She had great answers to every question we had. Caught multiple errors I had in my return, saving me $4k. She even talked to lawyers on my behalf to help answer a complex question I had. Very professional. Very good. Worth every penny.

Elina was too busy to help me at this busy tax filing time, but she was very generous in taking the time to ask me what I needed help with and providing a couple referrals. Thank you, Elina!

I needed help with a tax situation that I'm dealing with and had a call with Elina. She listened to what I needed help with and patiently answered all the questions I had. She ended up telling me that she didn't feel she was right for the job and referred me to someone else who she thought could. Despite not using her services, I'm really thankful for her pointing me in the right direction, she comes off as a very kind person.

I have talked to at least 4 tax professionals regarding my slightly complex tax situation as it relates to ISO from a previous company, and none of them have been able to help me the way Elina has. If you're looking for someone who approaches your situation with empathy and compassion, look no further - Elina is the real deal. She's incredibly knowledgeable and willing to go above and beyond to make sure you have a sound understanding of a complicated tax world. Thank you, Elina! Your help has been invaluable to me and I hope to work with you in the future!

Elina provided consultation on my stock options impact to tax liability. She's very accommodating to have the session on the same day since my deadline is approaching. She provided multiple choices and potential tax outcomes. She also reviewed my previous year tax return and provided free suggestions.

Elina has prepared our tax returns for about 10 years, and she's always done a great job. She is very knowledgeable, ethical, organized, and helpful. She answers our questions promptly and clearly, by email or phone or an in-person visit. One time we got a letter from the IRS about a return filed before we worked with Elina - we had to pay thousands of dollars in back taxes. Even though it was a return she hadn't worked on, Elina explained it, and cleared it up with the IRS (we didn't owe any money after all). Also, her system for collecting documents and reviewing your return is easy to use. So - all in all - if you need a great tax accountant, you can't do better than Elina.

My husband and I have worked with Elina for the past 5-6 years and she has been hands down the best cpa we've worked with and gives great advice to shepherd us through hairy tax situations. We've recommended her to tons of friends and colleagues over the years. She is Reliable, timely and great about collecting forms from us early, and is highly organized. She also provides Great explanation/ quality of advice on our tax situation, and is well versed in common tax scenarios with both big tech and aggressive startups. Overall, totally recommend!

I found Elina on Yelp and asked for her help with a tricky tax issue that required immediate attention (to avoid potential penalties). She made time to meet with my wife and me on pretty short notice and was so thoughtful and thorough in her analysis of my situation. She ran different scenarios to help ensure we had things covered. She also did a fantastic job of not only explaining the different tax treatments we were facing for different sources of income and to ask a number of questions to help make sure we were taking advantage of any and all tax breaks. I've done my taxes myself for many years, but am re-thinking and if I do go with a pro, it'll be Elina.

Elina is super awesome! We went to her office for a consultation. She was patient, super nice and very professional. She not only walked through us what we did wrong for previous year's tax but also showed us ways to do tax efficiently. Highly recommend her!

Everything you've read here about Elina is true! I wish I could give her 100 stars. I've always heard about her and she's absolutely outstanding. She made me feel so comfortable not knowing anything about taxes, period. She, without a doubt, is the best, THE VERY BEST! Professional yet warm and understanding. I promise you, you WON'T be disappointed
