Kirk Kimball, Los Angeles, says,

“James and his staff were terrific and exceeded my expectations.

Reasons James and his staff are received such a favorable rating are as follows:

1. He actually returned my phone call from my initial contact with James’ office. That may not sound like a big deal to some, but I was not one of James clients at the time.

2. Professionalism… Once my taxes were complete, James reviewed them with me. His ability to educate me on how to handle my expense transaction and paperwork were refreshing. After my experience, I actually was looking forward to implementing James’ cataloging system.

3. KNOWLEDGE. Very difficult to understand, unless you experience for yourself. While reviewing my taxes it was only then, I realized what I had been missing in an accountant. James is not an ordinary accountant that can recite IRS rules and regulations, but he actually understands them and applies them. In simple terms, I felt as though I had the IRS, a tax attorney and an Accountant at once. I feel like I cannot put into words James’ knowledge of the tax code and actually making it work for you. I entered into James’ office with a mess of paperwork and left with a complete tax plan.

4. From my initial visit, James provided the date and time my taxes would be completed. I left his office thinking he was incorrect. To my disbelief I received a phone call from James personally on the date and time he provided on my initial visit to notify me my taxes were complete. Old school business (he actually does what he says.. great concept!)

5. Money… I went into James’ office thinking this is going to cost me a bundle of money for hiring a widely-respected accountant such as James. In reality, James’ ability to know tax structure actually saved me more money on my taxes than I could have imagined. In simple terms…, I felt like I was undercharged for his service.

6. STAFF… James’ office staff was not just a staff of part-time workers shuffling papers. They were a qualified group of highly-educated professionals. They knew every portion of my tax information without having to stop to look at my life. I felt as though this was an army of tax assassins in a mission.

In closing, James is the only accountant I trust from now on. Trust is something that was not my objective by hiring James, but became the cornerstone of my professional relationship with him. You will not be disappointed in James.”

Barbara Zambia, Los Angeles, CA, says,

“Great!! I am a client now… Thanks.
They did my 2016 taxes and filed late election paperwork with reasonable cause statement for my S Corp status, which I thought that everything was done right but not done properly by prior CPA when I changed from a DBA to Corporation. They updated the Minutes for my corporation to keep me in compliance with California laws.

They filed my personal 2016 taxes as well. James and Janice reviewed my 2015 Taxes per my request. I like their services so well so I hired them to keep my business on tract bookkeeping and payroll up to date. They cleaned up, and organized my mess, and I was amazed! I am truly relieved, it’s a load off my mind, now I can focus on making money.

I would recommend their company to my friends, and strangers in a heartbeat. Mr. James Cha and staff are very professional, and nice people, they really really know what they are doing.”

Ian C., Los Angeles, CA, says,

“Mr. Cha and his whole staff were all so gentle and polite. The vibe in the office was very professional and he took his time and answered all our questions completely and with straight to the point knowledge. A very swift, reliable and pleasant experience at his office with a wonderful view of Hollywood. I feel this will be the beginning of a great long term partnership with Mr. James Cha and his very kind associates.”

Sheree Bankler, East Los Angeles, says,

“He does what he says. He is a quick responder. You have any questions, he will get back with you within 10 min. Mr. Cha is very thorough. When I picked up my tax returns, he spends the time to explain them to you. He pays attention to detail and returned my taxes to me in a timely manner. His staff is very professional as well. Thank you Mr. Cha.”

Jimmy Rodriguez, Los Angeles, says,

“Being fairly new to the self-employment world and also a new property owner, I decided to enlist the help of James M. Cha, CPA & Company to prepare my seemingly complicated tax return. I came in with receipts that I tried to organize, and they found a way to make sense of it all. Mr. Cha and his team are highly professional, honest, and competent in their work, which made for a FANTASTIC experience. I highly recommend James Cha, CPA & Associates, and will definitely return next year.

*as a side note, Mr. Cha informed me of the benefits of forming a S-Corp, which I had already been thinking about; and if and when I do decide to incorporate, I’ll definitely be enlisting his services. I will have a follow-up review when that time comes. But for now, my taxes are complete, I’m happy, and ready to face another year head-on.”

He has superb talents in coming up with tax-saving ideas and plans.

“Awesome professional service. I would like to recommend his CPA services with professionalism to anyone who looks for excellency.

CPA의 생명은 프로정신이라고 사려됩니다.
정확히 그리고 나에게 꼭 필요한 맞춤서비스로 항상 도움을 받았습니다.
특히 회사 회계업무로 힘들었던 궁금했던 일들이 James Cha CPA를 통해서 많은 도움을 받았습니다.”

Hasun Jung, Los Angeles, says –

“처음 세금보고부터 지금까지 제임스차 회계사님을 이용하면서 배운점이 많습니다.
우선 풍부한 경험이 제일로 마음에 드는 부분입니다.
미국 회계법의 경우, 경험없이 하기 힘들고, 지속적으로 업데이트 되는것을 항상 첵킹하지 않으면 놓칠수 있는 부분들이 많기 때문입니다.
타운내 과대홍보를 하면서 비용을 저렴하게 하는곳으로 세금보고를 맡기는것은 그리 좋은 방법이 아니라고 생각합니다. 물론 다 그렇지는 않겠지만 대부분 수임료가 싼곳은 그만한 이유가 있는법입니다.

저같은 경우 해외생활하면서 배운것은 두번일 하지않도록 확실한 곳을 선택합니다. 변호사이던 회계사이던 간에 말입니다. 정당한 비용을 지불하고, 확실하게 일처리를 하는것이 마음이 놓이기때문입니다.

제임스 회계사님의 경우, 저도 소개로 처음 세금보고를 맡겼는데, 나름대로 만족할만한 결과를 얻었습니다. 그리고 세법을 지속적으로 연구하면서 고객분들에게 최선책을 보여주는것이 느껴졌습니다. 특히 회사관리의 경우, 정말 좋은것 같습니다.

세금관련 도움이 필요하신 분의 경우 꼭 상담받기를 추천해 드립니다.”

Son sys0695, Los Angeles, says-

“세금보고를 어느분에게 맡겨야할까 고민을 참 많이 했었는데 Korea Daily웹사이트를통하여 제임스차 회계사님을 접하게 되었어요.
다른 회계사님과는 직접 통화가 참 어렵더라구요~~ 그런데 회계사님과 직접 통화가 이루어지는 시스템이 되어있어서 좋았고, 많은 금액을 절세할수 있게 해주셨어요.

모든분들에게 추천해드리고 싶은 분입니다.”
