Working with Ratafia & Company could not be easier.  I have happily been a client over the past 5 years and the turn-around time for my taxes has been excellent. The communications and instructions are great. The office has been very good about providing reminders to submit information, giving updates as to the status of the process and instructing me what to do with the return once it has been completed. I am habitually late in providing my information, but Ratafia and its crew has been remarkable in preparing the tax returns quickly and without complaint.   I have tremendous confidence in the firm and its expertise with my specific tax matters.

  Ease of tax preparation process was A++.  Ratafia & Co is very organized and all communications are very clear, and concise which makes the experience painless.

Everyone I've dealt with is readily available to answer any questions I have and have often gone out of their way to ensure things were taken care of on time.  These feelings will keep me coming back year after year.

  INCREDIBLE! ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE FIRM AND SYSTEM!   You are the best accountants we have ever worked with and we have complete and utter confidence in your team.  That’s why we’ve been with you for over 10 years.  As far as we are concerned, you couldn’t do anything better.

  Excellent! Excellent! Quick! Accurate! Professional! and patient with a novice like me.

Very clear communications, even I could understand.  Excellent availability is one of the main reasons for my very high regard for Ratafia. They provide quick and understandable answers with alternatives where appropriate.

  --James F. Reider

  The fact that I have been a client of Ratafia & Company for almost 15 years should speak volumes.  My taxes are finished in 2 to 4 days, even 2 weeks before April 15th - great !  All communication is clear and professional.  The trust factor is very high; they give me great comfort with my finances and tax matters.

  --Joshua Cohen

  I am happy to have access to a great CPA firm not only during tax time, but throughout the year. For the past 10 years your services have been excellent.

  --Dylan Kiner

  Turn around time is super quick like it has been over the past 7 years.  It was great to receive the checklist you distribute which is easy to follow and is essential for us to gather all the paperwork needed.  This year our taxes were over 100 pages, scary! Nonetheless everything was explained simply and professionally and we felt at ease.  Also, there is always someone available on the Ratafia team to provide good solid advice throughout the year...even on the most unimportant questions.

  --Raphael & Paulina Bemporad

  For the past 13 years, Ratafia & Co has consistently done a professional, ethical and expert job for us each instance we have needed them, and we indeed have needed them. Immediate access, no delays, clear, straight forward and organized – provides peace of mind.

  I like the way they work.  Their instructions are always clear to follow.  For the past 12 years, Ratafia & Co has always maintained a professional approach with rapid turn around time for taxes and questions. I have strong confidence and trustworthiness in the Ratafia firm. I never had a problem with my taxes. I have been well taken care, better from other tax company I had worked with.

  --Ana Jouvin

  I've had nothing but good experiences over the past few years. I've been pretty amazed at the personal attention I've received from every member of the staff I've communicated with. The turnaround time is amazing. I can't imagine how it could be easier!  I filed my paperwork later than usual this year because of a mix-up with my mortgage interest statement and I still got my returns in plenty of time to mail my payment. The checklist that you send is incredibly helpful and I always use it to make sure I'm sending everything needed to ensure a complete return. The instructions for filing were very clear and easy to follow, which is enormously helpful when working at a hectic job like I do. I have absolute confidence in your expertise and have recommended your firm to several colleagues and friends.

  --James Tipton

  I love working with you guys; I can't imagine anything better.

  I have a lot of confidence that Ratafia is doing everything they can to help me file an accurate return and based on comparisons with other tax preparers they were able to help me obtain a larger refund.

  --Dan Menitoff

  I am a new client this year.  Working with Ratafia & Company was quick, painless, and efficient. Everyone was very easy to contact, easy to speak with, informative and patient.  Anytime I needed help, or had a question(s) there was almost no waiting time, which was extremely impressive seeing I am in Florida and they are in the New York. I was very satisfied, in fact recommendations they made to me have had an immediate impact on my taxes and finances. 

  --Amber J. Hughes

  I come back every year because I am confident that the job is professionally done. My taxes are involved and I need peace of mind. The firm has always been available to me to answer any questions I have had.  This year they were particularly helpful in giving a second opinion on my mother-in law's estate, at no charge, which was very gracious at a time when we were experiencing great stress.

  --Jack Wheaton

  When I moved to Los Angeles from New York, I had to find a new doctor, a new dentist and a new lawyer.  One association I refused to leave behind was the one I've formed with Ratafia & Co, CPAs.  Over the years, they've provided me with sound and effective advice, and have put me at ease when preparing my taxes.  I've found the company to be professional, honest, efficient, and pleasant.  I highly recommend their services to anyone who wants to work with real experts.

 --Sarah O'Leary

  Years ago, when I first came to Ratafia & Company I was concerned about a lien that had been placed on my salary by the IRS. The advice and assistance I received was on point and demonstrated a high level of expertise with respect to my specific tax situation. The successful resolution of my situation gave me great confidence in your firm, and that feeling remains unchanged all these years later.

  --Richard Spooner

  Having worked with Ratafia & Co during the past few years, I find their advice and services to be invaluable.  In particular, the personal attention and intelligence to my complicated picture at a cost effective price.  I've worked with other tax specialists and financial consultants in the past, and found they were not willing or able to "roll up their sleeves" and provide specific guidance. Ratafia & Company has been able to listen carefully, understand my goals, and give clear advice to satisfy my immediate needs, with flexible options for the future.  I'm very happy we met.
