We really wanted to like Brian. He did a good job for us previously. But if you check Yelp, you will see from others with similar reviews this year, he dropped the ball and left us hanging at tax time. He told us several times he would send his portal link and never did. We were considerate of his time and took him at his word that he would send the link but by the beginning of April it was clear that we needed to cut him loose. Terrible thing to do to your clients. If it weren't for the fact that there was an extension for filing for California residents, we would have had to file for an extension while we found another accountant. We wanted to support a local business but Brian's service failed us.

I had a very positive experience with Brian. He was professional, personable, and very easy to work with. Between his attention to detail and dedication to his work, I felt very confident in his abilities to do the best job possible. In my opinion, he is a superb CPA. Thanks, Brian!

First time customer, and definitely looking forward to working with Brian for the next few years! Brian was incredibly knowledgable, friendly, and professional during our initial consultation. He provided great insight and answered all my questions regarding my business in the film industry and tax planning. Now im looking forward to tax season!! 5/5, highly recommend!

Brian Stoner deserves nothing less then a Five Star rating for several professional reasons. When you first call Brian Stoner CPA, to interview him as I did, you immediately notice Brian is extremely knowledgeable with accounting law for personal and corporate clients, but that he is also willing to share the information with you. He has great communication skills which become more evident as you interview him further. Brian is refreshing from other CPAs who may be knowledgeable, but have no personality. They do very little talking as if they do not want to give their accounting information away. They only ask you questions like a detective. Whereas Brian Stoner is an educational CPA truly interested in the best interests for his clients, including educating them. I have been very excited about having Brian Stoner on my Corporate Team and have witnessed how he has made a difference in my C type corporation. He maintains a business compentcy which is evident by the awards he has received for his talent. Brian continues to stimulate my accounting knowledge year after year and improve my bottom line. I definitely rate Brian Stoner with Five Stars. Joe Petrillo

I came to Brian after my prior CPA had mis-handled my last set of returns AND had failed to accurately rectify (while still wanting to charge me.) The errors my prior CPA had made cost me over $2000 - and I was still having to track down accurate intel when Brian essentially spotted the actual problem and took over and swiftly “cleaned up” the mess to ensure I would recover most of my rightful refund. Brian is clearly caring, has a deep deep understanding of Tax laws as well as is current and up-to-speed on the ever-changing fine-print of Tax laws. When we met he was compassionate, quick to take action, and clearly cared more about setting things right than a fee - he went above and beyond to clear up all the mess that was created, all the while staying communicative and clear about everything. If you think you can do better than your current CPA (a common problem in LA - too many take on too much and “delegate” to assistants and don’t carefully handle their clients needs - or are inaccessible because of how “busy” they are) - this is the man to call. He came highly recommended and has lived up to his reputation 100%. I just cannot believe my good fortune to have finally found a sharp, caring, and experienced CPA I am happy to know and work with.

My wife and I have had a few bad experiences with the CPAs we dealt with the past few years so we were in the market for a new CPA this tax season. We wanted to find someone local who was knowledgable, organized & most importantly a good human being. We found that in Mr. Brian T. Stoner! Brian is amazing. He was so quick to see us when we first reached out to him and has been very kind to be so accessible every since. Brian really made the daunting task of filing our taxes as easy as I have ever experienced in the past. He's even helping us with setting up our new company and I believe this is a relationship that will last for many years to come. Brian has such a great personality and all the smarts to make sure your CPA needs are always taken care of in a professional and timely manner. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP BRIAN!!!
