The Tax Managers

Robbin is fantastic, friendly, smart, and all around great.
Highly recommended.

Robbin Frey at The Tax Managers is great. I have referred all of my friends to her. She has whipped me into shape financially without judgment. I have been a satisfied customer since 2002.

Robbin Frey, at the Tax Managers has taken care of my taxes for the past 4 years. Conveniently located in Noe Valley, they offer weekend appointments that are super helpful. Both, Carol and Robbin have responded promptly to my emails/​questions even during non-​tax season. Overall, the Tax Managers are very reliable and a pleasure to work with!

Tax Managers have been doing my Tax Returns for the last 9 years. They have been flawless on every occasion.

After 4 emails back and forth trying to understand an unexpected discrepancy (since the financial and legal implications are my responsibility) I got an email containing this:
«There is no error in any of the 2014 tax returns that we produced for you. Accept it and move on. You are wasting both your time and mine with this obsession. We are done here. I will not be responding to any more of this nonsense.

The business owner did eventually apologize, but I would not do business with them again.

I had a problem with a three-​year-​old federal tax return and was incurring late fees and interest. I had a meeting with Carol Robinson of The Tax Managers. First she phoned the IRS office and got a time extension. Then she reviewed my documents and prepared a revised tax return for me. Some months later I received a tax refund check (!) and another from the State. Ms. Robinson knows tax accounting and how to deal with the bureaucracy of the IRS. Her fee was reasonable and I will use her services again.

Don & Carol are so helpful & will spend as much time with you as you need to complete your tax returns. I used them for my business and they charged me a flat rate, no matter how much time it took. They also offered great advice on write-​offs that might be flagged and ones that they couldn’t allow. I used them for 8 years & never got audited because they know what’s ok & what isn’t.

We met with Carol in early February. Both my husband and I felt so so much better after talking with her about our taxes. We got married in May of 2009, so this was the first year we were filing together. Carol’s patient and knowledgeable demeanor was incredibly reassuring in the face of so much complex information! She finished our taxes promptly and her fee was very reasonable. I’ve done turbo tax for years, but I don’t think I will again for a couple of reasons. 1) We got a refund this year! 2) It was a huge relief not to have to figure out all the rules, exemptions, etc. Even though turbo tax gives you guidance, I always felt unsure if I was doing it right. Sometimes hiring an expert is the way to go!

They did our taxes last year (for the first time for my partner and I). I think it was a good meeting as they asked us all kinds of questions etc… and since we are not legally married they knew how to handle if we are registered or not as domestic partners (as we are not).
Also they have evening hours to meet us, which makes it very convenient for not having to take time off of work to go in for this.
Try them out.
