I can’t recommend this accountant highly enough. From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, responsive, and easy to work with. I was on a very tight deadline, and he handled everything efficiently while still making me feel like a top priority—not just another client. He has an excellent understanding of tax rules and regulations and was meticulous about doing everything correctly.

I was extremely happy with the results, will absolutely be using him again next year, and have already referred him to family and friends without hesitation.

If I could leave a zero star I would. How unprofessional and overpriced this firm is! With AI taking over accounting you would think they’d be a little bit more professional. I wouldn’t trust monopoly money with them. Edited based on reply: If you think the $100 is the issue then good luck to your firm. I spent $50k with my accountants last year. It’s easy to reply with a canned response that your firms incompetence is my issue. It’s super easy to shove ownership onto someone else. Good luck to you and your go forward. Can’t imagine that AI won’t take this soon.

The service was exactly what I expected and more, the staff is pleasant to speak with and very professional, I definitely recommend.

Doesn’t bother to return calls after initial consultant and after calling in twice and being promised to be contacted by the end of the day, still doesn’t bother communicating. Definite not how you should treat prospective customers.

Natalie and her team are great to work with, they are personable, professional and they really know their stuff. Natalie has personally help me and several of my clients better position ourselves to save in taxes, just by following some of her recommendations! Kim

I’ve been working with Wendy for several years now, and she has consistently done an excellent job handling my tax filings.

Wendy is the best accountant, with excellent financial thinking, a very gentle personality and great patience. She is the most worthy financial expert for you to experience and have.👍

Very irresponsible and disrespectful. She didn’t allow you to ask questions. And she liked to make you waiting long time or go back second time or third time to show how difficult it is to file tax return to make her clients feel that they are helping you a lot. She kept complaining about mistakes her employees made. She hired some unprofessional employees and she kept correcting the mistakes on their computer. She easily lose temper and got mad with his employees and clients too. She was very rude. Didn’t understand how she got so many 5 stars reviews. It was a nightmare to be treated by her in such a rude way

Extremely rude. Does not know kindness or understanding to someone who is trying to find a new accountant. Instead I was shamed for wanting to find a new accountant and was told I’m at fault for going with a friend’s recommendation when it came to my first accountant. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

What amazing services they offer I went to do my taxes with Daiz Financial Services and within 1 hours completely done. A co-worker referred me to them and I loved it I will continue to do my taxes there next year and the following. Excellent service. Highly recommended Daiz Financial Services.

Diaz Financial has been Excellent for all my tax needs. Appointments are always available. This business has been here for 25 years. I am a very happy client.

I’m very grateful for all of her support and would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for trustworthy tax and business guidance.

I have an LLC with a partner and hiring Celia’s services to guide us with our bookkeeping, multiple compliance the business requires, and advisory services has been one of the best decisions we’ve made.

I had an excellent experience with SoCal CPA Tax and Consulting Services, Inc., and I highly recommend working with CPA Celia. From start to finish, Celia was incredibly responsive and thorough in completing my taxes. She took the time to answer all of my questions clearly and made sure I fully understood everything. What really stood out was how she went beyond just filing my taxes—she also helped me plan ahead for future tax situations, which I truly appreciated.

Cassidy and his team at MBS were incredibly helpful with our taxes this year. We had some complex situations like selling a home, a rental property, and solar purchases, so it felt a bit overwhelming at first. They made the whole process feel much more manageable. Their team was responsive and took the time to answer all of our questions along the way. The online system they use was easy to navigate and made submitting everything really convenient. We’re very happy with the outcome and had a great experience overall. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and knowledgeable tax support!

Cassidy is a genius, the end… Actually – let me expand on that a little. Hmmm… Here’s a Country Swang Jingle that might help express how I feel about the best CPA Fresno has ever seen and how amazing MBS actually is. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alright, here goes…. kick in the banjo. I’ve got more than one business, And a whole lotta moving parts, From S-Corps, to LLCs, It used to stress our hearts. Last time around we felt confused, Like we needed a decoder ring, But now with MBS Accountancy… We finally understand, everything! Cassidy’s the real deal, y’all, Sharp as a tack and twice as fast, Knows how to work that tax code He needs his own Masterclass… They laid it out plain, no smoke, no spin, Turned all my numbers into a win! Advanced strategies we never knew, Just sittin’ right there… in plain view. 😳 Cassidy flipped three old tax returns, Calm, collected, unfazed, Next thing we know, tens of thousands Now WE’RE the ones gettin’ paid!!! So now we’re educated and confident, No more tax-time guessing games, MBS Accountancy, Y’all better save the name!!!!

MBS has been a fantastic partner and teammate for Nexgeneral Construction. Cassidy and the team have helped us make informed financial decisions, given us valuable leadership in the areas of taxation and corporation, and generally been a great supporter of our business. I highly recommend MBS as a partner for any business.

Cassidy and his team are wonderful team to work with. Wether he did my personal taxes before I owned my business and now multiple business’s. MBS is one firm you can count on having your back as your grow and need that extra eye and professional advice. I would not just recommend MBS but demand you reach out before asking for help anywhere else for your accountant needs! Great team, great support and will be my accountant for long as I am doing taxes!!

