Michael West & Associates

Mike has been preparing our tax returns for over 25 years. He even did our taxes when we lived in Nevada and New Mexico. We’ve never been audited and if we ever were Mike would be right there. If I ever had a question he promptly returned my call or answered it on the spot. He is currently preparing some estate stuff for our 2015 return. Great guy and very professional.

This is the first year I am going to someone new in the last 10 years. Needed someone close to home since we have a rental this year, no more mailing in only. Tried Mike from a recommendation of one of his clients that happen to be my realtor. Couldn’t be happier. He was on time, got down to business. Office is clean, made sure all my tax needs were taken care of. Also told me to call anytime I had questions (no question is too little) so that was nice. Been in business for over 30 years & very competent. Of note, he is an EA not CPA so he specializes in taxes. Return was promptly done & mailed to me for signature and e-​file.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Michael today feeling as though I needed professional help this year with my taxes.
After explaining to him my concerns and needs, he was very conscientious & generous in telling me what I needed to know without asking to make an appointment for a consult fee or anything. Instead he very professionally, and fairly recommended that he felt as though, while he could help me (and humor me), that my needs could me met simply and efficiently through any tax preparation program.
It was very obvious to me all through our conversation that Michael West & Associates are a very knowledgable, friendly, fair, honest, and thorough professionals who treat all contacts and communications, as important. For this beautiful treatment (which seems to not exist anymore) I am happy to leave outstanding remarks for them, and, as I told him at the end of our conversation in hopes that he would understand it was a compliment, I look forward to contacting him in the future when I have needs that more closely match he & his staff’s talents.
(I am a firm believer in credit where credit is due, this why I have written this. Thanks.)

Mike is great! He took the time to meet with my wife and I after we incorporated our business and made us feel comfortable that we had made the right decision by selecting him to handle our taxes. Most other accountants weren’t willing to provide a consultation or acted like we were crazy for wanting to meet with them. Highly reccomend!

We just relocated to the Concord area and found Mike on Unilocal.We really like his laid back manner and timely responses to our requests. His background in construction is also a plus, as we are contractors and will need to fall back on his expertise in the field. We look forward to a long working relationship with Mike!

My family has been working with Michael for many years. He has always been professional, courteous and responsive. He is a pleasure to work with.

Since we live in Santa Clara and Michael is located in Concord, we are able to send our tax documents to him. If we have any questions or concerns, we simply send email or call him directly.

Michael prepared my taxes this year he is a extreme professional he found deductions that I was missing, got them done quickly. He has great knowledge on tax preparation as well as retirement planning I recommend Michael if you your looking for help from a real professional that is very affordable, thanks, Randy L.

Tax time again! I married into the Michael West & Associates. Well, I should say I married a customer of his that has been using them since he was able to be held accountable by the IRS.
For the past 2 years we have had great service from Michael. He will sit down and talk to you one on one about whats going on with your tax’s.
Its been a good few years so we are very happy.
