Sensiba San Filippo LLP is pretty easy to work with. They understand what they do. I'm a consultant myself, and when my clients have audit needs, I give them a call first. They do...

All reviews seem positive

It's how you get through it that matters. 9/12/2012

They worked through our audit and provided excellent value. Reviews can typically be difficult, because it's how you manage to get through them that matters. If, when it's all over, you're still willing to talk to them, I'd say they did a really good job. If you end up dreading the experience, then you didn't do a very good job. We have gone out out of our way to engage in more work, different from the original assignment, with Sensiba San Filippo because we thought they did such a good job. Walter T. Harrower more

Highly recommended. 9/5/2012

This was my first time using Lourdes from Sensiba San Filippo. I had used the same accountant for 20+ years prior, and after 20+ years, being able to find someone that actually does my taxes the way I felt like they should have been done, finds errors from before and corrects those errors going forward makes me feel great as a customer and a client.

Smooth and predictable process. 8/28/2012

I have only been a client with Sensiba San Filippo for the one return I filed last year, and prior, I was with W.H. Mayer for, I don't know, a million years. They merged recently, and I am not sure if they have the same staff there, but we still have the same tax preparer that we used to have. We have a complicated return, and recently we talked to an EA but no CPAs or tax experts just yet. Our EA has been there forever, and previously, there was a CPA that worked with us on a complicated return involving patents. That involved a lot of meetings, and now that everything is set and we know their business, we send everything electronically. We only have to discuss things with when when we have a new contact or client to submit to them, since I do most of our accounting myself and they sort through it. The process works smoothly and it's predictable, which I like as a client. They get to know you, and we don't have to discuss too much. I look over their work when I get it and see what they have used and charged because I understand returns, but I don't have the patience to file them myself. I'm very happy with them and happy about the Sensiba merger. It doesn't bother me as long as the service is the same. James and Maria Lena McGill more

Highly professional, competent, and just great people with whom to do business. 8/13/2012

We have been with Sensiba San Filippo for about 18 years, and every step along the way, they have positioned us with good advice, guidance, and the right protocols needed to move forward. The people in their tax department, like Claudia, are great assets to the company, who pay attention to details and keep us in a position to remain compliant with the government. Joe Haggarty more

A very good experience. 8/10/2012

I have had a very good experience with Sensiba San Filippo. We have been with them for quite some time; I want to say maybe 15 years. They are always very responsive and professional. They do our year-end financial reviews and assist us with financial accounting questions we have. They also do our annual tax returns and consult with us during any special situations. Jo M. Dealey, Renton and Associates more

Excellent service, accessibility, and overall quality of work. 8/8/2012

We have a lot of cases here in the Alameda County Office of Public Administration and Public Guardian. On top of the normal clients Sensiba San Filippo represents, they maintain a high level of quality service for our clients. They are considerate with our many cases and always available by phone or email. They make a point to come out once a month and go over the cases, gathering any information that they might need. It has been a real joy to work with them. I have worked with several others in the past but have never had the same level of service that we have now. Emily Galimba more

Whether the problem is large or small they will respond quickly. 6/4/2010

We bought our company 20 years ago and knew one of the partners at Sensiba San Filippo, so we started using them. We have been very pleased with them and would not think to change. They really accommodate all our needs, both small and large, in a quick time frame so that our stress decompresses. At this point we have worked with multiple people within Sensiba San Filippo, and they have all been very professional. They get everything done as quickly as possible, without milking it out. Right now Jennifer comes about once a month to help me, and she knocks out what I need in no time at all. She helps with data entry, Excel, and anything else I might need. It is a real good company. Anytime I have a problem they have someone who can help me. Large or small problems, anytime we call them the response is right there, or they will send us to a source that can help. Sensiba San Filippo is a very professional company. Laura Agresti Cocconi Electric more

Easy to work with and straightforward. 9/15/2009

Sensiba San Filippo does the annual review for 2 of our companies. They were initially referred to us by an outside consultant and we have been using them since 1992. I would recommend Sensiba San Filippo because they are easy to work with and straightforward. We have continued to use them because, at the end of the day, they produce good quality work.

Quality, Integrity and Accessibility. 9/3/2009

I have been very pleased with Sensiba San Filippo. I originally started using them 15 years ago because I was familiar with one of the partners and it was an opportunity for us to put our work out to bid. They have great knowledge of the rules pertaining to tax and financial statements and yet they have a sense of applying only what is necessary, not overdoing it. They do our annual financial statement audit, our 401K-plan audit and our RIN audit, as well as all of our income taxes. I continue to use Sensiba San Filippo because of their integrity, the quality of their work, and their accessibility. I can pick up the phone and get an answer from them. They are required to do a lot more work than is necessary, which is the only reason I give them a 4-star rating for value. I highly recommend Sensiba San Filippo.

Top notch. 4/29/2009

We initially decided to use Sensiba San Filippo because we knew their soon-to-be partner, who was going to be handling our account. We were very happy with them, but our banking relationship required us to go to another firm. Once that banking relationship ended, we went back to Sensiba San Filippo. Sensiba San Filippo meets all of our needs well. They work with us on schedule and they keep their fees under control. They are very efficient and professional. They work well with middle-market companies. Their staff also seems very stable. Overall, I highly recommend Sensiba San Filippo. Barry Needleman more

Always helpful and attentive. Quick responses. Thorough. Great to work with. 2/23/2009

Sensiba San Filippo was already established as Modutek's accountants when I started working for Modutek in 1998. However, each year, Sensiba San Filippo is nominated and re-elected by our shareholders to handle the year-end financials and tax returns. I am always the first to elect them. The decision has always been unanimous. We have worked with different people at Sensiba San Filippo over the years but the experience consistently has been great. The transition to working with someone new within the firm has always been seamless. I do my best to prepare for them at the end of every year and I know they appreciate that. I feel no apprehension in contacting them about anything. They always handle the little, interim questions quickly, without nickel-and-diming me. Sensiba San Filippo is a great resource. Give them a try. J Turley Director of Finance and Administration Modutek Corp more

Professional expertise. Strategic planning. Open communication. Strong partnership. 1/27/2009

We decided to use Sensiba San Filippo because of their expertise and the partners involved. We had had discussions with other firms, but Sensiba San Filippo seemed to understand our business the best. They also had a straightforward presentation; there was no slick sales pitch or false facades. We have been extremely impressed with Sensiba San Filippo. They have helped us with auditing and tax return information as well as strategic planning and partnering. They have highlighted areas for improvement and review, and helped us with upcoming changes and laws. They have a proactive, over-the-horizon approach that has helped us prepare for tomorrow. We highly recommend Sensiba San Filippo. They are an extremely professional firm -- straightforward and also a lot of fun to work with.
