Alam Accountancy Corporation, PC

Unfortunately I have to write a very negative review on behalf of my parents. They had been working with the father for a number of years who had been charging between $200-300 each year for tax filings -including last year. This year is the first year that the daughter, Shermin, has taken over the business (after the fathers retirement), and the daughter (now in charge) provided a bill to my parents for $525 this year, now claiming its more work (let me remind you its her first year of tax prep) Understandably my mom was quite frustrated but begrudgingly agreed to do the tax filings with Alam Accountancy. However Shermin then indicated she wouldnt be filing the return and my mom should just drive down and pick up the papers- now at the end of March (which my mom did). Now my mothers found a more reasonable and professional tax professional that she will be using from now on. I would recommend anyone looking for an affordable, experienced, drama-free accountant to look elsewhere than this business. It really sounds like this business will suffer under the rash management of the new proprietor.

ALAM Accountancy-A well respected CPA firm we have been with for 30 plus years and under the leadership of Mr.Alam his daughter (Shermin) has accumulated knowledge and experience. The Staffs there are very cordial as well as Shermin herself very reasonable towards understanding and offering guidance to services and are very prompt.

My family and I have taken our annual taxes and other related business to the Alam family (first to Mr. Khorshed Alam and now to his daughter Ms. Shermin Alam) for nearly 30 years. They are kind, respectful, professional, empathetic, diligent accountants that get the necessary work done in a timely, thoughtful manner. I appreciate their responsiveness, creativity and acumen- they always return calls and emails, have filed our taxes on time year after year and have helped me maximize my refund time and time again. They're quite affordable, too. I highly recommend their services.

Unfortunately I have to write a very negative review on behalf of my parents. They had been working with the previous proprietor (father) for a number of years who had been charging between $200-300 each year for tax filings -including last year. This year is the first year that the daughter, Shermin, has taken over the business (after the father's retirement), and she (now in charge) provided a bill to my parents for $525 this year, claiming it's "more work". Which is difficult to believe considering their situation hasn't changed much.Understandably my mom was quite frustrated by this surprise but begrudgingly still agreed to do the tax filings with Alam Accountancy. However Shermin then indicated she wouldn't be filing the return and my mom should just drive down and pick up the papers from their San Jose location - at the end of March (which my mom did). Now my mother's found a more reasonable and professional tax professional nearby that she will be using from now on. I would recommend anyone looking for an affordable, experienced, drama-free accountant to look elsewhere than this business. It really sounds like this business will suffer under the rash management of the new proprietor.
