Jeffrey Spiegel, CPA – Spiegel Accountancy

I have been using Jeff for years for both my personal and business needs. He is extremely knowledgeable and his staff is excellent. I could not be happier with the services and he and his firm provide.

Jeff Spiegel is my personal accountant and has been for more than a decade.
I came across Kyung P. review randomly as I was using Google to find Jeff’s contact info (cell phone out of order at the moment) and I feel compelled to respond.
Jeff Spiegel is literally the best accountant I know — and I am in a better position to evaluate accountants than most people (including Mr. Kyung P).
I founded and ran a national real estate advisory firm based in Walnut Creek, CA for years. I had over 300 «accredited investor» clients of my own and I supervised more than a dozen professionals in multiple offices who had clients of their own. As a result I dealt with accountants not only in this area but those with practices based in many locations in the US.
Because of the specialized nature of my business (specialized in tax deferred exchanges of real estate) I had the opportunity to interact in detail with many accountants at the request of our mutual clients or because the nature of the business situation required it. Over time I often received referred business from these accoutants. I also had the opportunity to refer business to CPAs on a frequent basis.
I believe strongly that a competent accountant is often the most important individual in a person’s financial life. They are one of the best potential sources of unbiased advice — they do (or at least should) understand the client’s financial situation completely. More importantly they rarely have a financial motive or incentive to sell anything — other than their own services which are typically billable at a standard rate.
As a result of my work I have seen hundreds of accountants in action.
JEFF SPIEGEL IS MY PERSONAL ACCOUNTANT.
I believe he is one of the most trustworthy competent individuals in the CPA field. I have referred numerous satisfied clients to him in the past and I still regularly refer individuals to him (including my own parents!)
Jeff is successful at what he does and as a result he has earned the uncommon «luxury» of politely dismissing clients that he does not wish to do business with. Although I can not say for sure I believe this was probably the case for Mr. Kyung P.
The fact that Mr. Kyung P chose to «flame» Jeff on Unilocal leads me to believe that Jeff made the appropriate decision — yet again!
