Tony defines the platinum standard in service, integrity, transparency, quality and warmth.
He does my taxes and I am very satisfied heading into my 3rd year.
It's icing that he is a good soul and that resounds through the rest. -

These people screwed up our taxes repeatedly (My review seems to have vanished... How quaint) for the 2010 tax year.
We were passed off to someone who did not know what they were doing. We asked if we could still put money in an IRA and she said we couldn't. So we filed taxes and owed money.
A week later, we saw an advertisement saying that we had more than a month left to put money in an IRA. So we called and wanted an amendment. They repeatedly promised to get it done for us, but took forever. Then they created the amendment, but neglected to actually file it.
It was a nightmare. These Yelp reviews are a scam and so is this place. -

Walk into Tony's office and you'll see right away that this is a place of peace, kindness, and compassion, with a huge gold Buddha face watching you over his desk, and a smaller one greeting you from the shelf. He's humble, brilliant, genuine and fun. As Buddha says, "All we are is a result of all we have thought". I guarantee you his thoughts go way beyond taxes to helping others that take the path to his door.
I say this because I was secretly dreading having to find a new accountant, and had some major tax issues to deal with in a very big hurry. I do believe in miracles and serendipity, but they just don't seem to go hand-in-hand with the idea of taxes....or do they...?
Not only did Tony work me in almost immediately, he spent a great deal of time with me in our first meeting listening to me and helping sort out the problems, and at no charge. He reassured me calmly that he's dealt with things like this before and that we could easily, quickly and relatively inexpensively handle everything.
One week later, and it's all done, and I can tell you for sure there's no one like him, that I feel incredibly blessed to find him, and I'll never go anywhere else. -

When Tax Plus prepared my taxes and I owed the IRS $1700. I questioned it and they told me I owed because I made a lot of money that year.
Last year I made slightly more money than the previous year. I used a different CPA and received nearly $2000 in refunds. -

TONY. TONY. and more ... TONY.
I am the ultimate procrastinator (this long overdue review is case & point) and therefore consistently find myself with bumbled, half-chewed and spit-out shoebox receipts (if Tony is lucky) at the very end of the tax year.
After years of going to TaxPlus to get my tax returns, I STILL don't listen to Tony's extra specialsauce helpful advice about staying organized throughout the year. Sorry Tony! But like Jesus, Tony always forgives your sins - patiently and calmly sorting through an entire year's financial mess and handing over everything to you, (and the government) in a nice, neat TaxPlus folder.
This year however, I paid an extra early visit to his office the last week of 2010. I was urgently in need of financial advice (upon stumbling on a sizeable bonus, woot woot!), and he took my frantic call and scheduled me for the next day. After calming the tax demons in my head and spending well over an hour on strategizing my financial plan and potential tax deductions ... he didn't charge me a cent! Tony makes the fiery hell of tax season feel like fresh baked blueberry muffins on a sunny front porch with your happy-go-lucky grandmomma.

Tony and his team have prepared my taxes for 5 years now. He is efficient, friendly and thorough. He provides year-round advice/service for my home business and personal tax issues. His background as a financial advisor is a plus.
Looking forward to a nice return again this year. -

Tax Plus is by far the best tax company I've worked with over the years. They have done my last 3 years + 2 corrections for me, and I can't rave enough about their work.
Tony helps me out and he always takes his time and is very detailed and extremely knowledgeable. He will help explain rules and gives you exceptional feedback.
I highly recommend him for any of your tax needs, he helped with both my personal + business tax returns. -

I usually do my own taxes. Had a friend do them for a couple of years, but she took a job out in North Carolina. Wanted some advice since we changed employers after 30 years with the same one, wanted to move some assets to our Roth IRAs, and roll over our pensions. My wife found Tax Plus on Yelp. With the outstanding recommendations, we decided to give them a try.
Leticia got us set up, then we went in to see Tony. He spent time getting to know us, our situation, and where we wanted to go financially. Understand that this is last December. Tony helped us to understand the tax side of our issues, made some recommendations, and calculated our estimated tax for converting a traditional IRA to a Roth.
Had Tony handle our taxes for 2009, and that went very smoothly. Well worth what he charged us. Actually, worth a lot more than what he charged us.
Went back a couple of days ago, to discuss estimated taxes for this year. Tony took the time to talk through our situation, this year, crunched the numbers, and gave us the 1040-ES and 540-ES vouchers to send in with our estimated taxes. Outstanding service and care.
You always feel that you are important, as a person, to Tony and Leticia. They have time for you. You are not just a customer. I highly recommend Tony Navarro and Leticia Olguin at Tax Plus. -

The ominous and sinister date of April 15th can be slightly less ominous and less sinister (and certainly less annoying) by going to see Tony Navarro at Tax Plus in Venice. He is the owner and resident tax preparation expert who, if you come organized and well-documented for deductions, can file your taxes electronically right there in front of you. Of course, for more complex taxes, then he will work with you as long as it takes to file properly.
His staff is friendly and helpful. They offer no attitude. Your net worth and income does not affect their level of service. So whether you're local millionaire, the trust fund baby, or the up and comer, they'll take care of you at Tax Plus.
I highly recommend checking out their service, especially when tax season rolls around. -

Tony was great! My taxes were uber hairy...like amazon jungle woman hairy. I thought for certain I would have to pay the IRS this year. Tony did better than that, he got me a refund. I couldnt believe it. I was so stoked. And he also offered me advice and gave me tips for getting my business started. I cant recommend him more. GO! :-)

In need of help with back taxes, I was originally referred to Tax Plus LA back in 2005 by my mother who had been doing her taxes with Tony Navarro for some time at that point. How could you go wrong with a mom referral?
Tony and Leticia caught me up on my returns for recent years and have also assisted me through three Offer in Compromise submissions in recent years for a tax liability of close to $15k from 2001.
Just over a month ago they ACCEPTED my latest O.I.C. and I am settling my entire tax liability on terms I specified for just under $2.5k!!! Thank you Tony and Leticia for all your hard work and sticking with me for so many years to help put this burden behind me once and for all!
The office is a great space, the vibe is comfortable, stress free, and parking is easy. They are on top of their game, have a professional yet personal attitude, and they are on my side. I definitely recommend Tax Plus LA, on Venice Bl. -

I have been going to Tony for a couple of years now. I found him through yelp years back and I have been telling all my friends about him when asked for an accountant. He is great and his rate is very reasonable. In addition, he is very responsive if you have any questions via emails.. I strongly recommend Tony to anyone who is looking for a great tax person..

