A & L CPA Group

Very reliable. i’m new with them but they were a big help. I was so confused. thank you guys!

1. Alex never filed the paperwork to make my company an S-​Corp (I paid for the service and it was never done properly)
2. Alex claimed to be working on my S-​Corp return last month. When I finally called the IRS to find out whether he had even filed the return (he never sent me confirmation and stopped answering emails, phone calls, etc) they said they had no record of a 2015 tax return. They also said my LLC wasn’t registered as an S-​Corp. As a result, my taxes for 2015 are COMPLETELY screwed. I had to scramble to find a new accountant. He clearly knew he screwed up.
I am completely disgusted with this company. At least have the decency to respond to emails to say that you never filed my tax return. I called the board to report him, but it turns out Alex Lerner isn’t even licensed as a CPA. I would have never used him if I knew that.
Avoid at all costs. In addition to being completely incompetent, he ignores your emails weeks at a time and does not answer your questions.

My return was pretty simple this year, but I had a few important questions. Alex was very responsive by e-​mail in setting me up with the portal and a phone appointment. We discussed the questions I had and Alex seemed very knowledgeable. Later that evening, Alex e-​mailed me to say that, based on some quick calculations he’d done, he was coming out with the same figures I’d had on TurboTax, so I’d be better off booking with TurboTax and he wouldn’t charge me for his time. That’s some A+ service right there!

We’ve been working with Alex the past four years and we are very impressed. He takes care of our personal and business taxes and helps with all of our accounting questions throughout the year. He is very professional and responsive.
Thanks Alex !!

Alex comes across as very responsive and organized. His website is great and easy to upload information. I was looking for a new CPA and tried him out this year. My taxes were not complicated. He made numerous errors on my return, despite us meeting in person and going over everything line by line. There were basic simple errors that I caught (and I’m not a CPA or in finance). It took me 4 hours going through my return line by line comparing it to previous years to find all the errors.
He also states that his flat fee includes any tax related questions for the tax year. After my return was complete I asked him about my federal allowances. We exchanged numerous emails and kept saying he’d get to it. After 2 months I have given up as he just stopped answering my emails.
I would avoid his services. He doesn’t come through with his promises and is careless with his work.

I have worked with several others over the years and in the end, I left them for various reasons… Not accurate, too expensive, not responsive, charging me for every little question I have (I don’t have many). I can tell you that I have had nothing but a positive experience with Alex. He is on it. I’ve turned all of my friends on to him. He is everything that the other were not. He is professional, prompt, accurate, and just a nice guy. Taxes can be a little scary, so its nice to be able to trust somebody to help with this process. I give him the highest of recommendations.

Alex is professional, courteous, kind, responsive and effective. Our entire process was seamless, and there is truly nothing I can say that I am displeased with. Fair prices, and an overall positive experience (considering the meetings are about income taxes), and will be returning next year. Thank you, Alex.

Alex was patient and extremely helpful. We sat down for the free consultation and he was able to set up a game plan for me. I absolutely recommend him.

Alex was able to clear up tax issues for me within two months that I had been struggling with for 3 years! You won’t find anyone more helpful or efficient.

What can I say? Alex is awesome. Had a quick question so I fired off an email one evening. Alex answered within minutes. I was astonished. Didn’t expect that at all. If you need your taxes prepared, this is the place to go!

I can’t say enough good things about this firm. Alex was extremely professional, very prompt with his responses and definitely looked out for my best interest. I was behind on my taxes and he worked them out perfectly. He was able to work with the information I had. There’s great attention to detail, no stone unturned and really fast turn around. I highly recommend Alex.

I’ve been using A & L CPA Group for my corporate and personal taxes for last 3 years. Alex and Emmanuel provide good service at affordable pricing. I highly recommend A & L CPA Group.

I would definitely recommend A&L CPA Group. They have prepared my tax returns for the last several years. I find Emmanuel & Alex to be friendly, personable, competent, trustworthy, plus they seem to really care about their clients. They are also surprisingly affordable.

My first experience at A & L was great. Alex caught a few write offs that I had missed which greatly increased my tax return. I’ll definitely be using their services next year.

This is the first time we did not do our own taxes. We were VERY pleased with not only the professional service, but also the expert advice that Alex gave us! All of our questions were answered and we came away from our meeting feeling very informed about how to approach our taxes moving forward. With that said, Alex is also just a very cool guy who cuts straight to «brass tax» and tells you what you need to know in order to make an informed decision. Thank you!!!

Had my taxes done by this agency again this year, they were recommeded by a friend last year so this is my second year using them. They took care of my taxes fast, made it simple even though I lived out of state and I could not believe how fast I received my tax refunds. Just Awesome. thanks Alex and I would recommed this company to anybody!

I am a small business owner and needed help with personal tax issues as well. This stuff has never come easy to me, I do not like dealing with numbers or taxes let alone the IRS. Alex has been helpful since day one. He handles everything for my business and family. I count on Alex for all the legal yada yada when it comes down to business structure and playing by the rules. Alex provides a great and valuable service at reasonable rates. He makes you feel as if you are his only client which is awesome and saves us time.

Alex has done a wonderful job on 5 years of back taxes and corporate returns.
We were quite worried when we came to him, but after providing him with the
information he requested Alex began to work on the monumental task and as he did we received regular updates and emails with questions until the project was done.
It didn’t take long at all and the professionalism and attention to detail that he provided has eased our minds greatly. His fees were more than fair and it is a pleasure to work with him. Alex is a hero! We recommend him highly!

We used Alex for this year’s personal tax returns and we were extremely pleased with his professionalism and turnaround time.
We typically use a CPA firm in Oregon but unfortunately our guy had a medical issue (never showed up for the appt), hence unable to do my taxes along with four other families (we get together every year for the past 10 years). I found Alex on Unilocal and he immediately said he can help out me out along with the four other families. He went above and beyond and delivered great service! We highly recommend A & L CPA Group.

I used A&L for my personal taxes.
As I recently moved from Europe to the US, filling taxes is a little bit more challenging. Alex took care of it, they have experience with filling taxes for new US residents. I would recommend them!
