Best tax experience ever!

I couldn’t believe it when Kumar called us and told us everything was done! This is our first year using his services and we already know we are sticking with him from now on. Last year I became a freelancer and I immediately contacted him about what to expect for my new tax situation. He was kind enough to explain what I needed to do from there on and then contacted me again this year to remind me about tax season. We were expecting a lot more hassle and headaches specially since it’s been like that before with my husband’s taxes. But not this time; Kumar was great at explaining everything we had to do. The communication went very smoothly and so clearly, we understood a lot more after our first meeting with him than in all our years filling taxes. After we sent him our documents, he was faster than we expected and more efficient. He made it look all so easy I’m still amazed!
You won’t find anybody more committed and friendly. With Kumar, our whole experience was like being helped by a close friend. Five Rivers Taxes: 100% recommended!

Feel very fortunate to have

Feel very fortunate to have Kumar on my side as an accountant. He is extremely good at what he does….proactive, thorough and fair in his handling of my personal and professional financial matters.

Kind, Informative and Fast Service

The first thing is that Kumar is a very nice guy; you immediately trust him. Second, he is very informative and was able to answer every question I had and gave me insight into California’s and LA’s tax system, which I didn’t know much about as a freelance creative. Third, he was fast. I submitted the forms he asked for. The next day spoke on the phone to clear up a couple things, and in a few hours, he had e-filed my taxes and that was it. And best of all, he was able to save me money. I highly recommend him. Yoon Kim

Friendly and Knowledgeable Service

I heard of Kumar at Five Rivers Tax through Yelp. At first i was nervous about having someone i heard of through the internet to do my taxes. However once i met Kumar, my nervousness was immediately gone. I met with him, he was knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable. Kumar was efficient and kept me up to date with what was going on with my taxes. I pleased with his services and will be contacting him again in the future. I recommend him.

KUMAR IS THE BEST!!!

Kumar has worked with me and my family for over 6 years. He’s super humble, explains everything in simple terms, and is such a pleasure to work with every year. I’ve worked for a few different companies over the years and Kumar has been more than helpful with each tax year transition. We appreciate his efforts and would recommend Kumar to anyone looking to simplify their taxes and have a great customer experience!

Great Service by a Very Knowledgeable Tax Preparer

I’ve worked with Kumar for 5 years now and have been very happy with his tax service. He is very knowledgeable and responds quickly to calls and emails. The first year I met him in person to review my tax documents, but now I just email him all my forms and he completes my taxes in a few days. His prices are very reasonable also. Very happy with him.

Exceptional Service

Working with Kumar was as painless as taxes should be. Five Rivers Tax came highly recommended by friends of mine and I was not disappointed. I came to Kumar after having issues with the previous person who had been doing my taxes, he was thorough in reviewing my past taxes to see what they had been doing wrong. Kumar was fair and conservative making sure I wasn’t putting myself in a position of being red-flagged for an audit which is the last thing I need or can afford. I live in Long Beach, and work long days. Kumar made it easy to do absolutely everything either over the telephone, text, or electronically- a wonderful thing for a busy working individual. Kumar explains things in a way that are easy to understand, he is prompt with responding, and was very quick to get everything submitted. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for great tax preparation!

Highly Recommended Tax Professional

Kumar impressed me immediately. His prompt attention to helping me with my taxes, along with providing sound advice has been truly refreshing. Finally I have found an accountant who I can have full confidence in knowing I’m getting the best service possible, and at a very reasonable rate. He will be my tax pro from now on guaranteed!

Efficient, Reasonable, Reliable

This is the best service I could ask for. Kumar is knowledgeable, helpful and efficient in getting my taxes done. I have relied on his professional acumen for 8 years now. As someone who is afraid of taxes, I am relieved to find an accountant who patiently explains the system, is always impeccably polite, and advises so expertly. As an artist on a low income with a variety of incoming and outgoing sources, I am able to navigate my way through tax time thanks to Kumar. Priceless!

Tax preparation

I was referred to Five Rivers Tax by my son Jeff Bridges. He has had such a positive experience having Kumar Goel preparing his taxes over the past few years so I decided to try Five Rivers this year. I couldn’t be happier!! Kumar did our taxes in a very timely manner and his professionalism was outstanding. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I would highly recommend Five Rivers Tax to anyone needing taxes done correctly, in a timely manner and at a reasonable fee. I do know I will be using Kumar Goel and Five Rivers Tax from now on with no hesitation .

Barbara DeVore

So glad I found Kumar!

Kumar has prepared my taxes expertly for several years at an extremely reasonable rate. He is readily available to answer any and all questions and is very generous with his time. Kumar is very knowledgeable and always has my return done right away. I will add that I am totally inept when it comes to records and taxes and such and he is so patient with me! He is a true professional and a very nice person. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Simply The Best!

I have hired Kumar for the 2nd year to prepare my small business taxes. I have been in business for over 11 years now and have hired many different CPAs. I found Kumar and immediately had good instincts on his expertise, and my instincts were right. He has proven to get me the best return in a VERY timely fashion and at rates that are simply unbeatable. He offers very professional AND personalized service. I highly recommend Kumar for doing any type of tax return, whether it be an individual or business return.

Kumar is the best tax professional

Kumar is the best tax professional I have ever used and I highly recommend his service. He is always prompt and thorough in all of his responses, accurate and efficient in his work, knowledgeable in his field and affordable. He goes above and beyond his job with answering questions outside of the regular scope and has helped me tremendously as a self-employed individual where a good tax professional is necessary.
