Kazemi Accounting & Tax Service

Mr. Kazemi took advantage of me and misled me to do something wrong. After he got his money he turned to be aggressive and rude. His misled service was overpriced and cost me more money to correct it. What really irritated me the most was his saying that the USA is a corrupted country and he regrets leaving IRAN because they have more democracy and are more honest than Americans?!

Doesn’t even deserve 1 star. I’m still going through issues with him (collections). Here’s what he did:
1. I called him to see if he could help me out with my previous tax returns. He said come in with your previous 3 years returns and he would tell you if he can help me
2. I go in and he looks at the reports I printed saying everything is wrong and my current accountant is horrible. After a little over an hour of him just saying how bad my previous accountant was, I began to think «He wasn’t bad… I wanted someone else to just review the work»
3. I asked him if maybe the reports I brought were in accrual basis vs cash. I had my laptop and we re-​created the reports using the correct basis.
4. Everything lined up and he then said my accountant wasn’t that bad and he went into this talk about how he can help me with blah blah blah.
His professionalism and composure really rubbed me wrong. I knew this guy wasn’t the guy I wanted to hire as my new accountant so I said thanks for the review, but I think i’m going with another accountant.
He took it personally and sent me a bill for $ 500 (2 hours!). I told him I wasn’t even a customer and just wanted to see if he could review and tell me if he could help me. According to him, he said in the state of Virginia the minute I hand him my returns that constitutes a contract.
Go figure… I found out one of my fraternity brothers went to see him and he did the exact same thing to him!!! I still have collection agencies calling me to collect, but I’ll go to the grave before I pay this guy a penny.
SCAM !!! BEWARE!!!

If I could put 0 star I would have. This guy is so rude, impatient, and his promises are just crap. So unprofessional. He manipulates you with his words. I would not trust this guy, Do yourself a favor go to someone that actually want to help you with your taxes instead of trying to rip you off.

I first went to Mr. Kazemi a couple years ago at a friends recommendation. At the time, we found him helpful and really informative, but our tax sitch was pretty basic, so I wasn’t sure it was worth the cost. Now, our finances are infinitely more complicated, and not only did he leave no stone left unturned, but he recognized several $k in additional deductions from our 2011 return – which we did on turbotax – that he is going to refile for us, in addition to big deductions for 2012. He also spent nearly 3 hours! with us and gave us plenty of general financial advice. We’re so glad we went back.

If there was an option for 0 stars, that would be my selection. These guys are crooks. My wife did our taxes on TurboTax and came back with a 20% higher return. During our time there, we had to educate him on proper deductions and such. Simply awful.
