As a business owner, I have engaged Akopyan & Co. for my business and personal tax needs. They have my highest recommendation, and here's why... (1) Professionalism: The firm is run by pros who value your time as a client. Their contemporary technology and processes reflect this, as does the staff, who manage to be both courteous and extremely efficient. (2) Expertise: Above all else, Mr. Akopyan is a seasoned pro who brings a wealth of experience and diligence to the firm's service offering.

Yuriy and the team at Akopyan & Co are the best. They are professional and knowledgeable, while at the same time friendly and helpful. They developed an accounting package that fits my business. I am confident in Yuriy's tax advice and know that I am getting the maximum tax benefits while staying in compliance.

We were referred to this company by some colleagues and the whole process was disjointed and lacked communication. Didn't hear for weeks at a time about anything. Their CPA who they put on our taxes refused to do basic functions such as cc both of us on emails, and there were numerous mistakes we had to comb over in our final taxes. Pricing was not transparent and final price was several hundred dollars more than initial quote. Then, we sent them check for payment AND THEY LOST IT. I would not recommend them for your taxes, they are disorganized.

I've been using Yuriy Akopyan as my CPA for a little over a year now and I couldn't be more pleased. They are efficient, so easy to work with, and take a major headache out of my business. I'm not a bookkeeper or accountant, so to be able to delegate that to them and know it is being handled properly is a huge weight off my chest. So appreciative!

I've been working with Akopyan and Co. for the past few years, and have had a great experience. The staff is knowledgable and very kind--it's always my worst nightmare to be made to feel like I've been doing everything wrong, but that's never been my experience with this group. Highly recommend!
