Alan is a terrific accountant and an exceptional tax advisor. I am very pleased with his professionalism and the service he provides. He always answers my questions quickly and goes above and beyond to make sure I am doing what is most advantageous for my situation. Whether it's savings the most on taxes, or making sure I am staying out of trouble, Alan always has my best interest in mind.If you are looking for a new accountant or not happy with your current one, I highly recommend Alan.
Hamed G.
Alan has done my business and personal tax returns for a few years. I switched to Alan's firm when I decided to change my previous CPA because I had received an extra demand from IRS due to a tax return that they had filed. Alan contacted IRS and besides wiping out that claim, he got a noticeable refund back for me from IRS. I am very satisfied with his entire staff.
Shawn H.
Alan is truly great at what he does. He offers very sound business and tax advice.He is immediately super friendly and he takes the time to listen to his clients. I have had some tough tax situations but he took me on as a client regardless and turned my situation around.He is interested in building long term relationships with his clients, and will work toknow your business which enables him to help you more effectively. I really could not have imagined finding a better CPA. His 5 star reviews don't do him justice.

Filing taxes is not one of my favorite things to do, but luckily Alan and Herber made this process the best experience I have had. They helped my husband...

I’ve been working with Alan’s firm for several years now and I can’t say enough great things about them. They have a great team with excellent communication and really friendly service. I trust their work and highly recommend them for taxes, bookkeeping, and all other accounting services.
Rodney W.
Alan is a bona fide tax professional. After a handful of years of going to my old, stuffy, extremely old school CPA, I knew I needed a change. Alan's reviews speak for themselves so I decided to give him a chance last year for the first time and can confidently say I've found my new accountant!! There is such a stark contrast between my old Accountant and Alan. Besides being intelligent, working swiftly to get problems resolved, and being a subject matter expert, what I was most impressed with was the communication. Even during busy season, Alan made me feel like a priority and dedicated as much time as needed to get both my personal as well as Corp taxes done, and done right. Give Alan a chance, you will not be disappointed.
Daniel A.
Year after year, Alan does an excellent job on my taxes. His accounting office is so professional and kind. I am so thankful he offers a variety of services that I benefit from ie, financial planning/counseling, business advice and taking care of my taxes.Alan's knowledge, expertise, and desire to help his clients are what makes him a great CPA. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs tax, audit, bookkeeping or any other accounting services. Thank you Alan!
Maryam P.
Last year a friend referred me to her accountant but I didn't feel comfortable working with him, so this year I decided to search somebody on my own. I found Mehdiani Financial Management through Google and I decided to give it a try based on the reviews on yelp. Herber is an amazing professional and he helped me clear every doubt I have. When it comes to filed for return taxes I always get confused and I need guidance and somebody to explain to me in detail what am I signing, and Herber was this person. I also worked with Christian Alvarez and he explained it to me in Spanish again just to make sure I understood everything (Spanish is my first language). I trust them completely with my documents and they went over everything with me, and try to help me get the best out of my return with what I have. I'm definitely going to use them again for next year tax return! HIGHLY recommend their services.

Allen A.
Alan is an incredibly intelligent tax accountant. I have never met someone as well rounded and knowledgeable in business. I went to him initially to incorporate. After meeting with him, he helped me establish a bookkeeping system with QuickBooks that made tracking my income and expenses easy.During tax time, he helped me make sure I got every deduction possible to lower my tax bill. He is extremely patient and spends all the time needed to make sure I am saving as much as possible. I never feel rushed with him.Later I started hiring employees and had no idea how to pay my employees. I called Alan and he got me setup with an organized payroll system. No extra charges for direct deposit either.The best part was, when I called Alan randomly a few weeks later about potentially hiring an independent contractor for a portion of my business, who was here on a work visa, he immediately knew which forms to give me. He is always very accessible and quick with getting back to me.
Allen A.
Highly Recommend! I've been going to Alan for several years now, and I'm extremely happy with his services. He spends his time explaining his knowledge, and not trying to rush me out the door. Very efficient, thorough, Honest and reliable. I will definitely be using Alan in the years ahead!

I've been using Medhiani for a couple of years now. Prior to that, I did my own returns and didn't see a need for a CPA. But when I started doing self employment work in addition to my day job, I didn't have the time to do my own returns anymore. I found Medhiani on Yelp and read the reviews and thought I'd give them a try. Never regretted it. Staff is friendly, professional, responsive, and most of all produce good quality work all for a reasonable affordable cost. I plan to use Mehdiani for other services and financial advice. Thank you to all at Mehdiani for your expertise and hard work!
James S.
I highly recommend Alan Mehdiani and his team. They have always made my tax experiences positive and stress free. Alan has been doing my taxes for about 3 years now. He does a fantastic job of explaining what he is doing and why it is the best route for my business. You can tell Alan loves his profession and definitely puts in the time to listen and take care of business. I have his office handle everything, including my bookkeeping and my payroll. He is trustworthy and professional.

