TBK Tax & Financial Services

I highly recommend Frank as he is honest and very professional. Five star for Frank!

This is the first time I worked with Frank to file my business taxes. He is a very hard worker, HONEST, very professional and really knows his stuff! I expected a week turn around, knowing how many clients he has, but he was finished in two days. I also learned a few things I didn’t know about the entire tax filing/​IRS process. I came in because of all the strong reviews and he is also very close to where I live. He certainly exceeded my expectations. Thanks so very much Frank for making this year’s tax work quick and easy and informative.

Fawaz is extremely helpful and professional he helps us managing our finances. .and we get the most tax return with him. very honest .we wouldn’t have been able to pay our loans without his advice I recommended him to all my friends and family..

Frank is awesome. I recommend him to anybody that needs help with tax services and accounting. He is one of the nicest and most knowledgeable people I’ve come across. Even when taxes get complicated, Frank works hard to figure out the answer and get back to you in a reasonable amount of time. This is my second year doing my taxes with him and just like the first year I am very happy with the quality and genuine service he provides.

Frank is truly the best. We just started going to him this year and are so happy we did. He made the daunting tax season, effortless. We have a relatively straightforward tax situation, but we decided to go to TBK based on the reviews and based on the fact we didn’t want to miss anything.
We had our assessment appointment where we met with Frank. He is extremely knowledgable and straightforward. Quickly he was able to assess what was needed and asked us to send him additional documents. We sent him the papers that evening and within one business day he responded and had completed our taxes. The process was easy, no hassle and simple. Not to mention, he’s easy on the eyes and funny. (I don’t mean to be mean, but some of those folks who crunch numbers all day, they don’t have social skills.)

I would highly recommend Frank at TBK if you need help filing your taxes. My wife and I met with him for 30 minutes. He asked us some questions, we left all our paperwork with him, we came back later in the day, and he had everything finished. He gave us the chance to review everything before actually submitting, which was also nice. What I appreciated the most was that he did this all on a Saturday. I called around to a few places who only took appointments Mon-​Fri 9 – 5, which doesn’t help people like my wife and I who have jobs.
I would say in most years I have medium difficulty taxes. I buy/​sell stocks, and I also have a HSA account. Both of these can make the process somewhat stressful. In 2015 I moved to California and received financial assistance from my company. Due to the tax impact of company relocation, I did not even want to attempt doing it on my own this year. Frank had no issues. He was even able to get me a return. By using the electronic transfer method the money was deposited into my account in about 8 days.
Even though I don’t expect my 2016 taxes to be as complicated, I still plan on going back to Frank just for the convenience. Thanks and see you next year.

I’ve been using Unilocal for years, but never write reviews. If anyone deserves my first review, it’s Frank. He got me in right away and answered any questions I had. Friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend him!

I came here to have my taxes done and everything was handled very quickly. Not only was it completed quickly, but it was very professional and fairly priced. I called in the day before to make an appointment and they got me in as soon as possible, the next day! I would recommend this place to anyone looking to have their taxes done

I’ve been with Fawaz for the last three years now. He is an honest and friendly tax professional who has the best rates around. He is sensitive to the needs of low income and high earners alike. Great person overall.

Frank is very friendly and approachable! He really takes his time to get to know his patients and tries his best to get you a refund! Enjoyed having him do our next and my husband and I will definitely go back to him!

After years of using Turbo Tax and financial situations changing, I decided it was time to find an actual accountant. And I am so glad I did.
I searched through Unilocal and found Frank. I couldn’t be more satisfied with his services. He filed my taxes for me efficiently, answered all of my questions thoroughly and took the time to explain everything in layman’s terms. On top of being exceptionally informative, he is very accommodating to my schedule. I can honestly say that I left his office with peace of mind knowing that I’m in good hands.
I highly recommend Frank to all of my friends and family. Taxes can be a tough time but I can definitely say that I look forward to filing my taxes with Frank next year! :)

I have been coming here for the past few years since getting married. Frank is so great and patient and does a really great job keeping things organized. He walks us through every step and makes sure everything is clear. I would highly recommend him!

