I had a fantastic experience working with Donna for my tax preparation this year. From the very beginning, I was impressed by how quickly she responded to my inquiries and how efficiently she completed my return. What really sets Donna apart is her approach to financial planning. She was incredibly considerate and thoughtful with her recommendations, taking the time to understand my long-term financial goals rather than just crunching numbers. I especially appreciated her thoroughness in following up; she made sure every single one of my questions was answered before we finalized everything. She also took the time to review my previous years tax return and identified a pocket of savings I had missed preparing them on my own! If you’re looking for a CPA who is professional, responsive, and truly cares about your financial well-being, I highly recommend Donna and her office 💖

I reached out to Donna's office cold, looking for a referral to a trust litigation attorney for an active probate matter in Orange County. They didn't have to help me at all — I wasn't even a client. Scott was responsive, clearly knew the space, and went out of his way to point me in the right direction. That kind of generosity says a lot about a firm. When I need a CPA for my litigation, they will be my first call. Highly recommend.

Donna Stern has been absolutely wonderful to work with. For personal taxes, she is organized and answers all questions timely and clearly. For my business - she has gone above and beyond and shared tips and information with me that has made managing my books significantly easier. She has definitely made my life much less stressful overall.

Donna and Scott are excellent. As a probate, estate planning, and trust administration attorney, I work closely with Donna, Scott, and their team on trust and estate tax matters. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. Their strong reputation in this area is well earned, and they consistently meet the expectations of my clients and me.

I’m a local CPA with EA Tax Resolutions and don’t handle trust tax returns, so I’ve been referring clients to Donna for the past year. She’s been wonderful to work with, and my clients consistently share positive feedback about her professionalism and expertise. Thank you, Donna, for taking such great care of my clients and making the referral process seamless.
