H&R Block

Ray Ng is like your Cantonese uncle — he doesn’t understand your Bohemian life but he’s 100% authentic about helping you with the taxes part of it.
I’ve gone to him for 2 years now and will likely go again this year. He will sit with you as long as you need to answer your questions — last year was so rushed and complicated, I actually had to come back the next day to finish them and he was totally chill about it.
I’m self-​employed, which is code for «the government hates me and wants all my hard-​earned money» so if you have this kind of situation, Ray will help you claim your appropriate deductions. It’s also really easy to get an appointment with him and to book online.

I have been going to Ray Ng for my taxes since 2009. Ray is always a pleasure to work with. He is thorough, asks the right questions, and is very helpful. I highly recommend Ray for tax services.

Ray was recommended to me by a friend and I am so happy she gave me the referral. Ray prepared and filed my 2015 taxes and was extremely thorough and patient with my many questions. Since I am self-​employed I didn’t want to prepare my taxes on my own and wanted to work with someone who would be patient with me and help me reduce the amount owed (legally of course!). I had high expectations because of my friend’s recommendation and Ray not only met, but exceeded them. Since my appointment I have had some questions come up and Ray responds timely to emails and phone calls, answering all my questions and educating me along the way. Thank you Ray for all your help!

Seza was very helpful, she did my taxes so quickly and I got a refund out of it too!

Frank and Ray are both great! Last year Frank did my taxes, this year Ray. Awesome service from both!

Ray has been taking care of my tax, payrolls and booking for many years. He’s very professional and honest ! He keeps me in check and out of trouble. I can trust him with all my tax service needs. As a business owner, time is money, having a someone you can trust to take of your tax, is a great relief. I am totally happy with his services!

Absolutely the best tax service I have used! Thanks Frank for the fast, professinal and great service you provided for me on my tax return this year. You have gained a lifetime customer.

I was being helped and had a lot of questions, and Jan stepped in! Not to discredit anyone else, I’m just going to say that Jan is very helpful, knowledgeable, and gave a lot of stellar advice! I recommend her 100% The business got me in and out in a hurry, and Jan let me know the best options for me. I appreciate her honesty!

Came in at 10 AM via appointment. Ray was busy with a client when we arrived and instead of walking out to greet us to let us know how long he’d be, he looked and ignored us. We waited until about 10:20 AM and decided to leave.
There are way too many other tax offices to go to that will respect your time and treat you like a human.
Ray, you done f*cked up.

UGHHH i seriously hate growing up. This is my first year doing my taxes without the help of my dad’s tax attorney :/​sucks to be an adult sometimes! So I went to Unilocal hoping one of my fellow Unilocalers could direct me down a yellow brick road to the right tax firm.
Ray is very helpful and educates you along the way with any questions you may have if you’re as lost as I am. He offered me some coffee and we sat down and looked at all my papers. I felt at ease during the entire meeting and left feeling relieved and free. Woot! dont need to be worried about taxes until next year!

Well, let’s start with WALKING IN, and having them take me 10 minutes later= A+
They gave me JAN, who was just a sweetheart, and really helped me get ‘breaks’ where I could, since my EX-​husband really ‘stuck it to me’ so to speak.
This is the FIRST time EVER in my life I OWED taxes, and trust me,
Jan looked at me and said «you need some water, let me get you some.»
I told her «no, but if you see me on the news tonight, it’s because I robbed a bank… just say ‘hey, I know that girl!’ «She looked at me and say «no you won’t»
…I guess they don’t know me that well…
Anyway, the process would have easily rather been traded with:
1) pulling off my nails with a pliers
2) putting me naked in a tankful of SCORPIONS
3) Chewing on a LIGHTBULB (Yeah, I saw OCULUS!)
or
4) Licking an electric eel
But it is what it is, and before the IRS digs a hole for me in the hot, dry vegas desert, I figured, I had better cough up a lung… Hell, give them a KIDNEY while I am at it too!
But JAN and FRANK, did the best they could to take care of me, and she did save me $ 1,000! THANK YOU JAN… MUAH!
MY new place to go! …and YOU SHOULD TOO!

