I have trusted Tina to prepare my taxes for more than two decades. She is one of the service providers that I couldn't do without! Tina provides me with a date to have my tax return material to her; she contacts me with clarifying questions, then has my return prepared for review on the date she has promised. A great working relationship!

Christina is an amazing tax accountant. Quick turn around as well. After years of struggling with taxes she helped me understand what I needed to do to start receiving refunds again. She was also available year round. What I love most is that she has a strong moral compass and operates with the highest ethical standards. She takes the time to know her clients. I have recently moved to Oregon and will continue to use her services. She is worth every penny!

Christina has a vast knowledge of all tax issues, both federal and California state laws. She has frequently identified legal options which have saved me much money on taxes. She also keeps my investment banker honest when I am unable to be sure I am getting fair service from them. Christina brings a positive and open-mind to her analysis of your tax issues, and allows you to rest assured she will handle the complexities with professional acuity and transparency.

After somebody recommended I check Christina out for my tax needs seven years ago, I have trusted her with filing my yearly taxes ever since. She is very professional, experienced, and friendly. The efforts she takes to ensure that I get the most out of my money goes above and beyond anything I could expect from a tax professional. I'm a self-employed business owner, and Christina has proven to be as invaluable an asset to the company as myself. I will continue to use her services so long as she is offering them. The very best!

Christina has worked on our taxes for a few years now. I really value her friendly and professional demeanor and knowledge on tax matters. I needed to switch tax advisors to find someone who was really knew their stuff about children's tax returns, investments, rental real estate and employee stock (options and RSUs). Christina was really thorough upfront in getting up to speed on my tax situation and talking through some of the more complicated parts of it.
She had no problem understanding our situation. Our first year was great as I had no news from IRS or FTB, which was a relief as I received a few minor letters from IRS for the past few years with my former tax preparer. It was really frustrating not have been able to sort them out and Christina fixed it right away! Christina has also been helpful in researching other tax matters or referring me to other specialists. For example, I was investigating how to plan for taxes for RSUs and also 1031 exchanges and Christina did some research on RSUs and referred me to a colleague for 1031.

I've been working with Christina since 2005 and am happy with her results. She is knowledgeable with personal and business taxes; very systematic and organized thereby making my tax records very organized, which is very helpful when I Need to access past records. Also, She helped me with back taxes and I'm so happy to be right with the IRS and FTB. Christina is also flexible and often we have worked virtually with me getting her the items at Tax time online and signing docs using HelloSign.
She is great and it simplifies the whole process especially at a stressful time like Tax time! I love receiving her educational newsletters in the mail vs. email since I can keep it with my files and her list of items needed for tax preparation each year. This helps both sides to manage expectations and time well.

Go see Christina! "I used Christina's services for a couple of years then stopped when I moved away for two years. That was a huge mistake and thank God she was there to get everything straightened out and back on track. I can't recommend Christina enough. Her patience and depth of understanding of not only taxes but a whole spectrum of confusing illogical government topics the average citizen must occasionally navigate. Go see Christina! - Angel"

I found Christina when I needed someone who could navigate complex estate and business taxes. Even though it was her summer season and she worked limited hours, she called me back immediately. I guess she could tell how upset I was. She has given me sound advice, as well as preparing my taxes, both personal and business. She set up my corporation for me for a very reasonable fee, right down to my corporate seal.
I couldn't ask for anyone more competent, knowledgeable and who goes the extra mile for their clients. No matter what my problems have been, and she's resolved all of them, she's always there to help.

I can't speak to Christina Carter's tax services, but I can comment on my interaction with her. I came across her web site when looking for tax consulting services which I now realize are most appropriately handled by an attorney with specific experience working with nonprofit organizations. Christina took the time to understand my needs and let me know why she recommended contacting an attorney.
She also offered to ask her colleagues for referrals if I needed help finding an attorney with the right expertise. To me, that speaks highly of Christina's integrity and willingness to provide excellent service. If she'll be that helpful to someone who isn't a client, I would expect her to truly do her best in all situations.