I recently started a business and needed guidance. I had been told to form an LLC or Corporation, but had no idea which one to choose. I knew I needed to file taxes, but had no idea when the due dates were or what I needed to do to file them. I needed help pronto!After reading all of Alan's great Yelp reviews from both his Beverly Hills and Encino office locations, I gave him a call. I immediately felt relieved. Alan patiently explained the difference between Corporations and LLCs. I learned there is more than one type of corporation and Alan helped me understand why one is better than the other for my situation and helped me set it up.We talked about the tax requirements of being a business owner and the due dates for the filings. I learned that I was already behind on issuing 1099s to my independent contracts, so Alan put the petal to the metal and got that process rolling for me immediately. Very quick turn around time and very clear communication the entire time.Alan is a lot more than a tax accountant. He is a great business advisor and I would even say has become my business coach. With Alan and his associates, you can expect high quality work and high quality results. I didn't go to H&R Block because I wanted a true professional and that's exactly what I got.You've heard the saying "You get what you pay for", well with Alan you get A LOT more than what you pay for. He's worth every penny and more! Thanks Alan!

Absolutely great service from a great tax accountant. Alan is extremely informative and a pleasure to work with. Whether in person or on the phone, he takes the time to thoroughly answer my questions, simplifying taxes as much as possible. Not only is he exceptionally professional, but he is very personable as well. Not only do I have complete trust and confidence in him with regard to my taxes, but we've had many nice conversations about business and planning strategies, which I've really appreciated.I highly recommend Alan to anyone looking for a new CPA. Not only will you be happy with his services as an accountant, you'll get an invaluable addition to your professional team. Highly recommended!!!

The perfect accounting firm for my small businesses. Everyone that I have worked with at this firm - Herber, Margaret, and Alan - have been patient, responsive, and all around easy to work with. For years, they have been preparing my tax returns (individual, corporations, and LLCs) and handling the bookkeeping for my business and real estate investments. More recently, I had questions about the new tax reform laws. I was glad to see that they were knowledgeable about the new rules and were able to provide me with useful advice and guidance. If you're looking for a new tax firm for your business or personal needs, these guys are it
Hamid B.
Highly professional team. Quick to respond to questions and always gave clear answers. Responsive to our concerns. Tax returns carefully prepared and delivered in a timely manner. We will definitely come back for the next tax year.

Alan & his team are who you want on your side when filing your taxes for your business. They have helped me so much with my first company and have helped guide me to establish other corporations.Phone calls and emails are answered in a nice and timely manner. They have followed up with me multiple times when i forgot to submit something. I dont think my company would be here if Mehdiani and his team were not on my side.If you guys are reading this. Thank you for the last several years of your service and for always caring for me and my company.
Ashkan D.
Alan is superb. I have met with so many CPA's before making a final choice and Alan blew everyone out of the water. He articulates the complicated process of filing my complex taxes so well. He is kind and patient and has saved me so much money. He also gave me several different methods on how to maximize my savings for the upcoming year.I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a CPA.

Amazing cpa. They structured my company's finances like a charm. Could not emphasize any more how great their service is.
Daniel B.
I've been an extremely happy client for over a year now. He gave us a great detailed and thorough consulation about each step we need to take in starting our new business, and was very patient. He handled the entire process and even did some business consulting with us (doesn't hurt to have your CPA be a successful business man as well). He took care of all the registration forms, licenses and followed up to make sure everything was set. He has completely simplified the entire process for me. He is now also handling our book keeping and payroll as well! His great advice in regards to business planning really helped as well.Alan is efficient, DETAIL oriented, patient and a pleasure to work with. I am very happy to have been referred to him. He knows almost anything and everything you would need to keep your business in good standing and it never hurts to save some extra $$ in the process!

Alan and his team of accountants are young, friendly, energetic, and intelligent. They are approachable and easy to talk to. Communication has always been simple and timely. I have given me the attention I need and they have taken the time to explain matters to me clearly. They are more than tax preparers to me and my business -- they are my small business tax experts and consultants. It's a pleasure for me to write this review and I highly recommend them.

Alan is a great CPA and very intelligent tax advisor. He is always available to answer my questions and is a pleasure to speak with. I really didn't know how bad my other accountant was until I started working with Alan.I am a business owner and taxes are a subject that make me nervous, but Alan always makes me feel at ease. He is patient and I never feel rushed working with him. During tax time, he goes through deductions that I may not have included in my QuickBooks to make sure I am getting the maximum deductions possible. It really shows me that he cares when he goes above and beyond. I highly recommend giving him a call.A few tips:1. If you get his voicemail, leave him a message. He always calls me back very quickly.2. Don't hesitate calling him even if you don't know what questions to ask. The first time I called him I had no idea what I needed to do, but he started asking me questions and helped me figure it out.
Ashkan D.
I have been a client of Alan's firm for quite some time now and I have been incredibly happy with their services and professionalism. Alan and his team are thorough and detail oriented. All of my work is always done in a timely manner, even during their busy tax season.Alan has been very aggressive in finding me tax deductions and he's always optimizing my tax liability.Th best part of my experience is how friendly and patient he is. He answers all of my questions in laymen's terms. I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone who is in the market for an incredible CPA.
Maryam P.
We've come to Alan for years now for tax guidance. As a small but growing business it's so important to get our taxes right, and Alan's team has always made themselves available to us to answer any questions, walk us through processes, and show us opportunities we would have missed out on otherwise. It's well worth it to have a quality tax accountant on your side!

Its breath of fresh air to work with someone young, patient, and friendly. Alan is sharp and easy to work with. He asked all the right questions to get me started. He answered all the questions I had as well. He was genuinely a pleasure to work with.I have started a new company, so when I went to Alan, I didn't know exactly where to start. He helped me get organized with my bookkeeping and payroll, and explained to me the tax implications of my business.I felt like Alan understood where I was coming from because he is a business owner himself. We talked about a lot more than just taxes. To me he's a well rounded business advisor as well. Thank you Alan!
