“Here's a refined and appreciative review for your CPA and their team:
I cannot recommend Armaven and his team highly enough for their exceptional service and unwavering support. As a small business owner, I have encountered numerous challenges, but Armaven and his team have consistently gone above and beyond to ensure my success. Their expertise and dedication are truly unparalleled.
One aspect that sets them apart is their incredible patience and understanding. No matter how seemingly trivial my questions may be, they answer each one with clarity and without judgment, making complex financial matters accessible and easy to comprehend. Their guidance has been invaluable in navigating payroll taxes and other intricacies with ease and confidence.
A special shout out to Anja, who has been an absolute rockstar. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and personalized support have made a significant difference in my business operations. She is truly a valuable asset to the team.
Thank you, Armaven and team, for your exceptional service, dedication, and the genuine care you show your clients. My business is thriving because of your efforts, and I am deeply grateful.”

“Edwin is a fantastic CPA and I highly, highly recommend him. He has been my tax advisor for the last 5 years and every single year I am so thankful to be working with him. Edwin is exceptionally knowledgeable about tax nuances and how to get me the best deductions every single year. He also is very willing to say when he wants to do more research on a very specific, rare potential tax treatment and come back to me. He has multiple times spoken to other valuable advisors across his extensive network to verify certain tax considerations for me and ensure he is making the best recommendation. Also, if you do any crypto investments, there is no question Edwin is who you should use as your CPA. He understands crypto investments incredibly well and knows exactly how to follow the law while also ensuring I save as much in taxes as possible. If you're looking for the best CPA, there's no question in my mind, Edwin is your guy!”
“Excellent communication with accounts, top notch work. I really appreciate how through their work is and confidential. I highly recommend Caro & Associates, LLC.”
“ACE Accounting is honestly the best company I've ever worked with! Angie was top notch and helped me when I was in a bind. She was extremely professional, explained things over the top (and I ask a lot of dumb question) and gave suggestions for future ways to handle my business needs. I will never work with another Accounting firm. If you have reservations about working with them, don't. You will be 100% satisfied working with them!”
“Meera saved the day fixing a tax file I did through TurboTax that ended up not being complete. She saved me thousands in tax penalties. I've learned my lesson. I'll be headed to SSK for future tax filings.”
“My neighbor recommended Laurie Smith and H&R Block and I've been going to her for my taxes year after year now and appreciate her detailed work so much! I've been recommending her to others too because of how accurate, kind and professional she is.”
“As always, they are extremely good at what they do,courteous,friendly and very helpful in filing your taxes. I been using them for over ten years and will continue to do so.”
“Monica has prepared our taxes for a few years and I feel always extremely confident on her work. The communication is great and Monica provides a very personal and attentive service to our specific needs.Recommend 100%”
“Sandra was able to provide prompt and efficient tax preparation services. Education was provided on tax filing requirements, how to determine if estimated taxes may need to be done, upcoming changes, and other helpful details. Would recommend highly.”
“I am a repeat customer for 3 years now and I am extremely happy with the knowledge and professionalism by the staff at H&R Block. I received tips to help my status next year. Price is very fair for the service. I'll be back next year. Highly recommend them.”
“I was immediately ushered in to the preparation cubicle, where the process began in short order.I find this to be very professional and courteous, considering I was expecting my trip in was going to be a drop off.”

“Great customer service. Rebecca has been our account manager and we can’t speak highly enough about her. Company is very reasonable my priced but when compared to the value they’re extremely underpriced. High high value company.”
“UPDATE APRIL 23, 2023:BETTER LATE THAN NEVER/SELF-EMPLOYMENT SHAFTIn my original review, I said "more on that later" re: my original estimate for my 2018 taxes being $1580, but the actual damage was $655 ($925 less!). I failed to say that that's because I had no more "self-employed" paper route. (side note: newspaper delivery is still legally classified as "self-employment", but it's actually "employee without employee rights") The point is, if you are self-employed, the tax prep fee is going to be higher.INVESTMENTS ALSO WILL DING YAIn this update, I would like to say that my 2019 tax prep fee was $885. The $230 uptick in fees(from $655 in 2018) was probably because that was the year I did my first investment rollover. If you have investments (IRAs, annuities, 401ks,etc.), your tax prep fee will be higher for that as well (especially if you have a slush fund...;). Therefore pay no attention to these outfits that offer to do your taxes for "free." That's only for people with simple tax returns with no self-employment, no investments, no property holdings, or any other complicated financial scenario that could give your accountant headaches!DID COVID "STAY HOME" ORDER GIVE PEOPLE TIME TO DO THEIR OWN TAXES?My 2020 tax prep fee went down again to $540 (a $345 downtick from 2019) possibly related to the initial two week COVID-19 WA state "stay home" order from March 23, 2020, which was extended to May 31, 2020. The 2021 fee was an identical $540 (COVID lag?) But starting this year with the 2022 taxes the tax prep package recommended sending in 1/2 the amount I paid for the 2021 taxes ($540/2 = $270) as an advance deposit. So I sent them the $270 deposit. But when the taxes were ready, I looked at my 2022 printed copy, which showed their fee charges failed to take into account the $270 deposit I already paid. They corrected that when I brought it to their attention. But the total fee still owing was $405. So $405 plus $270 already paid = $675. Why the $135 uptick from the $540 charged in 2021 and 2020? I was told that that their rates were going up. Perhaps the somewhat improved economy since 2020 took away the luxury of time at home to do one's own taxes, and instead allow people the luxury of paying accountants to do their taxes.”
“I felt like I was home. They make you feel very comfortable & took extra time to print and fill all my information on the W2 form. They also give me valuable information on itemized items & etc. I suggest people should use their service.”
