Highly recommend Bharmal and Associates. Ive been with them for several years. Very knowledgeable group of individuals. Prompt with responses, thorough with their work, supportive when you need them to be.
Highly recommend Bharmal and Associates for tax prep. This was the first time if used a CPA and will never not use one again for my taxes. After a very complicated tax year Shoaib and his team, I worked specifically with Kate, were incredibly helpful and diligent in making sure that everything was taken care of. Being able to upload all my documents and know that a team of professionals where making sure that everything was prepared properly was such a relief. They turned everything around in a very timely manner. Could not have been a better experience.
Shoaib and team were very prompt at providing information and scheduling calls. He also provided insights into our tax situation to make sure we were getting the credits available to us.His team was great at getting payment and paperwork to us in a timely manner. They made the process very smooth and efficient.The portal used for documents has a solid user interface and it’s easy to upload documents.I would recommend.
Shoaib and his team just prepared our taxes. This is our first year filing with Bharmal and Associates and our experience was wonderful. The team is very helpful, knowledgeable, and offered great advice to us moving forward. They are easy to reach and really make you feel like you are being taken care of. We felt as though they went above and beyond and their fee was so reasonable for the service we received. We will definitely have them help us with our 2021 taxes.
You are in good hands with Shoaib. Great company I recommend.
I think theyre kinda lame and full of themselves. The owner was actually on the phone trying to sell me their service but was kind of condescending. He was like, we do this, this, that, this...and did I miss anything else? I was thinking, man you tell me. Its your service. How would I know.I should rephrase. The owner is full of himself and constantly talks about his experience and the work they had done. I DONT CARE!He quoted me rather quickly and did not really expand much about what the service would include in addition to amending my taxes. They just send me an invoice that simply said, tax amendment, and cost is $xxxx.Not sure whether they couldve delivered but I honestly smelled BS from the beginning with all the were all that speech so I went with someone else that cost less and was more genuine.
I was referred to Bharmal & Associates this year and I couldnt be more pleased with working with them. They are experts in their field and very easy to get in touch with when I had questions or concerns. Their use of an online document portal made sharing documents and information super easy, especially in the time of covid-19. I will definitely be a return client for 2020!
I cannot say enough good things about this company. My husband and I were worried about filing our taxes this year because its the most weve ever made and it was the first year I was filing a Schedule C for my sole proprietorship. We did a free tax/business consultation last year (2020) and were told to call and schedule our tax appointment early this year (2021). Shoaib was very kind and explained everything—including the differences in businesses (sole proprietorship, S Corp, LLC, etc.) and what write-offs would be applicable. When we called them this year (2021) they said theyre asking clients to upload everything so no face-to-face meetings are required. This is brilliant considering the times we live in. My husband and I spent a couple hours uploading docs and within ten days we had the results of our return—and we ended up having to pay half of what we had expected. During those ten days, they even reached out to us because they realized wed benefit from other write-offs we had forgotten about. After looking at the results, Shoaib had a phone meeting with us so we could go over any questions we had. We really feel so grateful to this company (particular Shoaib and Katherine—his assistant) and cant recommend them enough. Their fee was fair compared to other tax companies/accountants, and the service was outstanding. We will be lifelong clients of theirs and forever recommend them to our family and friends.
I was referred to Bharmal & Associates by a family member. I was content with the accounting firm I was using for the past few years, but thought that maybe a change may be best as I was not sure I was getting the full tax benefits that I qualified for with my accountant.I am very glad that I decided to work with Bharmal & Associates. I felt immediately very comfortable. More importantly, I felt I was given every consideration and individualized attention.I will continue to work with Bharmal & Associates and hope to be able to refer friends!
These guys are the best! I searched for an accounting firm to help me with over due returns and taxes. They made everything easy and made it seem not so scary. Now they handle all of my business and personal accounting! 10 out of 10 would recommend 🌟
I recently had an experience in leaving a Limited Liability Partnership, causing me to encounter complex tax issues that I never anticipated.I found Bharmal and Associates because they kept popping to the top of my different online searches. They had a large number of VERY satisfied customers....more than almost any other on Yelp or Google. When you read the accolades from those reviews, you would be foolish NOT to give them a call.I called and spoke to a person named Katherine. She is very friendly, easy to talk to, and yet professional and knowledgeable. She explained that they were offering a free (NO COST) 30 minute phone consultation to discuss your needs. They would propose a course of action and give you an estimate of the costs. She set up a phone meeting for me the very next day. I took the initiative to send her some bullet points on my situation to make the best use of the 30 minute free consultation. (time is money)Ismail Bharmal called me at the precise time of the meeting. He was also very friendly and informative. He had looked over those bullet points I sent, so he was already up to speed about what I needed and proposed a plan to meet my needs. We did spend all 30 minutes discussing his company, the expertise of his staff, and my project. Most of all, you could just tell the pride and personal concern he has for his customers satisfaction. That is unique and sealed the deal for me.Bottom line, they finished the work within a couple of business days, and I am absolutely thrilled at their results....I dont write reviews unless someone exceeds my expectations....they did...BIG time!(AND......for a free 30 minute consultation......what do you have to lose?)
