TESTIMONIALS

“Christine was a tremendous help …”

Christine really stepped up when my aging father finally agreed to give up doing his tax return by paper and pen. Despite receiving IRS letters with corrections every year, it was a difficult decision for him. Christine was a tremendous help in easing the transition. 

— Stephanie O., Psychologist, Santa Monica, CA

“Christine grasped the full picture of our tax situation.”

We started working with Christine when our previous tax preparer retired. After looking at our previous tax returns and current documents for a short time, Christine grasped the full picture of our tax situation. She was fast, attentive, responsive, and very professional. Christine proved to be an expert in navigating my various types of grant income and expenses.

“It was a pleasure to work with her. I can whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone.”

Once I started my graphic recording and facilitation business, we turned over the business of tax preparation to a professional. Christine was attentive to our needs, and able to answer any questions we might have had. It was a pleasure to work with her. I can whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone.

“Having Christine do my tax return gave me peace of mind and the certainty that it was done right.”

I used to do my taxes online with the help of a friend. I never felt quite comfortable and was afraid to omit deductions or other important things. Having Christine do my tax return gave me peace of mind and the certainty that it was done right.

— Veronica M., Retiree, Davis, CA

“I would never have been able to understand why I was a Non-resident for the IRS and a resident for California.”

I met Christine as a research fellow at the University of California, Davis. My fellowship had been funded through different sources which resulted in rather convoluted tax documentation. I would never have been able to understand why I was a non-resident for the IRS and a resident for California. I have been referring colleagues in similar tax situations to her. They have been as satisfied as me.

As a real estate agent, I especially appreciate her knowledge regarding rental investments, like-kind-exchanges, and home sales. I am glad to refer my clients with any tax question to her.

“Christine supported us in making this an easy transition.”

We moved to Davis for retirement and to be close to our children and our grandchild. Christine supported us in making this an easy transition. She made sense of the consequences of the sale of our family home and set us up to simplify future tax projects.

“Her multilingual background saved me the time of having to translate my documents.”

During my academic career I have been doing research and teaching in several countries and US states. Christine was able to navigate me through a complex set of different national tax systems. Her multilingual background saved me the time of having to translate my documents. She – unbelievably – made US taxes easy and our meetings enjoyable. 

— Roberto de Vogli, Professor, Padua, Italy

“She has a unique talent to translate ‘Tax Gibberish’ into plain English.”

My prior CPA just collected a list with my income and expenses but didn’t really talk to me. From Christine I received a tax education: Now I know what expenses I can deduct or not and how to calculate my estimated tax payments. She is not only available to answer my questions, but she also has a unique talent to translate “Tax Gibberish” into plain English.

— Melissa Jarvey, CMT - Certified Massage Therapist, Davis, CA

“Christine used to be my instructor in an income tax class and my mentor”

Christine used to be my instructor in an income tax class and my mentor when I worked for a few years as a tax preparer myself. When my husband started his own business, we gave our tax return into her hands. We are both happy we did.
