I am also disheartened to read the following reviews regarding Rick Birnbaum, CPA. I was looking up Rick's office number on google, when the following reviews came up. I generally do not believe in corresponding on the internet in this type of manner. Rick Birnbaum has been doing my taxes for 8 years, and he is a wonderful, professional, timely, and conscientious CPA. Rick only inputs the write-offs, receipts, or instructions I provide to him. It is the tax payer/filer's responsibility to make sure their tax return is correct, before filing it with the IRS or FTB. The tax return states you are signing under the Penalty of Perjury. Therefore, if you are dumb enough to perjure yourself, then you need to take full responsibility of the consequences, and not blame others; i.e. your CPA. Rick's Office Manager is terrifc! On a side note, as a hiring manager, it is hard to find good help these days. Shame on those that have nothing better to do than write trash on the internet.
