About
I am a New Jersey based CPA (Certified Public Accountant) with 25 years of experience and currently accepting clients ONLINE only. I am new to Thumbtack, but not new to income tax preparation. My fees are very low, so I can't give free advice before you retain me. Your discretion is appreciated to contact me only if you use my services.
New technology of income tax preparation, of let your fingers do the walking has made life easier for clients willing to use the secure method of uploading tax documents. My current 600 clients use this methodology every year. For the old school people, sending photocopies of documents via certified mail is also an option.
I have helped clients working at Walmart, to Wall Street bankers, to self-employed business owners, to large businesses with multi-million dollar transactions.
I have helped clients file multiple year back taxes to resolve IRS and State tax audits and inquiries. My charges are very reasonable compared to TurboTax or others here on ThumbTack. I am proud to say that I have more than 600 satisfied repeat clients, and I have the capacity to serve more every year.
My main objective is to help you maximize your refund or reduce your tax liability with my expertise in this area. I bring value to your bottom line and will make you feel that you have gotten your money's worth. My business grows from word of mouth, and I like to do a thorough job with satisfaction guaranteed.
Since COVID, a lot of people prefer to get their taxes done remotely from the comfort of their homes, and I am technically and IRS-compliant when it comes to safeguarding my clients' private information. I have a secure server that my clients can upload their documents with the highest level of encryption that has never been compromised. Plus, as a CPA in business for 25 years, I have never experienced a breach due to my ability to safeguard your private information.

I was in need of a new accountant for my tax filing. Due to sensitive information, I was obviously nervous and cautious. However Raza made me feel safe from the moment I reached out to him. He was very professional and very detailed-oriented since day one. I felt I was in good hands. Thank God all worked out great. I highly recommend him for your accounting needs! (Thank you, Raza!)

I really cannot say enough about the level of professionalism and overall service that I received from Ace Accounting! I needed my joint taxes filed very quickly…it was a RUSH job for both tax and immigration purposes. Ace Accounting did the job in under 24 hours! This level of service is unreal in my opinion. In addition, this LLC offers clients identity theft security and fraud protection up to $1M! Yes that’s right $1M. Did I mention that they are IRS certified professional tax preparers and CPA qualified? Also their pricing is a bargain and I expect them to raise prices next tax season. If you are looking for very professional and efficient tax accounting services from a trusted source then look no further!!

Extremely grounded individual who speaks from real life experience and not just from behind the desk book knowledge. Highly recommend if you need someone who listens well before making suggestions.

Ace accounting was the easiest tax experience I’ve ever had. I would strongly reccomend.
Ace Accounting Associates CPA's reply
Thank you for acknowledging that working with me on your income tax filing was an easy experience, even from thousands of miles away. I have always strived to do the best for my clients for 25 years, and was surprised when someone, earlier, without even speaking with me, left a negative review for me. Maybe because my fees are lower than others, someone launched a smear campaign to ruin my reputation here.

I had a problem with the IRS for not filing taxes for multiple years and someone recommended him to me. He helped me out in not only filing back taxes but also reducing the huge penalties that were accrued from the past. I have been using him since then and am very happy with his services.
FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is already discounted based on industry averages and the competition in this area. I have a basic minimum charge for simple returns, and most times I zero out the fee for the client because when the final product is ready, the benefit is more than the fee.
Most of the time, people ask a simple question, "hey how much will be charge to do my taxes?" The question is simple, but the answer is complicated because, without seeing the prior year's taxes or knowing how much work is involved this year, it is hard to assess what should be a fair fee.
I don't play mind games or use bait and switch tactics to get business. My formula is simple: you tell me what is involved, and I will quote you an honest price, most times less than the competition.
You will always get your money's worth and value by coming to a professional CPA like me. I use all the deductions legally available to a taxpayer.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
New customers can scan, email, fax, or upload their documents to my secure portal for privacy and safety. Mailing is also an option, but it may delay the turnaround time by a few more days.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a university graduate with graduate-level knowledge and a CPA License with 25 years of practical experience in filing, saving, and resolving IRS and State Income Tax compliance and issue resolution.
