Client reviews

What our clients say.

Families and business owners who trust us with their returns, audits and filings. Shared with permission; names withheld for privacy.

A family member recommended Mr. Jivani, so I reached out by text. We set up a time to talk and went over all of our questions and concerns. He answered every one, filed our personal tax returns that were a couple of years overdue, and helped us fight the late-filing penalties.
AnonymousPersonal tax client
After a state tax audit, I realized I needed someone who knows both state and federal tax well. I have been with them for a couple of years now and have recommended them to others.
AnonymousBusiness client · State audit
When I started a new business, I contacted Mr. Jivani for the business filing. He asked very specific questions, and that is when I realized I would also need a sales tax permit. He did not just help me open the business. He guided me through the whole process, including setting up my logins for the state portals. I got far more than what I paid for, and I still reach out to him from time to time.
AnonymousNew business owner
We had tax issues with both the state and the IRS. Mr. Jivani helped us resolve them, and our account status is back to Active.