Doing taxes fills me with the same sense of anxiety every single year, having to file them while abroad only compounded the feeling. Luckily for me, a friend recommended I try Bharmal and Associates - the process wasn’t only stress-free and seamless, but ended with me getting a return I wasn’t at all expecting. Looking forward to the 2021 tax season already!
These guys are wonderful. They’ve done our taxes for 4 years now and never disappoint. They are thorough, fast, and so on top of their stuff. Thank you so much!!!!
I had a tax situation complex to warrant writing a Google Doc about it, and I interviewed several reputed tax professionals. Shoaib was the only one who understood that the best way to give me a quote wasnt the typical free consultation (which he did kindly offer!), but to actually read through the document.Eventually it turned out that my situation wasnt the best fit for the firm, and Shoaib candidly let me know. By comparison, another professional I spoke with told me Yes we have expertise in all these areas, itll be $10k, without much work to truly understand my situation or expand on what that expertise entailed.Much prefer Shoaibs straight up honest approach.
I have used TurboTax to do my Federal and State taxes for years but this year I ran into a problem with a K-1 Statement for a partnership that ended in 2019 and I just couldnt figure it out using TurboTax. I asked Bharmal for help based on all of the great Yelp reviews and I am so glad I did. They made it easy to upload my tax documents and had draft tax returns ready for my review within a few days. Everything was online because of COVID but it wasnt a big deal. The best bit is I ended up paying less tax than I was expecting based on TurboTax. Considering the cost of the software and my time, I think its bye bye TurboTax and hello Bharmal for my taxes from now on.
Really helpful, reliable and professional experts. Anytime I need help for my tax stuff I will go to them directly from now. Anytime I had an issue or I needed more clarification they helped me the best. I recommend them for any accounting inquiry you might have.
Years past I was able to file my own tax returns since it was straight forward. However, this year I had to look for an accountant to file my taxes and came across Bharmal & Associates.They were super responsive and easy to talk to. Shoaib was professional and their staff was very courteous.Dropped off my paperwork, and met with Shoaib to go over my return. He also provided us advice for the upcoming year.I highly recommend Bharmal & Associates
Bharmal and Associates have been filing my taxes for years, they are very reliable and quick to respond when needed. They are capable of handling various types of complex tax situations. Additionally their online portal makes it easy to submit docs and send in signed copies, no need to drive in.
I have been working with Shoaib for over 5 years now and he has made our tax season the most stress free. He finds every way to help us, asks us many questions to get the most refund and best of all, he is SO on top of it. Its not just him but Ive now worked with other team members and his whole team is very responsive and knows each case is priority.Ive already recommended them to my family and friends in the valley and they love them. I recommend them for any CPA service!
I was looking for a tax accountant for my taxes this year. I called close to 10 CPAs and accountants in my area and I decided to go with Bharmal & Associates for several reasons.First, it was professionalism. I called and made a phone appointment. I received an email with a confirmation on the date and time of the call. I received a call promptly and Shoaib took the time to listen and answered all my questions. I was very impressed with his professionalism.Second, it was the security aspect. All documents are uploaded to a secure portal. Not all CPAs that I spoke to had a secure way to provide documents. I felt very secure in the handling of my personal documents.Third, Shoaib and his staff responded with questions that I had in a timely and professional manner.And lastly, my wife and I are very pleased with the efficiency and filing of our tax return.I highly recommend Bharmal & Associates for your accounting and tax requirements.
I have been using Bharmal and Associates as my accounting firm for six years for both my personal and business needs. I have been very happy with the service and expertise that Ismail provides me. He is extremely knowledgeable and keeps me informed of any tax changes that may impact my business. He provides the information in a clear and concise manner that is easy to understand. Ismail has made several recommendations that have saved me thousands of dollars over the years. I always feel that Ismail and everyone at Bharmal and Associates have my best interest in mind. Ismail is extremely trustworthy and I feel very confident recommending his services to anyone in need of an outstanding accountant.
I had the opportunity to meet with Shoaib for a consultation and I was impressed by how helpful he was in just a 30 minute meeting. In working with him, I have found him to be honest and knowledgable. He spent the time to understand everything and give me advise to make sure I am staying on the right course from a tax standpoint, as well as gave me some insight on different things I can do to reduce overhead for my business. This was our first year with him and it definitely wont be our last. Well definitely be recommending him to friends and family.As a side-note: in a year of hearing from basically everyone that they got murdered with their taxes this year, we actually got much more back than we did the year before.
My wife and I really enjoy working with Shoaib. Weve been using Bharmal and Associates the last couple years for tax planning and filing services. Shoaib is knowledgeable and responsive to our requests. He cares about our success and I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a good tax accountant.
Bharmal and Associates have been doing my personal and business taxes for 5 years and I have nothing but amazing things to say. They always take the time to explain everything and make me seem like Im their only client, when I know thats not the case. Shoaib is incredible to work with and I have recommended him to numerous friends and family over the years.