Frank is awesome! Really down to earth easy to work with. I was behind on my taxes and thankfully found frank to finally help me catch up and get things taken care of. He made the whole process go very smoothly a lot easier than I was expecting. Thanks to him I have a huge stress lifted off my shoulders and have found my families go to tax guy from here on out. I highly recommend him.

Excellent service, and we have peace of mind now that we’ve found a good tax guy. We received a refund for the first time in years when we went to TBK the first time, and now that we have a rental property, we are relieved to know we have someone to help us out in ensuring we are accounting for everything properly. Frank is very thorough, but also efficient and gets things done quickly. Skip the strip mall chain tax places and go to a guy who knows what he’s doing and works for himself.

I finally finished filing my taxes for the last 3 years, I was in a difficult situation and The IRS had me by «the balls», I needed to have a book keeper help me out so I decided instead of H&R block to go to an individual and Frank helped out great, he made extra time for me (last minute) and right before April 15^th, he listened to my story and worked out a strategy.
Very relieved now, will definitely come back next year and on time!

What a wonderful experience. I was (don’t judge) three years behind in my taxes after going through some personal hardships. We sat down and he did my taxes on the spot, saved me a lot of money and didn’t make me feel like a criminal.
He carefully went over everything with a fine tooth comb and deducted all that he could. I was so relieved after going to him and wish I had done so sooner!
Can’t recommend this place enough. Five stars and two thumbs up.

Frank is great! I hadn’t filed my taxes since 2011 when some complicated s*** went down in my life and I’ve been procrastinating since. I finally faced the mess and The Bookkeeper made it easy as a summer day at the beach. I really shouldn’t have waited so long to get on it… and now that I know Frank, I’ll be set every year. I really appreciated that he was the one and only person I talked to when I called. He even called me to check in on items! He was kind, understanding and patient with me as well as competent and super fast! Perhaps a little too fast for his own health… working overtime for the season. Nice guy, Great work… call the bookkeeper if you wanna breeze through your financial obligations.

Once again Frank took care of our taxes this year and we are getting a very nice return. Considering last year we ended up owing the IRS a large sum of money due to a disbursement we took from our 401k, I figured we would be lucky to see anything at all back on our taxes despite the fact that our financial situation changed for the better. But not only are we able to pay off our IRS balance but we’re also getting more money back.
We also had to file for our 11 year old son and 89 year old grandmother who we are caring for. Our son is happy that he’s even getting a little bit of money back as well.
All in all, Frank is a fantastic book keeper and I recommend him to all of my friends and family. You should use him too. Unless you like giving the government all of your money so they can spend it on drones and kickbacks and paying down their massive debt.

Frank is amazing! Although we had been using the same accountant for years (for our personal and corporate returns) we have decided to hire Frank after seeing all the Unilocal reviews, and we are so glad that we did!
Frank is not only warm and caring but he is extremely knowledgeable and sharp as well. He reviewed our past 2 years taxes and realized that our previous accountant was not taking advantage of all the deductions that were available to us. I know that our taxes are not the easiest since they involve complex income sources and different corporate expenses and deductions, so it was very important for us to find someone that we can trust who is also very knowledgeable. We are so happy we chose Frank. Thanks to Frank, we are getting a much bigger return than we were expecting (or have been receiving in the past).
Everything about our experience was excellent! Finally, Frank was very helpful about explaining the effect of and the tax implications of the new healthcare insurance law. Thanks so much Frank, and see you next year!

I always use a tax preparer for my taxes, even though I don’t own a business, because doing it myself is a risky option that is not worth taking.
Since I moved from NYC in 2013, I had submitted tax extensions. But I knew the deadline was closing in. I found «The Bookkeeper» on Unilocal and I am happy that I went to Farwaz aka Frank for this task.
He was thorough, professional and pleasant. I thought I would have a problem because I had to submit both New York and California tax forms. I went to Farwaz in the morning and got both mine and my mom’s taxes submitted later that day. Everything went smoothly and am happy with the results.
I plan on submitting my taxes for 2014 on time and will definitely keep using «The Bookkeeper» for all my tax needs.