Cassidy + the MBS team have been INCREDIBLE to work with as a small business owner. With little to no knowledge in accounting, and multiple avenues of revenue to track and balance, Cassidy took the time to really educate me and get my accounts where they need to be! Working with MBS has been amazing and so transformational for my business.I am now able to make better business decisions with their help. So grateful for MBS!

I’ve been working with MBS and Cassidy for about 6 years and have been incredibly pleased with the service, professionalism, and value that I’ve received. I own Delerio Construction business and I have used MBS for everything from tax strategy and advice to bookkeeping and consulting. They incorporate technology to make the process simple and efficient, and the staff is great and easy to work with. I can’t recommend them enough and am sure I’ve found a professional CPA that I can trust for the duration of my business career and beyond.

Our organization had an old accounting system that needed to be updated. I contacted MBS about migrating to Quickbooks Online and they said they could help. Riccardo helped us with the conversion, transferring data, and setting up connections with our payroll system. He was patient, flexible, and able to explain things so that I could understand what was going on. It has been great working with him. I am glad we started working with MBS and wished I had done so much sooner.

We are very pleased with The Taxation Experts, Chris is really knowledgeable and I have 10+ years asking for their services. I started to ask for individual income tax services support since I was in Torrance, then got married and we continued with Chris and his team, we moved to Burbank and we were able to get great support. He has been upgrading his systems, the company has easy friendly platform to get online support and easy communication. Now my husband required additional services with his trust and Chris has been amazing. We really recommend this company!!!

I can’t recommend Chris Aprahamian highly enough. After my husband passed away, I was faced with several years of complicated tax issues, and Chris took the time to thoroughly analyze everything and help me get back on track. His knowledge, attention to detail, and creative tax planning have been invaluable, especially with my rental properties. Just as importantly, he and his staff are always responsive, professional, and kind. Chris is generous with his time, explains things clearly, and genuinely cares about his clients. I’m so grateful for his expertise and support and would recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding CPA.

My husband and I have been working with Chris and The Taxation Experts for several years, and we truly appreciate not only their expertise and guidance, but also the trusted relationship we’ve built over time. Chris and his team are always available to answer questions throughout the year and are especially helpful, responsive, and reassuring during tax season. We highly recommend Teh Taxation Experts for both their professionalism and personal care.

After doing some research for trusted CPA’s with an EA credential, we met Chris Aprahamian CPA, EA in 2023 and ultimately chose him for our 2022 taxes. Since then, Chris has guided us professionally with the do’s and don’ts of a writing business and a full-time job. Chris continues to educate us on allowable use of business expenses and the appropriate lines of consideration for taking deductions with the most favorable tax implications. We trust Chris and continue to utilize his services – his team at The Taxation Experts Inc. has been great to work with through the last several years.

My husband passed away in late May 2025 following a lengthy illness. During our 42 yr marriage he had always handled our taxes. Chris Aprahamian was his tax preparer, so I contacted his office, explained the situation and asked for help. Chris and his staff were exceedingly patient and helpful to me in the preparation/filing of our late 2024 return and our 2025 return. They were accessible and accomodating. The fees charged were very reasonable.

I had let Tyler know about filing earlier in February because I’m in the middle of family court and he gave me a timeline to get back to me by the beginning of March. We’re in April and he’s been unresponsive for weeks and just responded with saying we’re filing «after April 15.» I’m not sure if this is some sort of joke. I paid him every month and did not meet once for an entire year. Keep that in mind.

Honestly, my taxes are my most expensive bills. Having him to advise me on some options allowed me to make the best informed decisions for myself. Really appreciated his guidance on some life changing decisions that have affected me in positive ways only!

The best CPA to work with, in not only Fresno, but anywhere! Truly blessed to work with such a great firm.

I have been a client of Roos & McNabb for more than 3 years now. Found using quickbooks as a way to better understand the software, I ended up hiring them to help with my accounting for my newly established small business. They were very helpful with all areas, including areas specific to the industry, transpiration. RM had specialists in all areas of finance. They were never pushy and always helpful when needed. I never had to wait for a response from their team. They were also there when my wife and I started thinking of financial planning for our future, something we still haven’t moved forward with, but will once we have the funds. We will definitely be using Roos & McNabb for our future financial planning. I trust Tyler and their team, and now they will always work hard for me and my family. I recommend them to anyone.

I’ve known Roland and his firm for many years and they have been GREAT! I can’t thank them enough for all of their personal service, professional advice and timely solutions to all of my business and personal tax issues. They have my strongest recommendation.

Negative five stars if possible. Missed our scheduled consultation on a Sunday (Sunday was per Tyler’s request) then the next day I get a call from the secretary that he he had a «family emergency» and would like to reschedule. She offered times, I accepted one, and waited for a calendar invite that never came. Tried reaching out to let her know and cc Tyler on email and no response. Such a waste of my time and so unprofessional. If this is how they handle potential new clients I can only imagine the shoddy state my taxes will be in under their care- no thank you!

Roland Roos and Company has been preparing my taxes and providing sound accounting advice to my husband and I for 17 years. He and his staff are professional, courteous, knowledgeable and do a great job preparing us for what’s ahead and keeping us informed on what’s happening with tax changes. I highly recommend them.