Tax Plus is the place to go, without a doubt. I have been acquainted with Tony for some time and should have enlisted his services years ago, yet foolishly continued to do my taxes myself, thinking a cut-and-dry 1040 or, more often, 1040EZ was right for me.
After not filing for three years due to less-than-ideal financial circumstances, I began to fear the mounting debt I imagined I had. BUT, Tony was unfazed by what I thought would be a crisis, he reassured me, and commenced to straightening out my affairs.
I definitely could not and would not have done this myself and I'm glad I finally got it taken care of.
When I get rich, I'll go to Tax Plus for financial wisdomz. Until then, this is where I go to get my taxes done. -

This is the first year my husband and I didn't use the box tax man (Turbo Tax, etc), and we feel so fortunate to find this place! Tony helped us out with our more-complex-than-usual taxes, what with the new house we bought last year, our new marriage, etc. He made an appointment for us to see him the day after we called. He was personable and professional, and assured us he is around all year to answer any questions we had. He even helped us figure out what we should put down for our deductions at work so we could balance our tax return better next year.
We almost went to H&R Block but are so fortunate to have found this place- can't say enough good things about this establishment!! -

Though I had an appointment with Tony, he was still busy with a couple he was helping .. no problem, because Leticia had time between appointments. She was very patient as I laid out the sources of income for last year - mine wan't the most straightforward of situations.. and it involved unemployment for some of it, and contracting for others. She helped me see some deductions that I might have missed, and was a pleasure to work with. I will be going back next year to Tax Plus.

Had an issue with some taxes from multiple years. The whole thing was very stressful and I was very lucky to find Tax Plus. Tony did an exceptional job of helping me out of a dire situation that I put myself in very little time. The whole experience with Tony was very professional. He was able to reduce my liability from +50k down to 10k in less than 3 business days. I will be using Tax Plus for all my future tax needs as well as utilizing Tony as a financial adviser. I highly recommend Tax Plus and its services.

Thanks to Paul for his recommendation of Tax Plus, which I followed and I was very pleased. Tony and his sister Marylou were both fantastic to work with and did the best job I could have hoped for. They have friendly personalities and they worked very quickly, even during the busy tax season. I would recommend them to anyone who is willing to pay a couple hundred dollars to make this painful chore significantly less dreadful.

After receiving an ominous letter from the IRS I decided it was best to enlist the help of a tax professional / enrolled agent. I ride my bike past Tax Plus everyday on the way to work and checked them out on Yelp. After reading everyone's rave reviews I decided to give them a call. Leticia was able to see me that day and completed my first bit of work by the next day. I was so happy with the results I went back and re-filed several years tax returns and ended up saving over $10k. I cannot say enough about Leticia and Tony. I plan on using them for all my future accounting / tax work and highly recommend them.

FANTASTIC Place. Soo much better than going to H&R Block. Every year we used to use H&R Block and every year by the next tax season we would get a letter stating that the previous preparer "chose to pursue other career options." That's because they aren't true accountants..! They are just regular people who sign up to work there for 1 or 2 seasons and then disappear on you..
Plus, this year we bought a house and needed to make sure our tax credit was handled properly and quickly..! So we found this place (thanks again Yelp..!) and called right away. We were hoping to get our taxes done yesterday but didn't think it was going to happen. It was 3:30 and we had to be somewhere at 6:30. Well they were able to squeeze us in for 4:30 and didn't even seem annoyed or upset when traffic made us 30 minutes late. We had to wait for a previous appointment to complete (barely 10 minutes) while the assistant in the front office gathered our paperwork up for Tony and made some copies. Tony was SUPER nice and very knowledgeable about everything. He gave us some great advice on itemizing next year. He answered all of our questions and seemed genuinely friendly and interested in his clients and their lives. It was seriously the most stress-free, easiest and quickest tax session I've ever had. (At H&R Block I would have to research beforehand and then explain to THEM what to do with my charity donations and school tuition receipts..!) But not this place..! And 1 hour after arriving we were done..! Until next year =)
Great office - really interesting magazines in the front (like for graphic designers or something - filled with funny and interesting magazine ads), very personable staff, coffee & water station for clients, great decor and just overall a very good experience..! =) -

I am so happy that I found this place. I was looking on Yelp for a new tax guy and stumbled upon Tony Navarro and Tax Plus. I could not be more pleased with the service and the easy going nature of the office. Professional, yet it felt like a friend was helping me instead of just some random person I don't know. Tony went above and beyond and took the time to explain everything to me. I will definitely use him from here on out for all of my tax stuff.

Recommend this place highly. Like all the other reviews Tony has been great. Met with us initially to find out our income sources and explained very clearly how we could best minimize our taxes. Taxes have never been so easy! He even met with us a second time on a saturday during his lunch hr to go over our taxes in depth!

The office is beautiful, the staff are incredibly friendly, the price is right, I feel confident that my taxes are done correctly and filed on time! If you're looking for a painless way to get your taxes done, then go see Tony!
