The Situation
In 2019, Mr. Jackson, an experienced businessman who owns a range of various companies, started an exciting new online store. Even though he had a lot of experience, he depended on a personal accountant to help him with the complicated finances of his new business.
Even though the accountant was skilled, they didn't know much about how to tax online purchases. Because of this, there were some mistakes in the company's financial records. The tax forms did not list the distribution funds and withdrawals of capital. There were a lot of blank spots in the books where income and expenses should have been written, and deals were not properly recorded.

Special Situation
The Situation
Dustin and Rosie, a middle-aged couple, chose to do something brave. They sold their family home and all their assets to invest in the stock market. As their gamble paid off, they made a substantial profit. However, with great profits came a significant tax liability. Unprepared for this, they were faced with a tax bill of over 2 million USD.

The solution
Recognizing the seriousness of their situation, Dustin and Rosie sought our assistance. We connected them with a board-certified tax attorney who had a wealth of experience in handling tax-related challenges.
The tax attorney prepared and sent a detailed report to the IRS, explaining the couple's financial difficulties. The argument made was that, despite their profit, they couldn't reasonably afford such a high tax bill because they had already invested all their life savings and assets in the stock market.
The result
“He was able to avoid being audited, and
make his first online store thrive!”
After a thorough review, the IRS understood their situation and decided to reduce their tax bill by more than half. This substantial reduction saved Dustin and Rosie over $1 million USD. With this financial relief, they could eventually handle their life without the overwhelming burden of excessive debt.Even though the accountant was skilled, they didn't know much about how to tax online purchases.

Been looking for a tax preparer CPA office that provides top-notch services and I finally found it here. I worked with Uyen and she is very prompt answering my questions and concerns. I was able to submit and have everything completed in the comfort of my home. And even after I submitted my taxes and had issues, they were still diligent in helping me address it.Definitely a return customer and would recommend this to anyone needing their taxes prepared.

I was impressed with the straightforward tax preparation service I received
I was impressed with the straightforward tax preparation service I received. Although my taxes are typically simple this year’s situation was more complex than I could handle alone. I contacted Hoang and he responded very promptly. The cost was a bit higher than expected but ultimately worthwhile for the expertise and efficiency provided I submitted all of my documentation and my taxes were completed just two weeks later. I knew I would owe taxes this year and was dreading the process so I’m grateful it was handled smoothly and quickly. Hoang also provided helpful suggestions for planning my tax payments next year. I don’t live live in CA anymore but I will likely return to Hoang next tax season because I feel like I can trust him & his team.

Running a business can be rewarding, but at times challenging. Doing your own taxes as business owner is stressful and time consuming.Atleast that is for me. I contacted Thinh over a year ago to discuss our taxes and he responded quickly. We met for a consultation, I explained the mess with our taxes and we discussed strategies on how to better understand my legal obligations as well as his in terms of investing offshore matters. He was helpful getting my tax situation in order and made the conversation about sensitive topics easy.The attorney gave me good advice about dos and don’t in business as well as a few referrals for matters that he doesn’t deal with. He didn’t make me feel annoyed by the legal jargon and instead explained how they work.Their pricing is fair. You’re paying for someone who has the expertise and time to help with things that you don’t want to deal with. I’ll be working with them again without a doubt.
