Michael J. Yuda, CPA, LLC

Mike and Misa are the best! I started a brand new business six months ago and needed help with the bookkeeping and taxes. Misa handles the bookkeeping and has been amazing and patient while keeping me on track. She is skilled and efficient, but flexible about letting me handle as much or as little of the work as I like. Although my business is tiny, the Yudas have always made me feel like I am their top priority, whatever it is that I need at the time.
The only time I have met with them in person was for the free 30-​minute consult. We have worked seamlessly through Quickbooks Online and email. Mike provided me with a user-​friendly tax organizer along with advice for getting everything prepared and keeping his fees down. He is incredibly clear and upfront about what you can expect, deadlines, and costs. The hourly rate is extremely reasonable for this level of service and professionalism. I’m sure there are cheaper services out there, but if you want someone reliable, fair, and efficient, this is a great value.

MICHAEL IS NOT ACCEPTING ANY NEW CLIENTS. I contacted Michael to request tax services for a vacation rental in Waikiki. Michael stated that he wasn’t accepting new clients. I asked if he could refer me to another C.P.A. in the area. He forwarded me to the website for the Hawaiian Society of C.P.A.s.

A friend of mine highly recommended Michael Yuda and I am so grateful that he did! I’ve had other very qualified CPAs do my taxes for the past 20 years and I have never ever received such a high tax return. He is meticulous, professional, and really knows what he’s doing. He is always available to help throughout the process and gives amazing advice. I have since recommended another friend who had the same feedback. Try him out and trust me, it’ll be the best financial decision you’ll ever make!

I’ve had several accountant in my last 15 years as a small business owner and I can say that Mike Yuda is definitely the best I’ve worked with. He is not the cheapest accountant out there, nor should he be, with the quality of work and attentiveness he has put into my taxes the last 3 years. I do use Quickbooks, which helps reduce his overall work and my fee, and he also sends me entries at the end of the year to clean up all my mistakes. For those of you that are not Quickbook savvy, his wife Misa provides a book keeping service at a very affordable rate. If you’re looking for an excellent, honest and thorough accountant that does things CORRECTLY and will also be there if by some unlucky chance you ever get audited, look no further, Mike Yuda is your guy.

I value trust, experience, confidentiality, and reliability when it comes to choosing a tax and booking professional for my business and personal needs. Mike and Misa exude all those traits and more. They are a phenomenal team who have unprecedented experience and I am so grateful that I found them. Whenever I have a question Mike is great at getting back to me and advising me as to the process and next steps. I would definitely recommend Mike Yuda to people
who want to work with an experienced, trust worthy and amazing professional!

I am so glad we went with Michael to do our taxes this year than with the usual H&R Block or Jackson-​Hewitt Tax Services. The main distinction between Michael and those places is, he actually knows what he is doing and is well informed as well as resourceful. I appreciated his attention to detail and thoroughness in preparing our taxes as well as his professionalism. He even looked through our previous tax returns and noticed an error that cost us a huge tax deduction. I felt his rate was reasonable considering his expertise, and he was up front about the cost to us. I personally believe that when it comes to this type of service, you do get what you pay for! I feel comfortable knowing Michael prepared our taxes instead of a place that simply relies on software (that is not always so savvy) and not so knowledgable people. I have full confidence in Michael Yuda and am so glad we found someone like him who is smart, honest and also personable.

I found Michael Yuda through Unilocal and read his reviews thinking he could help a new business owner like myself, since he had such great reviews. NOT.
He was nice when I was on the phone with him, and one day we finally made an appointment and it was at his home.
I’ve never done my own taxes, and always had someone else do them for me, and I thought his 30 minute free consultation would give me some help and possibly have him do my taxes.
While talking to him about the things I would need for my taxes and what can be written off etc, he definitely didn’t seem interested in helping me at all and suggested I get Quickbooks after talking for about 20 minutes. He pretty much told me he deals with people with big businesses and living in Hawaii to do MINIMAL as possible. Obviously that tells me he doesn’t want to help someone who is in need of some professional advice or his time, (a waste of his 30 minute consultation btw) and I did ask how much his services costs were (just because) and told me $ 150-​$ 250/​hr which is pretty f******* ridiculous.
I’ve never been treated with such disrespect from someone who others label him as a professional and would NOT recommend people to Michael Yuda, especially small business owners!

Mike Yuda is quick, precise and incredibly knowledgeable at doing taxes! This is our first time using his services since it is our first year in business. He did our taxes for our LLC partnership, my partners personal taxes, and my own. We usually do our own taxes but realized that our LLC partnership taxes were too much to handle ourselves. We did our best to organize our paperwork before we came in and Mike was able to find deductions quickly that we would not have known about on our own. His office is beautiful, immaculate, and organized which reflect the work he did for us. We are so glad that we found him and appreciate his work. We definitely recommend him!

Michael was very friendly, efficient, and made filing my taxes so easy! I called on a Saturday and had my taxes completed the following Monday! I definitely recommend Michael Yuda for your tax services!

«Mike Yuda made my tax situation a breeze! I’ve already made lined him up for this years taxes too. Experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Plus parking is easy and complimentary which is always a plus in Hawaii. Five stars.»

I can’t say enough positive comments about the Yuda’s. Mike & his wife Misa are a fantastic team. Misa is a meticulous bookkeeper and Mike has decades of accounting experience.
The Yuda’s started at ground zero with my business. Beginning with properly organizing and inputting over 1.5 years of receipts, filing back taxes, delving deep into the business to find write-​offs I easily overlooked being a first time business owner.
Having a new business in the food/​hospitality sector is consuming. The Yuda’s are persistent when significant due dates arise and flexible in scheduling.
The SERVICES are TAILORED to YOUR BUDGET. Pricing is up-​front. Whether you have years of taxes/​accounting to catchup on or are seeking a second look from a knowledgable professional I trust the Yuda’s.
PROS:
— Diligent
— Two professional services for the price of one (bookkeeper + CPA)
— Available last minute
— Reliable
— Sooooo Patient
— Sincerely interested in helping your business succeed

Mike has being handling both my personal and business accounting needs for about 15 years. You don’t spend that long with a service professional unless the service is exceptional. Mike is that rare individual who is both knowledgeable and personable. And he is efficient and honest. As someone who owns a small business I appreciate the peace of mind I have in knowing someone is giving me smart professional guidance at the same time I can trust that the rates are reasonable and justified. I trust him. In this world it isn’t often you can say that… If you are looking for someone you can rely on to help you with your accounting needs you would be hard pressed to find anyone better than Mike.