I cannot thank Ray enough for the excellent customer service. It was my first time filing taxes and he made the whole process from beginning to end so easy! Was very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, & efficient! Highly recommend this place to file your taxes! I will be returning next year!

I first want to start off by the initial phone call to set an appointment to do my taxes. Chris was so helpful. He was like my own mapquest by offering directions to the location here in Pasadena. Chris was very professional and made my visit to do taxes a breeze. I dread doing taxes every year. His personality and knowledge of the new tax laws made the whole experience easy.
My appointment was taken right on time. Chris offered me water and a seat and before diving into the taxes, just got to know me and what I wanted to accomplish this year filing. He was friendly, had a sense of humor and guided me step by step in making sure that I get every deduction and maximize my refund. I’m sure Chris finds ways to get your «billions back» like I see and hear on their tv and radio ads.
It was pretty apparent that this location is quite busy. I never felt rushed and Chris took the time to get each category of my filing marked off. He always checked to make sure I understood what he was doing and even offered suggestions to maximize my return next year.
If you need tax advice and a recommendation, I would ask for Chris. You know where I’ll be going next year. Hopefully Chris will still be there. If not, got to find out where he’s offering his professional and sound advice.

This H&R block is head & shoulders above the rest — it is a privately owned location and the owner, Ray, is a certified CPA whose entire team is committed to your financial needs, whether big or small. They will work with you as an individual. You receive the personalized attention of a small, independent business along with the benefits of a corporate backing — The best of both worlds. I have worked with Ray and I can not sing his praises enough. Ever since moving to Los Angeles from New York, I have struggled to find the right accountant to help me manage my finances and do my taxes. Well, now I have found them and I will never go anywhere else again. HIGHLY ENDORSED!!!

We had some new tax issues this year and came to Unilocal to find a tax specialist. We decided to check out this H&R Block as opposed to others based on the reviews. We are happy to report that this H&R Block was great. Jan was friendly and engaging when she greeted us and as she helped us sort through our paperwork.
Raymond is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, totally professional, and offered us great and helpful tax advice for our entertainment business as well as for our retirement needs.
Service was prompt and painless! The Raymond team is a great place to use for your tax needs.

I love this place! I went in here a couple days ago and Chris helped me. He was extremely professional and it was obvious he knew exactly what he was doing. I went in here with a number in my head that I thought I would get back and by the time we were done had actually helped me get back an extra $ 1,000 that I would’ve never known I could’ve gotten back. I also really liked the morale of the whole place, Chris had a question about categorizing something and his coworker (I think his name was Frank) stopped what he was doing and came over and helped so we could finish because I had an appointment to go to. The entire experience was smooth and I would highly, highly recommend going and seeing Chris for your taxes.

This isn’t your regular run of the mill H&R block. Ray is patient, knowledgeable, and I trust him with my information. I’ve been working with Ray for the past 8 years and he’s counseled me through marriage, divorce, rental property saving tips. This is what a good accountant should do for you!

Raymond has been doing my taxes for the past 10 years and I have always been extremely pleased with the results. He is fast and efficient (in fact, with his help, I’ve already filed this year) and always has time to answer any questions that I have.
Every year while doing my taxes he has made suggestions about things that I could do for the following year to save on taxes and that advice has definitely saved me money!
I highly recommend these guys!

I’ve been working since I was in high school, but my mom normally helps me get my taxes done. This is my first time doing it on my own and I’m so glad I came here! When it comes to taxes, I have no idea where to start, but Raymond was helpful and I felt like he was trying to teach me at the same time. I spent about half an hour here, and I feel really confident about my taxes. They’re methodical in their work and asked me a lot of questions that I wouldn’t have considered just to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Again, thank goodness for Raymond!

After going to another tax accountant for many years and leaving the office feeling like none of my questions were answered. My friend suggested I come to this H&R Block, because Raymond, the person in charge is a CPA and charges the same as any other H&R Block with no credentials. This is my third year coming here is very nice and extremely approachable, not to mention knowledgeable. He explains everything to the point and doesn’t leave you with any feeling of doubt. Definitely suggest everyone to get their taxes done here! This place is a hidden gem!
