It was my first visit to this office and I’m glad I stoped by Thank you, Mr.Alex for taking time, for being so professionally patient, knowledgeable answering all my questions! Very good service I recommend to everyone! I’ll be back next year’s! ~ your grateful customer

Alex is a wonderful person to work with very professional and knows what he is doing. Can assure 100% will answer any questions and concerns you have did our return filing for our business and personal filing for a great price . I recommend him

Very professional. Called early around 1050am and he attended me by 11am. The process was fast and affordable. I forgot some documents and he had the patience to help and resolve any issue I had. I highly recommend filing taxes here.

Mr Martinez did our taxes last year and we were very happy. Our tax aide again this year and both time have received nothing but satisfaction. Very pleasant and healthful. We would recommend him highly.

Honest Review – Just the Facts We were charged 990.00 for our 2024 and 2025 taxes. Married couple , we dont itemize, we dont own a business, we dont do 1099s. Taxes seem to be done correctly. Proprietor is personable. We felt way overcharged. We would NOT recommend this business to our Family or Friends. The taxes were not given back to us in a professional envelope. They were given back to us in a cheap manilla folder. For the price we paid i would expect a leather binder.

I highly recommend Larry and his team. I’ve worked with Larry, Caleb, Elena and Brenda. They are highly competent, responsive and they have a way of explaining things in a way I can easy understand. I’m a new small business owner in an industry I’ve never been in before, and they answer all of my finance-related questions. They are a delight to work with and I trust their guidance and counsel. Five stars from me!

Caleb and the team at Larry B Betts are THE BEST! They have taken great care of our family and business for the last few years and provide exceptional service.

I’ve had an outstanding experience with Larry Betts CPA. I’ve been using them to do my returns for the past three years, and they’ve been fantastic every time. I primarily work with tax preparer Caleb Holt and front office person Brenda, and both make the entire tax process smooth and stress-free. Caleb is incredibly responsive and always quick to answer any questions I have. He gets my returns done fast, communicates clearly, and is consistently professional and nice. Brenda is always cheerful, welcoming, and extremely helpful with everything from scheduling to filing the actual returns. She makes the process easy and pleasant every time. I checked around before choosing them, and their prices were the lowest I found among similar firms. The quality of their work is excellent, and the service is consistently great. I truly appreciate their work and would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for great tax help.

I’ve been using Larry, Ryan and the team for about 10 years now. Without hesitation I would recommend them for your tax needs. I started with them when my return became too complex for my capabilities. If you provide all the information needed, they take care of the rest and send you a comprehensive file for your review and records. I have never had an issue and they always communicate well if they need clarification or assistance from me.

For us the biggest concern about using a tax preparation firm is trust, and that is abundant at Betts, CPA, from the front desk, accountants, and the computer techs, all have earned our trust, respect, answering questions and making quick return responses then turning out a superb accurate finished product.

I have used Larry Bett’s and his team for many years to file my taxes and to answer various questions that affect my livelihood and family. They are always timely and they communicate efficiently and thoroughly. Also, the portal used to upload and receive documents is very easy to navigate and is frustration-free. We are grateful for their service.

Larry and his team were great to work with. Friendly, quick to respond and knowledgeable. I have a small business and this was my first time using a CPA and I’ve heard it can be tough finding the right fit.. This team was definitely the right fit for our business and I highly recommend Larry and his team!

Good morning! I’ve got you—here’s a polished, strong Google review you can copy and paste: ⸻ I had a completely different experience this time at H&R Block, and I’m so grateful! After a frustrating visit the week before with someone who didn’t seem knowledgeable (and has since left), I came back and was helped by an amazing representative. She immediately stepped in with confidence, knew exactly what she was doing, and didn’t hesitate to help me get the best refund possible. She was incredibly kind, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly so I fully understood the process. This experience completely turned things around for me. I truly appreciate her professionalism and dedication—she made something stressful feel easy. I highly recommend working with her if you get the chance! The nice lady that helped me is CATHERINE McCourt😊 ⸻

