It was a pleasure working with Alexander. I needed his services very quickly as a deadline was approaching. Not only I got the detailed projections but Alexander scheduled a 30 minutes call with screensharing to go through all the details.

I don't care who you are or how much or little money you have. Stop shopping around. This guy is the real deal. I make good money but am terrible at managing it.

I make good money but am terrible at managing it. I was/am so behind in IRS payments bc I'm an independent contractor. I was feeling desperate and seriously concerned the IRS and CA state was going to start garnishing wages. After one phone call with Mr. Efros, I was put at ease. He put together a financial plan for me using complex spreadsheets that he made simple. I wish I could give him ten stars. I am just now implementing his recommendations and putting them into the excel sheet he sent me. I have already noticed a difference. DO NOT LOOK FURTHER THAN THIS MAN. He lifted a HUGE weight off my shoulders. Massive. For the first time I feel that everything will work out financially. Keep in mind that you have to follow his plan for you, but if you do, you can't fail. On another note, he really REALLY seems to care about you - he said he wants to feel like family and he really does. He doesn't shame you, he takes you seriously, he makes an individual plan. He truly is wonderful and truly cares about you as a client. You're not just a number to this guy. I cannot recommend him enough. And he makes himself available to you when you need him. Alex: thank you so much for putting me at ease. I feel like everything is going to be okay now. I actually teared up at the end of our conversation. Again, to those reading this: look no further. I'm serious - he's the real deal. read less

He is great at explaining financial information in language that is easy to understand which is so very important. He answered all our questions. He did not just hand us a pile of papers and leave us to figure it out on our own. He went over every section of the plan with us. Alex was very available during all phases of the engagement. He was clear and up front about all fees. In addition to being a skillful financial planner he is very knowledgeable about taxation. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to have their tax returns done correctly. We have only lived in Los Angeles for a short time and feel extremely lucky to have found someone as intelligent and professional as Alex. read less

The first year you file taxes for your business in California and on a federal level, it seems like everyone is out to get you! It can be incredibly daunting to not only differentiate tax liability, but avoid misfilings, fees, and things you aren't even aware of. That's when I realized a faceless entity like h&r block wouldn't cut it for me. I needed someone personable, reliable, but most importantly have the knowledge tailor-fit to my situation. Not only was Alex super knowledgeable about the details, but he was always there for me. If I had a question or concern, I never felt abandoned through the process. I think it's because he's so organized, since he was always extremely communicative and never let me down. Well-versed in his various specialties, I've never met anyone so sharp and on top of things. Overall, I'd recommend him to anyone and I'll definitely be referring friends. read less
