Working with Sunil was hands down one of the best professional decisions I’ve made this year. What started as a search for tax prep turned into a multi-month tax strategy engagement that was genuinely transformative - both in terms of the financial outcomes and how much I learned along the way.
Sunil doesn’t just file your return and send you on your way. He takes the time to understand your full financial picture, walks you through the reasoning behind every recommendation, and explains the ‘why’ in a way that actually sticks. I came out of our sessions with a much sharper understanding of my own tax situation, the levers I can pull, and what to plan for going forward.
A few things that stood out:
1, Proactive, not reactive - he flagged opportunities and risks I would never have spotted on my own
2, Patient and thorough - no question felt too basic, and every answer was substantive
3, Responsive - turnaround times were fast, and he was easy to reach throughout the engagement
4, Strategic mindset - he thinks beyond the current filing year and helps you set up for the long term
If you’re looking for a CPA who treats your finances like a partnership rather than a transaction, Sunil is the one. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Sunil Kawatra highly enough! I came to him with a complicated tax issue that was incorrectly flagged by the IRS, and I was honestly at my wit's end trying to resolve it.
From our first meeting, Sunil was incredibly patient and thorough. He took the time to listen to the entire history of the situation, analyzed the paperwork with expert precision, and mapped out a clear path to fix it. His deep knowledge of tax law and IRS procedures turned a stressful, overwhelming mess into a resolved case.
If you are looking for a CPA who is not only a brilliant professional but also someone who genuinely cares about his clients and will fight to get things right, Sunil is your person. Thank you for your expertise and for giving me peace of mind again!

Sunil is absolutely awesome! It’s not very often, these days, that people shoot straight with you & know their stuff. Thankfully, both are true with Sunil. Not only is he very knowledgeable & honest, but he also cares about your business’s wellbeing. He made our incorporation process easy, and gave us advice on how to structure certain aspects of our business (that had nothing to do with the original service we paid for) at no charge. He just gave us this information/help out of the kindness of his heart. 😊 I learn something new from him almost every time I call him. I really appreciate his efforts, and look forward to many years of doing business together!