My experience with H&R Block was very poor. The young man handling my tax prep wasn’t good at explaining things. He did not know about a certain threshold for filing one form and had to ask questions of another person. He also did not explain any of the costs involved for tax preperation, just the costs of all the extra services they offer, for which I had no need. Worst of all, when going over the final numbers, I noticed that he’d completely forgotten to enter my one and only W-2 into both the Federal and AZ returns. This W-2 was uploaded the day before by me, so it was there all along. The final straw to my disappointing experience was an additional $160 fee for a “Complex Filing” which was on top of their legitimate charges. I had one W-2, two 1099’s and two 1098’s and owed NO taxes due to standard deductions. Not complicated by me but WAY overcomplicated by the preparers apparent lack of experience.

Horrible service. I was on time but forced to wait around for 30 minutes to meet with a different tax “pro” than the one I was booked with. The “pro” I was working with spoke two words to me the whole time, tried to sneak in charging me for a complex return (I had a simple return) and skipped over explaining my refund. I had to catch an error for him that would have cost me over $1,000. I was a repeat customer but I will never return to H&R after this experience.

Went today to get help finding my transcript. Was kept waiting for 30 min and then told they couldn’t help me and id need to make an appt with irs and get them. Mind you, she came to the lobby to ask me what i needed because they closed in 30 min and she wasn’t done with her previous client. Which is fine if it was explained. I had to eaves drop. Called the number they gave me and figured it out with the help of the hold robot. Literally on the irs website. Thanks for nothing. Also they’re website let’s you make appts for the locations that are closed and then makes another appt for you without you knowing at another location. Horrible

Have been going to this location for a few years now, and specifically, Maureen! I always get the best service here and feel comfortable doing my taxes with anyone at this location (420 E bell rd)

I have had the pleasure of working with Jeff for the past 3 years. He has prepared our state and federal Tax Returns. I have been impressed with Jeff and always found him to be professional and responsive. His tax advice has been very helpful. I have always taken his recommendations and it’s been nice working with such a pro. The staff at JBrooks Wealth Advisors is great…cheerful even during the stress of tax season.

Jeff and his team have been preparing my taxes for several years now. His tax planning and knowledge of tax prep is excellent. I have full confidence in everything they do for me. Jeff keeps up with the ever-changing tax laws and I recommend him to anyone I know who has complex taxes. He is always very professional, yet treats me like family. His services are worth every penny.

We are a new client with Jeff, but have been extremely impressed with their responsiveness and professionalism since moving our tax work to his company. As others have posted, Jeff is extremely knowledgeable on key tax matters, as well as investment strategies, and genuinely cares and wants to help with your specific situation. We look forward to continuing to work with Jeff and his team, and truly appreciate all that they have already done for us.

As a new client with JBrooks Wealth Advisors, I can only express the wonderful experience I had. I selected Mr. Brooks for assistance with my CPA needs for my mother’s Trust. Mr. Jeffrey Brooks went beyond what I expected. He engaged with me in a real personal way. My concerns were his. This was followed by issues I had at the Bank. Jeff was immediately available by phone to handle any problem. The outcome was more than I could off gotten without his due diligence. My experience could only be described as personable, memorable and successful! I am quite pleased with the outcome and would recommend his professional services.

Jeff Brooks has been our CPA since 1998. He and his whole team are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. He has prepared tax returns and financial statements for our business, tax returns for our personal returns, and also helped us with our investments and retirement planning. We have referred several of our friends and family members to Jeff and they have all been happy with the service they have received and have continued to use his services year after year as well. Jeff has great insight and with his conscientious and conservative values you can trust that the advice he gives.

Jeff Brooks has been handling all of my business and personal accounting for over 25 years. Jeff and his team truly cares about the needs of his clients. He has always offered great advice and he excels in IRS law and procedures. I trust his judgment and experience in all of my financial matters. Over the years, I have referred Jeff to many of my friends and business associates. I highly recommend JBrooks Wealth Advisors to anyone needing excellent personal or professional accounting.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jeff for the past 26 years. During this time he has prepared our annual Tax Returns, advised us on our Retirement Planning and managed our investments. I have always found Jeff to be a true professional. He is extremely knowledgeable in tax and investment matters and always provides sound, professional advice. I have complete trust in his recommendations. The staff at JBrooks Wealth Advisors are always courteous and quick to respond to any question that I have. I highly recommend Jeff and his team!

