Absolutely amazing experience. Svetlana was extremely knowledgeable and made the filing of my taxes such a seamless process; she completed the returns while we were on our one-hour phone consultation. She was extremely kind and understanding of our situation and provided valuable guidance for our future tax returns. Will definitely continue using her services in the future, and I’m so grateful for having found her. Thank You, Svetlana.

5 stars! Excellent service and communication! Svetlana is super efficient and knows her taxes! Very responsive and professional. Excellent communication. She has assisted us in organizing our small businesses and has offered excellent advice as to how we can track our finances more efficiently. We wouldnt dream of trusting anyone else with our taxes. So happy we found Taxlana!

In our previous dealings with tax preparers, we encountered several major issues, including:• The worksheets provided for organizing tax data (typically _not_ fillable forms) were difficult to understand and use.• Fees were often arbitrary and excessive—one tax preparer would only quote me an hourly rate of several hundred dollars with little idea as to how long the work would take, another that we actually engaged added on a couple hundred to his original quote with no explanation and a third charged us a rush fee for non-rush service.• Either we were obliged to meet in person with the tax preparer unnecessarily for hours on end or, in another case, the tax preparer was unavailable for any discussion in real time, with emails sometime answered only after weeks of waiting.• In one experience (with an individual working for H&R Block), the tax preparer discouraged us from contributing to IRA accounts not because that was in our best interests (it wasnt) but because she apparently didnt know how to work this into her calculations.• A surly attitude on the part of some made the experience needlessly unpleasant.We experienced _none_ of these issues with Svetlana. Her worksheets, with fillable fields, are easy to use. Her fees are reasonable and clearly posted on her website. She offered a one-hour meeting in real time on Zoom, as part of the service, which turned out to be more time than we needed. She was pleasant and professional throughout her entire efficient process.In short, we couldn’t be more pleased with the service we received and for this reason highly recommend Svetlana, without qualification.

We have been working with Lana for a few years and she is excellent. She has been very diligent in guiding us through our taxes and also helps us walk through the different options we will have to get the most out of our return. There is a good guide on how to be prepared with the right documentation before the appointment so that most of the work is one pretty fast. Even though we have moved out of San Diego, we continue to work with her remotely and there has been no difference. I would strongly recommend her.

I finally found accountant I can trust. Svetlana is very knowledgeable and anytime I have a question or need something I can email her and she gets back to me promptly. She filed my LLC taxes for 2019 and made the switch to an S Corp so easy for my company. She is extremely quick and efficient with all of it. I highly recommend her!

Svetlana was nothing short of amazing! She set up my new S Corporation within 24 hours of our initial call. She is friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and super fast. If you need tax and/or corporate help, why not get the best? I highly recommend Taxlana for all your needs.

Svetlana was able to provide very clear answers for all of my small business tax questions. Having little knowledge on where to start and finishing the consultation with a clear direction and understanding of each tax related situation I am working through as I get started was very helpful. Highly recommend Svetlana for any accounting questions and services!

We have been clients for the past three years, and will be clients for life. Svetlana is absolutely wonderful, the definition of efficient. She answers every question, and is extremely pro active. I really appreciate how organized and meticulous she is, we always receive two copies of our tax return, on physical and one in the email, encrypted. We’re a military family and she has navigated us with ease year after year. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Being new to San Diego this year I wasnt sure where to go to have my taxes done. Doing some internet searching brought me to Taxlana, and Im glad it did. Theres a reason why she has so many good reviews. She was more than knowledgeable, timely and incredibly nice. Great experience and well be back next year.

Lana is incredible, even though I waited until the very last day to file she made an early morning appointment and in less than a half hour she finished. Even better news Im getting back money from both the IRS and the state. Im sixty eight and have owned my own business and she is the best that I have ever used. Sencerily Frank Cardo

Svetlana was thorough, efficient, extremely informative, and even helped me with actionable advice for maximizing my return next year. I had quite a few tax events in 2018 (home purchase, home sale, marriage..) and she was very responsive to my many questions leading up to our appointment to help me make sure I had all the right documents in hand for our meeting. She was also a true pleasure to work with. If youre looking for a tax accountant, you need not look any further!

Very pleased that I chose to use Taxlana as my small business CPA.She was efficient, pleasant to work with, diligent in researching and explaining somewhat unique tax issues for my business.And all of this at a very, very good rate (substantially less than the other small business CPA quotes I received).

Review №35

I had a great experience filing my taxes with Lana! Although my tax situation may not be overly complex, there were a lot of new situations to me. With a home purchase, refinance, student loans, marriage, and child all in the last couple years, I was a bit overwhelmed. Lana very clearly knows this business and does a great job explaining everything along the way. I have a great peace of mind knowing my deductions were maximized and everything was completed correctly. I will definitely return next year!

I started a new LLC in California and was almost completely lost. Svetlana brings years of experience working with entrepreneurs like me, and was worth the fee I paid her many, many times over. On top of all that, shes timely, considerate, and an all around pleasure to work with. She also helped me file as an S-Corp which saved me a ton of money. 10/10 would recommend.

She used to be very good, but now has heavily jacked up prices, even more than some large tax offices. Service and responses have degraded accordingly. Had to change CPA.

I started my business at a young age with little to no guidance. I was just figuring things out as I went. That didnt go so well. I was refered to Lana by a friend about 4 years ago and she has been a savior!! I call her an angel because she has guided me in the right direction to getting on track for a financially stable future and saving me literally thousands of dollars a year. I am SO grateful for her!

My wife and I have used everything from TurboTax to HR Block. Our taxes started to get a bit confusing so we decided to seek out someone new to help us out. Easily the BEST decision we made was going to Svetlana (Taxlana). If you want your taxes done right (personal or business) - shes your person. Hands down.

Review №47

Svetlana, prior to deadline, started politely reminding me that we were running out of time and squeezed me in to her crazy busy season crunch time. She emailed prior to appointment with tasks for me to complete and files to bring but with customization unique to my situation. She remembers everything and asks questions related to stuff we only briefly talked about. It’s pretty impressive when you realize she is doing this with many clients all the time. Watching Svetlana work is awesome, she is so fast at typing and thinking. She can do in one hour what would take me a month to do. She does great work, correctly, is patient, kind, relaxed, and just overall a pleasure to be around. The value I received in this b2b is second to none. I consider myself extremely lucky to not have to experience the infamous crackpot accountant I keep hearing about. Svetlana, thank you for making this part of business easy and painless and dare I say fun?!
