Gillingham CPA - San Francisco, California

Josh Berger

As a start-up cofounder, my taxes have been anything but straightforward. Enter John and his team who delved way into my tax situation with very little information to go on. Constantly needing to make assumptions, checking with me on the most important things, and solving problems on his own enabled me to focus on my bigger issues. Time after time, John consistently delivered on all his promises and provided the highest quality service for a fair price. Not only that, he's a cool guy with a great sense of humor, and knows how to treat his clients. Considering all the messes he's gotten me out of, I'll consider myself a repeat customer for years to come. Go with Gillingham.

I've been working with John & team for two years and am very happy! As a small business owner, John has helped advise on the best way to structure my company, when to consider changing structures etc for tax optimization. He is easy to talk with and answers all questions clearly. His team does all the heavy lifting and keeps you up to date on progress as they prepare filings etc. I've had several accounting services over the years and switched to John after one left me in the lurch right before an annual filing deadline. The Gillingham team expedited my process and get everything taken care of, saving me from a bunch of fees. Have been with them since and would recommend them to other small businesses, sole proprietors etc.

I've been working with John for 3 years now for both proactive tax planning and tax preparation/filing, and it's been a pleasure every year. John is very knowledgable and has a team that is organized and efficient. My wife and I have a somewhat complex tax situation with stock based compensation of multiple varieties as well as a small sole prop business. John has helped us navigate this and optimize our taxes and even consult on things like proactive retirement planning. His services are worth every penny, and filings get easier and more efficient every year once you start planning proactively with him. Highly recommended!

Have been working with John and his team for around 4 years now. From handling all my business taxes when I started my own venture to helping me with my personal tax complications that come up, John and his team have always come in clutch. Reliable, trustworthy, efficient, very communicative and also a chill dude. Would highly recommend.

I've been working with John and team for a couple years now, and it's been seamless, quick and effective each year. Our first project was an extremely complicated set of amendments that took ~1 year to complete. Throughout the process, John was very clear with requirements, next steps, setting up check-ins, and keeping me in the loop on what was happening. Since then, with his proactive planning help, taxes have been a breeze.

John and his team are the best!

I sold tech stock and needed help with my taxes. John is always available to jump on a call with you. He explained all the basics to me, patiently and in an easily-digestible way. He and his team are super organized, worth the peace of mind, and FUN to work with!

Would highly recommend!