Thank you to Rodolfo and Vero I was able to complete my taxes in a timely manner. I feel more at ease knowing they took their time to help me understand each transaction.

10 year with there’s services. Very professional.

Everybody at Duran Accounting is fabulous, from the front desk to the owner Regina Duran. Cynthia, helps me and my husband with our personal and business taxes. She is knowledgeable, responds fast to our emails and phone calls, it’s always a pleasure to see her. We highly recommend all the team!

Duran Business Group are awesome, they were super professional and helped me out with my taxes. You can tell they are very knowledgeable and obviously they know what they are doing. I totally recommended.

I recently was using Duran for my accounting and they ghosted me. We worked together for 2 years and in the middle of tax season, they sent me a formal letter saying they were stopping services and haven’t responded to a single email since. It is what it is, they were too busy to handle my case anyway but honestly have never experienced something like this in my professional life. I have a challenge with a personal tax case where the IRS overcharged me for $15k and I think they were too busy to work on it. We kept having the same conversation over and over and I just felt like they were never really listening to me or could explain my situation. I recently reached out to a CPA who listened to my case and created a game plan, something that was really never communicated to me during my time with Duran. For basic stuff they were fine, just the communication was pretty bad. I felt like I just never understood what Rodolfo was needing, probably because of a language barrier. But in 2023, I paid too much in tax to Arizona and was late on the federal return from a miscommunication. No apology, just apathy (my opinion though). But honestly that was my experience, always too busy, never communicated clearly, didn’t seem to care if I had to pay penalties, not proactive, I would have to follow up for every email since it was a miracle to get a response. I don’t typically write emails but I’m still shocked by this experience. And I still can’t believe they ghosted me a week before taxes were due. Luckily I found another CPA but it is what it is I guess. Honestly no way they actually have a 4.8 rating without fake reviews. Edit (in response to Duran’s response): I honestly shouldn’t even care to respond but it’s one thing to ghost a client, but another to lie about it. I’ve never missed a payment I was aware of. I’ve asked Rodolfo repeatedly to charge me more so my case can be prioritized, and yes, you guys did discontinue service. Rodolfo never responded to my email where I asked if we could complete taxes a week before tax season was done and never received a response. This whole experience has been wild. At least be honest about it.

Todd is an absolute expert in his field. He is quick, efficient, and extremely affordable. I can’t stress enough how well Todd communicates and respects your dollar. He brings confidence in working and dealing with the IRS. If you are having any tax or IRS issues, this is your guy. 10/10

When others turned us away, Todd believed in is. He has always treated us with respect. Always clearly laid out expectations, needs, and next steps. You never wish to need these services but it gives hope to know there is a good one out there willing to fight for justice. Thank you.

Todd took on our case where most shied away, so far he’s been great. No regrets, its a long process and we’re hopeful we’ll be successful. He’s willing to work with his clients which has been a pleasure.

Working with Todd is an absolute pleasure. He is highly professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to our case, providing clear guidance every step of the way. His attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome truly stand out.

Todd has worked tirelessly for me in a mass action law suit. He has been so down-to-earth and optimistic. He has never victim-blamed us like most people do when they hear how we were defrauded. I am grateful for how he has served all of us as part of this suit.

We were looking for an attorney for our very complicated case that involves people from different states and countries and by interviewing lots of attorneys, Todd’s knowledge about cases like ours was outstanding. We hired him and our case is moving forward as some attorneys told us we have very slim chance to win. Thank you, Todd. We all are appreciate your help and dedication to it.

Amazing attorney, very down to earth. Cares about his clients. We hired him and our case is moving forward, with him on our side I am sure we will win. Thank you, Todd. We all are appreciate your help and dedication.

