What customers said about tax accounting
I got a huge bill from Missouri for late taxes and fees, but Cassie was able to find the discrepancy so quickly and get it filed for me to where I owe nothing & actually am getting a refund. She was so kind and reassuring the whole time, I cannot recommend her enough. 10 stars if I could
Great CPA. I've been working with Jeff for 7 years now since I started my business. He is always professional and friendly. He never makes me feel like he's rushing from client to client. Highly recommend and will continue using his services.
I had the opportunity to file our taxes at black Inc tax services. We world with Miguel who made the process extremely smooth and rapid. Miguel was able to answer all of my inquiries and find solutions to all my tax questions. I would highly recommend Miguel and black inc tax services to friends and family.
Best tax preparers in California, I will definitely be here every year. They are very careful with details and take the time to ask as many questions possible
Cassie is a true professional! Sje was very responsive. I'm a samll business owner and she took the time to understand my situation and got to work for me right away. I will be using her for any tax and accounting needs I have moving forward.
Cassie Moore at Numbers Don't Lie Tax Prep and Financial Services is the real deal. She's knowledgeable, professional, and you can tell she actually cares about the people she works with. She takes the time to walk you through everything so it makes sense, which turned what's usually a stressful process into…
