Carol is the best! She makes taxes so easy for her clients by sending them a package all prepared in advance - all you have to do is fill out your info through easy to understand questions (not taxes speak) and send back your answers in a prepaid envelope. She offers a discount when you send in your packet early and always finds ways to save money.
She is truly a master of her craft and is a great source for your taxes and other accounting needs. You dont need to live anywhere near her too use her services, she can do your taxes all via mail (or email). Give her a call! You wont be disappointed :)

Carol has been doing my taxes for years now and she's simply the best. She stays ultra-current with her knowledge of the ever changing tax laws and offers excellent real-life advice on how you can benefit from these laws. I've used other accountants in the past and I can tell you insight like this is hard to come by. She's never missed a deadline. She's always made herself available to me. She knows her trade inside and out. She's someone I can rely on. Thank you Carol. Don't know what I'd do without you!

As a former CPA, I wouldn't trust my finances to just anyone. When I moved to Los Angeles over 10 years ago, I was looking for a new accountant. A friend introduced me to Carol, and after a brief meeting with her, I could quickly tell she was very knowledgeable, and more importantly, she was someone I could trust. Carol's experience with small businesses has been invaluable and having her oversee my finances has afforded me more time to spend on my core business responsibilities.
Over the years, Carol has become more than just my accountant, she has become family. Thank you Carol for welcoming me into your life and thank you for your patience over the years! The economy and tax codes continually change, but Carol has been a constant!

Carol Ostroff has been both my personal and business accountant since 1998. In this day and age of automation, online forms and checkboxes, it is far too easy to get sucked into this DIY mentality thinking you can do your taxes and financial planning yourself. Fortunately, I have resisted this urge, and continue to benefit yearly by having a very intelligent, loyal, articulate, calm and gracious CPA that can formulate incredible financial strategies. Thanks Carol for all the money I have saved while not making me feel "too" guilty about losing a few receipts :