I had a great experience working with this company. They really understand how busy things can get and make the whole process easy and stress free. Everything can be done remotely, which saved me a lot of time. I didn’t have to step foot in the office or rearrange my schedule. Their system is smooth, organized, and straightforward. They’re also very open to feedback and genuinely care about making sure things work well for their clients. On top of that, the staff is friendly, responsive, and easy to work with. Overall, they make taxes much more manageable, especially for business owners. I’d definitely recommend them if you’re looking for a convenient and supportive accounting team.

I had an amazing experience with Better Ways! Everything was quick, seamless, and incredibly simple. Carlos and his team were prompt, helpful, and made sure I was fully taken care of in record time. They were honest and transparent throughout the entire process, which I really appreciated. They offer both in-person and virtual appointments, which made things even more convenient. The whole experience was easy, affordable, and well-organized. Any follow-up questions or concerns I had were answered with kindness and patience. I would highly recommend them and will definitely continue going to them!

I had a great experience doing my taxes here. The process was quick, easy, and completely remote, which made it really convenient. Their system is smooth, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Overall, it was stress free and I’d definitely recommend them.

I can’t express how great working with them has been. I am a owner/operator of a small, small business and always try to do everything myself but have been so busy and fell behind. John & Cheyenne have made going thru the process easy and willing to work with me as my day to day is unpredictable. I am so greatful to them for their help, understanding & removal of stress from my life. I will not forget who helped me when I needed it the most at a extremely reasonable price. God bless them & God bless America!!!!

I unfortunately cannot recommend this company. I chose “Better ways accounting” to handle my taxes. At first the gentleman (whose name I will not include) greeted me and was really courteous and answered my questions promptly. During our session I noticed he took notes on a sheet of paper which is fine but then he wrote my personal information on the same piece of paper. Already I thought that was a bit odd. Anyways, I gave him my documents and I emailed him the rest. He added them together and said he would work on them. Tax day comes and I haven’t heard anything at all from him. I called twice and Emailed him with no response. He calls me later on in the day and emails me but I couldn’t answer because I was at work. I went over the completed tax forms and I realized he didn’t include a W2 or my 1099. I came in first thing the next day to clear things up. I asked him about the notes he took and why he didn’t review the things we talked about. His response “we do the best we can”. He then couldn’t find the documents I sent him even though he had them pulled up the other day. He told me to look at his computer and I pointed them out to him. At this point I’m very annoyed because I trusted him to have everything done correctly in a timely manner. I asked if he filed an extension on my behalf since it was cutting it real close. He did not. He kept mentioning how busy it was on tax day (I understand) what I can’t understand is how nothing was reviewed and how he forgot almost everything we talked about. Also well this is happening there’s someone’s personal information left out in the open on his desk in front of me. I told him I was going to use another company and he walked me out and apologized. Now here I am facing potential penalties and scrambling to find another Tax Professional the day after Tax day. I am extremely disappointed with the lack of professionalism and I documented everything. I will never choose to do any business here again. Steer clear.

Da’Varion has done my taxes for several years and always does an excellent job. He’s professional, reliable, and very responsive. I really appreciate how he not only handles everything accurately but also gives helpful advice to improve my taxes for the following year and truly looks out for my best interest. My whole family goes to him, and I always recommend him to others. Highly trustworthy and highly recommend!

My tax return appointment wasn’t planned—I was definitely one of those last-minute clients. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to get a same-day appointment and have everything taken care of within an hour. Great choice! I will definitely be back.

I’ve trusted Davarion with my taxes for the past 5 years, and he has been exceptional every time. He is thorough, professional, and always makes the process easy and worry-free. It’s hard to find someone so consistent, dependable, and genuinely good at what they do. I truly appreciate his attention to detail, the care he puts into his work, and the excellent service he provides year after year. I’m very grateful for his help over the years and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and excellent at what they do.

