This is mine and my partner?s second year coming here for our taxes, everyone is so nice and attentive. Manfred always explains what you're gonna get and why in detail, always makes sure my daughter has something to do so she won't get bored! They give you an appointment asap(I'm talking about next day!) they also accept walk ins and the wait time is very short. I usually get my tax return in two weeks or less. Will be back next year!????
Had a friend refer me to this location, and it was the best decision I made for filing taxes. Manfred was very helpful and informative when it came to breaking everything down for me and was patient with my child. He provided a castle tent to play and a coloring page to keep her distracted. Thanks so much! Will be back again!
Zamora Services has helped my family tremendously. They were able to apply for Parole in Place while I was in the military for my parents. Blanca walked my mother through the entire process while I was away and now we are happy to not worry about our family being apart.
Came to do my taxes today, went great! My mom recommended me she has been doing her taxes here since I can remember. Glad I came. Thanks Manfred!
I been coming to Zamoras to do my taxes for over 25 years amazing people great service. Natalie and her husband are such amazing people and very friendly they answer all your questions and help you out in everything 100% recommended
Awesome service !!!!! Came to help to renew my green card, Mr. Manfred help to fill out the application less than 45 min. Was done. Fee for service very reasonable and very comfortable environment and every one was very helpful. When i came the second time for some questions Ms Natalie help and again was awesome and answered my question wonderfully? thank you for a great customer service?? Iwould definitely recommend them to others.
Very good service good condition for the place I like . gonna come back soon
I been doing taxes here for about 2 years, my parents on the other hand been coming for 8 years! We've worked with Blanca and Manfred, very loyal people and I love coming here! I always feel welcomed like if I'm part of a family. This year I had my taxes done by the man himself, Manfred Preschern awesome guy with a even greater service. Thank you!
I've been filing my taxes with Zamora Services for years. Due to the recent events of the pandemic, they've made it even easier to file tax returns. I dropped off my necessary documents quick and easily. After reviewing and approving online, with a simple click my taxes were approved! I love this new method for filing, super efficient and easy. I highly recommend filing with Zamora Services!
I highly recommend everybody to get attended by Manfred! Best tax consultant I know. He's patient and works with you. So everybody ASK for manfred.
I got screwed over from another guy that had filed my taxes and I came over to Zamora to seek clarification and guidance on what was going on and get help. I could not be happier with their services! They went above and beyond to help me, were extremely patient with answering all my questions and also explaining everything. I felt taken care of and heard. I will always be going to them from now on!
Been coming here for 4 years and this place helps out in every way possible they are patient and explain everything clearly . For the past 3 years Manfred has done our taxes and always comes through with great service . Highly recommend this location !
Did my taxes somewhere else and my Tax bill was $15,600, came to Zamora services to get a 2nd opinion and they lowered my tax bill! All the Tax pros here genuinely want to help you, the last place I went to felt like they wanted to help the IRS. I will come back here to do my Taxes for life 5 Stars
I been a loyal customer for over 8 years great customer service here . I totally recommend this office . Blanca and Manfred Preschern our great people very friendly and very fast . Very happy with my tax preparation. Thank you so much .
Bianca is the best employee in this facility. She could rule this place by herself. Muchas gracias por ustedes ayuda! Me and my husband filled paperwork on September, and I got everything done by July. Amazing ?? Minus one star because they almost never pick up the phone, and anybody else but Bianca is there to help.
Worst place ever. I called for pricing on marriage license. Got told it would be $85 And some older lady with glasses I'm thinking she's the owner tried to charge me $150. She argued with me when I told her they had told me $85 And she started telling me she was wasting her time on me. So unprofessional! Maybe next time train your staff better so your costumers don't waste time going here!
Worst place ever! Got married here they misspelled my husbands name on the marriage certificate and refuse to help fix it went in before the year and the lady said ? oh you have to fix it? didn't say where or how just said ?you have to fix it? called to ask where I needed to send it and they left me hanging called back and no answer ! They don't pay attention to what they do and then refuse to help!
Very good and very helpful with my taxes and my mom and I come to her every year for our taxes. Thank you Natalie!
Natalie is always amazing and helpful everytime i come here to do taxes. Will continue doing them at Zamora.
If your looking into getting a live scan. This is the WORSE place to get it done at. I got mine For the California department of social services and they never received my paperwork. All this place did was take my money and now they are telling me they dont have anything on record when i clearly saw them write my information down.
I have been coming here for years everyone is super friendly and Natalie is great at her job
I've been coming here for years it's fast simple and cheap and the staff are friendly and pleasant to talk to.
First year doing my taxes with Zamora Services, great place will definitely be coming back next year
I've been coming here ever since I started doing taxes. Natalie is very helpful as always!
Been coming here since last year employees show great customer service
Long story short, they took my money and did the Scan but never sent them to State Board. I politely asked if they can resend/redo them and was told that I have to pay again.
ManFred is very helpful and got my taxes done quick this is a great spot
I have been coming to o Zamora Sercice since I was a child with my parents, Gustavo is very professional and Is always willing to help you even when he's super busy
excellent service, David & Gustavo are very helpful..I always renew my DACA and do my taxes with them. highly recommended.
Love coming here, everyone is very helpful and makes sure all your needs are meet.
Very friendly and very informative. I highly reccomend coming here !
Worst experience ever dont go to this place.. Me and my wife got married here in November of 2016.. It is now june 2017 and we haven't reive our marrige certificate.. We should have gotten it with in a month its been 7 and nothing we have gone to let them know and they just tell us the same thing " will send it again"
Great service and Natalie was such a great help as usual.
Their employees are not honest they make you sit and waste your time say waiting 1hr and when I asked how much longer they told me at least 45 minutes more. They don't care for customers. Poor customer service
Love them! Been going to them to do my taxes for three years.
This place is amazing! I've been coming here for years and no complaints!
Tax process is always made fast and easy.
#1 in all the IE...best service staff around and they guarantee you the most possible return. Can't complain...really!

(Translated by Google) LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM!!! I'd never had any problems with Zamora until I needed a notarized document. I know they're very busy during tax season, but if they can't do something better, they should say so. I went around five times in two days to get the document. And when they finally gave it to me, they made me wait an hour, obviously because they did it right then. (Original) FALTA DE PROFESIONALISMO!!! Nunca habia tenido problema alguno con Zamora, hasta que necesite un papel nota

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.
