Initially good to work with, but buyer beware! He made two sloppy careless errors on my returns and didn’t support resolution with IRS. Even though I gave him accurate information he essentially washed his hands of responsibility and resolution and I had to navigate the IRS and fix the issue myself. 

Business response:

Hi Becky, Thanks for your feedback. The error you are referring to is an incorrect SSN for your dependent. It is the clients responsibility to review all personal information before signing the E-File authorization. We actually require it, and that is why we upload drafts for clients to review before we file. As a courtesy, we responded to the initial notice. However, I think I speak for all small business owners when I tell you that continuous work without compensation is impossible. You paid a small flat fee for your tax p... read more

Confirm with clients if they want their returns in Direct deposit. 

Business response:

Hi Matt, Thanks for your feedback. We have an extensive tax organizer which requests this information before we get to work. Additionally, before filing any return, clients are provided with a massive instructions page explaining how their refund will be provided. As I recall, you also failed to inform us that you moved to a new address, so you signed a tax return with an old address! The IRS therefore sent your refund to an incorrect address, causing this trouble for you in the first place. If you grant permission to file y... read more

I would rate him zero stars but can’t he is money hungry firm that doesn’t care about his clients his customer services lies to you be careful the customer service tells you he knows tax laws in every state yes federal but not state tax law. They lie and say they are so expensive cause he is a cpa he is a cpa in New York so you are paying his overhead. Yeah he knows federal tax law in every state but doesn’t know state tax law. If you need a cpa make sure if state issue you get cpa from your state. Customer service wants you... read more

Business response:

Kenney, David Beck here. This is a disgraceful review. You had an introductory phone call with an employee who only tried to assist you. You are not a client, and know nothing about this firm or our expertise. Your reaction to a fee of $325 for tax preparation and advisory is completely unhinged. H&R Block will charge you more to work with a non-CPA. It is a shame that small businesses are subject to the whims of maniacs who can leave one star reviews without being a client of the firm. You’ve successfully done harm to a sma... read more

David looked over my last 4 years of taxes and found me an extra refund that TurboTax missed. They double taxed me because I live in a one state and work in another.

We had a unique tax situation because we lived abroad and wanted to use a CPA to help with foreign income. Would have appreciated if David took more time and care to answer our questions given the California tax code allowance for partial-year residents. We tried to ask clarifying questions, many of which came back unanswered. Ultimately, we went with Turbotax. 

Business response:

Khay, Thanks for the feedback. I remember your situation quite clearly, and sometimes professionals have to deliver bad news to clients. Your tax situation was not unique, you simply owed California a large sum of tax dollars. I informed you of this multiple times through email, but you refused to accept this outcome. It makes sense that you would go with TurboTax as you could simply tell TurboTax that you do not owe CA tax and they will file for you! Please be advised that filing with TurboTax does not absolve you of your C... read more

This was probably one of the worst business accounting consultations i have ever had,Rude , Arragant and unapologetic in his delivery, i would not trust hom viewing my personal finances, god forbid any private investment viewings ,i do not recommend using this asshole as a guide for your passions realizations, he is not worth a Damn! 

Business response:

Hi Ramone, I have never had a phone call with you, nor are you a client of this firm. Please double check to make sure you have reviewed the correct professional. Again, I would encourage Thumbtack to implement a more stringent check on individuals who leave false reviews.

Had an initial good chat with David, but the final numbers looked quite high. I tried asking asked about it, the answers were pretty evasive. Asked for a quick phone call and gave my availability, never heard back. Ended up hiring another CPA (very well reviewed here on Thumbtack) who saved me more than half the value David came up with. 

Business response:

Thumbtack, please remove this review. I don’t know who this person is and pros have no defense against any random person wishing to say anything.

I engaged with David on Thumbtack to help address a tax situation on a previous year return with CA. It started off well but the experience working with him quickly turned south when he didn't bother to properly review the tax documents I submitted and responded to my state's tax board with an incorrect understanding on the whole situation. Nor did he properly review my initial request on Thumbtack on why I needed his help. After multiple failed attempts to get ahold of him, I asked him to correct and resend his response but... read more

I had a poor experience communicating with David. He stated he chose a different route and didn’t need my deductions but did not bother to inform me. He asked for information via email and I responded both times the same day but he claimed he never received it, this made a delay for weeks. When I shared my disappointment in dealing with him, he shamed me for being behind on my taxes and told me I was childish. Never once apologizing for the delay or lack of communication. Oh and he also threatened to sue me for slander if I ... read more
