claudia helped us with all the questions we had. She is very knowledgeable and professional
I have been going with Rebeca for many years (approx. 12 yrs) for different things and they have always been very honest and helpful in everything they do. My family and I have been working with this office and we trust them with what they do.
Unity services has been my go to for all of my tax and Insurance needs. They have been around for a long time and are family owned. Friendly, Honest and reliable staff. Highly recommend all of their services.
Please do NOT get "help" from Mariana. From the minute my family an I sat in her cubical, the lady couldn't even say a friendly hello. Very poor customer service, not once did she smile, I felt like I was dealing with someone from the DMV (very miserable lady). She didn't explain anything to us, the only questions I was asked were "Did you bring your proof of health insurance?" Which I didn't because my company does not send one. To which she said "I'll have to put "no" and if the IRS contacts you, you just
Claudia is very un professional. Don?t get your taxes done with her. Multiple times I tried getting in contact with them and she said she?d call back? here we are a week later. No phone call, text, or email. Waste of my time.
Been doing taxes with them since 199?s, moved to SF but I?m back! Glad they are still around! Hope to see the main Cahuna today ?? old times??

I wish I could say the same as these other customers.Not sure what her name was but her mother worked their aswell, well she's the one who helped me.Tbh it seemed as if she didn't know what she was doing.Thats the way I felt.She showed no patience and in my opinion was very unprofessional!!She lacked providing me with full details and hesitated to explain herself!!And she never gave me her name reason why I'm not specifying who it was.
Super long wait 4 hours but after that fast and professional worth it

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.