Very professional atmosphere and thorough with their service. Da’Varion was incredibly professional and very knowledgeable, he makes sure to take his time and answered all the questions I had. I have been going here for years and will continue too! If you need to file your taxes for sure come here!

This was my first time using Quality Tax Group and they did not disappoint! Da’Varion was very helpful and answered all my questions, as this was my first time having my taxes filed by someone else. He made the process very smooth and easy. The communication was great as well, and I always knew what was happening. I will definitely be back!

I love the team at ProVision! This is truly a company that wants to partner with you and help you implement your investment strategies. They listen to your goals and help you formulate a plan to achieve them. They are very synergistic and responsive to emails and phone calls. If you’re ready to implement new tax strategies, give the folks at ProVision a call. You won’t be disappointed!

This was our 2nd year to have the Provision team prepare the taxes for multiple entities and our personal taxes. Tim, Britiany, Kyle and the rest of the team have been exceptionally responsive to our questions and very helpful as we needed to transition from our prior tax team. They completed our returns in a reasonable time. Also, their team provided great feedback of an OA for a recent purchase to make sure the structure was set up best from a tax perspective.

We have really enjoyed working with the Provision Team! They have become trusted advisers and friends. The team gets to know the client dreams and goals and then gives the best advice on how to get there. We have not only saved money but we have become much more educated on the process and able to make better decisions. A big thank you to Scott, Johnathan and the ProVision Team!

Working with ProVision has been amazing for my wife and I. They helped us come up with a plan to reach our financial goals. As well as a tax strategy to help us get there quicker. Choosing Provision is the best financial decision we have ever made.

ProVision has been handling our tax needs since 2011. Their communication, dedication and service is unquestionably the best! They have proven numerous times that their tax planning/strategies can make you more profitable. Having such a competent and knowledgable tax team gives us great confidence in growing our wealth.

After 15 plus years of using same person, was stressing to have to find a new tax person to do our taxes. Hacker Accounting was recommended and we are very grateful that we found Chris Hacker. He is knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He clearly explained process and asked pertinent questions as he did our taxes while we waited. Chris was quick, thorough and accurate. The front desk staff and persons who answered the phones were also very thoughtful and accommodating. We couldn’t have asked for a better replacement for our past tax person. We got our refunds within a week after Chris e-filed our forms. Would definitely recommend and we will use Chris at Hacker Accounting next year. Totally satisfied. Thank you, Chris for easing our hesitations and doing an awesome job for us at a very reasonable price.

First class personal service for tax and acciunting purposes. Online and AI may dominate the space, having a trusted advisor that can provide feedback and advice at a personal level will always be needed. Thanks to Chris and the full team at Hacker Accounting for their great service!

I’ve used them for a few years but I think im done with them. The service is good and the people are nice its just to expensive. $350 for a standard tax year. Standard deduction. Don’t own a house. My kids are grown. Took them 45 minutes at most.

Went to this place to file my taxes not to be held a hostage for more than two weeks and finally I was told I don’t know how to do your taxes. Well good to know I will never recommend you or have you done my taxes since you don’t know how to do them

Cathy Hacker with Hacker Accounting is one of the most intelligent and dependable professionals I know. She goes above and beyond—not only with her accounting expertise, but also in the many hats she wears within our BNI chapter. From handling financial matters with care and precision to stepping up as a leader in community service, Cathy is always willing to lend a hand. I especially love volunteering with her at OCJ Kids; it’s clear she does it from the heart, not out of obligation. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and warm spirit make her someone you can truly trust with both your numbers and your network.

Cathy Hacker has been preparing our tax returns for many years. We’re confident that she makes sure our returns are done correctly and that we are taking advantage of any credits and deductions that apply to our situation. The time allotted for our appointments is appropriate and allows room for questions and concerns, which Cathy always patiently answers. Tax time is stressful and we appreciate feeling like we’re not on our own, but have a knowledgeable ally on our side. The office staff are also pleasant and helpful.

Second year in a row. Cathy has been extremely rude to me & my accountant. Time to retire. Quick books online is too much for her to handle…. it’s like old people with smart phones.
