Tax Preparation
Zero complaints! James was polite, professional, patient & when he did my taxes I owed a whole lot less than I owed when I did my own taxes. I am a long haul trucker who owns a variety of small businesses in different industries. The itemized deductions of trucking can be too difficult for most, which is why I resorted to doing my own taxes previously. But James did my taxes in no time at all! I was years behind, too, & I am very happy to have James do all my taxes, get me all caught up on filing & save me thousands of dollars in the process! More...

Tax Resolution
James Awad is excellent. I spent over 8 months trying to resolve my tax issue on my own--several calls and multiple letters. No progress. I contacted several experts for assistance, and they said they couldn't help. James reviewed all of my information and confidently assured me he could resolve the issue. And he did. Great communication and great follow through contacting the IRS multiple times on my behalf. James has my highest recommendation. More...

Dear James!
Thank you so much for BEING there for me, for ALL the incredible HELP you gave me since I have been blessed to get contact with you.
The support you give your clients is the expression of genuine professionalism, careful to consider the emotions and needs of others.
It means so much to me your personal response! Your answer always comes immediately even in such a busy schedule of yours!
I greatly appreciate how hard working you are, putting customer satisfaction first.
I admire you for being driven in your career and I appreciate how GOOD you are with people and so many clients trust you and value you.

Siril Varghese
James is knowledgeable, personable and works diligently to get my books and taxes done on time. I highly recommend him as a CPA who can help you with your personal and businesses taxes.
Mohab Benjamin
I honestly don't even know where to begin. Words fail to describe how incredibly kind, patient, professional, knowledgable, committed, punctual, and communicative James Awad is.
I've dealt with more than a handful of CPAs in the past, but none came even remotely close to James. I had a sticky situation with the FTB that dated back to 2016, and even though I reached out to him weeks before the final deadline that was given to me by the FTB to send my tax return, James was beyond accomodating and understanding which immediately soothed my terrible anxiety and concern.
Aside from the fact that he knows his craft and all tax regulations and guidelines, James also knows how to mentor you to be on the best track you could be to save and invest for your future, regardless of your income tier.
I can't recommend this firm enough. Do yourself a favor and just reach out to them even for a consultation, and I promise you'll be a client for life.
Thank you so much. Truly.

My experience with this CPA Firm was amazing. Recently got my taxes and paperwork done and the process was incredibly fast, secure and felt very safe. They do everything properly and they don’t beat around the bush. Very straight forward with the documents they need from you. I have used other CPA firms before but they don’t compare to how welcomed I felt here. Thank you again More...