Shoaib has been incredibly helpful and so quick! I spoke with him first about the possibility of amending my taxes for two previous years - and he took a look through my returns first just to see if it would even be worth it for me. He was very upfront and honest in his assessment of my situation and possible outcomes, and prepared both years (and this years) tax returns very quickly. The system Bharmal and Associates has let me simply upload all of my documents - so no need to carry around all those receipts and all that paperwork. Ill be having my taxes done at Bharmal and Associates from here on out.
This is my 2nd time using Bharmal & Associates and they made the whole process effortless. They provide great customer service and ask appropriate questions and you can tell Shoaib’s mind is already at work configuring what works best for the customers’ benefits. Highly recommend
After some research and several quotes, my husband and I decided to use Shoaib Bharmal as our cpa. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. I’ve had to email him on some petty things but he was always patient and showed kindness. I would definitely recommend him to our friends and family.
I have never been more please with the process of my taxes! This will be the second year that Ismail and his excellent staff at Bharmal & Associates have provided the utmost professional service to me. He is extremely knowledgeable of his industry and does a fantastic job at navigating through, as well as explaining, the complicated process of filing your taxes. I believe he and his staff will be a great asset to your personal finance goals, as well as your business finances. Give them the chance to shine and they will not dissapoint!
This is my second year using Bharmal & Associates, Inc. and I will be back next year. Between their hard work and the online portal for uploading documents, the process is easy and convenient. Thank you Shoaib and William for your assistance!
We have been working with Shoaib and his team for the past couple years. Shoaib is very knowledgeable, helpful and quick to answer any questions. Most importantly, he genuinely cares about his clients. He takes the time to get to know them and understand their financial goals. We highly recommend Shoaib/Bharmal and Associates.
Couldnt be more impressed with their high-standard on current tax law understanding, hands-on guidance during the tax prep process, and great customer service. I am so glad we found them!!
Shoaib was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. His strong academic background coupled with experience in both public and private accounting created a great experience. The rest of the team was equally helpful and a pleasure to work with. I look forward to working with them in the future.
Shoaib has been a thorough professional; both with subject matter expertise and customer experience and has helped me file my taxes very quickly. He is very friendly, transparent and therefore someone one can trust . I did my taxes professionally in a very long time and am very happy I was able to work with Shoaib and his team.
My wife and I totally lagged out this year getting our personal and business taxes done and started freaking out since everything was so last second. Luckily, we found Bharmal and Associates!! Shoaib and William were professional, super fast, priced very competitively and walked us through the entire process. I will never ever go back to my old tax guy! Do it right with Bharmal and Associates (but don’t lag like we did). Thank you Shoaib and William!!
Organized, efficient and great at what they do. So helpful in efficiently filing my taxes.
I rarely write a review on yelp but I feel like I have to write one for Bharmals team this time.I highly recommend them for someone like me who is starting a new business adventure. He makes the process of incorporate a business easier with a reasonable price. Shoaib and Bota where always available to answer all my questions and advice and help me thru the hole process.
Reached out to various CPAs for a review of business structure and the potential tax/accounting implications of the various options. I indicated that time was of the essence given year-end deadline nearing and Shoaib was quick to respond and make time for a meeting. During our chat he was professional and knowledgeable. He has been available after the fact for quick follow-up via email as well which is refreshing. I would definitely recommend Shoaib for business/tax consultation and look forward to working with him for the ongoing accounting/tax work as well.
During the last 8 years Bharmal and Associates has given outstanding service and information allowing us to grow as a company. If you are looking for a CPA that can help grow your business or to help in your financial needs give him a callOwner / OperatorHelping Hands Relocation
Shoaib and Bota helped us with our taxes this year. We had a pretty busy year and thought our situation was relatively complicated. Both are extremely detail-oriented and always willing to answer our questions. Shoaib always has very helpful advice. They made our taxes seem painless and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Simply the best.
Shoaib was incredibly helpful when I frantically reached out after getting an IRS audit letter in the mail. Before my appointment with the IRS, Shoaib provided various documentation, as well as past successful examples of letters, that I could leverage. Shoaib was very timely in all of his responses to me, and I greatly appreciate his efforts and expertise.I successfully got through my audit, and IRS said I owe them no additional taxes which was such a relief!I highly recommend working with Bharmal and Associates. They are extremely attentive, responsive and effective.
Love Shoaib, hes the best. Best CPA ive ever had. Has been a great help to my business and helped saved me thousands each year.
Shoaib completed my return in a professional and efficient manner. I look for honesty, value and expertise, and found exactly these in Shoaib. I appreciated his simple way of explaining my current tax situation. His knowledge and simplified approach of explaining tax jargon are second to none.If youre looking for a CPA - look no further. Will definitely recommend his tax services to everyone I know.Thanks, Shoaib!
Super friendly and helpful. Made everything easily understandable.
Shoaib has been great. He is quick to respond, thoroughly answers all questions, and gets things done on time.
Shoaib has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He has been doing my taxes for the past 3 years and I couldnt be happier with the level of expertise and customer service provided.
