Monica is a lifesaver! Went to ups and they were rude and not accommodating. I searched and call this office and they were really nice. She helped me notarize my exam requirements and did it without any stress and hassle. Please come to her for notary services and filing taxes ❤️❤️❤️

I want to sincerely thank Stephanie for the outstanding service she provided in resolving my missing tax refund. Although my initial experience with the company was frustrating and left me feeling like I had to figure things out on my own, Stephanie completely turned that experience around. From the moment she took over, she was professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me. She kept me updated throughout the entire process, took the time to personally work with the IRS on my behalf, and handled everything from start to finish. Her dedication saved me countless hours, eliminated a great deal of stress, and gave me confidence that my issue was being handled properly. Thanks to Stephanie’s persistence and professionalism, I finally received my tax refund. She is an incredible asset to your company, and I truly appreciate everything she did. If you’re fortunate enough to work with Stephanie, you’ll be in excellent hands. Thank you again!

Today I had the opportunity to do my taxes with Monica Velazquez, and I highly recommend her 100%. She clearly explained how taxes work when you have rental income (like my basement), including deductions and depreciation—something not everyone takes the time to explain. She also guided me on how to prepare starting now for next year by organizing maintenance expenses and documentation. She was very patient, professional, and took the time to answer all my questions without rushing. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who truly wants to help, Monica Velazquez is an excellent Choise./ Hoy tuve la oportunidad de hacer mis taxes con Monica Velazquez y realmente la recomiendo al 100%. Me explicó de manera clara cómo funcionan los impuestos cuando tienes ingresos por renta (como en mi caso con mi basement), incluyendo deducciones y depreciación, algo que no todos se toman el tiempo de explicar. Además, me orientó sobre cómo prepararme desde ahora para el próximo año, organizando gastos de mantenimiento y documentación. Fue muy paciente, profesional y respondió todas mis preguntas sin prisa. Si buscan a alguien confiable y que realmente quiera ayudar, Monica Velazquez es una excelente opción.

I needed advice on how to structure my small business. I had a deadline I was working towards and I had a difficult time trying to get the information I needed. Monica took the time to sit down with me and go over my options. I came in stressed out and exhausted, but left feeling like I had all the answers I needed. I visited in December and haven't forgotten how much that meeting meant to me. Thank you Monica!
