Ara Haddadian CPA firm, Excellent service provider Ara saved my tremendously critical situation! I called the number on file frantic, and he answered the phone. He listened to me crying into the phone with my problem and stated," I can help you. You just need to be calm so we can figure this out. He answered my questions and the ones that he couldn't answer due to lack of information from me. He then set up a consultation . He did advise me of the cost of the consultation as well as informing that the fee would be included in the total cost of fees for tax prep services. The gentle nature in which he handled my crisis was note worthy! And wasn't shaken by my impatience with how the process has to proceed due to my untimely preholiday filing. He is now my new CPA, and I am truly blessed to be on his list of clients. Ara makes you feel heard taken care of and unashamed of missing the mark in my past paperwork situation. You feel like the most important factor to him while he assists with the tax process. I couldn't imagine working with any other firm. * on-site parking, is a bonus* Ara Haddadian CPA firm is EXCEPTIONAL, I am grateful my husband and I found you. God Bless you Mr. Haddadian

Horrendous and unprofessional - I'm so blown away I don't even have words. I called to ask a few questions because I am looking for a new accountant. I told the CPA over the phone that I have a DBA and he rudely interrupted me saying I need to have business accounts - which you 100% do not - I worked in banking for over a decade and as a DBA you can run your expenses through a personal credit card. I diligently keep track of all my business expenses, everything is printed and filed. I then wanted to ask him a follow up question and I kid you not in the most pompous, rude way he shouted "I won't answer any questions - consolation is $150". I told him "sir I'm asking questions - mind you I only asked one to get comfortable with you, why would I pay you anything when you are this rude." I wouldn't use this CPA if he was the last CPA in the world. He shouted, I've been a CPA for the last 20 years - yes, but that doesn't make you a good person. Stay away. PS: do yourself a favor and scroll down, all the 1 star reviews state how rude this man is. One person can be wrong, but this many people? Trust me, there are other nice decent people who are CPA's, you don't need to swallow your dignity and deal with rude people like such.

Incompetent CPA who will have your ID and your most important information stolen from his business. There is no data protection or security with this CPA.2x I’ve had my ID stolen from his office because of incompetence. He left his accounting software logged-in and unattended– Hacked. After being interviewed by IRS forensics I decided to find a new accountant.MANY YEARS LATER, after leaving, I received notification again that my ID was stolen from his firm. A hard drive with client data was taken from his car. It’s been over 6-years since I used his service.Unbelievable. What a nightmare.

I've never had my taxes professionally done before. Ara was so informative and helpful on my tax file and payroll setup for my business.

Ara just helped me process my SBA loan application in less than an hour. With PPP loan details changing day-to-day, I felt pretty overwhelmed but not any more :) He helped me do the math, create the documents I needed and click submit! If you need accounting or tax help, Ara is awesome... but if you're scrambling to figure out how to handle your business or finances during this unprecedented COVID-19 period, Ara is top-notch!

Ara and his team are awesome! As a Canadian struggling to figure out how to file taxes in both the U.S. and Canada, I had so many questions! Ara sat down with me and we talked and laughed and he answered every single one of my questions. He's the best!

Ara and his team have a great business because it is a small, personalized experience with a friendly, knowledgeable team. Ara is very up-to-date and knows his stuff, and is always willing to help you through exactly what it is you feel you need help with. He meets you on your level and gets you where he feels you need to be in terms of educating you while supporting you in what you need. His staff are smart, friendly and supportive, and they are speedy and responsive. They do great work for a fair price and their online, bidirectional submission portal is simple, secure, and easy to use. It's the kind of firm that inspires loyalty and trust, and they have mine. I look forward to continuing to support their business for many tax years to come.

Good service overall. He clearly listened to you and is careful about how much you can deduct. Though I was late by 30 mins, he agreed to see me. I agreed that his services may be a bit expensive but it is the peaceful feeling that you get when you feel that you are being treated fairly. I came to him 2 years ago for tax filing, I don't know about his other services that he offered.

We found Ara on yelp and we agree with all of his five star reviews. Ara and his staff are very friendly, professional, thorough and efficient. We had to file several years at once and I am confident everything was figured and filed with the utmost level of competency. Thank you Ara!

Ara is fantastic! Some developments on my end caused me to need to create an LLC ASAP. After yelping and calling various accountants in my local area, I found Ara. Everyone else was either (1) on vacation (2) no pickup (3) distant. I'd get a receptionist who wouldn't give me a concrete meet or call time or a quote for the LLC. When I called Ara, I was impressed to immediately get the man in question and not an answering machine. He gave me a quote and we set up a time immediately. And when I met with Ara, he answered my long lists of questions and walked me through the ups and downs of all the different organization types and gave me his recommendations. We even went over board on the hour of consultation - Ara told me not to mind the minutes and that he was here to build a healthy working relationship. Ara feels genuine - I felt truly cared for as a client. Needless to say I filed the LLC through him and am looking forward to continuing to work with him. Thanks Ara!

When I first visited Ara's office two years ago, my tax situation was in complete disarray. I hadn't filed or paid taxes in a couple years after having gone through some tough financial times and I was getting calls and letters from the IRS and FTB. Ara quickly got all my past and current returns filed, providing guidance as I prepared my tax planners for him. He then pointed me in the right direction to get a settlement going. I am now caught up and have a financial fresh start. I highly recommend Ara and his office for a professional, friendly, and efficient tax filing experience.
